Shay thought that 30 boxes of doughnuts would be enough for Barkley to take home for a long time.

After all, there are 12 in a box, and 30 boxes are 360.

But after the afternoon training, Shay was surprised to find out.

Half of the doughnuts have been wiped out by Flying Pig on the spot!

Barkley slashes 180 donuts while training!

Everyone wiped their sweat after the session, except for Barkley, who hiccuped in satisfaction.

Today, Fliggy can't help but grab a doughnut and stuff it in his mouth frantically whenever he has a little time.

Others hydrate between trainings, and Fliggy replenishes calories between trainings.

The logo man looked through the office glass and looked at Buckley, who had been spinning the doughnut, and shook his head.

Sure enough, the Lakers stars have some special fetishes.

Magicians were firing like crazy in every corner of the arena back then.

Barkley was eating like crazy in every corner of the arena.

Shay? Shay is in every corner of the arena to convince people.

Shay really didn't know how Fliggy managed to eat it.

After all, the donut thing is like Aunt Jenny, greasy and sweet.

However, seeing Fliggy so happy, Shay also proved that the wise quote is indeed true:

If you want to conquer a man, you must either conquer his mouth or his stomach!

Durant drank footwash water, and he was conquered by both.

After the training session, the media session came.

Reporters rushed into the training hall, all excited.

These days are full of discussions about who is the real core of the Lakers, Barkley and Shay, so reporters who don't think much of it are eager to hear what both parties have to say.

By the way, stir and stir up from it.

That's what journalists love to do.

On the Bulls' side, Jordan, Pippen and Cobra were drafted into the team, and the atmosphere in the locker room this season is extremely delicate.

So in the reporter's opinion, Barkley and Shay, a halfway couple, must have more locker room news to dig into.

People are born to gossip.

When I went home for the Chinese New Year, the aunt at the entrance of the village commented on the people who returned to the village while eating melon seeds, and I was able to discuss it for a day.

In fact, ugly people are the same, reporters like to dig up some locker room news to discuss.

Excited reporters first found Barkley, who had a big mouth to say something and might break some exciting news.

Barkley has often been at odds with the 76ers because he has often scolded management, so he has been regarded by the outside world as an unstable factor in the locker room during this period.

In order to deliberately induce Barkley, the reporter unceremoniously asked: "Charles, who do you think has a higher status on the team, you or Shay?" ”

Several reporters couldn't wait to put the microphone next to Barkley's mouth, and this kind of deliberate arching of the fire was easy to talk about.

As a result, Barkley, who has always been arrogant, laughed:

"The two of us are about the same height, I don't know whose status is higher, but our final ranking is definitely higher than Jordan!"

With that, Barkley took a bite off half of the doughnut.

The reporters were disappointed, that's all?

So the reporter asked: "Why did the Lakers remove everyone's collective poster and replace it with Shay's personal poster?" ”

"Why? Because Shay is handsome. ”

The reporters were directly stunned, Charles, if you are going to be coerced by Shay, you will blink!

Why is Fliggy so docile?

Isn't there some friction when superstars and newcomers work together?

Abdul-Jabbar and the Magician also spent several years together before they fully accepted each other.

The magician even said that "when Abdul-Jabbar leaves, you'll be able to see the real magic show" enough to make the locker room explode.

A superstar who has been famous for a long time and a genius who is full of talent are like a motivated teenager and a motivated little aunt, and there will definitely be friction after being together for a long time.

Although the media has also made a big fuss about the internal relations of the Lakers before, in the end nothing came of it.

But everyone believed that it was just that the thunder had not exploded yet.

Gotta bury Ray a little longer.

This time, Shay made a big splash at the All-Star Game, while Barkley all but disappeared.

The Lakers' propaganda focus is also on Shay.

I thought that the time for a thunderstorm had come, and it would definitely make Barkley unhappy.

As a result, Barkley actually had such a happy time!?

Not even a word of yin and yang weirdness!?

And from Shay's side, the reporters couldn't dig up any exciting news.

Reporters asked Shay if Barkley was too lazy in training, to which Shay replied that "Charles is never late or leave early".

