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

Due to O'Neal's successful steal at the last moment in the first game of the Eastern Conference, the Magic had the last laugh. The Magic also won a difficult victory at the Bulls' home court.

This is something difficult for Bulls fans to accept. After all, the Bulls had won eight consecutive games before this.

What made them most uncomfortable was that O'Neal's free throws were so accurate, which no one expected.

Even after the game, Danzi said in an interview with reporters:
"Shaq kicked our butts in this game. He beat us with his accurate free throws."

"So, we will learn from the lesson of losing this game and take the next game seriously!"

Danzi's answer was very official, but everyone could see the unwillingness in his words.

Because in Danzi's eyes, the real opponent is always the Lakers.

None of these teams in the Eastern Conference can catch his eye.

It was because of this thought that the defeat in this game made Danzi so angry.

After the game, Danzi stayed directly on the field and continued shooting training.

Danzi's madness infected other Bulls players, and they also stayed for additional training.

Whether it is Pippen or Drexler, the only belief in their hearts at this moment is to kill the Magic as soon as possible and then appear on the stage of the Finals.

Game [-] of the Western Conference Finals will be played at the home court of the Utah Jazz!
When the Lakers players came on the field, they immediately attracted huge boos.

Ye Qingchen became the public enemy of Jazz fans as always. They cursed Ye Qingchen crazily, and some even held up Ye Qingchen's cartoon portrait with humiliating words written on it.

This is a method used by home fans to interfere with away teams. Under normal circumstances, the league will not intervene.

But what is surprising is that there are many signs insulting Ye Qingchen at the Jazz home court, which is rare.

It is enough to prove how deep the hatred these Jazz fans have for Ye Qingchen.

The photographer at the scene also pointed his camera at various signs humiliating Ye Qingchen in the stands, trying to get more fans to make noise.

Of course Ye Qingchen also saw these signs, but his expression was very calm, which was something he was used to seeing.

Ye Qingchen also admires Jazz fans very much. These guys just don't have long memories.

He had already beaten many crazy fans at this home court, making them fall to the ground and unable to get up.

But as time passed, their scars healed and they forgot about the pain, and started acting like monsters again.

Ye Qingchen has never been used to such fans.

Therefore, Ye Qingchen has decided to take out the "Two Evils of Utah" severely in this game and let them know that provoking him will not end well.

The warm-up of both sides is over and the game officially begins!
The Jazz's starting lineup is all old faces, and Ye Qingchen can even recite the list of these players.

Ye Qingchen noticed that Karl Malone and Stockton looked at him differently than usual, as if they were hiding some conspiracy.

This discovery made Ye Qingchen very curious. He also wanted to know what other ways the Jazz could limit themselves.

You know, facing the same team every year is really a bit tired.

Although there is some aesthetic fatigue, the ball must continue to be played. After all, no one likes the feeling of losing.

Both sides jump the ball!

Olajuwon easily put the ball into Ye Qingchen's hands!

The Lakers take the lead in attacking!
As soon as Ye Qingchen got the ball, Stockton came up to him and even put his chin directly on his elbow!
As soon as Ye Qingchen saw it, he knew that this guy wanted to get involved.

This action can be said to be quite dangerous. As long as Ye Qingchen dribbles with a little force and the ball protector unconsciously exerts force, Stockton will most likely eat his elbow.

Although this defensive move is very dangerous, it is exactly the effect Stockton wants to achieve.

His purpose was to get Ye Qingchen to attack him and cause him to be injured, which would trigger "Ye Qingchen's Law" and he would most likely be sent off.

Once Ye Qingchen is sent off, the Lakers will fall into a leaderless dilemma.

Although Ye Qingchen, Ewing and Olajuwon were gone, Jerry Sloan didn't take them seriously at all.

Because they have degraded a lot among the Lakers, and they no longer even know how to lead the team to victory.

Ye Qingchen saw through Stockton's little thoughts at a glance. He just smiled and directly chose to dribble with his back.

