Chapter 63

Yun Chen muttered to herself, lacking that kind of confidence?The kind of confidence that you can invest in?
He turned his head and cast his eyes on the field again. At this time, the game had already progressed to the first quarter with more than two minutes left, and the point difference between the two sides remained at 9 points.

After JR came on the field, the Cavaliers' offensive tactics changed accordingly, increasing mid-range shots.

However, the offensive effect is not very good. JR is still as good as ever, and only hits one of three shots. Fortunately, the opponent's shooting rate has also dropped now, so the point difference has not been widened.

Yun Chen sighed. Although the situation has been temporarily stabilized, he still needs to open up his hand if he wants to recover the point difference.

Soon, the first quarter ended, the score of the two sides came to 29-19, and the Trail Blazers led the Cavaliers by 10 points.

Players from both sides walked back to the bench.

Because of Yun Chen's absence, Le Fu was under a lot more pressure in the first quarter than in the previous games. He was already panting and sweating profusely, and he sat down and collapsed in his seat as soon as he came back.

He should not be able to play for at least the first half of the second quarter.

Tyronn Lue shook his head looking at Love's appearance, it was impossible for him alone to defeat the Blazers.

Immediately, he shifted his gaze to Yun Chen: "Li, if you don't adjust your state, we really have no hope for this game."

Not only him, even the other teammates turned their attention to Yun Chen at this time.

Yun Chen couldn't help being stunned when he saw this. It was inevitable that he would be embarrassed by so many people suddenly, but he also suddenly realized that he had become an indispensable part of the team's victory invisibly.

Although he knew that he was important to the team before, but today, he understands what his outside shooting means to the team.

Only when his outside line is opened can the team play a beautiful inside and outside line.

"I...let's try." Yun Chen replied after hesitating for a long time.

But as soon as he said this, a big hand from Nance Jr. behind him directly covered his head: "Try what? Is this the modesty of you Orientals? As the core of the team's perimeter, you should say, Give me the ball and I'll make it!"

"Eh..." Yun Chen wanted to turn to look at him.

"That's right, Li, you are the core of the outside line. If you don't have confidence, what should we do?" At this time, Zizhiqi and others also came over and patted him on the shoulder.

"..."

A few minutes later, the second quarter started. In this quarter, both sides made relatively large personnel adjustments. The Cavaliers played almost a pure substitute lineup.

Seth Curry at No. [-], Korver at No. [-], Li Yunchen at No. [-], Nance Jr. at No. [-], and Ante Zizic at No. [-].

There are no other characteristics of this lineup, except that the outside line is extremely accurate, and they come up with only one purpose, that is to open the outside line!

The Blazers also went on the bench, they sent the backup core Evan Turner, and the offensive guard Sabah Zi Napier.

"Beep" The referee blew his whistle, the game officially started, and the first wave of offense belonged to the Trail Blazers.

Napier had a strong desire to attack after he came on the court, or maybe he felt that Seth Curry was a bully, so he made a breakthrough as soon as he came up, trying to score a layup.

But he obviously underestimated the Cavaliers' defensive conversion ability. Just after he passed Seth Curry, he was caught by Nance Jr. in the interior, and the ball was slapped and flew out as soon as he lifted the ball.

Yunchen quickly got the ball with quick eyes and hands, and immediately started to counterattack. This is their best attack mode.

All the way down to the front of the three-point line, here the opponent followed very quickly, and immediately two people surrounded him, one from the left and one from the right. Although he was not very accurate in the first quarter, the Blazers still did not intend to relax. defense.

But at this time, Seth Curry had successfully ran out of space on the other side of the three-point line, and Yunchen directly passed a long pass.

Seth Curry catches the ball and makes a shot, "shua"!Three points hit!His touch is quite hot! 29-22.

It is good news for Yunchen that his teammates can hit three-pointers, so that his pressure will be much less.

