After changing careers, I became No.1 in basketball

Chapter 157 Chapter 156: Shay is the strongest defensive player?The Knicks can't beat us even a game!
He fell behind by 15 points before halftime, and was directly pierced by Shay.

Olajuwon now understands how his college teammates Shua and Shai felt after they finished playing.

It's a real shame to play with Shay!

Now, Shay's agent, Falk, finally knows why Shay often receives endorsement invitations from well-known sports protection brands.

With regard to Shay's "not a single drop" temperament on the defensive end, it's no wonder that he is so favored by sports protection brands.

Falk has always refused such endorsement invitations before.

But now it seems that this may really be a business opportunity!

After all, O'Neill has gone to endorse Luck Stick.
Make money, it's not shabby!
Shay has a talent in this area, so he must use it!

Now, Dameng has become a caged beast.

His powerful ability can't be played out in the tight flanking of the Lakers.

Although not 9 points in a single game, Dameng's efficiency today is indeed very low.

Throughout the game, Olajuwon felt that he was on tenterhooks.

You can imagine the feeling of holding the ball at the basket, but every time you get blocked by Shai or Barkley flying out of nowhere.

Every time you take a shot at the basket, your heart panics.

The Lakers don't have a super defensive center, but relying on the power of teamwork, they were able to contain both Dameng and the Rockets' shooters at the same time!
In this way, the game reached more than half of the fourth quarter.

The Rockets have fallen behind by 21 points, and there is basically no suspense in the game.

But Olajuwon is still unwilling to give up, he is still looking for scoring opportunities.

On this possession, Olajuwon and Thorpe played an off-ball screen, tried to get past Campbell and scored a mid-range jumper.

The inside pick-and-rolls are all used, and the Rockets have used everything to score.

But Shay still didn't give Dameng a chance to score easily. After Campbell was blocked, Shay immediately switched up and stuck behind Dameng.

Da dreamed of this situation and sat with his back on Xie Yi.

All the fans stood up excitedly, Olajuwon and Shay are going to play one-on-one in the low post!

The fifth position plays the first position. It stands to reason that this wave of Tang Shuai can confidently shout: I have the advantage!

This should have been a big misplacement without suspense.

Although in basketball in the 21s and 10s of the 20st century, it often happened that the center couldn't stand the guard.

But in the savage 90s, this kind of thing was very rare.

Dameng also held his breath at this time, having been tortured by Xie Yi for a whole round, it is time to vent his anger now.

Although I know that the current 2 points and 2 points are chiseled, the effect of chasing points is not great anymore.

But Olajuwon must at least save some face.

There's no way I can't beat Shay, can I?
Olajuwon then sat back hard, hoping to advance to the basket.

But an embarrassing thing happened. Olajuwon leaned back suddenly, but he really failed to impress Shay!
Don't look at Dameng as a technical center, but in fact he is not bad.

Even if Xie Yi has a strength attribute of 86, it is actually difficult to hold on to the big dream.

But before, Shay got the badge of a "weird man" after all.

Slightly increases Shay's strength attribute when defending backs.

After tormenting the Queen for so long, it's another badge that can make a big difference off the basketball court.

Increase the power of back defense If this can be used outside the basketball court, don't talk about a girl in her twenties like Connery.

Even if Aunt Jenny, a seasoned back-to-back fighter, came, he would have to stick out his tongue and roll his eyes.

It's a pity that these badges are only useful on the basketball court and can only be used against men.

But it's good to make Olajuwon stick out his tongue and roll his eyes.

With the blessing of this badge, it is really not easy for Olajuwon to top Shay.

Unexpectedly failed to push Shay, Olajuwon was in a daze, but Shay had stretched out his long arms and put his hands around Olajuwon.

Then he slapped hard and cut the basketball in Dameng's hand!

So far, Shay has sent 4 steals and 3 blocks on the defensive end today.

And completed a single defense against Olajuwon!
This season's DPOY dream, being guarded by a defender is so painful!
"Shay also defended against Dameng alone, which is unbelievable!

Drexler's 9 points in a single game is not because he is too weak.

