Shay managed to score even after the first block.

This unbelievable picture surprised Barkley.

He even has the illusion that the Lakers' No. 23 is becoming more and more like the No. 23 in Chicago.

They are all the same domineering, the same example of example.

And they all like to perform in a variety of unbelievable poses and performances in the air!

You think your defense is perfect, but they can continue to score in all sorts of unconventional ways.

With this jaw-dropping shot, Shay scored 11 straight points in the final moments.

Led the Lakers to a double-digit lead in one fell swoop!

Scoring 11 points in a row is already exaggerated enough, but Shay actually kept Drexler clean sheet even after scoring 11 points in a row!

Today, Drexler's score on Shay's head is still 0!

Drexler finally hardened at a critical moment today, but he couldn't figure an inch!

He finally figured it out and decided that he wanted to take over the game himself.

Who knows, I just met the strongest defense.

I thought I couldn't get Shay with the ball, so I used the ball to break him down.

As a result, after playing without the ball, Drexler couldn't even touch the ball directly!

The Magician was excited now, and looked even more excited than Shay himself on the field.

He threw up his arms and shouted in a voice that had become hoarse:

"Shay proved that he deserves to be the MVP!

In this duel, he completely got rid of Drexler!

Took over the game completely!

Shay's MVP night was perfect! ”

While the Magic and Lakers fans were cheering, Shay undoubtedly disappointed most people today.

Those who are eager to see Shay lose on MVP night.

Those who say Shay isn't good enough to win the MVP.

Those who waited to see Shay's jokes.

There's only one thing they want to do at this moment, and that's to get Drexler back!

Are you worthy of us!?

Drexler himself was confused at this time, and when he faced Shay, he had always been quite confident.

He always thought that Shay and himself were not players of the same level at all.

Even if Shay became the MVP today, even if Shay and Barkley had ever combined to win him by 40 points.

But Drexler still doesn't like Shay from the bottom of his heart.

But now, Drexler has actually been blown up by Shay alone!

Shay doesn't have that many offensive means, but he can't make Ling rich offensive means.

Shay's attack is indeed a rush in, but even if you know he's going to do it, there's nothing you can do.

After Drexler was sprayed by Shay, "Remember, don't talk to the MVP before the game in the future", he froze in place as if he had lost his soul.

He couldn't believe that a guy who had been suppressed by himself all the time actually suppressed himself in turn today.

It wasn't until Adelman used up the last timeout and the referee blew the whistle that Drexler came to his senses.

Drexler looked at Adelman with a blank look on his face and walked slowly off the field.

His unyielding appearance was naturally filmed by the on-site camera.

The picture of Drexler being completely stunned by Shay will undoubtedly become a famous scene in playoff history.

With just over forty seconds left on the game, Adelman didn't have much to do.

His only option now is to replace all the people who can shoot threes on the team.

Then bet on three-pointers.

This all-or-nothing approach won't have a high success rate, but there's no other way.

Although the probability of winning the fight was already very low, Drexler still clenched his fists after coming to his senses.

The game may be hard to save, but he doesn't want to be saddled with a clean sheet by Shay.

In the series, losing one game is not the end of the world.

I can call it back later.

But shame, it's a lifetime thing!

If Shay had kept a clean sheet at a crucial moment today, Drexler couldn't have imagined what he would be demonized by the media.

So, he has to score a goal next.

At least don't let yourself lose so badly.

It's the same loss, but the defeat and the clean sheet are two completely different concepts.

As the game continued, Drexler stepped onto the court with a solemn face.

Shay looked at Drexler's depressed expression and was inexplicably poked in excitement.

Sure enough, men are a species that is easily flirted.

Sometimes just a voice, a look, is enough to make the hormones of ambition soar.

Drexler's expression made Shay want to him even more!

Shay then leaned in front of Drexler and erupted wildly at his expression.

"You're actually right, Clyde, Mycus was indeed robbed by me.

But it is better to snatch the MVP trophy from him than not to be able to snatch it once.

You say yes, right?

If you have the ability, you will also come to rob and rob me.

