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

Chapter 42 Before the game even started, Larry Johnson took the initiative to provoke Ye Qingchen!
Let's take a look at the starting players list of both sides.

For the Lakers, Ye Qingchen and Keith Owens are still starting. Of course, there are also Roy Sparrow at the first position, Calip at the second position, and Jack Harry at the fourth position.

Keith Owens continued to serve as the starter at position three, while Ye Qingchen appeared at position five.

On the Hornets side, Larry Johnson appeared at the fourth position.

The Hornets' No. [-] player is Elliott Perry, No. [-] player is Michael Ainsley, No. [-] player is Tony Musenberg, and No. [-] player is Eric Klechner.

In fact, apart from Larry Johnson, Ye Qingchen didn't know any of the starting players of the Hornets.

After all, the players who can appear in the summer league are basically leftovers.

Similarly, the audience at the scene actually didn't care about these players.

They were all for Larry Johnson.

When Ye Qingchen walked to the position of the small circle and was about to jump the ball with Lakener, Larry Johnson was the first to block Ye Qingchen.

Ye Qingchen frowned inadvertently when he saw Larry Johnson standing in front of him.

At this time, Larry Johnson looked at Ye Qingchen with great interest and said:
"Are you the yellow-skinned player who broke Dikembe's ribs?"

Larry Johnson's move immediately made the expressions of other Hornets players playful.

They also heard about Ye Qingchen's feat in the last game, scoring a triple-double and breaking the ribs of two Nuggets players.

Speaking of this record, it is really quite bluffing.

However, Ye Qingchen is now facing the Hornets with Larry Johnson.

No one thought that Ye Qingchen could continue the good form of the previous game.

They were even more excited when they saw Larry Johnson actively provoking Ye Qingchen.

But Ye Qingchen said lightly after listening to Larry Johnson's provocative words:

"Yes, so, let me give you a piece of advice, take good care of your ribs!"

After finishing speaking, Ye Qingchen directly knocked Larry Johnson aside with his own chest.

At this time, Larry Johnson's face instantly became ugly.

He didn't expect Ye Qingchen to be so arrogant, and even took the initiative to give him physical contact.

Just when he was about to give his counterattack, the referee arrived in time.

The referee stood between Ye Qingchen and Larry Johnson, and said in a deep voice:

"This is a basketball game, you should pay attention to your actions, words and deeds!"

Larry Johnson knew that he had no chance to fight back now.

After he gave Ye Qingchen a hard look, he returned to the Hornets lineup.

At this time, the audience at the scene suddenly became excited.

Before the game even started, Larry Johnson appeared to get into an altercation with the Lakers players.

This makes the game more interesting.

These audiences actually did their homework before the game.

They know that the Lakers also have a rookie player who performed well.

It now appears that Larry Johnson is the player who took the initiative to provoke him.

When Magic Johnson and Jerry West in the stands saw Larry Johnson provoking Ye Qingchen, their expressions became weird.

According to their understanding of Ye Qingchen, Ye Qingchen's character is not as weak as it appears on the surface.

Mutombo's fate is a good proof.

Now this Larry Johnson actually took the initiative to provoke Ye Qingchen before the game started, isn't this making him feel uncomfortable?

Now, Magic Johnson and Jerry West are looking forward to this game even more.

They believed that Ye Qingchen would definitely respond strongly during the match.

After the referee dissuaded both sides, he also signaled the game to continue!

Jump ball session!

Ye Qingchen VS Laikner!
Although Laikner's height is a few centimeters taller than Ye Qingchen's.

But Ye Qingchen's wingspan is quite terrifying, coupled with his astonishing bullet speed, Ye Qingchen easily beat Laikner by jumping.

The Lakers took the lead in getting the offensive ball.

After Roy Sparrow dribbled the ball through half court, he directed traffic at the top of the arc.

Ye Qingchen, as a player in the fifth position, immediately went up to the line and set up a pick-and-roll cover for Roy Sparrow.

With Ye Qingchen's pick-and-roll cover, Roy Sparrow quickly dribbled to a position near the free throw line.

And Ye Qingchen also turned around in time after the pick-and-roll was completed.

The quality of Ye Qingchen's pick-and-roll this time is pretty good, and the players of the Hornets couldn't react in time.

Roy Sparrow directly hit the ground and passed the ball to Ye Qingchen's hands.

But when Ye Qingchen turned around and went down, Keith Owens quickly appeared in the corner behind Ye Qingchen.

At this time, the attention of the Hornets players has been completely attracted by Ye Qingchen.

Moreover, after Ye Qingchen received the ball, he was already in the Hornets' penalty area.

It seemed too late for Lekner to rush forward to defend Ye Qingchen.

However, Larry Johnson arrived just in time.

In fact, he has been paying attention to Ye Qingchen's running.

When Ye Qingchen turned around and went down, Larry Johnson quickly recovered the inside line.

As everyone knows, Larry Johnson's shrinking defense this time left Keith Owens with a huge space.

To be precise, Larry Johnson missed someone.

Ye Qingchen's eyes were quite sharp, and he immediately saw Keith Owens who was in the empty seat.

Without even thinking about it, he passed the ball directly to Keith Owens.

Larry Johnson never thought that Ye Qingchen would pass the ball in this situation.

And Keith Owens was also very surprised. Although he ran out of the open space, he was not sure if Ye Qingchen had noticed him.

But now it seems that Ye Qingchen really noticed him.

Keith Owens remembered what Ye Qingchen said to him, that is, when there is an open space, shoot boldly.

So, he opened his hand and made a three-pointer!
Got it!

Keith Owens hit an open three-pointer at the beginning!

An assist from Ye Qingchen!
Keith Owens' expression was also quite excited, and he and Ye Qingchen completed a high-five celebration.

At this time, Larry Johnson's expression became a little ugly.

He thought that Ye Qingchen would definitely attack the basket.

But unexpectedly, Ye Qingchen chose to pass the ball.

At this time, Ye Qingchen gave Larry Johnson a disdainful look, then turned around and ran to the backcourt.

Ye Qingchen's expression made Larry Johnson quite upset.

This naked look of contempt made Larry Johnson go crazy.

"Damn!"

"I'm going to make you look good in this attack!"

Larry Johnson roared inwardly.

And Magic Johnson and Jerry West in the auditorium were all smiles.

"This guy really likes to assist his teammates to score!"

"Yes, it looks like our rookie players don't have stage fright!"

Jerry West also said with a look of surprise.

However, next, it is the Hornets' offense.

Larry Johnson will surely respond.

This makes Magic Johnson and Jerry West look forward to it even more.