It's because Shay is really too strong! "

Amidst Marvin Albert's praise, Shay, after cutting off the ball, jumped forward and pushed the ball to Barkley.

Fliggy ran all the way, and finally succeeded in dunking Horry, widening the point difference to 23 points!
At this point, the game is basically over.

Chasing 23 points in more than half a quarter is impossible even for a big dream.

The entire Rockets are very desperate at this time, not only desperate for the result of this game, but also desperate for this round of the series.

Because from the current point of view, the Rockets have not cracked this defensive method.

Shai used his defensive ability to completely change the situation of the game.

At this time, no one dared to question Carlisle's change.

Even Gamble, who said before the game that Carlisle was too immature, changed his words:
"Coach Carlisle's strategy was brilliant and I admit, I underestimated the rookie manager too much.

I think the league owes Carlisle a Coach of the Year trophy.

Most coaches build a defensive system with the center as the core.

As for Coach Carlisle, he built a defensive system with Shay as the point guard as the core!

This is a groundbreaking feat!

Shay deserves to be the youngest MVP in history. His defensive ability is rare in history! "

Gambell was completely overwhelmed, and the Lakers' defense couldn't fault it.

At the same time, the Rockets fans were also convinced. At the end of the game, the Rockets lost 79 to 100.

Lost by 21 points.

奥拉朱旺依旧拿下了26分16个篮板的大号两双，但全场22投仅仅8中，命中率只有36.4%！

Fortunately, Dameng's free throws are too stable. Today, he made 11 of 10 free throws.

Otherwise, his score might not even reach 20!

Jordan's shooting percentage in the first two games was only 37%, which is ridiculously low.

As a center, Olajuwon's shooting percentage is less than 37%.

That speaks volumes about how strong Shai's defense was today.

It also further illustrates how outrageous Drexler's 9 points in a single game are.

A real superstar, no matter how low the hit rate is, can still score [-] or [-] points.

Drexler was fine, scoring single digits directly!

Although the slider man has been eliminated, his gold content of 9 points in a single game is still rising!

After the game, Marvin Albert also said with emotion:

"The best defensive player, defeated by a defense that is more terrible than himself!
Since the beginning of the 88-89 season, the best defensive player award has been dominated by inside players.

And now, Shay is very likely to break this deadlock!

Next season, he will definitely be a strong contender for the best defensive player!
MVP, Double Team, Best Defensive Player.
Unbelievable, we're talking about a second-year player! "

Shay, who scored 22 points, 13 assists, 4 steals and 3 blocks, was praised by the media.

Where can I find such a good man who can take care of both inside and outside.

At the press conference afterwards, Dameng also took the initiative to admit:

"This is the defense I've never seen in my career!"

Ewing: That's because you have less experience. This is the defense I have faced every day in my career!

Olajuwon's words give people a feeling that the big dream has been defeated.

After all, it's only a 1-1 tie. Shouldn't Olajuwon speak harshly at this time?
As a result, he said "never seen such a defense".

Olajuwon wasn't overwhelmed, but the Lakers' defense really impressed him today.

His words can be regarded as the greatest compliment to Shay.

Olajuwon, who can play tough, is dejected at the press conference. Not everyone has this ability.

For a while, Shay was now in addition to the title of "the youngest MVP in history".

There is also the title of "the strongest defensive player in history".

But any star who meets Shay will be embarrassed.

A big victory allowed Shai to continue to shine in the league.

At the same time, this game also made Tomjanovich think about a question:
Is the Rockets' policy of building a team with two towers really correct?

When the Rockets chose the big dream, many people were actually very surprised.

After all, the Rockets have already had the No. 83 pick in 2 and Ralph Sampson, who is 24 meters tall.

Sampson just won the Rookie of the Year award, scoring 21 points, 11.1 rebounds and 2.4 blocks in his freshman year.

As a result, while sitting on Sampson, the Rockets stunned and selected Olajuwon with the second consecutive No. [-] pick.

The reason is that the Rockets are extremely obsessed with the Twin Towers lineup.

At that time, the Rockets believed that the reason why the Celtics were so brilliant was because of the twin towers of McHale and the Chiefs.

