After changing careers, I became No.1 in basketball

Chapter 247 246: The gorilla broke the game, Shay pierced the glove, and the counterattack began!
The team trailed by 8 points at halftime, and Shay was defended to only score 10 points and shoot just over 40 percent.

The performance of the Lakers in the first half is undoubtedly quite bad.

The Sonics used unreasonable flanking and fast rotation to seal all the Lakers' easy scoring opportunities.

Who would have thought that the Sonics are 29.6 years old on average, and they can still be so tight!

To be honest, it's not just the playoffs, this may be the worst half of the Lakers' suppression this season.

In the past, if Shay was determined, he would definitely find a way to get his teammates ready that day.

But today, Shay and his teammates 24K pure iron.

This wave, this wave is a tribute to the jazz of all members.

But anyone with a discerning eye can see that the situation of the Lakers is different from that of the Jazz.

The Jazz was open that time and everyone played together. The Lakers really couldn't get a chance to be defended.

The Lakers players walked into the locker room dejectedly, and everyone played very aggrieved.

In the locker room, the TV was on, and NBC was interpreting the first half of the game:

"To break the flank, Shay needs the support of his teammates.

During the game, the Sonics surrounded Shay all the way, no matter where the ball was, it was completely rushing towards people.No matter where Shay is, as long as he dares to slap him, he will slap him. All kinds of black hands are everywhere.

There are always two people on both sides of the double team, and Shay's teammates, the Sonics, don't even look at it.

The Sonics didn't look like they were playing basketball, but more like seeking personal revenge from Shay.

Just double-team first and force Shay to pass the ball!

But today, other players of the Lakers also failed to seize the opportunity, which led to the SuperSonic team Shai's attack becoming more and more unscrupulous.

I can understand that other people's shots were interfered and they didn't score, but Patrick didn't have any advantage at the basket, which is simply unbelievable.

Kemp and McKay, these two guys are also frantically pinching Shay, and Ewing didn't play any containment role.

But it is true that it is not easy for Patrick to play his current performance after a serious injury.

He is no longer the King of New York.

Last summer, we were discussing whether Patrick could adapt to NBA-level confrontation. "

Carlisle picked up the remote control and turned off the TV: "Patrick, don't listen to their nonsense!"

Ewing nodded silently, but clenched his fists tightly.

When the Lakers signed Ewing last summer, the outside world basically thought it was a useless signing.

Replace Barkley with Ewing, who has been rested for a year due to a serious injury?It's just wishful thinking.

Ewing's 14+10 data this season is indeed mediocre.

Even Ewing admitted that he couldn't go back.

He is no longer the super center who was all-powerful in New York, the super center who fought Shai in the finals to the last moment of G6.

In the first half, Rainman Kemp's trash talk also made Ewing very helpless.

Facing Kemp's provocations again and again, Ewing was helpless.

Ewing was very envious when he saw Kemp bleed out.

He didn't give up, but...he didn't know how to help Shay.

At this time, Shay was sitting next to Ewing, gulping down water.

There wasn't a second in the first half when Shai wasn't pressed close.

In his previous life, Xie Yi dreamed of being hugged by two or three people, but he didn't expect that he would get tired of this thing after playing too much.

Now Shay felt like throwing up at the thought of the supersonic containment.

Thanks to the fact that the Lakers themselves defended well, they were not completely opened up by the Sonics.

But the defense alone is definitely not enough to fight against the Supersonics. On the offensive end, the Lakers must find a way to open up the situation.

Of course, Thibodeau doesn't seem to notice this.The defensive battle in the first half made the penguin very enjoyable:
"Rick, let's continue to defend in the second half! It doesn't matter, Patrick and Shay can both play the second half, and they both had a 3-minute break in the first half! 3 minutes!"

Carlisle:
Why do you think 3 minutes is long?You guys are exposed!
Of course Carlisle didn't listen to Thibodeau, and he couldn't listen to everything the assistant coach said.He is very clear that the offense needs to change, and this needs Ewing!
"Shay, in the second half, don't shoot from mid-range, go deeper and try to attract Kemp or McKay to pinch you.

After attracting double-teams, either shoot yourself or split the ball.

At this time, no matter who receives the ball, give me a shot immediately!

Regardless of whether there is interference or not, regardless of how many people interfere, just vote!

The Sonics over-flanked Shai, which left them very empty inside.

So, Patrick, you gotta grab the offensive rebounds!

Take the opportunity to let the team get a second chance to attack!

In the second half, we don't retreat quickly, we have to grab rebounds!
We need you, Patrick! "

Because the Lakers have limited mobility at the center position this season, Carlisle made Ewing give up the offensive rebounds throughout the season and returned to defense immediately.

But now, under special circumstances, Carlisle wants to take advantage of the emptiness inside the Supersonics and release Ewing's rebounding ability!
Carlisle's words made Ewing, who was a little downcast, raise his head again.

we need you.