Reporters asked Shay if it was Ross Barkley's team or yours, to which Shay replied "It's Dr. Bass's team, he spent the money back then".

Shay is like an emotionless answering machine, so that the reporters are not interested in asking any questions.

The logo man was quite worried when he saw that public opinion was wrong recently.

He knows very well that the media is a-stirring stick, and he has to do the whole work at every turn.

A team that obviously has no contradictions may also have cracks if it is stirred up too much by the media.

You look at the Bulls, the Cobras may have only been slightly upset with Jordan and Pippen at first.

But with the help of the media, Cobra is now almost reversed.

As a result, the next day, the media was calm.

There was not much news other than the news that Barkley had unscrewed 180 doughnuts a day.

Shay and Barkley did not give reporters any chance to play on the spot, either on the court or during the interview.

There was no public pressure, which also allowed Shay and Barkley to play very smoothly in the second half of the season.

The cooperation between the two on the field became more and more intimate, and the team won successive battles.

The whole team is twisted into a rope!

Relying on this momentum, the Lakers have the upper hand in the battle for the first place in the league with the Bulls!

After the All-Star break, the Bulls remained the only team in the league that had not experienced a three-game losing streak.

But since March, the Bulls have lost several inexplicable games.

On March 5, the Bulls played against the Spurs, and the Bulls used their good forward to prevent the Admirals from shooting only 9 of 24.

As an interior lineman, the Admirals shot less than 40 percent from the field that game.

Jordan scored 39 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists for a perfect performance, and it stands to reason that the Bulls will definitely win this game.

As a result of Spurs quarterback Dyer. Ellis showed a super performance, 11 of 17 from the field, 2 of 3 from three-point range, and scored 29 points!

After the game was dragged into overtime, the Admirals went on a killing spree on the inside, and finally relied on a wave of Hastelloy rain to extinguish the Bulls' counterattack.

107-102, with the Admirals dead and Jordan playing a triple-double, the Bulls lost.

Facing the Heat in the lottery area on March 11, the Bulls are supposed to win.

Results Lebanese center Ronnie. Sekari was shocked to drop a super double-double of 30 points and 23 rebounds.

completely killed the Bulls' interior line.

In the final moments, Jordan missed the shot, and the Bulls lost 95-97 to the Heat in the lottery zone.

Throughout March, there were many such inexplicable losses for the Bulls.

For example, against the Bucks, who are also in the lotto zone, the Bulls can let six people score a double to kill the game.

Facing the Suns, who were teetering on the brink of the playoffs, Jordan was able to lose the game with 44 points.

The Bulls' problem is obvious, they have entered a period of slackness.

The regular season is coming to an end, and as a team that has won two consecutive championships, it is difficult for players to maintain their enthusiasm for the regular season at this time.

In the regular season, the Bulls seem to be missing the domineering "Lao Tzu is going to crush you" last season.

Of course, the Bulls are still strong and still number one in the East.

But a series of losses in March allowed the tight-knit Lakers to gradually outrun the Bulls by a few wins.

On the Lakers' side, the situation is the opposite of the Bulls.

Under the leadership of Shay and Barkley, the Lakers were still full of enthusiasm at the end of the season, without any signs of slacking off and tiredness.

Shay and Barkley were also quite impressive individually.

The duo has 20+10 performances in almost every game, especially Shay, who has a lot of momentum to surpass Stockton in the assist charts.

You know, Stockton has ruled the assist title for five years.

Shay is the first to threaten his position!

As far as the regular season goes, the Lakers and Bulls have completely different hearts.

This is normal, no matter how beautiful a woman is, you will think that it is nothing more than this every day.

Not to mention playing basketball.

This is the third time that the Bulls have repeated their way to winning the championship and are more prone to burnout.

And the Lakers, this is the first time since the Magic era that they have a chance to compete for the first place in the league, and everyone naturally has inexhaustible strength.

I still want to do it.

However, during this period, there were also two things that made Shay a little regretful.

The first is that the Lakers' bald team doctor Wetty directly banned Shay's crazy practice.

It didn't matter if you practiced at the beginning of the season, but now in the late stages of the season, the players are very tired.

