Chapter 7: The Top of the Las Vegas Arena

Before you know it, a wave of six consecutive wins has brought Philadelphia to the finals of the Las Vegas Summer League. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The opponent is the former king of the league - the Los Angeles Lakers.

The former "Magician", "Sky Hook", "Postman", "Mr. Key", "OK Combination", "Gabai Twin Towers", "Gamo Twin Towers", "Big Four", and "Black Mamba" have created one miracle after another, one glory after another.

But today's Lakers, because of several team mistakes and the retirement and transfer of old players, most of the remaining members of the team are new blood.

In successive drafts, the Lakers have picked a high pick. As a result, they are also one of the few teams in the league with a very good future.

Ye Lunyu didn't worry too much before the game, and he and his teammates have run in very well after six games. He believes they can already play great team basketball.

Ye Lunyu performed amazingly in this series of games. He averaged 26.8 points, 4.5 rebounds, 6.6 assists and 2.2 steals per game. Amazing statistics and ungodly performance have made Ye Lunyu the focus of the media and a big star throughout the Las Vegas Summer League.

Ye Lunyu's personal value has also increased significantly, and he has not yet experienced the baptism of the NBA league, and he has been hailed as "the most potential guard in this year's draft". But at the same time, criticism is also coming in a steady stream, many people think that this is just one-sided, Ye Lunyu does not have good athletic talent, does not have good physical fitness, such conditions, no matter how you look at it, you can't become a qualified star.

Ye Lunyu can no longer pay attention to so much public opinion, he can only concentrate on the duel on the court now.

……

The day before the final.

The 76ers are training together.

Ye Lunyu's agent Morse made a phone call to the 76ers coach at this time, and Ye Lunyu may miss the next game because of fever.

This news was like five thunderbolts in the sky, knocking over the entire 76ers.

But before the finals, their core, Ye Lunyu, was sick.

When a team has no core, it's like a car without an engine or a clock without gears, and the whole system won't work.

There was also such an incident at the 2016 NBA Finals. In Game 5 between the Warriors and the Cavaliers, a foul by Warriors core Draymond Green resulted in him being suspended for Game 6. In the sixth game, the Warriors without Green played lifelessly, resulting in the whole game being completely pressed by the Cavaliers, and the whole game ended in failure. made the Cavaliers fight more and more bravely, and at the same time, the miracle of the first 1-3 reversal of the Finals in NBA history was born.

Ye Lunyu told the team that his head hurts very much, and his snot does not stop, no matter how you look at it, he is not suitable for the next game.

But after all, it's only the Las Vegas Summer League, and winning or losing doesn't play a decisive role for Philadelphia.

The coach also said that let Ye Lunyu recuperate by himself, and there is no need to worry about the team's last battle. His teammates also said that they would play their best and win in the end, so he just had to recuperate.

Ye Lunyu didn't care too much about this game, but there was still a trace of regret in his heart.

……

The stadium was crowded with people, and the attendance rate was almost 100%.

After all, for a few dollars of tickets, you can see half an NBA-level game, so why not the audience?

Ye Lunyu also appeared in the stadium, but he did not participate in training, and Ye Lunyu's name was also on the list of players.

When the Lakers coach saw it, he only shouted: "Damn, it's smoke bombs again!" "Because before the game, the 76ers had already announced the fact that Ye Lunyu was sick.

In the NBA, it is not uncommon to release smoke bombs, which is a way of intrigue between teams, and it is a kind of fraud to deceive the opposing team into changing tactics.

But in fact, the smoke bomb was also fake, Ye Lunyu was not sure to participate in this game, and his plan was only not to participate in this game.

This is a smoke grenade within a smoke grenade.

On the Philadelphia side, Simmons is looking forward to this game even more. He aspired to be the leader of the team, but when he was a sophomore, he killed a "Cheng Biting Gold" - Ye Lunyu. After Ye Lunyu joined Philadelphia, the stars were full of stars, and he stole the limelight at once. Simmons is certainly indignant, and he's desperate to put on a good performance to prove it to the media and fans and put him back in the spotlight for Philadelphia.

It is worth mentioning that after Ye Lunyu joined Philadelphia, the ratings of Philadelphia's TV basketball programs have risen all the way, and even entered the top five in the United States. He is already a hero in China, once "Rocket Mania" and "Yao Ming Complex", but now it has become "Philadelphia Mania" and "Analects Plot", ("Analects" is a nickname given to Ye Lunyu by Chinese fans).

The Lakers coach was forced to change his tactics again before the game, and they formulated two tactics, one of which was against Ye Lunyu.

Ye Lunyu was not on the list, and Ye Lunyu was not on the list in the starting list of players before the game.

