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

After the third game, the reporter interviewed Jerry Sloan again:
"Do you regret the outcome of this game?"

"What do you regret? We just didn't execute our tactics, but we are still very capable! We will make a comeback in the next game!"

I have to say that Jerry Sloan has the toughest mouth in his entire body.

When the Jazz players learned what the head coach said, they almost cried!
They have completely lost confidence in this series and have begun to mess up!

In fact, the purpose was not to provoke Ye Qingchen, hoping that he would be merciful.

Losing 65 points in a single game really ranks among the top three in history. They don't want to lose more.

But at this time, head coach Jerry Sloan is still insisting that he can make a comeback?
Ye Qingchen has said that basketball is not about fighting and killing, it is about human relationships.

If you give in at this time, he will most likely be merciful!

The outcome is already determined, so why try to provoke him?
Ye Qingchen is really not a good person. He is even more narrow-minded than Danzi. This guy will not allow others to slander him in any way.

But the words have been said, what else can be done?

I can only bear Ye Qingchen's impact silently!
Therefore, the fourth game between the Lakers and Jazz also made the Lakers fans at the scene excited.

In this game, Ye Qingchen never took a shot from outside the three-point line. All his points came from inside scoring!

Almost every time, he attacked the Jazz's inside line and scored a layup or dunk under the strict defense of the Jazz players!

Although Jerry Sloan was heavily guarding the penalty area, he still couldn't stop Ye Qingchen's impact.

Ye Qingchen dunked six times in the first quarter. The Kalmaron people were stunned by Ye Qingchen's dunks!

As soon as he saw Ye Qingchen rushing in from the outside, he subconsciously hid behind or to the side. He really didn't dare to defend him anymore!

This was even more true for Stockton. After Ye Qingchen dribbled the ball past halftime, he directly made way for Ye Qingchen to attack directly.

It's not that Stockton doesn't want to defend, it's that he really can't!

Every time he defended seriously, Stockton would be knocked away by Ye Qingchen, causing him to foul and score easily!

Instead of giving Ye Qingchen a chance to score three points, it would be better to only let him get two points. At least the latter would have one point less!
Jerry Sloan, who was on the sidelines, saw the defensive attitude of the players and knew that they were completely defeated by Ye Qingchen!

But Jerry Sloan was still dissatisfied, and he yelled at the Jazz players on the court:

"You damn cowards, you get such a high salary and you do nothing on the court!

He is human too!

You don't even have the courage to defend him!

If it were me, I would have let him know what fierce defense means!
I will never let him have his way with me! "

Jerry Sloan was obviously blinded by the loss and dared to say anything.

Just in time, Ye Qingchen listened to all his words, which made the smile on Ye Qingchen's face become even stronger.

It seems that we really need to take some strong medicine to make this Jerry Sloan weak!

So, from the beginning of the second quarter, Ye Qingchen started to go all out, frantically attacking the Jazz's inside line!

As long as someone is in front of him, he will just step past and slam the ball into the basket!
The Jazz players are all stupid!

They have all moved out of the way, but Ye Qingchen is still attacking their inside line so unscrupulously. Is this interesting?

Even the Lakers players couldn't bear it when they saw Ye Qingchen's attitude.

Ewing stood outside the three-point line and whispered to Olajuwon, who was also standing next to him:
"Did this guy Ye take aphrodisiacs? He seems to really have a lot of resentment towards the Jazz!"

"Yes, he already said that basketball is about human nature, so why is he so cruel?"

"That's because Jerry Sloan is ignorant and always has a tough mouth. There's nothing we can do to persuade him!"

"Then forget it. It feels like we can easily win the game without any effort from us. It's actually quite satisfying!"

Ewing and Olajuwon looked at each other and smiled. For them, this playoffs is like a vacation trip. They are walking on the court, extremely relaxed!

After halftime, the Jazz were already 50 points behind!

30: 80!