With such a high-intensity training, Wettie is afraid that Shay will not be able to withstand it in the playoffs.

Don't kill all sides in the regular season and can't play in the playoffs, so what's the point of having such a good regular season record.

When Riley was there before, the Lakers had suffered too many such losses.

Before the finals, the devil also practiced hard, but when it came to the official game, he was either injured or couldn't play, which backfired.

The Lakers need to learn their lesson and never let this happen again.

Although Lakers assistant coach Thibodeau scoffed at this, he felt that it was nothing to practice more, and it would be no problem to let the core players play for 45 minutes after the practice!

However, Thibodeau did not have enough say in the Lakers after all, so the whole team still accepted Wietti's suggestion.

In this way, Shay's training was stopped.

This means that Shay can't rely on the Heavenly Reward System to get badges for the time being.

The second regret is that the Lakers have not beaten the Knicks led by the Captain of the Gorillas this season.

At the end of March, the Lakers played another game against the Knicks, and the result was that the Knicks won the Lakers by 10 points, 114-104!

The Lakers, who trailed by 11 points in the first three quarters, gathered up their strength in the fourth quarter and played a full-fledged performance, scoring 36 points in a single quarter.

thought that the Lakers would play a big reversal in the last quarter, but the Knicks actually scored 35 points in a single quarter in the fourth quarter!

This team, which is known for its cement defense, actually competed with the Lakers on the offensive end in the fourth quarter.

Shay was also convinced, and it was the case with two consecutive losses to the Knicks.

All of them encountered the Knicks' sudden offensive explosions.

The Knicks' defense is already the best in the league, and if the offense is turned on, there is no way to win.

In the end, the Captain Orangutan scored 34 points and 12 rebounds in the game, and the Knicks scored in double figures for seven players.

Even if Shay had 23 points and 15 assists and Barkley had 21 points and 13 rebounds, it didn't help.

The Lakers lost to the Knicks for the second time and have no chance of revenge in the regular season this season.

But even so, the Lakers' record after the All-Star break has been generally very stable.

Gradually throw the bull behind.

And just like that, April 25, after the last day of the regular season.

The Bulls won a 62-20 record, successfully stepped on the 60-win Knicks, and won the first place in the East for the third consecutive year!

But this year, the Bulls weren't the biggest winners.

Jordan, who finished first in the East, was not happy at all after the game.

Because the Lakers have won a proud record of 67 wins and 15 losses under the leadership of Shay and Barkley, the first in the league!

Last season's Lakers finished the regular season with 50 wins and 32 losses.

The Lakers have improved by 17 games this season, and what is even more impressive is that even the gorgeous Lakers during the Showtime period have not won 67 in the regular season!

Magic + Abdul-Jabbar is also 65 wins at most!

In their first season together, Shay and Barkley had the second-best record in team history!

At the same time, it is also the second best record in the history of the league!

For a time, James. Worthy found himself in the newspapers.

"Without Worthy, there would be no Shay, and without Shay, there would be no 67 wins.

Worthy, the founder of the Lakers' two glorious eras! ”

Worthy:.

You can be a human being, it!

Jordan didn't give an interview after the game and left the court silently.

He has worked hard in the regular season this season, playing early to win without paddling.

As a result, it was still surpassed by the Lakers.

This made the extremely competitive Jordan very unhappy.

He just wants the playoffs to start early and the Finals to start early.

He must bury the Lakers with his own hands!

In Los Angeles, it's singing and dancing.

The fans couldn't be happier because in addition to the team's excellent record, Shay and Ross Barkley's stats were also quite beautiful.

Fliggy is averaging 24.3 points, 12.2 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.0 blocks per game this season.

Fifth in the league in scoring and sixth in the league in rebounding.

The shooting percentage reached a career-high 61.4%!

With Shay feeding the cake, Fliggy's efficiency skyrocketed.

Shay is averaging 22.8 points, 12.2 assists, 3.2 rebounds, 2.4 steals and 1.2 blocks per game this season.

Shay didn't score as much as Barkleydo, but he also just finished in the top 10 of the league.

