Chapter 22
Soon, halfway through the first quarter.

At this time, the score on the field came to 29-16, and the Cavaliers were 13 points behind.

In the first quarter, the Hawks scored 30 points just like that. Yun Chen even felt that they had a chance to score 40 points.

JR and Thompson are simply two defensive black holes, and sometimes they even make a friendly guest appearance as a black hole in possession of the ball.The offense didn't score a goal, and the defense was completely overwhelmed. With such a performance, Yunchen even felt that they were not qualified to go to the CBA.

If it weren't for Love's strong personal ability and Osman's good touch, I'm afraid the game would have been spent.

With 2 minutes and 30 seconds left in the first quarter, the game entered an official timeout, and Tyronn Lue finally realized that he was going to make a substitution, but what people didn't expect was that he had to do 4 ups and 4 downs, and all starters, except Love, were off. rest.

Clarkson played at the first position, shooting guard Korver, small forward Yun Chen finally got the chance to play, power forward played Larry Nance, and Love was pushed to the fifth position.

This substitution actually surprised Yunchen a bit, because apart from the inappropriateness of changing Osman himself, it was indeed a wise choice for the other "pitholes" to be replaced.

Just like the last timeout, Yun Chen still didn't listen carefully to Tyronnlu's tactics this time, because he felt that it was useless at all...

After Yun Chen came on the court, boos once again broke out. Even though he played well in the summer league, the fans still didn't buy him very much.

"Huh..." With a long breath, Yunchen walked slowly to the flank to mark the small forward Prince on the opposite side.

The Eagles have the ball, and Jeremy Lin has already rested. At this time, Tre Young organized the offense alone.

Dedmon came up to pick and roll, and Clarkson was blocked, but Love came to defend and did not let him break through. On the other side, Dedmon was also firmly stuck by Nance.

An attack failed, the opponent began to pass the ball continuously, and soon gave the ball to Prince who was facing Yunchen.

Prince didn't intend to pass the ball after holding the ball. He was obviously ready to play singles, and several other teammates also cooperated to open up space.

"Hehe, do you regard me as a breakthrough point..." Yunchen couldn't help laughing, just like last season when the team played the Warriors against Curry, Yunchen was also regarded by the opponent as the position that is most likely to be scored.

"Huh!" Prince is a tall black man who weighs more than 100 kilograms. In terms of physical strength, Yunchen is far inferior to him, so it is a wise choice to let him play Yunchen single-handedly.

However, Yun Chen had studied this player earlier. Taurean Prince has a certain three-point ability but is not very accurate. He is physically strong and should be good at breakthroughs. However, most of his points last season came from CIC. .

The reason why he is so contradictory is that his ball handling skills are very unskilled!It can even be said that it sucks!

So when Prince lowered his focus to play singles, Yun Chen immediately took half a step back to distance himself.

Let you three points, and then when you break through, destroy your dribble and let you stop the ball inside the three-point line!

He's betting that Prince won't shoot the [-].

Facts proved that he was right. Prince hesitated and chose to break through. Seeing this, Yunchen immediately stretched out his hands to push against his body.

However, the difference in weight was too large after all, so Yun Chen didn't push her head-on, but leaned slightly to the side, and at the same time leaned forward to block the opponent's progress.

"Hmm!" Yun Chen's eyes were blackened by the impact of Prince's breakthrough, and it felt like a piece of black iron had hit him.

But the discomfort is the discomfort, Yunchen is still clear on defense, and immediately reaches out to destroy his dribble, the opponent's dribble is high and not fast, there is a good opportunity here.

"Crack!" Sure enough, Prince didn't notice Yun Chen's hand stretched out from the side, and was so frightened that he immediately picked up the ball, and he stopped the ball in a very awkward position.

But at this time the attack time is only 3 seconds left, he can only choose to shoot.

Almost twisting his body, Prince forcibly jumped up to shoot. Yun Chen then jumped up to interfere, and the ball could be felt from the shot.

The "bang" ball bounced out of the frame, and Nance Jr., who came off the bench, was much more motivated than Thompson, and successfully protected the backcourt rebound.

"Phew!" Yunchen didn't stop for a second after successfully defending, and ran out of Prince's entanglement, and looked back at Nance Jr. who had already got the ball and stretched out his hand for the ball.

Nance understood, and a ball across the half court was accurately given to Yun Chen, and Yun Chen accelerated and rushed to the basket.

But in front of his eyes, at some point Dedmon had already reached the basket!
"When did he come here!"

Yun Chen's eyes widened in disbelief, he had come over as fast as he could, but he still ran into a defender.