Ye Qingchen scored as many as 50 points, and his own basket was buckled by Ye Qingchen!

The camera once again focused on Jerry Sloan on the sidelines. At this moment, there was no light in his eyes!

Jerry Sloan's dim eyes told everyone that he was really desperate now!

After the first half, Jerry Sloan turned around and walked to the locker room with his head down. His steps were even a little staggering at this moment.

This time, Ye Qingchen really completely defeated him!

Although he didn't say it, judging from his expression and demeanor, he had completely lost heart for this game!

But what Ye Qingchen wanted was not his attitude, but his words!

Therefore, after returning from halftime, Ye Qingchen still didn't give up. In the third quarter, he still bombarded the Jazz's inside line indiscriminately!

After the final three quarters, Ye Qingchen scored 82 points, while the Jazz only scored 10 points in a single quarter!
40: 115!

After three quarters, the Jazz were already trailing by 75 points!
Just looking at this score, someone who didn’t know better would have thought that the Lakers’ opponent was the women’s basketball team!
After clocking out in the third quarter, Ye Qingchen returned to the bench and sat down.

The camera once again focused on Jazz head coach Jerry Sloan. At this moment, he was no longer standing on the sidelines, but sitting on the bench, with a dull expression and empty eyes!

Even the commentator on the scene said with a sympathetic face at this moment:

"Jerry was really completely defeated by Ye this time. Can he continue to coach with such an attitude?"

Finally, at the end of the game, the Lakers defeated the Jazz 60:135 and won the fourth game!

Sweeping the Utah Jazz 4-0, taking the lead in reaching the Western Conference Finals!

In this round of the series, the Lakers have refreshed fans' understanding of the playoffs. Can the playoffs still be played like this?
Ye Qingchen's strength also makes teams across the league tremble, especially those teams that will become his opponents.

However, for the Spurs, their current task is to kill their opponent SuperSonics first, and then think about other things!The Spurs finally defeated the SuperSonics 4-2 and successfully met the Lakers in the Western Conference Finals!
The Spurs' score really exceeded many people's expectations, but for Popovich, everything is under control!
As for Jones, the secret weapon, Popovich has never used it so far!
Even many media reporters did not notice that the Spurs had a strong substitute player.

After it was determined that the opponent in the Western Conference Finals would be the Lakers, the Spurs players all became extremely cautious.

Especially Kobe, he started preparing for the game without even taking a break.

The outside world is generally not optimistic about the Spurs in this series. After all, the Lakers really pushed the Spurs to the ground during the regular season.

At the same time, the two teams in the East were also decided, the Pacers and the Magic!

After Danzi announced his retirement, the Bulls' performance plummeted and they were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs.

For the Eastern Conference Finals, the Magic almost showed one-sided support.

After all, with O'Neal's Magic team, there are really few people who can shake their status.

The first game to start was the Eastern Conference Finals. The Magic relied on O'Neal's outstanding performance to kill everyone under the basket, scoring a huge double-double of 50+25, and won their first victory in the series.

After the game, O'Neal said:
"The Pacers are not our opponent, and rushing out of the Eastern Conference is not my goal. My ultimate goal has always been the championship!"

Although O'Neal did not express any opinions on the Lakers and Spurs, his words were a declaration.

He has waited too long in the east!

Before Danzi retired, he had been suppressed by Danzi!

He couldn't even break out of the east!
Now that Danzi has announced his retirement, O'Neal can lead the team out of the Eastern Conference, which gives him great confidence.

Although Ye Qingchen is still very powerful, O'Neill feels that Ye Qingchen has begun to grow old and it is time to conquer him!
After Game [-] of the Eastern Conference Finals, it’s Game [-] of the Western Conference Finals!

Since the Spurs hold the home court advantage, the first two games of the series are played at the Spurs' home court.

For this series, the focus of all fans is how many points the Spurs will lose in this game.