Of course, without Barkley, Shay's score would have been higher.

Because of the tie with Barkley, 22.8 points and 24.3 points do not represent Shay and Barkley's strongest scoring ability.

It's not unusual to score in the top 10, and the most unusual thing is that Shay's average of 12.2 assists per game allowed him to end Stockton's five-year reign over the title of assist king!

Moreover, Shay is the first assist king since the Magic to rank in the top 10 in the league in points per game!

This means that Shay can score on his own and connect the whole team, making him one of the best offensive players in the league!

In his second year, he became the assist king and led the team to a record of 67 wins.

This makes Shay hotter than Jordan.

Although Danzi averaged 32.6 points per game this season, he won the title of points king for seven consecutive years.

But people have become accustomed to this kind of thing, and even have some aesthetic fatigue.

People are more interested in new tea.

Shay's performance in the regular season this season has made people feel very fresh.

The Magic has averaged 20+ per game in just four seasons in his entire career, and Shay has averaged 20+ per game for the second year in a row.

And the Magic has only one season in his career, and his scoring can surpass Shay's 22.8 points this year.

The Magic led the team to a high of 65 wins, and Shay was able to win 67.

In addition, Shay's entry into the defensive formation this year is almost a certainty.

And the Magic has never been on the All-Defensive Team in his career.

So, a lot of the media is blowing Shay.

Call Shay a magician with better individual scoring and defensive abilities!

Last season, people just said Shay looked like a magician.

But this season, people are already saying that Shay is better than Magic!

Magic can lead the Lakers to create brilliance, so wouldn't a stronger Magic make the Lakers take off?

The Magic himself also expressed his affirmation of Shay in the summary program after the regular season:

"Shay is only in his second year, but there's no denying that he's already the league's top point guard!

His finishing ability, his passing vision, his individual defense and help defense are all superb.

Don't blink, Charles and Shay are sure to have a surprising record! ”

Although we know that Magic has always loved to blow Lakers players, having a historical celebrity backing it down at least shows that Shay's performance this season is very golden.

There are even some media discussions about the possibility of Shay winning the MVP!

The whole world is watching the Lakers, all eyes are on Shay and Barkley.

Some people want to see them create brilliance, and some people want to see them make a fool of themselves.

But in any case, the Lakers really attracted the most attention!

So, the old question arises:

"Can the Lakers stop the Bulls from winning three in a row?"

Shay and Barkley, who were so powerful in the regular season, seem to be able to really take down that all-powerful Chicago tyrant!

Jordan had already lost to the Lakers in the regular season, and he was very competitive about it.

When interviewed by the media, Jordan just smiled and said: "Shay and Charles will rush out of the West first." ”

A posture of "they're not qualified enough to challenge me".

Indeed, the western side is equally dangerous.

This year, the top eight in the West are the Lakers, Rockets, SuperSonics, Trail Blazers, Spurs, Jazz, Clippers and Suns.

Among them, the Lakers, Rockets, SuperSonics and Trail Blazers are all more than 50 wins, and their strength is good.

And, if both the Lakers and Trail Blazers advance, the two teams will meet again in the Western Conference semifinals!

History is always strikingly similar.

Before challenging Jordan, the Lakers also had to pass the level of the old rival glider!

The glider is still very strong this season, because they have not experienced major injuries, so they are still very strong in the West.

Shay also knows that the playoffs aren't a game.

Although he played well in the regular season this year, how easy is it to challenge Jordan?

So.

Before the playoffs began, Shay pulled out the essence of his three players!

After completing the league's first mission, Shay's three player essence rewards are still useless.

Although this lottery does not guarantee the benefits of gold rewards, if you are lucky, it is equivalent to a big upgrade.

At this point, Connery walked into the living room in a lace-trimmed suit of faith and stood in front of Shay with his waist crossed.

"The water in the bathtub is placed, let's go~"

Just washing your face before the lottery is no longer enough for Shay.

Since it is a lottery, of course you have to take a breath of European and American women!

Draw it down like this, the result shouldn't be too bad~

Thank you for the tips of the collapsed soy sauce and other bigwigs, thank you!