Offensive and defensive transition, this time the opponent played cautiously and began to look for opportunities inside, but Zizic's height of 2 meters played a huge role, interfering with the opponent's restricted area and missed shots.

When the knights attacked again, they wanted to speed up and counterattack but were cut off, so they could only fall into positional battles.

Immediately, Korver, Yunchen and Seth Curry used their new tactics, and Yunchen Korver ran to the bottom corner after switching defenses outside the three-point line.

Seth Curry saw the opportunity to give Qiu Yunchen, and at this time he had a big open space.

"Huh." Because no one followed to defend, he had enough time to adjust his shot.

After taking a deep breath, he raised his hand to shoot.

"Shua!" But the feeling of this shot was no different from that of the first quarter, and he knew it was crooked as soon as he threw it.

"Bang!" Strike the iron, Yunchen made 4 of 0 shots, and wasted a chance with a wide open.

But this time he didn't panic like he did in the first quarter. Instead, he ran back to defend naturally after he missed the shot, as if he didn't make the shot.

Beside him, Seth Curry came to comfort him: "It's okay, Lee, he will always make a shot."

Yun Chen nodded and did not speak.

The Blazers attacked, and they handed the ball to Nurkic on the inside. This time, Nurkic had grown up. Facing Zizic, he didn't force a shot, but a dreamy footstep that swayed the defense before making a small hook. shot.

scored. 31-22, the difference between the two sides returned to 9 points.

Nance Jr. serves and Seth Curry advances with the ball.

Yunchen changed to play on the flank, and took advantage of the cover of the two to get a chance on the other side of the three-point line. He had a strong desire to attack now, and the Blazers were a little unable to react, and their marking on him was obviously not in place.

"Crack!" Seth Curry passed the ball, and Yunchen took the ball without looking at whether his feet were beyond the three-point line, and shot directly.

"Shua!" The movement was as quick as ever, but it was still the same, and the shot felt very bad.

"Crack!" Still hitting the iron, Yunchen made 5 of 0 shots.

As if bewitched, no matter how big the open space is, Yun Chen can't seem to score, and the ball is too wide.

However, his mentality has improved a lot, and he is still actively defending.

The Blazers made an outside Napier shot and missed the shot, but Nurkic got an offensive rebound and made an inside pass to Neswanigan for a dunk. 33-22.

For the first time, the difference between the two sides came to more than 10 points.

After Yun Chen came up, the Cavaliers' offensive effect was not very good.

But so what?Now he is not affected by these at all, and he still runs and shoots as always.

Therefore, in the next six attacks of the Cavaliers, Yunchen shot 4 times by himself, three three-pointers and one mid-range two-pointer.

But without exception, all strike iron.

Fortunately, the other two shooting opportunities Korver and Seth Curry scored all of them very competitively, and the score was not widened.

At this time, Yunchen was already 9 for 0. This game can be said to be the worst game he has played in his career so far, with no rhythm.

However, he is still running and actively looking for open opportunities.

At this time, even the Blazers players didn't seem to care about him anymore. When Yunchen was about to take the tenth shot, he turned around and found that there was no defender by his side, and Seth Curry was followed by two people. .

One of the biggest humiliations on the basketball court should be empty shots, right?That shows that the other party doesn't take you seriously at all.

"Is this, looking down on me?" This time, Yun Chen was a little surprised, it was really the first time he was treated like this.

Even in the first game of his career, he was never treated like this.

"Huh——" He took another long breath, and for the tenth shot, he adjusted back and forth for about ten seconds, but no one on the other side came to guard him.

Immediately, he pressed his arms and wrists, the movement was still as fast as before, and he shot a three-pointer!

"Wow!" This shot may be because the adjustment time is really long enough, so the feeling is much better than before.

The feeling of shooting... seems to be much better than the previous few times, and the arc of the ball finally did not appear outrageous deviation.

On the Trail Blazers side, the mouths of the players who gave up defending Yunchen gradually opened up as the ball moved.

"No way……"