No one thought that the Spurs could defeat the Lakers. After all, the Lakers tortured the entire Jazz team to death in the second round of the playoffs.

Even Jazz head coach Jerry Sloan was rumored to be seeing a psychiatrist after losing the series.

This news is enough to show how much psychological trauma Ye Qingchen has caused to the Jazz.

The Spurs also deliberately kept a low profile before the game and did not make any remarks about their opponent, the Lakers.

Even Kobe said in an interview:
"We will try our best to bring out our own characteristics and strive to make the game exciting!"

Kobe didn't mention anything about the victory, and he was obviously worried that his remarks would anger Ye Qingchen.

Because once Ye Qingchen gets angry, the consequences will be really serious.

But although he didn't say anything, Popovich seriously warned Jones before the start of this series:

"In this round of competition, I will let you play. Your target is Ye Qingchen. What you have to do is to use your body to cause him enough trouble, and you can even use your actions to anger him!

I think you should know now why I asked you to do this, right? "

Jones waited for so long and finally got his chance to play.

He understood what head coach Popovich said instantly.

It was just to let him use his defensive ability to cause trouble to Ye Qingchen, so that he would not have a big impact on the Lakers.

Everyone knows that the most important player of the Lakers is Ye Qingchen. As long as Ye Qingchen is taken care of, the Lakers will have nothing to fear!

Jones confidently said to Popovich:

"Don't worry, coach, I will definitely let him know what rugby-style physical confrontation is!"

Popovich was very satisfied with Jones' words. He was very satisfied with the defensive ability Jones showed during training.

This guy's physical confrontation ability is really strong, even Duncan is afraid of him.

In Game [-] of the Western Conference Finals, the Spurs' home court was overcrowded.

Looking around, the entire arena is wearing Spurs T-shirts, which looks very impressive.

The atmosphere at the scene was even more enthusiastic, and almost everyone was looking forward to this game.

Spurs fans certainly know that the outside world does not have confidence in them, but they are full of expectations for the home team.

In particular, the cooperation between Kobe, Duncan and David Robinson has reached the point of perfection.

After a season of training from Popovich, Kobe's playing style has become much more mature and stable, his shots are more reasonable, and his shooting percentage has improved a lot.

No matter which angle you compare, they are not inferior to the Lakers.

As for the issue of defending Ye Qingchen, the Spurs players believe that as long as they attack Ye Qingchen resolutely, it will be effective!
The starting lineups of both sides were the same as before, and they were extremely familiar.

For the Spurs, Jaren Jackson and Malik Rose became a backcourt partner, while Kobe was pushed to the third position.

The Lakers players are a little confused about the arrangement of this lineup.

However, for them, no matter what lineup the Spurs use, they cannot shake them.

As soon as the game started, Ye Qingchen took the lead and started to attack!
He used his breakthrough ability to easily tear apart the Spurs' defense and completed a dunk at the basket!

What surprised Ye Qingchen was that the inside combination of Duncan and David Robinson allowed him to score directly under the basket.

Is this defensive strategy serious?

Is this Popovich's defensive strategy against Ye Qingchen?
Ye Qingchen is a little confused, but he will not be soft-hearted because of this. Since his opponents have allowed him to score, he will score decisively!

Of course, the Spurs' offense is equally sharp. Kobe and Duncan's pick-and-roll cooperation requires even Ye Qingchen to spend a little effort on defense, otherwise they will find good scoring opportunities!
After the game started, both teams had good offensive shooting percentages, and they were playing back and forth, and it was hard to tell the difference for a while!
The Spurs were unable to restrict Ye Qingchen, which became a problem for the Spurs.

After the first official timeout, Popovich made changes to the Spurs' lineup.

A player who has never appeared in the Spurs lineup appears!
He is Jones, the secret weapon that Popovich spent most of the season training!
When Jones appeared in front of Ye Qingchen, Ye Qingchen was also briefly stunned:
"This guy looks very strong? And his eyes are very fierce?"