With two consecutive behind-the-back dribbles, Stockton was easily pushed away, and he dribbled past half court.

Stockton's height and weight are not as good as Ye Qingchen's, so there is no way to stop his hooligan style of dribbling.

But he was not discouraged by this, and instead continued to press his body against Ye Qingchen's body.

At this time, Stockton felt like a dog-skin plaster to Ye Qingchen, extremely annoying.

His defensive moves alone will really bore many players.

Once players become bored, their movements will become larger and they will easily make irrational actions.

It's just that Stockton underestimated Ye Qingchen. He controlled his emotions very well and directly chose to pass the ball to his teammates!
Keith Owens catches the ball!
Ye Qingchen took advantage of this gap and made a quick counter run, then cut through and rushed to the inside!

Keith Owens immediately understood what Ye Qingchen meant!
He threw the ball directly in the direction of Ye Qingchen's cut!

After Ye Qingchen stepped into the penalty area, he chose to take off on one foot!
Karl Malone, who was guarding the basket, saw Ye Qingchen leaping high to complete the alley-oop. He immediately took off and bumped into Ye Qingchen.

Karl Malone certainly knows that if he simply wants to destroy the ball, he will not be able to do it.

Because the height of the pass this time was very high, he couldn't reach it at all.

So his idea was to directly foul Ye Qingchen, take him down from the air, and make his alley-oop fail.

Karl Malone's idea is not wrong, and it is also the way ordinary players block the opponent's alley-oop.

However, Karl Malone underestimated Ye Qingchen's determination to rush to the basket this time.

When Karl Malone bumped into Ye Qingchen, he was horrified to find that he couldn't hit Ye Qingchen at all, and even flew backwards!
And Ye Qingchen is still maintaining upward momentum at this moment!
The basketball was still caught steadily by Ye Qingchen!

Karl Malone lost his center of gravity in the air and fell to the ground hard!
The moment Karl Malone fell to the ground, Ye Qingchen had already slammed the ball into the basket with one hand!

The referee's whistle sounded at this time!
Karl Malone committed a personal foul, and Ye Qingchen had another chance to add a penalty!

The originally noisy home fans suddenly became quiet!
After Ye Qingchen dunked the ball, he looked at Karl Malone who was lying on the ground and said calmly:

"You were almost able to guard against me!"

After finishing speaking, Ye Qingchen also made a measuring gesture with his index finger and thumb.

Karl Malone was in a very depressed mood at the moment. He never imagined that he would be dunked in this way by Ye Qingchen at the beginning of the game.

This feeling is really too bad!
The commentator on the scene shouted loudly at this moment:
"Damn it, Ye seems to have been working hard from the beginning of the game. The Jazz are in danger now!" Stockton, who was standing at the top of the arc, looked depressed when he saw his teammate's fate.

Ye Qingchen's speed was so fast that he got rid of his entanglement in an instant and rushed to the inside, unable to effectively block him.

Ye Qingchen had already stepped to the free throw line and hit the extra penalty, and Karl Malone also stood up with the help of his teammates.

Jerry Sloan on the sidelines shouted at Karl Malone with a ferocious expression:
"What are you doing? Didn't you eat?"

"Get him right down!"

Karl Malone was very depressed about the head coach's roar.

If anyone else had been hit by him like this, he would have been thrown to the ground hard.

But now he was facing Ye Qingchen, and it was impossible to measure how strong he was.

It's the Jazz's turn to attack.

After Stockton dribbled the ball past half court, he started a pick-and-roll with Karl Malone.

Karl Malone caught the ball and easily completed an underhand layup.

Olajuwon was pushed away by his iron elbow, making him unable to defend at all.

The referee didn't say anything about Karl Malone's offense, which made Olajuwon very angry.

After Ye Qingchen saw it, he smiled and joked:
"This is their home court. It's normal to have a home whistle. You can also do this, but you'll probably be called for a foul!"