See if you can snatch the victory! ”

Drexler apparently ignored it, but was actually quite angry.

He was silent and waited for his teammates to kick off.

Shay was still on his guard against Drexler, but Drexler had become rough as well.

He pushed Shay away hard and ran towards the halfway line.

Divac saw the opportunity and immediately drove the ball to the sideline and successfully passed the ball to Drexler.

I don't know why, just by successfully receiving the touchline ball, Drexler has a sense of relief.

Shay quickly regained his cling, and Drexler had no time to waste, leaning on Shay to force his way beyond the three-point line before making a sudden stop.

Seeing Drexler's sudden sudden stop, Shay, who reacted quickly, also followed the brakes, then raised his center of gravity and raised his arms, ready to interfere with Drexler's shot.

But after Shay raised his arm, Drexler took a step back to the side!

Shay's first time seeing an airplane can still be in reverse gear!

Ah Hua retreated like this, and there was a distance between him and Shay.

Slipper was overjoyed, Shay's defense was indeed not infallible!

After shaking out of the space, Drexler made a direct three-point shot.

Slippery's heart is finally sunny, and finally, he finally broke the embarrassment of being Shay's clean sheet!

But as soon as he threw the ball, he saw a big hand coming from the side, completely covering the basket!

Shay was indeed completely out of position just now, but he quickly had a second reaction and jumped towards Drexler in front of him.

And relying on the advantage of arm length, he finally rubbed against the side of the basketball. Shay still completed the block on Drexler even though he was already out of position!

Drexler looked at the basketball that had been slapped away, and suddenly froze.

He saved face, he saved dignity, he got rid of the embarrassment of being a clean sheet.

was actually directly fanned by Shay!

"The basketball was covered, and although he had an 11-point lead, Shay still didn't give Drexler any chances, and his defense was still incredibly aggressive!

Drexler still couldn't score even 1 point on Shay's head!

At a critical moment in the playoffs, Drexler was completely clean sheet by Shay!

Clean sheet!

This is the strength of MVP, this is the capital of Shay to become MVP!

His defensive ability is the strongest in the league! ”

At the Magician's shouts, the basketball that was fanned out by Shay went straight out of bounds.

Aunt Jenny's eyes widened, didn't she, come again?

They just wiped it clean!

Shay, you hate, you must have done it on purpose!

Only this time, after seeing that it was the madman who pounced to save the ball, Aunt Jenny nimbly dodged to the side, avoiding Sprewell and letting him rush into the second row.

Auntie can indeed push it down, but it depends on who pushes it.

Sprewell saved the ball by Dale. Curry got it, and he immediately ran forward to kill time outside the three-point line.

Because the margin has been stretched to double digits, and time is running out.

So the Trail Blazers didn't foul Curry, which indicates that the Trail Blazers raised the white flag of surrender at the Great Western Forum Arena!

After Shay, who completed the block, walked through the half, Curry Sr. also passed the ball to Shay with great interest.

The moment Shay received the ball, all the Lakers fans cheered.

That sound seemed to make the Trail Blazers fans in Portland frightened.

Shay grabbed the ball with one hand and watched the minutes and seconds pass on the rebound.

Then in Drexler's resentful and embarrassed gaze, an electronic beep sounded.

90-79, the Los Angeles Lakers finally defeated the Western overlord Trail Blazers by 11 points without Barkley!

Shay had 28 points, 13 assists, five steals and two blocks.

In the last three minutes of the game, Shay scored 11 points in a row and kept Drexler clean!

Shay completely crushed the performance of the No. 1 SG in the West and led the Lakers to a big win over the Trail Blazers at home without being favored by anyone!

Coach Zhang's law really came into effect, when the Lakers scored 90 and the opponent scored less than 90, the Lakers won!

At the end of the match, Shay threw the ball straight into the air.

Then in front of the cameras that surrounded him, Shay excitedly tore his jersey and shouted at the camera:

"I'm the MVP! I'm the youngest MVP!

Nothing is impossible, I specialize in creating the impossible! ”

Shay's yelling at the camera has become an eternal classic in the hearts of many young fans.