Byrd?

He can play basketball ass, he's just beeping.

So the Rockets' tradition of twin towers has continued for many years. After Sampson left due to injuries, they found Thorpe.

But until now, the Rockets have not achieved too brilliant results relying on the Twin Towers.

Tomjanovich can't help but wonder what it would be like to swap Santhorpe for someone else, someone who doesn't have as much defensive and rebounding ability, but can shoot [-]s.
Is it possible to take advantage of the big dream more effectively? ?

Think about it, if Thorpe can shoot three-pointers, can Shay still pinch Olajuwon in time today?

No matter how fast Shay is and how wide the defensive range is, it is impossible for him to defend from the three-point line to the three-second zone in an instant.

Master Tang is thinking, this offseason, maybe it's time to make some changes to the lineup
When Tomjanovich was agonizing, so was Jordan.

It's already 0 to 2. If they can't win the third game, then this year will really be over.

Jordan also worked hard, preparing to fight a shocking turnaround like Shay.

As a result, in G3 of the series, Jordan really turned over.

But it's not turning over, it's completely turning over!
After the third game of the series, Bulls fans suddenly felt that Danzi's shooting percentage of 36% in the first two games was quite good.

Because today, Jordan's hit rate is only 16%!

He made 18 of 3 shots in the game, and the rim was almost not smashed by Jordan!
As expected of Jordan, you thought 36% shooting rate was his limit, but he easily surpassed the limit!

But fortunately, Pippen was a magic weapon today, scoring 12 points on 10 of 29 shots.

He took Jordan, who had a shooting percentage of only 16%, to win the life-and-death third game, turning the total score of the series into 1 to 2, retaining a glimmer of life.

Jordan tried his best, but the Knicks didn't live up to it.

Danzi went undercover to this extent and failed to win the match point. The Knicks really can't blame others.

Although the bull finally saved his life, Danzi's reputation continued to decline.

The gambling turmoil in Atlantic City is still brewing, and Jordan's 18-of-3 performance today makes all his defenses look weak.

After the game was over, Michael Jordan's thoughts became stronger.

He's really tired of the media talking, tired of the day-to-day game.

In the locker room, looking at the depressed Jordan, the Zen master Phil Jackson just threw a newspaper in front of Jordan.

This is a Los Angeles media newspaper that published the news that Shay locked up the big dream.

Shay locked up Dream and Jordan Martial Arts, but the headline of this news made Jordan very angry.

"Shay, No. 23 More Dominant Than Jordan."

Jordan gritted his teeth.

He crumbled the newspaper, threw it in the trash, and got up to leave the locker room.

Although he didn't say a word, the Zen master knew very well that the matter had already been done.

Michael Jordan may be tired, confused, and tired.

But his strong desire to win will never change!

Truth be told, Zen Master was grateful for Shay's presence.

Without Shay, God knows who else can stimulate Jordan's competitiveness.

Shay did not disappoint Zen Master either. In the third game of the series, the Lakers led by him won again!
The Rockets also changed their strategy in this battle. Tomjanovich let Olajuwon ask for the ball in a deeper position.

In this way, the moment he catches the ball, he can attack the frame immediately and avoid being interfered by Shay.

This trick did improve Dameng's offensive efficiency a lot, but it still didn't restore Dameng's offense to the point where the team could win.

Because Shay's been messing around the whole game!
He has been frantically testing the edge of illegal defense, keeping a close distance from Thorpe in order to defend the basket.

Shay is actually half of the zone defense, and this defensive position was taught to the Lakers by Thibodeau.

Thibodeau himself has a perverted look on his face, and he can tell at a glance that he is a master of fumbling.

Tomjanovich also complained to the referee many times for this.

But the referee didn't hear what was going on outside the window, and just wanted to watch the sidelines.

How to whistle for illegal defense depends entirely on the referee's wishes.

From the point of view of the referee, if Shai did not directly attack Olajuwon without the ball, it is not considered an illegal defense.

Ever since, although Olajuwon's shooting percentage rose to 47%, the Rockets still lost the game 87 to 98.

