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

Chapter 70 A triple-double at halftime!The Rockets are in a hurry, and they are going to be ruthless!
Magic Johnson, who was watching the game, looked very proud at this time.

Ye Qingchen's performance met his expectations.

Especially when he saw Olajuwon deflated by Ye Qingchen's defense, he even laughed out loud:
"Pretty!"

"This Hajim often plays tricks on others with his offensive footwork, and now he has finally met his nemesis!"

"When he was knocked out by Ye just now, his expression was quite painful!"

"He definitely suffered a big loss!"

"Nice!"

"Sure enough, he is indeed the player I selected, and he did not disappoint me!"

"Under his defense, Hajim even made it very difficult to make a shot. This also surprised me very much!"

Jerry West was also quite excited at this time.

Of course, he was quite concerned about Ye Qingchen's performance in the opening match.

This opening match was a test for Ye Qingchen, and it was actually a test for Jerry West.

Now, Ye Qingchen has such a wonderful performance at the beginning, which proves that Ye Qingchen's strength is strong.

This is also a good explanation for the Lakers owner Bass.

However, the game had just started, and the Rockets' unfamiliarity with Ye Qingchen allowed Ye Qingchen to perform well in defense and offense.

Then, after the timeout, the Rockets will definitely focus on marking Ye Qingchen.

It would be difficult for Ye Qingchen to continue to perform well in the next game.

This time is the time to test Ye Qingchen's ability.

If Ye Qingchen can handle the ball skillfully after being targeted by the Rockets, then it can prove that Ye Qingchen has the potential of a super star.

Rockets bench.

Head coach Don Cheney is explaining defensive tactics to the players.

"You all saw it just now, we underestimated player No. 28 and let him kick our ass hard!"

"So, next, we can't let him run wild on our heads!"

"Our offense should stay as far away from him as possible, and our defense should focus on taking care of him, and double-team him when necessary!"

Coach Don Cheney's words made the Rockets players nod constantly.

For Ye Qingchen, it is indeed important to take care of him, and he cannot be allowed to continue to be rampant.

"Hey, Hajim, I asked Thorpe to do an off-ball screen for you. After you catch the ball in the middle distance, you must shoot decisively!"

"You want to respond to him with what you are good at, can you do it?"

"Don't worry, coach, just leave it to me!"

Olajuwon said in a deep voice.

Obviously, at this time, he also understood the intention of the head coach.

The purpose of asking Thorpe to cover him off the ball is to prevent Ye Qingchen from pestering him, which will make Olajuwon's offense easier.

After rearranging the tactics, the game continued.

After the timeout, the Rockets really changed their offensive strategy.

Under Thorpe's off-ball cover, Olajuwon was already in an unguarded state after receiving the ball.

Directly pull out the middle distance and make a steady hit!
At this moment, Ye Qingchen was firmly blocked by Thorpe.

For this result, Ye Qingchen had actually predicted it long ago.

After all, no one who can play in the NBA is a fool.

Especially when they clearly know that their defense is very strong, the Rockets must let Olajuwon avoid the edge.

It's just that after Olajuwon made a shot, he also showed a painful expression on his face.

There was still a dull pain in his chest.

He even wondered if there was something wrong with the ribs in his chest.

It's just that the team still needs him now, and he can't rest because of this.

Ye Qingchen noticed Olajuwon's painful expression, and he guessed something.

Ye Qingchen shook his head lightly, saying that games in this era are full of confrontation, but how do you feel that these stars are vulnerable?

If Olajuwon heard Ye Qingchen's idea, he might be so angry that he spit out a mouthful of old blood.

You know, fierce confrontation does not mean injury.

The Rockets' defense against the Lakers has also become targeted.

After Ye Qingchen received the ball, the Rockets players quickly double-teamed him.

As everyone knows, this is what Ye Qingchen wants.

The reason why he attacked continuously in the opening game was actually to make the Rockets notice him and then double-team him.

In this way, he can use his containment to pass the ball into the hands of open teammates.

In addition, Ye Qingchen had a height advantage, so he found an open teammate as soon as he was double-teamed.

The basketball was quickly passed by Ye Qingchen, and it was Divac who caught the ball.

The latter had already slipped inside, and after receiving a pass from Ye Qingchen, he made an easy layup and scored.

The Lakers' offense seemed very relaxed, and Dunleavy was quite satisfied with the result.

And then, the Rockets and the Lakers launched a confrontation.

The Rockets' main offensive firepower is Olajuwon, and when Ye Qingchen wants to defend Olajuwon, there will always be players to replace Ye Qingchen.

Don't let Ye Qingchen have the chance to defend Olajuwon alone.

And when Olajuwon faced the defense of other Lakers players, he also asked for anything, and his "dream footsteps" also played vividly.

And the Rockets also couldn't limit Ye Qingchen's performance.

It can even be said that he was played around by Ye Qingchen.

When the Rockets double-team Ye Qingchen, Ye Qingchen will decisively pass the ball to the open teammate and assist the teammate to score.

When the Rockets do not double-team Ye Qingchen, Ye Qingchen will directly use his strong body to savagely rush to the basket.

Few members of Team Rocket could resist Ye Qingchen's charge.

Either Ye Qingchen easily scored at the basket, or they caused a foul and let Ye Qingchen go to the free throw line.

Ye Qingchen's style of play made the Rockets players very depressed and helpless.

Even, at the end of the first half, the Lakers had already led the Rockets by as much as 10 points.

65: 55!

Looking at Ye Qingchen's personal data, it is quite outstanding:

20 points, 12 rebounds, 12 assists, 3 steals, 4 blocks.

A triple-double was already scored at halftime. Looking at the entire history of the NBA, it is also quite explosive.

You know, this is Ye Qingchen's first NBA regular season game.

Facing the Texas powerhouse Rockets, Olajuwon still exists in the Rockets.

Therefore, Ye Qingchen's performance is already enough to make the players of the entire league pay attention to him.

In the Rockets' locker room, Olajuwon's expression was very solemn.

His performance was actually not hip-pushing. Apart from being successfully defended by Ye Qingchen in the opening game, he was also eye-catching in the following games.

He scored a double-double of 20+10.

However, compared with Ye Qingchen, his performance was indeed much inferior.

At this time, Don Cheney expressed his request with a serious expression:
"In the second half, we need to be tougher!"

"If he dares to rush to the basket again, you must pull him down severely!"

"At any cost, let him know the real confrontation in the NBA!"