"Could it be...he didn't believe that Prince could score at all? So he came back to defend early?" Yun Chen felt a little pain in his head. This Dedmon's brain circuit is really different from others, and he doesn't believe in his teammates at all.

But Yunchen was not afraid of his defense, he paused for a while near the three-point line, and then continued to speed up and rush over!
Facing someone who has already occupied his own offensive line, there is a very good move to break through the defense!
That's the Eurostep!

The body moves in the direction that the foot on the same side is moving forward, while the other foot moves in the opposite direction of the foot that landed on the ground earlier, and it is a big step change, and then the body also moves in the direction of the other foot.It is equivalent to changing direction at high speed. When the other foot lands, the upper body completes the direction change. With the foot on the ground as the supporting foot, exert force, take off, and layup to avoid walking!

European Buy Yunchen has practiced countless times during the offseason, and he has already mastered the essentials of the movements!
He decided to practice this move after watching a lot of Wade's personal collections. It is very practical!

"Wow!"

With two perfect steps, Dedmond's feet didn't move at all as if they were nailed in place, and he watched Yunchen break through!
"Shua!" Wipe the board and break in!A perfect Eurostep! 33-20!

"Wow!" Countless voices of exclamation resounded from the scene that had been silent for almost a quarter. Yun Chen's movement was so perfect that Dedmond became a complete background board.

"Good shot!" All the teammates following him burst into laughter. This was Yunchen's first score in the NBA.

"Haha." Yun Chen suddenly became the focus of everyone, and immediately scratched his head in embarrassment.

But when they were joking, the action on the other side did not stop. Dedmon, who was broken by Yunchen, served the ball instantly, and Trey Young dribbled the ball across the frontcourt before the Cavaliers recovered!

The game is not over yet!
At this time, there are only Korver and Love in the frontcourt. Facing the defense of the opponent's four players, it is obviously not enough.

But after Yunchen and the others reacted, they all returned to the backcourt to defend as quickly as possible.

After scoring a goal, their momentum suddenly changed, and their defensive strength has also been greatly improved. Tre Young, who did not seize the opportunity just now, was very uncomfortable being closely marked by Clarkson, and made a mistake of jumping and passing the ball.

Of course Yunchen would not let go of this opportunity, and directly reached out to steal it, and then it was the second dragon without a word!

But this time, because both sides reacted quickly, Yunchen didn't have a chance to layup directly, but he still chose to break through to the left, and the two defenders in front immediately came to block him, so there was a space on the right.

Little Nance saw Yunchen breaking to the left, and immediately slid down to the right. Yunchen understood, broke through to the three-point line and gave the ball to Nance after two steps. The unguarded Nance dunked hard! 33-22!

"Speed ​​up!" With the lesson learned just now, the few who scored this time did not celebrate any more, and quickly retreated back to defense.

Yun Chen deliberately walked up to each teammate and told them to speed up, because the opponent's speed is bound to slow down after Jeremy Lin is off the court. If he plays slowly at this time, it is definitely in his favor, and it is not conducive to chasing points, so he can only find it by playing fast. more opportunities.

The opponent's offense, I have to say that the personal ability of the Eagles' players is really not one or two points worse than other teams. Except for Tre Young, almost no one has the ability to play singles with the ball. rebound.

Yunchen still didn't slow down, Clarkson caught the ball under his reminder and went all the way. After halftime, Yunchen threw off Prince's defense and directly cut inside.

Clarkson saw Yunchen's action, so he didn't choose to attack by himself this time. He passed the ball vertically to Yunchen, and Yunchen made a two-step layup. 33-24.

The point difference reached single digits at this time, and the Cavaliers relied on speed to hit a 6-0 spurt.

The mood of the home fans was also high at this time, and the cheering and cheering sounded a lot.

Morale is such a thing, the better the fight, the better!

With less than 1 minute left in the first quarter, the Eagles did not request a timeout. They were ready to waste time. Tre Young held the ball and stopped for more than ten seconds, and then used Prince's pick-and-roll to break through. Pull up the jumper.

But he still made a young mistake. He didn't notice that Nance came over to defend him next to him, and was directly blocked by the side!

Clarkson received the ball and dribbled to the frontcourt. At this time, there were about 20 seconds left in the clock. He did not rush to attack, and it took the last 9 seconds to start the breakthrough.

His teammates were already in position. He used Nance's cover to break inward, and the opponent's defensive center of gravity shrank inward at the same time, but at this time Clarkson chose to pass the ball again and suddenly scored to Korver on the outside. Korver How fast the shot is, just take off and shoot!

"Shh!"

Three points hit! 33-27!

9-0!

After the substitute came up, the Cavaliers seemed to be revitalized, and they were full of vitality in an instant.