There was a false alarm, and the big stone in the heart of the Lakers coach fell to the ground.

In the opening game, the young and strong Lakers guys launched a beastly attack. Running and shooting, breaking through, again and again, they used their bodies in exchange for scoring again and again.

Philadelphia, on the other hand, fought calmly, like a battle-hardened army, with strict and awe-inspiring military discipline.

But playing too calmly is not necessarily a good thing. Philadelphia insisted on playing positional battles, but the energetic Lakers guys defended very closely, and the inexperienced Philadelphia youngsters inevitably struggled to play with such a watertight defense.

The Lakers' defensive focus now falls on Ben Simmons, a top pick who looks helpless under the careful defense of the Lakers players.

Ben Simmons' dumb fire caused problems for the entire team.

The 76ers' offense is becoming more and more difficult, while the Lakers guys are still maintaining an efficient offense.

Under tremendous defensive pressure, Philadelphia trailed the Los Angeles Lakers 16-25 in the first quarter.

The Philadelphia coach didn't pay much attention to it, after all, he firmly believed that this kind of hungry wolf style of play would not always work.

He briefly set up the tactics for the players, and then let the players go into battle.

He was sure that the Philadelphia guy would surprise him.

In the second quarter, Los Angeles confirmed that Ye Lunyu would not play, and his style suddenly changed and he started a positional battle!

Los Angeles were on a solid footing, with the team's rookie Sayre Rajlan Kante killing all sides on the inside. With a height of 2.18 meters, he is already unstoppable on the inside line of Philadelphia.

On the Philadelphia side, players who couldn't blossom more and weren't in good form relied on just a few three-pointers and free throws to score meas.

Holding on, that's all Philadelphia can do at the moment.

The efficient output of the inside line on the Los Angeles side allowed Los Angeles to continue to expand the score. At halftime, 39-58, Philadelphia lost to Los Angeles by 19 points.

The trend of this game is basically clear - a big win in Los Angeles and a big defeat for Philadelphia.

Giving players free rein may be a miracle, Bret Brown can only think so.

But the players in Philadelphia have no bottom in their hearts, after all, they can't turn back the current situation.

Ye Lunyu was also anxious on the sidelines, how could he play like this! His whole body was stirring. How he wants to help the team, he's a guy who has a very strong desire to fight.

But he had no injuries on his body, and he was powerless to return to the sky.

……

After a short intermission, the battle resumed.

In the second half, the Philadelphia boys fought with their backs and played a little more freely. This has worked out very well.

But Los Angeles hasn't let up either, and anything is possible on the basketball court. They know that five minutes of slack can be a leveliser.

You chase me, and the two sides played white-hot in the early part of the third quarter. Still trailing by 15 points, Philadelphia struggled to catch up.

Ye Lunyu, who was on the sidelines, couldn't stand it anymore, he walked to the coach and said, "Coach, I want to play!" ”

"You're going to play?!" The coach said in surprise.

"Yes!" Ye Lunyu said.

"But you're still sick!" The coach said.

"It doesn't matter, for the sake of the team's victory, this little cold is nothing." Ye Lunyu said.

……

After a tedious conversation, the coach agreed.

With two minutes left in the third quarter, Ye Lunyu came on.

His play also frightened the Los Angeles side. But it only lasted a few seconds, after all, they had a 16-point lead.

Ye Lunyu came on the court, and the team improved significantly, and in the last two minutes, they pulled back seven points and successfully narrowed the difference to single digits.

Before the start of the fourth quarter, the coach did not agree to Ye Lunyu to play again. But Ye Lunyu insisted on continuing to fight.

"You've completed your mission, it's time to rest." The coach said.

"No, I'm going to win!" Ye Lunyu said firmly.

"But ......" Before the coach finished speaking, Ye Lunyu hurried on.

"This kid ......," Brett Brown shook his head.

The 76ers in the fourth quarter were menacing. As soon as he got on the court, the offense was like a dragon in the sea, killing the Lakers in a daze.

In a moment, Philadelphia overtook the score.

In fact, Philadelphia's overtake was not due to Ye Lunyu's play, but after Ye Lunyu's play, the hearts of Philadelphia players suddenly cheered up, and their morale was raised, and they naturally won.

And the Lakers are getting heavier and heavier, without the courage of the first half.

As soon as Brett Brown saw it, he immediately replaced Ye Lunyu, because victory was in sight.

Although the Lakers later fought back, the Philadelphia boys still suppressed Los Angeles with morale.

Not surprisingly, the championship fell into the hands of Philadelphia.

The coach asked Ye Lunyu to lift the trophy highly......