This sounds like a sound of nature to Ewing.

What he fears most this season is that he is not needed, and what he fears the most is that he is useless.

He knew he wasn't a star anymore, he knew he was just living with Shay.

Although he is Shay's helper, he is not like Pippen around Jordan, not like Hill and Webber around Barkley.

He can't be regarded as a "second master", at most he can only be regarded as a role player.

but.
He still hopes that he can contribute to the team!

At this time, Shay also patted Ewing on the shoulder: "We are in charge of blacksmithing, and the rebound is handed over to you, Patrick."

The gorilla hammered his chest: "Don't worry about shooting, I'll grab the offensive rebound if I break my leg!"

Carlisle also clapped his hands: "Trust your teammates, trust each other, and make bold shots! A 64-win team is nothing special! They are human, and we are human too! It's time for us to counterattack, come on!"

The second half began quickly, and the fans in the Key Arena were already celebrating.

In the first half, the Sonics didn't play well on offense, so they didn't completely open the score.

Therefore, Seattle fans firmly believe that as long as they hit a few more goals in the second half, they will definitely be able to quickly open the score.

The Los Angeles Lakers are already a corpse!

After everyone from the Supersonic came on the field, everyone was also very happy.

Payton looked at Shay, who only scored 10 points in the first half, and his mouth was even crooked than Ibaka's crotch in the future:

"I told you the fuck, play one series with me and you're fucked.

Have you seen what is called DPOY now?Do you know what a glove is?

Enjoy Shay, because in the second half, you may not score 10 points! "

Shay also smiled, glanced at Ewing next to him and pointed at Payton: "Patrick, have you seen this guy in the best team club?"

"No, who is he?"

"I don't know. I beeped as soon as I came on stage, as if I knew us very well. Fuck, who would waste saliva with someone who hasn't been in for a while."

Shay and Ewing sang in unison, which almost made Peyton fuming.

Payton has been in the second team at most in his career so far, and Shay's first team has been as simple as eating and sleeping.

Although the gorilla has only scored once because of the fierce competition for the center position, it is better than Payton who has never scored this time.

Shay and the gorilla singing together is simply full of shame!
Although Shay's trash talk is not as rich as Peyton's, it is undoubtedly more lethal!

In fact, Peyton need not be too angry.For a while, most people don't have this stuff, so there's nothing to be ashamed of.

Facts: Owen has 11 teams in 0 seasons, and Anthony has 19 teams in 0 seasons.

Peyton was stunned by the trash talk, and temporarily shut his mouth.

Shay's ears finally became a little quieter.

But Shay knew it wasn't enough to just shut up Peyton.

He has to find a way to break the Sonics' control of the game before he shuts up completely!

At the beginning of the second half, the Lakers took the lead.

When Shai was outside the three-point line, it was Payton's one-on-one defense, because the whole world knew that Shai couldn't shoot the three-pointer.

Shai has not made as many [-]-pointers as Gossip Girl so far in his career.

This statistic has made countless fans envious!
Payton seemed a little unable to hold back, so he took the initiative to attack and prepare to steal.

But Shay observed the change of Payton's center of gravity, and flexibly changed direction to pass Payton.

However, the horror of the Sonics' defense has only just begun.

Sure enough, the moment Shay rushed past Peyton, Ceballos had already flanked him.

But Shay didn't hesitate this time, and continued to carry Ceballos straight into the paint.

The supersonic speed all shrank for a while, and even Kemp came up, and Shay was tightly surrounded again.

Shay immediately passed the ball to Finley.

Finley catches and shoots, but is disrupted by Ceballos, who quickly pops out.

Players are generally weak in three-pointers these days, and Finley's three-pointers during this period are not particularly stable.

This is also the reason why the Supersonic dared not kill Shay.

With such a slight interference, Finley really didn't make a three-pointer.

McKay was going to protect the rebound. He thought he could get the rebound with a light pick like in the first half.

But this time, the gorilla under the basket did not retreat in a hurry, but aggressively slammed into McKay and pushed him away.

Then the moment the basketball bounced off the hoop, Ewing leaped high, dragging his scarred legs, and took the ball off firmly with both hands!

The gorilla took off the offensive rebound toughly!

When Kemp saw this, he immediately attacked, but this time, Ewing didn't hesitate, and before Kemp defended him, he went straight to the basket!

Naturally, it was impossible for McKay to allow Ewing to dunk easily. He immediately jumped up and directly held down the gorilla with both hands in the air.

The gorilla fell to the ground and the basketball missed.

But the referee whistled decisively, and Ewing had to make two free throws!
Ewing, who was lying on the ground, waved his fist excitedly, and then celebrated with his crotch pushing hard!