I don't know how many young fans are inspired to fight for the basketball dream.

Shay inspires everyone with his practical actions, showing everyone that young people can also change the world!

Young people can also challenge the former overlords!

The Mavericks, who had just returned from Italy to the Ugly Country, found that the Lakers' No. 23 seemed to impress him more than the Bulls' No. 23.

Bethel High School's football and basketball prodigies watched Shay defeat Drexler as MVP and really began to believe that anything could happen in this world.

Countless young people began to regard Shay as an idol at this time.

He may be the first Chinese athlete in the true sense of the word, who is regarded as an idol by crooked nuts!

The magician also gave a standing ovation, tears in his eyes.

He knew that Shay was under a lot of pressure today, and without Barkley, the MVP was questioned by everyone.

It's really not easy to play under this pressure.

Before the game is played, people will be extremely tired.

But Shay withstood it, and he blew Drexler under high pressure.

The magician was happy for Shay from the bottom of his heart, and at the same time thanked his good brother Worthy.

Without Worthy, how did the Lakers lay two dynasties?

After Worthy was traded, he was also worried that his jersey would not be retired with the Lakers.

But with his trade, Shay was traded, and the Magic can guarantee that Worthy's jersey is retired!

Worthy:.

The Logo man looked at the glider that was leaving and let out a big sigh.

From the first second of the whole match, he was too nervous.

Because he was genuinely worried that Shay alone would not be able to withstand the fire of the Trailblazers.

In the mind of the logo man, even if Shay can lead the team to win today, it will definitely be a narrow victory.

The kind of narrow victory that fought hard.

The result?

As a result, Shay actually won the Trail Blazers by 11 points! Actually kept a clean sheet against Drexler, the first SG in the West!

The Logo man suddenly felt that Shay might be more than just a player better than Magic.

He could even grow into the best player in the history of the entire Lakers team!

He won the MVP in his sophomore year and beat his opponent in the playoffs.

The logo can be seen, Shay was born specifically to win!

Barkley sat on the bench and watched his teammates celebrate and couldn't help but smile.

It's worthy of being the head horse of my flying pig, and it's really strong.

With such a head horse here, Barkley felt that the hope of defeating the Bulls was growing.

It doesn't matter what the MVP is, when the FMVP is selected, my old pig will make a move!

In short, win Jordan first!

Thinking of this, Barkley stood up and joined the celebratory crowd.

At this moment, it's not just the players who are celebrating, but the Lakers fans in the stands are also celebrating.

Whether they knew each other or not, everyone hugged each other.

The victory in this game was indeed so relieved, and it seemed that all the fans outside of Los Angeles were waiting for Shay to roll over before the game, knowing that Barkley was injured and that Shay had won the MVP.

As a result, Shay not only didn't overturn, but the wheel of the car also pressed Drexler's face!

At this point, reporters finally had the opportunity to put the microphone into the excited Shay's mouth for a post-game interview with the new MVP.

"Shay, after you won the MVP earlier today, a lot of people felt that the result was unfair.

Think you're not worthy of being an MVP, think you're too young.

But today, you beat Drexler, your biggest opponent in the West, and kept him clean in the last three minutes of the fourth quarter.

Do you think those skeptical voices give you the opposite motivation? ”

The reporter has set up the stage, how could Shay waste this opportunity to pretend to be Boyi:

"It did make a difference, but the most important thing was the strength.

To be honest, I don't care what people on the outside world say, because no matter what they say, they still have to watch me lift the MVP trophy above my head!

That's right, a word of caution.

Drexler is not a mortal enemy to me.

The Assassins and Mycux were mortal enemies, as Mycux was eliminated by the Assassins in the playoffs for three consecutive years.

But Drexler, he only beat me once last season.

And this season, I'll pay it back right away!

Drexler is not my smiling assassin.

He can't hold me down this season!

You all said I couldn't handle Drexler alone, but not only did I do it, but I got him through!

Goodbye, Mr. Transitional, you're almost done with your mission.

People don't have to watch you get brutalized again and again in the finals. ”

Shay's speech was arrogant, egotistical, and arrogant.

made countless Trail Blazers fans angry half to death.