So far, Shay led the team to complete the reversal against the Rockets, leading the total score 2 to 1!

Defeating the Rockets in two consecutive games and preventing the dream of death made Tomjanovich's thoughts on changing the lineup more intense.

He knows that Olajuwon is capable of being the core of the championship, and he doesn't want Dameng's talent and talent to be wasted.

In order to maximize the ability of Dream, the team must seek change!

The Lakers led 2-1 and won both games so easily.

This has caused many media to put the Lakers in the finals in advance.

At this time, most people think that the finals will be the Lakers VS Knicks.

These two teams, who are good at torturing people, will start a mutual torture mode.

It's just that the outside world generally believes that there is a high probability that the Lakers will have to pay tuition again.

They really can't win this year's finals.

The Knicks' defense is historically strong, even widening the qualitative gap with the Sonics, which ranks second in defensive efficiency.

The Knicks have lost points in 2 rounds this season, pulling away the No.5.2 SuperSonics by a full [-] points. What is this concept?

The gap between the Knicks and the Supersonics is equivalent to the gap between the Supersonics and the No. 20 Bucks in the league!

To put it bluntly, the Knicks' defense this season is the only one.

Even Jordan can't handle the Knicks, and neither can Shai and Barkley.

During the regular season, the Lakers failed to challenge the Knicks twice, which is the best evidence.

Carlisle has also been studying the Knicks ahead of time, even if he must admit that the Knicks' defense is quite a headache.

In terms of torture, the Lakers are just getting started.

But Pat Riley's Knicks are already high-flying.

After Riley was kicked out by the Lakers management, he led a new team to avenge the Lakers. This kind of drama is also loved by the media and fans.

The Knicks were promoted to the highest point, and even the Lakers, who were in the limelight, were overwhelmed.

In street interviews, many Knicks fans also said excitedly:
"I can't wait to see how Shay is tortured."

"The Lakers' defense is nothing compared to the Knicks."

"Shai may be the best defensive player, but the best defensive team has to be the Knicks!"

"I bet Shay's going to cry at Madison Square Garden!"

And Sam Smith, who was dissatisfied with Shay's MVP before, also clamored in his column:
"All the results that Shay is playing now will eventually become the Knicks' spoils!"

Faced with such public opinion, Shay just smiled when he was interviewed:

"Bet or not? We can't be beaten by the Knicks. We can't even lose a game."

Shea's remarks caused an uproar.

This young young master of Los Angeles really speaks loudly!

Do you know what you're talking about?

Jordan is beaten up by the Knicks now. You say that the Lakers can win the series, but you actually say that the Lakers will not lose a game to the Knicks?
The media reported Shay's remarks one after another, and commented that he was really floating.

Except for Los Angeles, all the ugly media are waiting to see Shai slap himself in the finals.

But Shay was not worried. He knew that he would definitely not pretend to beep and overturn the car.

because
Sure enough, that night, just before the start of Game [-] between the Bulls and the Knicks, Shai received a call.

From Michael Jordan!

"Shay?"

Shay was embarrassed when he got the call because his little brother was being held hostage by Connery.

"Come on, Mike, I still have several hundred million business here!"

"Okay, you're starting to get impatient talking to me now.

It doesn't matter, I just want to tell you.

Clean your ass and wait for me in the finals!
You can rest assured Shay, I will not let you be defeated by the Knicks.

Because I will personally send you on the road! "

After that, Danzi hung up the phone.

Shay smiled. Although Shay and the orangutan captain have a better personal relationship, he really doesn't think the Knicks can change history and reach the finals.

The Knicks can't make it to the finals at all, and the Lakers will naturally not lose to them.

If Shay remembers correctly, the next G4 of the Eastern Conference Finals will be the strongest battle of Michael Jordan's career!
Say what you want about the Knicks, but they can't win!
When the whole world was ready to watch Shai and Jordan overturn, on May 5, a game that shocked the world was born.

Under the stimulation of Shay, Michael Jordan turned into the ultimate weapon in the basketball world.

And in the Chicago Stadium, the holy light of God will be fully bloomed!
