Chapter 315 314: Exploding AI, Shay’s last piece of the puzzle
How good was Allen Iverson in the 1999 season?
Before the season, ESPN magazine selected Duncan, Kobe and AI for the cover, and the title of that issue was "The Next Ruler of the League"!
From this, it is not difficult to see the outside world's expectations for AI. After all, on this cover, there is one who was at full level when he entered the league, and there is another who is young and has great potential.
Only AI, despite its official height of 1.83 meters, managed to squeeze into the discussion of "alliance ruler".
After the start of this season, AI has lived up to people's expectations for him.
In March, AI won the Player of the Month for the first month of his career.
That month, in the highlight match between the 76ers and the Spurs, Garnett was beating his chest and roaring before the game.
There was no doubt that he was taken advantage of by the Spurs' expressive No. 21.
Last season, Garnett and Duncan played against each other twice.
But Garnett was not too impressed by Duncan because Duncan's moves were too plain and simple.
My only impression is that Duncan looks stupid and not very smart.
Therefore, Garnett is full of confidence when they meet again this time.
While warming up before the game, Garnett saw a scene that made people laugh and cry.
At that time, Duncan didn't know why he suddenly entered standby mode under the basket and stood blankly.
At this time, Spurs guard "Little General" Avery Johnson happened to pass the ball to Duncan.
As a result, Duncan, who was in a daze, did not react at all to the basketball flying toward him. He didn't even block it, and was just hit in the face by the basketball, like an imbecile.
Garnett laughed at that time. Now people like this can get a degree in college? If I had known, I would have gone to college too!
How can such an idiot compare to the handsome and tough me?
As a result, after the game started, the idiot seemed to be completely transformed.
He is extremely smart on the court, flexible in movement, and has a keen sense of defense.
The feeling given to Garnett is that that guy almost never makes mistakes!
Moreover, although his moves are simple and unpretentious, if you look at the data table, you will find that he has already scored a lot of points!
Garnett was beaten by Duncan throughout the game, and the Spurs' twin towers completely suppressed the 76ers' strong defensive inside line.
Coupled with Pippen's blocking of the perimeter, the 76ers trailed the Spurs by 15 points at the end of the third quarter.
Just when Garnett could only show his toughness by beating his chest, just when Philadelphia fans were desperate.
The man whose actual height was less than 1.8 meters stood up.
His shooting is extremely accurate. Now in this history, AI no longer has the problem of insufficient shooting stability. After all, he has recognized a good father in this history.
And when Pippen started to defend the AI personally, that was the beginning of the crazy performance!
Iverson used all kinds of fancy and handsome moves to turn Pippen into a bus - he could get on as many times as he wanted!
In fact, people have discovered that many breakthroughs in AI ultimately go to Pippen's left hand.
But there is also a saying circulating in the NBA today:
"You know the AI is going to your left, but you still can't stop it!"
Pippen was also miserable. In the original history, he had to serve Jordan for two generations.
In this history, first he was hammered by Shay, and now he was hammered by Shay's godson - serving Shay for two generations!
No matter which history, Pippen has to be ridden on the top of his head by two generations.
Relying on precise shooting and brilliant breakthrough performance, AI scored 21 points in the final quarter.
Even Duncan could only rely on fouls to prevent Iverson from scoring directly.
In the end, AI relied on its strong scoring power to lead the team to complete a 15-point reversal in the final quarter, and finally scored 46 points in a single game!
The first showdown between AI and Duncan can almost be said to be a complete victory for AI!
Facing a strong enemy and leading a team to counterattack, there is simply no more perfect script than this.
I thought that AI's 46 points in a single game against Duncan was already impressive enough.
Who knew that now in April, AI would torture Kidd again!
During this period, Kidd was a member of the Double First Team in the original history.
Kidd has also been selected to the All-Defensive Team for 9 consecutive years since 1999!
It is no exaggeration to say that Kidd's defense during this period was already great and he was one of the best defensive defenders in the league.
What's the result?
He was completely tortured by AI!
In fact, if you look closely, you will find that Kidd's defense is indeed very good.
Throughout the game, you rarely see Kidd being completely shaken out of position.
Even when faced with the dazzling dribbling moves of the AI and the huge crossover, Kidd was always able to quickly return to his position.
But that's what's so scary about AI's game. He's always able to score the ball steadily against the defense even when Kidd isn't out of position much!
For countless rounds, Kidd tried his best to block the AI, but he still could only hear a "swipe" sound coming from behind him.
AI's shooting feel is so good today, and the shooting stability is stronger than in the past, so it is not afraid of interference at all.
Moreover, AI has the same abnormal physical fitness as Shay, which ensures that his firepower will not decrease even if he blasts for 45 minutes.
That is to say, AI doesn't play in Los Angeles, otherwise he and Shay, a father and son who are golden and alcoholic, can achieve the achievement of the Actress Stamp Slam in Hollywood.
Thus, the first 50+ score in AI's career was born!
Kidd did everything he could, but AI is really like Jordan and Shay back then - no matter how hard you try, I will lose if you can defend yourself!
First, he came back against Duncan with 46 points in a single game, and then faced the strong defensive Kidd with 50 points in a single game.
Allen Iverson is undoubtedly the strongest young player in the league!
When Kobe saw AI's 50-point night performance, he just lay on the shark and cried bitterly.
He always thought that he was the son of Philadelphia. After all, Kobe made his name in Philadelphia during high school.
But now, Philadelphia fans have completely forgotten about him and have found a new answer to Philadelphia!
Kobe has always been competing with AI, but so far in his career, he has always been overwhelmed by AI.
O'Neal also cried. Once AI scores 50 points in a single game, the paranoid Kobe will definitely take crazy shots in the next few games to achieve the same performance.
Damn it, I am the one who gets hurt in the end!
Why am I so evil!
Against this background, the showdown between AI and Shay has attracted much attention.
Although Shai is very strong, AI has created miracles again and again this season.
That's why ESPN is more optimistic about the 76ers and AI, believing that they can give the Lakers a fatal defeat.
"The change of times is an inevitable natural law in competitive sports. I know that Shay is actually still young, he is only 29 years old.
But it's obvious that AI can't wait to take the throne!
And, he has the ability to do it!"
Shay looked at these reports and sighed.
Alas, my sons have already become impatient even before I abdicate.
However.
Before AI beat Shay with basketball, Shay had already beaten AI off the court!
AI has exploded this season, and this change has increased the influence and sales of Shay’s brand!
Don’t forget, AI is the spokesperson of the Shay brand.
Every single item AI wears every time he enters the venue will be snapped up by fans!
The more popular AI becomes, the more money Xie makes. The bigger the storm AI creates, the more expensive Xie’s branded products become!
Is this the happiness of capitalists?
But making money is making money, and Shay still has to look like a father on the basketball court.
It would be very embarrassing if he was really educated by his son in public.
When the Lakers, who were riding a five-game winning streak, arrived in Philadelphia, Shea immediately received a call from AI:
"Hey Shay! I can't wait to play again tomorrow night. Let's play one-on-one on the training ground for two hours tonight!"