But what's even more infuriating is that Shay really has arrogant capital!

You hate him, but you have to admit that he is powerful, which is the most infuriating.

Trail Blazers fans feel like they're about to get the No. 23 traumatic stress!

As soon as I saw the 23rd, I had a heart attack!

was first abused by the Bulls' No. 23, and then by the Lakers' No. 23.

Some people's 23 is the throes of youth.

The 23 of the Trail Blazers fans is a lifetime of pain!

After that, Drexler's expression at the press conference was very lonely.

Although Drexler was not responsible for defending Shay today, Shay's 11 points in the final minute had nothing to do with him.

But the reporters don't care about you, they only know one thing: the score ratio between you and Shay in the last three minutes is 11 to 0!

Therefore, reporters attacked Drexler en masse.

"Clyde, how would you rate the last three minutes of this game?"

"With Shay scoring 11 points in a row, is your defense so bad?"

You vaguely said before the game that Shay's MVP was not worthy of his name.

But on the basketball court, you can't handle Shay.

Can it be said that you are actually simply jealous of Shay? ”

Reporter, you said a word to me, so that the always polite Ah Hua broke the defense, and yelled into the microphone:

"Now, the series is only 1-0 on aggregate! The series has just begun, and I haven't lost yet! ”

Drexler really couldn't help it, and whoever was humiliated by a group of people would not be able to stand it.

Drexler's words also regained the confidence of countless Trail Blazers fans.

yes, Shay did win this one, though.

But in the second round of the series, you have to win four games to win!

Who is the bear is not necessarily!

In this way, the various news of the next day was quite lively.

Here in Los Angeles, it's basically blowing Shay.

led the team to kill Drexler alone, showing his true colors as MVP.

Lakers fans are happy as if they are celebrating Chinese New Year's Eve, and those who criticized Shay before the game are now over seven!

However, the sunspots have one last straw.

That's a series of at least four games!

Slipper was right yesterday, losing a game is not a loss.

Bill. Simmons and Sam. Smith, two prestigious basketball authors, is also using this method to save his respect.

"I did say Shay was going to lose, but I mean, he's going to lose in series, but once in a while he can win one or two games!"

"Winning a series is MVP? How many MVP trophies do the league have to prepare? ”

These two still can't pull their faces, after all, they are figures with heads and faces in the basketball circle.

Everyone is looking forward to Ah Slip's second turnaround battle, so that those who have been shut up by Shay can get their face back.

The results are under the tireless efforts of Drexler.

In the second game of the series, the Trail Blazers lost the game in disbelief!

After the game, you don't say anything else.

Even the flying pigs sitting on the bench are confused!

He didn't play against the Trail Blazers during the regular season, and the Trail Blazers were still quite strong overall.

It's really hard to win by just one person.

But Shay, he didn't just do it alone, he did it twice!

The magician stood up and cheered with his heart beating wildly:

"96 to 92, today's game was so thrilling!

The Trail Blazers bit to the end, but the Trail Blazers, whose star was locked up, were still bad at the last moment!

At the critical moment, Shay's accurate pass to his teammate in the bottom corner in the bag clip was really spectacular!

I thought Shay was going to make a mistake, but he turned rot into magic and delivered a fatal pass in the bag! ”

At the same time as the magician yelled, a replay of the critical moment was also given on the big screen at the scene.

In the final 32 seconds of the game, the Lakers led by just one point.

Drexler was still limited by Shay in the fourth quarter today, but Terry. Bert stepped up and helped the team maintain offensive firepower with shots and assists in the fourth quarter.

The two sides played anxiously until the last 32 seconds.

At that time, Shay was holding the ball on the right side outside the three-point line and had already scored 27 points and 14 assists.

As it turned out, Corsey and Buck. Williams' forward combination is no longer a threat to Shay.

In two games in a row, Shay scored high points.

Adelman knew that the conventional way couldn't stop Shay, so this round he instructed everyone to press and pinch on the strong side!

The moment Shay received the basketball on the right side outside the three-point line, Drexler at the top of the arc immediately caught it.

