basketball dreams

Chapter 65
The screams and cheers of the fans at the scene once again drowned out everyone, even the players on the court. Yun Chen's dunk was very beautiful. Not surprisingly, he will have a place in today's top ten shots.

Lillard's face was so ugly at this time, he even felt like he was being played.

In the league, players who can shoot and shoot are the most difficult to defend. After all, they have too many offensive options.

Although Yunchen's breakthrough ability is not strong, his super fast speed is enough to give the Blazers a headache. How to recover Yunchen's defensive state has become their number one problem now.

So next, Stotts implemented a double-team to save face.

Knowing that Yun Chen was not good at physical confrontation, he sent Evan Turner and Swanigan to watch him closely.

Evan Turner is fast and flexible, while Swanigan has height.The two looked at Yun Chen, one horizontal and one vertical.

So when he came up, Yunchen was very uncomfortable. After getting the ball, he almost couldn't get the ball. In the end, he could only gamble and pass the ball to his teammates for them to play.

But the inside line is not Love after all. The singles success rate of Nance Jr. and Zizic is not high, and the outside line is also regarded as deadly. The shortcomings of Seth Curry and Korver's poor confrontation are also exposed. The attack stalled.

But if this can really restrain Yunchen, then Yunchen is really too good.

Immediately, after three consecutive offensive rounds without scoring, Yunchen whispered in the ears of each teammate, making them change their style of play.

The Trail Blazers opened up the point difference by another 3 points, and the Cavaliers attacked.

This time, the Cavaliers no longer had Seth Curry holding the ball at the top of the arc, but directly handed it over to Yunchen, who let Yunchen hold the ball and play singles at the top of the arc.

This seemed to be in the hands of the Blazers, they were afraid that they wouldn't be able to get the ball to Yunchen.

However, at this time, the Cavaliers once again made an astonishing move. The two big towers on the inside gave up on the inside. Just like their previous tactic, everyone was squeezed near the three-point line.

Seth Curry and Korver also ran out of position in the bottom corner.

In terms of shooting, the threat of these two men was no weaker than that of Yun Chen, so the Blazers immediately gave up the defensive tactic of double-teaming, and instead everyone spread out to mark the people in their positions.

But at this time, the originally expected script of Yun Chen passing the ball to the two people in the bottom corner did not happen.

Instead, Yun Chen suddenly tricked his opponent, Evan Turner, with a false shot, and then chose to break through to the inside!

Because the inside line was drawn out just now, the entire restricted area and even the mid-range area are now empty, and Yun Chen's speed is extremely fast, rushing in without any pause and a dunk!
Lillard stood on the outside line and watched Yun Chen dunk, and couldn't help sighing with his hands on his hips.

He seemed to suddenly understand a truth, unless your individual defensive ability is as top-notch and sophisticated as Wade, otherwise it is almost impossible to restrict Li Yunchen from scoring.

But sighing, he was inexplicably excited. If he could really persuade Yun Chen to join them, what kind of perfect picture would it be?
Next, the two sides entered a confrontational battle. The Cavaliers had nothing to do with Lillard and McCollum in the backcourt, while the Blazers were also helpless against Yunchen's complex and changeable style of play.

So during this period of time, the offensive efficiency of both sides was surprisingly high. When there were 4 minutes and 20 seconds left in the second quarter, the scores of both sides broke the 50 mark.

56-51, the Blazers lead by five points.

The game entered a timeout, and this timeout was called by Stotts.

Yunchen didn't succeed in narrowing the point difference. He couldn't find a way to limit Lillard and McCollum, and he also understood that unless these two people couldn't shoot correctly, it would be impossible to prevent them.

Therefore, he is still very satisfied with the current situation, at least he did not let the opponent get the rhythm.

And one thing is certain, that is, the Cavaliers successfully used the bench lineup to consume the opponent's main players.

During this timeout, Yun Chen, who had been playing for a long time, was finally replaced. The starters also rested, and Love led Hill and others onto the field.

The Blazers on the opposite side were a little embarrassed at this time. Lillard and McCollum played too early, and their physical strength had been consumed a lot at this time.

But the opposing star returned to the court.

So in the remaining game time of the second quarter, Love became the key figure to break the deadlock between the two sides.

Without the outside threats of Lillard and McCollum, Love's pressure on the inside dropped instantly, and he frequently got single-handed opportunities, almost blowing up their inside by himself.

Soon, the first half of the game ended, and the Cavaliers finally chased the score back.

60-65, the Cavaliers lead by 5 points, which is the first time they have taken the lead since the opening of the game.

Players from both sides returned to the locker room.

Yun Chen covered her head with a towel, and followed her teammates step by step towards the player tunnel.In the first half, with his excellent performance in the second quarter, he scored 13 points and 5 assists, so when he walked back, there were constant audiences on the sidelines wanting to high-five him.

He didn't put on airs either, and was very friendly and took care of as many fans as possible.

However, when he was about to enter the player tunnel at the end, he saw a familiar figure among the many fans.

Lu Qingyan, she was actually sitting in the auditorium, looking at Yun Chen with wide eyes.

It seemed that she realized that Yunchen had spotted her, so a smile appeared on her face immediately.

"..."

It was like someone threw a stone on a very calm water, causing ripples, and Yun Chen's heart was immediately confused by her smile.

Her smile was still so beautiful, just like the first time she saw her, it was so beautiful that Yun Chen couldn't believe it.

But when he thought about what happened that day, he felt a basin of cold water poured on his head again.

Therefore, he returned an awkward smile with a very complicated mood, and then walked into the player tunnel with a dull head.

Yunchen didn't remember what Tai Lunlu said during the intermission. From the beginning to the end, only Lu Qingyan was in his mind, and he couldn't get rid of it.

The second half started when Yun Chen was very inattentive.

When he was leaving the player tunnel, he looked in Lu Qingyan's direction again, but unfortunately, she was not there this time.

The game continues.

In the second half, the starters of both sides returned to the court, and the game seemed to return to the way it was in the first quarter.

It's just that Yun Chen has regained his touch in this section.

At the beginning, the two sides refused to give in to each other. The Cavaliers scored frequently from the inside, while the Blazers relied on the strong personal ability of the two guns to continue to cause damage from the outside.

In the third quarter, whoever grasps the rhythm is the winner. Both sides understand this truth.

Therefore, this kind of confrontation lasted for nearly 8 minutes, and the offensive rhythm of both sides slowed down until the two sides returned to the bench exhausted again.

In this quarter, no one took advantage. When the whistle sounded at the end of the quarter, the score of the two sides came to 84-87, and the Cavaliers led by 3 points.

This is destined to be a high-scoring game.At this time, Yunchen has scored 18 points, 7 assists and 7 rebounds.

If he works harder in the fourth quarter, he is likely to get the first triple-double of his career.

However, sitting on the bench at this time, he seemed a little distracted, and kept turning his head to look at the audience behind him.

"What are you looking at, Li, you're almost triple-doubled, why do you feel like you're not emotional at all?" Nance who was beside him came over and patted Yun Chen.

Yun Chen's eyes kept falling on the spectators near the players' tunnel, so he was taken aback by this slap.

"Oh, brother, you scared me." He punched Nance angrily.

"What are you looking at? You have been absent-minded since the end of the game." Nance looked at Yun Chen. The fourth quarter will be the decisive moment. He doesn't want to see Yun Chen's inattention happen.

"No...it's nothing." Yun Chen hastily concealed it.
