Chapter 196 Western Conference Finals! Karl Malone’s transformation, the Jazz’s ambitions!

Ewing, who was arguing with Danzi at the moment, didn't notice Barkley's actions at all, so when Barkley rushed in front of Ewing, he had no time to react.

Barkley pushed hard with both hands, and Ewing flew backwards, and his back hit the basket directly, his expression was quite painful.

I wonder if the first game of the Eastern Conference Finals, broadcast live across the United States, could attract countless viewers.

Therefore, the scene where Barkley mistakenly moved Ewing's leg was clearly seen by all the American fans, and everyone's expressions became very shocked.

Ye Qingchen also watched the game with his teammates. When he saw Barkley wrongly moving his leg against Ewing, Ye Qingchen's face showed a bright smile.

Keith Owens even loudly exclaimed:

"Oh my God, Charles actually moved his legs on Patrick? Is he afraid of being suspended?"

Keith Owens' words were also recognized by other Lakers players, thinking that Barkley's move was too impulsive.

Olajuwon's expression was also very surprised:

"That's not a good thing for the Bulls. If Charles is expelled, their strength will be greatly reduced."

When Olajuwon said those words, Ye Qingchen on the side shook his head slightly and said:

"Have we seen one side of that conflict? In fact, there is a reason for Barkley to do this!"

As soon as they finished speaking, they saw that Ewing, whose back hit the basketball hoop, had stood up again and rushed towards Barkley!

In just an instant, the two of them were already wrestling together, and the rest of the people were unable to pull them apart even if they wanted to.

Nadong, Olajuwon and others finally understood the meaning of what Ye Qingchen said just now.

It turned out that Ye Qingchen had guessed that Ewing would be unable to restrain himself and have a violent conflict with Barkley. In that case, it was very likely that both sides would play fifty rebounds each and both would be expelled from the game.

Barkley was ejected, and the Bulls' strength is actually quite sufficient, and it can even be said that it won't have much impact.

But no, if the Knicks lack Ewing, it will be a fatal blow to the Knicks.

After all, the Knicks without Ewing would really be like breaking their legs, unable to walk at all.

Therefore, Barkley's proactive attack was not an impulsive act, and it may even have been a turning point in the series.

After the hug and wrestling stalemate between Barkley and Ewing for a long time, they were finally pulled away by their respective teammates.

The audience seemed quite excited and even cheered for Barkley. They felt that Barkley's behavior was quite tough. Although he was pulled away at first, at least Barkley was the first to move his legs. He obviously wanted to be better than Ewing.

of toughness.

The scene was chaotic, and other players from both teams were also engaged in constant verbal battles, but it only stayed at the verbal exchange stage, and the conflict did not escalate.

The camera was wrongly focused on Barkley and Ewing. Their jerseys had become tattered. Apart from that, there were no obvious external injuries on their bodies. It seemed that the conflict did not cause them serious injuries.

"Did I mean what I just said? Did Charles do it on purpose?"

Olajuwon looked at Ye Qingchen in surprise and asked.

"Obvious thing!"

Ye Qingchen didn't explain too much, as those things were obviously clear at a glance.

The direction of the game did not exceed Ye Qingchen's expectations. Ewing and Barkley were both ejected from the game, and the Knicks instantly fell into a passive position.

Previously, the Bulls easily defeated the Knicks and got a good start in the Eastern Conference Finals.

The fans were very satisfied with this game. There was both a wonderful game and a very fierce conflict, which satisfied all their fantasies about this game.

With the first game of the Eastern Conference Finals over, the eyes of American fans have been focused on the first game of the Western Conference Finals!

In the Western Conference Finals, although the Lakers have not lost in the previous series, the Jazz may not have an overwhelming advantage.

In particular, the Jazz were even stronger that season than they were in the previous season, and head coach Jerry Sloan made the team's demands even higher.

The pick-and-roll between Stockton and Karl Malone has become more and more proficient, and Karl Malone has even developed three-point skills. After the pick-and-roll, he sometimes bounces directly outside the three-point line to catch the ball.

Legs, and the hit rate is not low.

The changes in Karl Malone's playing style made many players in the league feel very uncomfortable, which made Karl Malone even more difficult to defend.

In fact, the main reason for Karl Malone's change in play style is not that Jerry Sloan made the mistake of asking for him.

In the minds of many people, Jerry Sloan's first impression is that he is rigid and stubborn, and he knows how to use pick-and-roll tactics. He is simply stubborn.

But in fact, after being crushed by the Lakers for an entire season, Jerry Sloan has already begun to seriously think about the reasons for his loss.

Therefore, during the offseason of last season, he had already had a bold idea: since he was playing against the opponent, why not imitate the opponent's style of play?

