Chapter 209 208: A meat grinder-like series, Shay can’t stop even a vicious foul! (Please give me a guaranteed monthly ticket!)

The Lakers won the first game of the Finals relatively easily, but unlike what they expected, Knicks fans and the media didn't seem to care.

Still tough-talking.

Even though Ewing's shooting percentage was less than 40%, even though Starks was so unstoppable that he even looked like a Los Angeles star.

But New York fans seem to have become accustomed to the Knicks' shooting games with this kind of shooting rate!

Shea was also convinced. This was the first time he saw the media and fans being so arrogant when they were behind by a big score.

Spike Lee said, "The Lakers are nothing more than that", which seemed to be saying, "If you have the guts, just work harder and destroy the Knicks completely!"

You are so happy watching your team being abused, the New Yorkers and Minotaurs?

But soon, Shea knew why Knicks fans were not nervous at all when facing a 1-0 deficit.

Because this Knicks team is indeed quite resilient.

Moreover, when their offense improved slightly.

Only then will you discover the true horror of this Knicks!

In G2 of the series, Lakers fans are looking forward to the team winning a total score of 2-0.

As long as they return to normal in the next game, the Lakers will have no chance of winning!

After four games, the situation is like this. The Lakers can only win when the Knicks are not feeling good. There is no way to defeat the Knicks on a tactical level.

Derek Harper even more efficiently scored 18 points with a 63.6% shooting rate.

But if we surrender mentally and give up first, we may not even be able to perform at 10% later!

It's not over yet, we still have half a game left!

Just now, Axel's three-pointer can no longer be described as a difficult goal.

Starks used a quick change of direction to pass Shay, and then broke through toward the wing.

Madman made 4 of 12, Robinson 1 of 6, McMillan 1 of 7, Sam Perkins 2 of 8

Except for Shea, Barkley and Madman, the other players basically only scored one or two sports goals in a game!

The Knicks' muscle confrontation was extremely fierce, and the Lakers' overall shooting percentage was only 39%!

Although he passed the ball, Shea did not let go of New York's No. 3 who was hot in the first half.

Skettis was talking trash while watching his teammates' movements.

He didn't do it accidentally, he used force on purpose!

He was indeed too angry. The two sides were already very angry, and now they were still 16 points behind at halftime. No one felt comfortable.

And he thought, Shay was just bluffing, he didn't dare to really attack the basket.

When little Anthony Mason saw that he was being hugged directly by the madman, he angrily raised his elbow and cut it directly on the madman's forehead.

Starks' veins popped out. He was already very angry after being elbowed and forcefully eaten by Gaia's energy cannon.

So under Shay's provocation, Starks actually chose to play singles!

"Fuck!" Riley cursed secretly. The irritable Starks fell into Shay's trap!

Because he was pressed too tightly, he had no room to take action, and the second quarter was about to end.

Starks took possession of the ball past halftime and found that the person guarding him was no longer McMillan, but Shea!

Shea also appeared immediately and grabbed Oakley's jersey to separate him.

Because Barkley was pulled to the bottom corner, Oakley had to be ready to dive out at any time to interfere with the Flying Pigs' three-pointer.

Shea, you're responsible for guarding Starks in the second half.

What's even worse is that Van Exel on the bench also started to smoke, scoring 16 points on 5-of-8 shots in just 23 minutes!

And Oakley also grabbed 20 rebounds. He and Ewing combined for 35 rebounds today!

For comparison, the Lakers only had 33 rebounds!

Because the Lakers are a team that advocates quick play, they usually only leave Barkley and Robinson behind when it comes to fighting for defensive rebounds.

Facing the iron elbow swung by Barkley, he refused to give in.

You want to call a foul? That's fine.

You have awesome strength, I can easily torture you!

By the way, the foul you just committed was softer than any broadcast I've ever played!"

Starks smiled. He had never been afraid of anything. Instead of being timid when he saw Shay, he even became excited.

As for the Knicks, in addition to Ewing, Starks and Harper once again played extremely efficiently.

I am the victim, why are you yelling at me!?

It is the most uneconomical thing to score a goal after committing a foul!

Spike Lee was a little frightened by Shay's eyes. He was really afraid that Shay would rush up and give him a good beating.

New Yorkers cheered. The Knicks, who had a mediocre offense, could beat the Lakers, but the Knicks, who had a completely open offense, couldn't just take off!

And because the Knicks are a defensive team, there is no way the Lakers can beat the Knicks 16-0!

At this time, Riley felt a little scared.

"Come on, put one on my head.

The referee was in vain, and in the end, the coaching staff of both teams came to start a fight, and then they were barely able to separate the two.

Now, even such a person is gone. So in the home battle at Tianwangshan, the New Yorkers are determined to win!

The day after the game, Pat Riley, who had lost, started to practice the closed practice before the big war, hoping to win Tianwang Mountain.

Starks complained about Barkley in an interview: "He is just a fake tough guy who only pretends to be tough. Who would be afraid of his elbow? Do you think I have ever taken a step back?"

How long has it been since we saw Shai and Barkley score 30 points?

Barkley made 5 of 15 shots and almost vomited while eating hot pot.

Starks gritted his teeth. Why was Shea, who was 16 points behind, still so rampant?

The Lakers only scored 40 points in the entire first half.

Players from both sides were also yelling at each other, as if they wanted to tear each other into pieces.

But in recent games, everyone has been too angry. Shea also admitted that the incident just now had some personal grudges involved.

However, the Knicks were very defensive and the entire Lakers team had no good chance to catch the ball.

In the third quarter of the game, Barkley finally grabbed a rebound and was about to pass the ball, but Starks immediately got in front of the Flying Pigs to interfere.

After replacing Axel, I thought the Knicks' offensive firepower would weaken.

He doesn't care if an elbow hits the head, and it's even less likely that a ball hits the head.

"Xie Yi thinks of the situation, and quickly commits a serious foul to make him be honest!"

Shea went inside again, but still didn't pass the ball.

Then he stretched out his long arms and destroyed the pass!

However, because he was too hasty, Shay failed to catch the ball directly and instead pushed the ball out of bounds.

He jumped up and hit Mason's neck with a flying kick.

So Shay immediately pulled the ball to the right and passed Starks cleanly!

In the end, the New York police came forward to build a human wall at the midfield line, which ended the conflict between the two teams.

It is a huge blow for any team to lose a player who can be in both the best team and the defensive team!

Although the Madman's shooting percentage in these games is not high, at least he is the only one in the Lakers team besides Shea and Barkley who does not only score one or two goals in a game.

Shay said this because he wanted to strengthen everyone's will.

The Lakers finally pulled one back at Madison Square Garden, with the total score becoming 2-2.

McMillan and the Madmen were not lax in their defense against Harper and Starks today, but they were able to score against the defense.

Starks only felt his head "bump" as three shadow clones of Shay seemed to appear in front of him!

The basketball hit Starks on the head and bounced out of bounds. The Lakers had the ball!

Just like that, Barkley actually hit Starks on the head with his elbow, knocking him to the ground on the spot.

So Crazy Fan thought of a good way to get rid of the defensive shooting.

But no matter how much he twitches, only the touch will increase, and Starks' dribbling ability will not become stronger.

Instead, he just went crazy!

Ewing and Oakley both committed three fouls in the first half.

Sprewell and Anthony Mason Jr., who came on the bench, hugged each other and fought fiercely for positions.