Ye Qingchen's words made Olajuwon's expression even more ugly.

After muttering, he followed Ye Qingchen and ran towards the front court.

This time, Ye Qingchen did not attack by himself, but passed the ball to Olajuwon.

After some fantastic steps, Olajuwon easily lifted Karl Malone up and made a successful layup.

Both sides' offenses are fast-paced and highly confrontational, which is what fans like to see most.

Changing sides and fighting again, Stockton controlled the ball at the top of the arc and once again hit the ground and passed to Karl Malone.

Only this time it failed!
Ye Qingchen stabbed out diagonally and cut the ball away.

After successfully stealing the ball, Ye Qingchen ran wildly forward like a wild horse.

After Stockton was intercepted, he also desperately pursued the frontcourt.

Although Ye Qingchen was very fast, Stockton did not give up and finally caught up with Ye Qingchen at the last moment.

Ye Qingchen seemed to have deliberately slowed down, waiting for Stockton's arrival.

Stockton also felt that Ye Qingchen was deliberately slowing down, so he was already on guard.

Ye Qingchen jumped and dunked!
Stockton also took off to block the shot.

In fact, Stockton's jump to block the shot was completely redundant, because it was impossible for him to block Ye Qingchen.

His purpose in doing this was to create the illusion that he accidentally bumped into Ye Qingchen while trying to block the shot.

His real purpose was to place his feet under Ye Qingchen's feet when he landed.

Yes, Stockton still used the darkest trick:

Stepping!

This time, his stepping was so clever that even Ye Qingchen was bewitched by him.

After Ye Qingchen swung the basketball into a full moon in the air, he dunked it into the basket.

From start to finish, he never felt threatened by Stockton's defense.

This surprised Ye Qingchen. When he landed, he noticed that Stockton appeared at his feet.

When Ye Qingchen discovered it, it was already too late to dodge, so he stepped directly on Stockton's feet!
Ye Qingchen felt severe pain coming from his ankle, and then his body lost support and fell on Stockton's body.

The referee saw this and hurriedly blew the whistle.

Although it was Ye Qingchen who stepped on Stockton, Stockton obviously committed a foul this time.

After the referee's whistle blew, Stockton was the first to scream, covering his feet with a painful expression.

Jerry Sloan on the sidelines complained loudly to the referee:
"Referee, what are you doing? He obviously stepped on John's foot, why did you call John a foul!??"

At this moment, Ye Qingchen fell to the ground, his expression slightly painful, and he did not get up immediately.

He wanted to feel whether there was any serious injury to his feet, which would affect his next game.

What Ye Qingchen hates most in his life is people who step in. Such people are really aiming to destroy their opponents.

This is not the first time Ye Qingchen has been stepped on like this, and the last person who was stepped on like this was almost crippled by Ye Qingchen.

This time, he actually encountered this situation again. No matter how good-tempered Ye Qingchen was, he couldn't endure it anymore.

And he also heard Jerry Sloan's complaints on the sidelines at this moment, and knew the reason why Stockton screamed first.

Isn’t this just the evil person who complains first?

If you don't do anything in this situation, wouldn't it be a disgrace to your reputation as the number one villain in the NBA?
Therefore, Ye Qingchen endured the pain in his feet, put his hands on the ground, and quickly came to Stockton's side. He asked seriously:
"Did I step on your foot?"

"???"

Stockton didn't understand why Ye Qingchen would ask such a question.

According to his understanding of Ye Qingchen, this guy would never be so kind. He must be harboring some bad intentions.

"Don't you know?"

Stockton said bitterly, his expression still showing pain.

"Okay, then I know!"

After saying that, Ye Qingchen leaned over to Stockton's side and held his feet with both hands.

Stockton finally understood that Ye Qingchen wanted to take revenge on him!

Before he could even scream, Ye Qingchen's hands had already violently squeezed his ankles!
"Snapped!"

When this voice came out, Stockton's screams finally became real. (End of chapter)