Shay hurried up to help the gorilla up, this is a basketball court, not Atlanta!
You restrain yourself!
It hurts morale to be taken off the offensive rebound. After trying hard to prevent others, the result is that due to a momentary negligence, they still gave the opponent an offensive opportunity and all previous efforts were wasted.

No one wants to come.

Although it was only a free throw, the Lakers can be regarded as a successful second attack!

Ewing went to the free throw line and hit the first free throw steadily.

During the second free throw, Kemp wanted to disturb Ewing with trash talk: "Patrick, you are old and can't do it anymore. Admit it."

Ewing was stunned for a moment, and Shay also thought that the mentality of the gorilla had been affected.

Gorilla's offensive end is not as resolute as the defensive end, and his mentality can easily affect his performance on the offensive end.

But after being taken aback for a while, Ewing smiled calmly.

Yes, he has indeed come, and it is true that he is no longer at his peak. This is a fact.

As for the ball just now, if you want to replace Ewing as before, you will directly dunk McKay, and will you overthrow him?
Can.
Ewing looked at Rain Man calmly, and he smiled very easily: "Yes, I am old but not useless!"

After all, Ewing hit the second free throw again!

The Lakers chased to 6 points!
Patrick. Ewing began to overwhelm the Sonics inside!

In the next defense, the Lakers' defensive trap worked again.

Finley referred to Schramf as a flank, at which point he had to pull out or face the gorilla.

Schramff said that only children make choices, adults don't choose!
Germany's Odom chose to pass the ball back to Payton.

But Shay seemed to have predicted the opponent's next move in advance, and activated it one step ahead of time, directly intercepting Schramf's pass!

Today is the third time for Shai to intercept the pass from others in the Supersonics to Payton. His reaction ability and anticipation ability are telling the Seattleites why he is DPOY.

After getting the basketball, Payton was so angry that he wanted to fight back on the spot.

Seeing Shay throw the ball to the right, trying to counterattack through him from the right, Payton's center of gravity also shifted there.

But Shay suddenly got unlucky at this time and knocked the ball between Payton's legs from behind!
Peyton was dumbfounded, he had never seen such extraordinary moves!
Amidst the exclamation of the crowd, Xie Yi staged a bad luck piercing through the crotch!
Fans all over the world who were watching the live broadcast felt their scalps tingle. After so many years, Shay can still play well in the NBA arena!

Supersonic commentator Blackburn was also scared to pee:
"What kind of action was that just now!? Oh my God, I've never seen Shay's pass just now. Such a fancy pass, the most important thing is that he passed the glove Peyton!"

Payton was teased by Shay, and by the time he turned around, Shay had run halfway and no one could catch up.

With an easy one-handed dunk, the Lakers caught up to 4 points!
After scoring the goal, Shay trotted back to Payton's side: "Why were you so dazed just now? Didn't you say you want to be the best defensive player? That's it?"

George Karl also started roaring from the sidelines at this time: "Fuck it, don't make a mistake! I would rather violate the 24-second rule than make a mistake! Shit!"

As the saying goes, it’s not that one family doesn’t enter one house, Peyton and Carl, both master and apprentice, are laughing.

George Karl can't be angry, death double-teaming is only useful in positional warfare.

If the Lakers are allowed to fight back, it will be too easy for Shay to score.

So I would rather not score a goal for 24 seconds, and never let the Lakers score easily!

The Supersonics re-attacked. This time, Kemp received the ball at a zero-degree angle on the right side. After a fake shot, he made a false shot and broke through the bottom line, facing Ewing and took off to attack the frame.

Ewing jumped up and wanted to block it, but in the air, Rain Man used a lever action to get away from the block, and then the whole person glided past the basket.

You thought he was going to pull up for a layup?
No, after gliding to the other side of the basket, Rain Man turned around in the air, slammed his hands hard, and dunked with both hands with the pull bar slipping the bottom line!
Kemp in 96 was so unstoppable. Many people may not believe it, but in the original history of the 96 finals, Kemp won 9 out of 3 votes in the FMVP votes!
This is the second player after Logo Man to receive FMVP votes as a loser since the establishment of the FMVP award.

At this time, Yuren is omnipotent in such a way.

After Yuren scored the goal, the point difference was brought back to 6 points, and then he continued to chant: "Old guy, useless old guy!"

Ewing was furious, but did not lose his mind.

He doesn't care what others say, but he himself will definitely do his best to help the team!
After the Lakers attacked, Shay still followed the established strategy, first attracting double-teams, and then passing the ball to his teammates.

This time, the inferior horse still adhered to the fine tradition of "never disappoint Shay's trust", and as expected, he did not invest.

The basketball bounced off the hoop again, and Yuren paid attention this time and rushed back to the penalty area immediately.Sure enough, Ewing had already stuck McKay behind him again, ready to attack the rebound.

Kemp immediately jumped up vigorously, preparing to take off the rebound on top of Ewing's head.

