Chapter 338 337: Ma Long is completely reduced to a joke, on the hunting list(2/2)
Since it is a comeback battle, of course I have to choose an opponent that I am confident I can win.
And the most successful MVP in our history is the one who I am confident can handle it."
Rodman is indeed a basketball demon, and these vicious words are enough to plunge Karl Malone into shame for the rest of his life.
Sure enough, in the newspapers the next day, the media began to question the value of Karl Malone as the MVP.
Many media even complained about Shay's injustice, believing that Shay's four consecutive MVP awards were unfairly deprived by the league.
"Although the Lakers are only ranked eighth in the Western Conference this season, since Shai's return, the Lakers' winning rate has indeed been the highest in the league. Therefore, the MVP should have been his!"
"To be honest, Karl Malone has lowered the standards for MVP."
"In my mind, Shay is the fourth consecutive MVP!"
All media outlets turned against each other overnight, and Karl Malone became the most disliked MVP.
At this time, Malone must have regretted saying those things that offended Shay out of a moment of arrogance at the MVP award ceremony.
Malone's self-confidence has been completely destroyed.
He even dared not face Shay directly.
In this way, the scene of the most serious MVP car accident in history appeared.
In the second game of the series, the Jazz relied on the outstanding performance of Stockton and mid-range shooting king Houston to regain the victory. However, Malone's personal performance was still poor. As the MVP, his personal score still did not exceed 20, and his efficiency was extremely low.
In the next three consecutive games, the Utah Jazz were unable to fight back. The main reason was that Malone's performance was so poor.
Others only pull out one game from time to time in the series, but Malone does it from start to finish!
In G3, Shay scored 41 points. Malone scored 25 points, but his shooting rate was only 40%.
In G4, Malone scored a double-double with 25 points and 14 rebounds, but he made 8 of 19 shots and a shooting percentage of 42.1%.
The Lakers won two games in a row, and the total score in the series has become 3 to 1!
Malone's extremely low efficiency also makes his data meaningless.
But based on the previous experience of the Suns and Lakers playing six games, people believe that the second place in the Western Conference will definitely struggle again.
He won't be swept away by the gentlemen of the Lakers just like that.
In the life-and-death battle in G5 of the series, Malone will definitely break out!
As a result, in the G5 life-and-death game, Karl Malone performed the most hip-shaking performance of an MVP in a life-and-death game in NBA history.
In the whole game, Malone only scored 15 points, making 5 of 18 shots, with a shooting percentage of only 27.8%!
Under Shea's defense, Alan Houston scored 19 points with a shooting rate of 53.8%, showing great resilience.
But all his efforts were ruined by Ma Long's weakness.
Such a comparison between the two makes it even more obvious that Ma Long's performance is unsightly!
The difference in Karl Malone's performance today is not only reflected in the statistics, but also in what he did on the court.
As an inside man, he almost always shoots from the mid-range. Because he knows very well that rushing in will most likely bring risks to Mutombo and Ben.
Malone, who has been shooting from the outside, gives people the feeling of not daring to fight.
Moreover, Malone not only did not stop the Lakers forcefully on the defensive end today, but instead repeatedly used diving to get fouls!
The most exaggerated one was when Shay cut to the basket on a fast break, and Malone stood in front of Shay to stop him.
As a result, Shay just touched Malone lightly with his hands, and Malone immediately performed a reverse standing long jump, inexplicably flying over the baseline!
The fans in Salt Lake City feel ashamed. If you use this trick at this life-or-death moment, everyone will not think you are smart, they will only think you are weak and incompetent!
Thanks to Malone's outstanding performance, the Jazz did not burst out with unimaginable power in this life-and-death battle, but were easily slaughtered by the Lakers.
4 to 1, the Lakers directly swept the Jazz, who were second in the Western Conference, and the MVP team.
Reaching the finals for the seventh consecutive season!
Even if the Jazz, led by the MVP, were counterattacked by the eighth in the Western Conference, the key point was that they were swept by the eighth in the Western Conference!
Until the end of the series, fans in Salt Lake City did not see the anger of the so-called MVP.
Throughout the series, Malone averaged only 19.4 points per game, and his shooting percentage per game was less than 40%.
To be honest, if Malone did not have the status of MVP, his performance would be nothing. After all, there is A Hua Zhuyu in front of him.
But Ah Hua is not the MVP after all, so Malone can be regarded as starting over again and reaching new heights.
It became the ultimate big sandbag that was as famous as A-Hua in the 1990s!
From now on, the 1999 MVP will become Karl Malone's lifelong shame!
When Shay attended the press conference after the game, he also used a trash talk destined to be passed down through the ages to give Malone his final evaluation:
"Cal? As we all know, he's a Jazz MVP."
On the surface, what Shay said was that "Malone is the MVP of the Jazz."
But in fact, the word jazz also means "unfashionable".
So, Shay is actually saying that Malone is a completely inconsistent MVP!
Eighth in the Western Conference, finally breaking out of the Western Conference. The MVP was completely beaten into a softie by Shay.
Judging from Malone's performance this year, I guess I can only wait for a Cameroonian French MVP to break through.
From now on, Marlon Shay will never be able to hold his head up in front of him.
He didn't even give Shay the slightest bit of trouble in the Western Conference Finals.
And then, the most legendary chapter in the basketball world entered its final moments.
The four consecutive MVPs will be cut off, but Shay is determined to win the four consecutive championships!
The shark in New York doesn't know it yet, but he has become the last name on Shay's hunting list.
