Chapter 200 199: It's okay for a man to be childish once in a while(1/2)
Chapter 200 199: It shouldn’t matter if a man is naive sometimes, right?
Amid the floods of cheers from the Los Angeles fans, the Spurs' humiliating game ended.
101 to 84, the Lakers won at home with a huge advantage and took the lead in the Western Conference semifinals!
Ever since Shea led his team to a 12-0 run in the first quarter, the Spurs were exhausted throughout the game.
The Spurs originally had great ambitions to be a strong 1, but in the end, they were pushed to the ground and forced to become a small 0!
Spurs coach John Lucas was as stunned as a wooden stake after the game.
He was beaten silly.
The second-year coach has played in the NBA for 14 years and thinks there is nothing he has not seen before.
but.
The Lakers' defense made him feel unprecedented despair!
Confrontation, defense switching, double teaming, pressing, stealing the ball, counterattack.
In fact, this kind of aggressive defense is not new, and many teams are using it.
But under normal circumstances, this kind of defense can only last a few rounds.
After all, this kind of defensive method has extremely high requirements on the defensive enthusiasm of the players and the team's tacit understanding of the entire defensive change.
He only scored 2 sports goals in the last game, but today he scored 8 goals and scored 16 points.
Most people didn't expect the Lakers to mistreat the Spurs like this.
When the first quarter was blocked by an airtight rotation of defense, John Lucas was lucky enough to think that this kind of defense would not last long.
"Shay, come with me! It's time for the press conference!"
It really all depends on the support of my peers.
Is the scoring title more about scoring or thicker lips?
The playoffs get tougher and tougher.
Shay's enthusiasm also inspired the enthusiasm of others.
Of course, Logo was also keenly aware of Fliggy's displeasure.
The truth turned out to be even crueler!
25 points? That’s already a way of saving face for the general!
What makes Spurs fans most desperate is not the Lakers' defensive system, but Shea!
The scoring champion? He's just a 10-pointer in front of Shay!"
It’s clear who the real superstar is!
Shay scored 32 points in the game, exactly 8 points in one quarter!
So during the interview, Shay also teased Rodman:
"You may have heard it wrong. Dennis may have meant that he was able to prevent me from averaging 8 points in a single game and one quarter!"
Congratulations to him, he succeeded, after all he didn't let me score 40 points."
Barkley is looking forward to this. It doesn't matter if he scores low. Shea also scored lower than him last season, but it's not the same as being an MVP.
In the shower cubicle, Feizhu turned on the faucet, and there was a "swishing" sound of water all around.
His mid-range and face-up style of play was not popular in the playoffs in the 1990s. This is a fact.
Shay was also labeled a "real superstar" because his performance far exceeded that of the regular season.
But it took a full 21 shots to do this!
The shooting rate of 38.1% is indeed decent compared to the 14.3% in the previous game, but it is not much better.
He took out a small cake from inside: "Congratulations, my good brother."
As soon as you dribble the ball past half court, you no longer want to hold the ball comfortably, you even have to worry about passing the ball.
The Lakers relied on this kind of pressing defense to force the Spurs to make a total of 19 turnovers!
He suddenly turned a team with the fewest mistakes into one of the teams with the most!
"Charles, me"
Fuck MVP!
What is humiliation and what is humiliation?
In the second game of the series, the Admiral's performance improved.
But it's just the difference between "pretty bad" and "bad".
So the Lakers' defense overturned the Spurs team, and the Spurs team's shooting percentage was only 31.8%!
In 1996, he played against the Jazz again, shooting 47.5% from the field and averaging 19.3 points per game.
If you look at the Spurs' statistics alone, you will see a player with a shooting percentage of about 20%!
On the locker door, there was a note with Shay's handwriting on it:
Bellucci, who didn't know much about basketball, couldn't even figure out why the general could be the scoring champion.
"Shay is undoubtedly the best DPOY candidate, his defensive ability is unparalleled in the world!
After playing the game, I discovered that the General’s scoring champion was the one who reaped the dividends from beating the weaker teams in the regular season!
So, don’t take it too seriously, okay?”
But remember not to play too long, we have to go to San Antonio tomorrow."
So the general who is the leading scorer only made 2 of 14 shots today!
I just managed to score 10 points with free throws!
He is the leading scorer, but he only scored two sports goals in the whole game. What the heck, football players may score more goals than him in a game!
Buckley couldn't help but smile when he saw all this.
Next to the cake, there is a brand new MVP trophy!
In fact, the General has a habit of losing weight in the playoffs. Many people think that the General was only defeated by the Dream in the 1995 playoffs and felt that losing to the Dream would not be a shame.
Spurs fans were really shocked. They didn't expect the general to have such a contrast.
Even O'Neal started to brag:
On the other hand, Shay averaged only 24 points per game in the regular season, but today he scored 32 points in one breath!
The comparison between Shay and the Admiral is really too damaging.
"Shay, you don't think I'm sad or angry, do you?
Damn, who doesn’t know that I’m the boss of the Lakers?
I don't need anything like MVP at all.
However, what is even more exaggerated is that the general's shooting percentage today is already very high among the Spurs!
The Spurs' second-leading scorer, Dale Ellis, shot 2 of 10 today, DeNagro shot 2 of 8, and Rodman made 1 of 4.
Shay was elected regular season MVP for the second consecutive year!
This naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of many fans. With Shea's defensive performance this season, even if he can't get DPOY, he is only fourth in the voting. This is too much!
But that's the way it is in this era, big men are more popular in voting for this award.
Throughout the game, Shea spent most of the time defending the general.
Shay also patted Fliggy on the shoulder: "Charles, we won 70 wins together. This is our MVP."
I know it's not your fault, no one wants to be associated with a damn injury.
Shay averaged 24.8 points, 13.2 assists, 3.3 rebounds, 2.9 steals and 1.2 blocks per game this season.
The scary thing about the Lakers is that they can repeat this kind of defense again and again, and they can maintain this kind of pressure for an entire quarter, an entire half, or even the entire game!
Unfortunately, after the final answer was revealed, the DPOY of this season was still awarded to Da Meng!
This is also the second consecutive year that Olajuwon has won the Best Defensive Player Award!
For comparison, Olajuwon shot 50% in 11 playoff games, O'Neal shot 16 times, and even the Gorillas with unhealthy offensive space also shot 50% 4 times.
I just want to say that you also have MVP-level strength, but you are just unlucky.
He is such a man who plays hard in foreplay, but becomes soft when it comes to live ammunition.
But in fact, the general was not only beaten miserably in that round of the playoffs, he was beaten most of the time!
In the original history of the Spurs VS Jazz in the first round of the 1994 playoffs, the general was limited to only 41.1% shooting and barely averaged 20 points per game.
Mainly because during the period when Flying Pigs was absent, Shay had to increase his shooting rights, so his scoring gradually increased.
Shay also sighed, but he believed that he would be able to win DPOY sooner or later!