But Ewing slammed into the air, knocking Kemp out of his original position!
However, Ewing also failed to catch the ball directly under the influence of the confrontation, but pointed the basketball into the air again.

Kemp immediately took off for the second time and continued to fight. His athletic ability is now completely surpassed by Ewing.

But Ewing blocked Kemp behind him with one hand, so that Kemp, who was not in a good position, just lit the basketball again.

Next, Ewing jumped up vigorously, but Kemp yanked his jersey in the air, causing Ewing to just tap the basketball as well.

The two men competed fiercely for rebounds, but Ewing was more determined.

He must complete his task!
This time, the basketball flies in the direction of the out-of-bounds hoop.Kemp smiled slightly, thinking that it was impossible for the aged Ewing to catch up with the ball.

Even if he can catch up, there is still a basketball hoop outside, so he has no room to jump out and catch the ball.

The ball is destined to be supersonic!

Old guy, still want to take the opportunity to steal offensive rebounds?Don't take a pee to see what kind of virtue you have now!
But at this time, Ewing only had basketball in his mind.

I saw Ewing immediately pushed Kemp away, and then the whole huge body jumped out, grabbing the basketball into the court.

Everyone was dumbfounded. If Ewing rushed out like this, his head would be broken.
"when!"

Sure enough, after getting the ball back, Ewing who jumped out hit his head hard on the basketball hoop!
Ewing, who hit the basketball hoop heavily, fell straight to the ground like a tree that had been cut down.

Originally, this scene was quite passionate, but the way Ewing fell to the ground made everyone want to laugh.

I have said it all, apart from Bugs Bunny in Space Jam, Ewing is the only one who can perform in his true colors!

Although the process was a bit funny, Ewing really got the offensive rebound again, and saved the ball and passed it to Shay!
Because the ball was too sudden, everyone in the Sonics didn't react.

Shay took the opportunity to take a step, and then directly drifted and shot under Payton's defense!

This time, with no one else to help, Shay was 1v1 with Peyton.

Payton struggled to block. Although he was not as tall as Shay, but with his excellent wingspan and his jumping ability, he was still firmly in front of the basketball.

But in the air, Shay's body leaned back slightly, and then kicked his legs in a signature way.

Payton's ball was tight, but fortunately, Shay was not Green, and the kick was just for balance and not to hurt the opponent.

Seattle fans looked at Shay's shooting posture and couldn't help but feel shocked.

Shay, this is a drifting golden rooster independent fadeaway jumper!
In the hot zone, it is drifting and the golden rooster is independent.Shay just wanted to try, so that he could get three buff bonuses at the same time!

Because of Shay's leaning back, he gets a bit of an angle, and Shay softly pushes the ball out.

Of course, this slight shooting angle can only ensure that Shay will not be taken, but in general Payton's defense is still very strict.

Kemp has already run forward, this goal is impossible to score, he is already waiting for a counterattack.

As a result, under Payton's tight defense, Shay's picturesque drifting back was directly hollowed into the net!

With a "swipe", the basketball pierced the chest of a Supersonic fan like a sharp sword.

Payton has defended so well, but still let Shay score! ?

And this goal also made another commentator Mike Breen exclaim:

"Great rebounding by Ewing, great shooting by Shay!
In single defense, Payton is not Shay's opponent at all!

Gloves?One-on-one, Shay will break through any set!

The Lakers did not continue to let the Sonics run amok, they continued to chase the point difference back to 4 points!
As long as Shay gets a one-on-one shot, he can immediately punish his opponent with a score!

The Los Angeles Lakers haven't lost yet, and there is still suspense in the game!
As long as Ewing can continue to grab offensive rebounds, he can continue to create opportunities for Shai! "

Shay didn't pretend to beep after scoring a goal, but hurried to help Ewing.

There was a big bag hanging on the top of Ewing's head, and his tears were spinning in pain.

But when Ewing saw Shay, he smirked: "Hey, isn't that a bad rebound? You still have 4 points, beat them!"

After Shay smashed the backboard and hit his head on the backboard, Ewing hit his head on the basketball hoop again, which inspired Stern, the cushion of this basketball hoop needs to be thicker!
Patrick Ewing, No. [-] NBA rim inspector.

Seeing Shay and Ewing start to retreat side by side, Carlisle let out a sigh of relief.

Although still 4 points behind, although it was very difficult to grab that rebound just now.

But it turns out that the Supersonics over-flanked Shay, resulting in their very weak control of defensive rebounds!

This breakthrough, he found the right one!
As long as the others continue to shoot decisively, Ewing will continue to grab second offensive opportunities at the basket and continue to create fleeting one-on-one conditions for Shay.

Then
Turn the game over for him sooner or later!
No. [-] in the West?Raised them!
　Twelve thousand words are presented today!Conscience is old, begging for votes!