Especially Ye Qingchen, his style of play is very versatile, it can even be said that Ye Qingchen can play from the 1st position to the 5th position, and Karl Malone has a very similar body shape to him.

Since Ye Qingchen can shoot from beyond the three-point line, why can't Karl Malone?

Otherwise, Jerry Sloan had the bold idea of ​​asking Karl Malone to practice shooting three-pointers.

Karl Malone refused the coach's request at first, but Jerry Sloan was too overbearing, threatening to bench him next season if he didn't obey his orders.

exist.

Surrendering to Jerry Sloan's power, Karl Malone had to obey his orders and start practicing three-point shooting.

I want to know, at that time, Karl Malone's playing style had basically been finalized. Is it really difficult for him to make changes?

But no, Jerry Sloan always reminded him in his ears:

"Why can that guy do it but I can't?"

That sentence stimulated Karl Malone's motivation for transformation, and Karl Malone worked hard on three-point shooting throughout the summer.

When Karl Malone developed his three-point shooting ability, the regular season had already begun.

But no, Jerry Sloan did not allow Karl Malone to shoot three-pointers in the regular season. He said that was the Jazz's secret weapon.

Otherwise, the Jazz's big move was held back until the playoffs before it was unleashed.

Therefore, the Jazz's mistakes in the first two rounds were caught off guard by Karl Malone's three-point long shot, and they lost the game.

When Karl Malone stood in the Western Conference Finals, he was already full of confidence again. I have to say, knowing how to shoot three-pointers is really cool!

In that Western Conference finals, many fans and experts believed that Karl Malone was the Jazz's biggest reliance. His transformation would bring a lot of trouble to the Lakers. But Karl Malone, who was both inside and outside, was really difficult to defend.

.

But no, for the Lakers players, Karl Malone is simply insignificant. Even if he can shoot three-pointers, it is not enough to pose a huge threat to the Lakers.

The first game of the Western Conference Finals was played at the home court of the Lakers. The entire arena was already packed, and the seats on the sidelines were filled with celebrities. The Lakers have reached the Western Conference Finals for three consecutive years.

Shifa Tuohuang’s achievements.

For the local fans in Los Angeles, reaching the Western Conference Finals is no longer enough to satisfy them. They want to see the Lakers win the O'Brien Cup again.

With the starting players of both sides finished playing, the game officially begins!

Of course, the Lakers were the first to get the ball. Ye Qingchen played at the one position. After dribbling the ball across half court, he observed the movement of his teammates at the top of the arc.

At this time, Fo Stockton was standing in front of Ye Qingchen, his eyes full of determination, staring at the basketball in Ye Qingchen's legs.

Seeing Stockton's expression, Ye Qingchen began to admire his courage.

If I remember correctly, the first time I had sex with him, he paid the price with a broken rib.

Even in the competition after the moon, he was often humiliated by Ye Qingchen in various ways, but until the bright moon came, he still had a heart that wanted to defeat Ye Qingchen.

In fact, if Stockton wanted to seek revenge against Ye Qingchen again, he felt that he would definitely have a chance to defeat Ye Qingchen.

That season is their best chance!

Ye Qingchen saw that Olajuwon had successfully blocked the position, and ignored Stockton in front of him, and directly passed the ball to Olajuwon.

After the pass was completed, Ye Qingchen was trying to get rid of Stockton's defense and rush to the outside, but Stockton directly hung on him, like a dog-skin plaster, which he couldn't get rid of even if he tried.

After Olajuwon received the ball over there, after continuous shaking, Karl Malone could no longer find his way, and Olajuwon easily completed the score at the basket.

The Lakers fans at the scene burst into loud cheers when they saw that scene, and were very satisfied with Olajuwon's attack.

Stockton over there saw Olajuwon scoring easily, his expression was very depressed, and he shouted loudly at Karl Malone:

"Hey, Carl, I'm on defense and don't ask for distraction!"

If Stockton yelled like Karl Malone, Ye Qingchen wouldn't say anything.

But during the exchange with Karl Malone, Stockton actually used his shoulder to secretly bump into Dong Ye Qingchen's back.

This is obviously a "mopping" move. On the basketball court, such a small move is used to irritate the wrong leg, and it is considered a ruthless trick.

Therefore, Ye Qingchen immediately turned his head and stared at Stockton and said:

"If I want to die, he will make it happen for me!"

Ye Qingchen's warning was wrong, but Stockton didn't take it to heart at all.

Ever since he watched the first game of the Eastern Conference Finals, he had already had the same idea. If he could successfully cheat Ye Qingchen, then it would be a great thing for the Jazz.