Meanwhile, Terry. Burt defends the madman at the top of the arc, Buck. Williams went back to the old Curry, who was going to come out to catch the ball.

For a time, the entire strong side was clamped by the Blazers.

Shay couldn't find anyone to pass the ball at all.

Only Cleverd. Robinson was cleared, but his position at the time was in the bottom left corner.

Shay, who was caught outside the three-point line on the right, had a hard time getting the ball to the diagonal on the other side.

Seeing Shay unable to handle the ball in the vicious bag, Adelman happily thought that this time the defense was done.

As a result, Shay jumped up in the close clamp between Corsi and Slipper, leaned back, threw hard with both hands, and passed the ball to the bottom left corner in the pinch!

No one knew how Shay had managed to see his teammates so far away under tight wraps.

No one knows how Shay can pass so accurately with such a long and difficult pass.

In short, he just magically gave the ball to the past. At that moment, Adelman's heart was half cold.

Clifford. After Robinson received the basketball, Terry. Bert immediately lunged at him.

But Robinson had no stage fright and no distractions.

After all, playing the pioneers, he was holding his breath in his heart.

He wants the Trail Blazers to see the results of their efforts and make them regret it!

Robinson made a solid three-pointer and the basketball was taken from Terry. Bert's head slashed over his head as if death were wielding a scythe.

Under the nervous gaze of all the players of the Trail Blazers, the basketball hollowed into the net and hit steadily!

Shay's magical pass combined with Robinson's crucial three-pointer gave the Lakers a four-point lead in a crucial moment!

And in the end, this four-point advantage was maintained to the end, allowing the Lakers to win.

Shay's bizarre pass in the final moments is still exciting to rewatch.

At this point, the Lakers led the Trail Blazers 2-0 and kept all two home courts in the opening stage of the series!

At this point, Drexler and the entire Trail Blazers were stunned.

They couldn't believe they would have been beaten 2-0 down without Ross Barkley.

In fact, there is nothing to believe, in this round of the series, the Lakers are indeed in much better shape than in the regular season.

First of all, the Lakers role players are playing very well.

In this game, the Mad Men still played a role in limiting Drexler in the first three quarters.

Not to mention locking up the slider like Shay, but at least it didn't let his score do whatever he wanted.

With him, Shay can focus on offense in the first three quarters, and in the fourth quarter, he still has endless strength to make the slider call Dad.

Curry Sr. also performed well today, scoring 18 points in the game and making four three-pointers.

Campbell guarded the restricted area and didn't let the Trail Blazers break through.

Robinson scored a team-high 22 points and shot 66 percent from the field.

He took almost every open jump shot, and as long as the Trail Blazers dared to let him go, he could seal his throat with a sword.

Of course, Sam on the bench. Perkins and AC Green have also played their part in rotation time.

In short, the Lakers still gave Shay great support despite the absence of Barkley, relying on the excellent performance of the whole team.

Shay, though, is ultimately the most important thing.

scored 11 points in a row at a critical moment in the first game, and only allowed Ah Hua to score 4 points in the fourth quarter of the second game.

Shay, the youngest MVP in NBA history, is a world away from last season.

It can be said that it was Shay's excellent play that boosted the morale of the entire Lakers team in the face of adversity.

This team has really been pinched into a whole in this round of competition!

There are always some teams in the playoffs, and as the battle deepens, they will play better and better, and the more they play, the more tacit they play.

This year's Lakers undoubtedly belong to that team.

During the regular season, Shay and Barkley were unable to compete with Drexler alone.

But now, Drexler has lost two games in a row!

Now it's all right, Sam. Smith and Bill. Simmons, the two dog authors, was completely stunned.

Today, in order to create a gimmick, NBC TV specially invited these two to the studio.

Before the game began, the two kings of poisonous tongues had humiliated Shay.

From head to toe, the tongue is stronger than that of the fugitive princess.

"Shay just ate the dividends of the media's aesthetic fatigue, otherwise he wouldn't have snatched the MVP."

"Shay's MVP should go to Fliggy in half."

"He's without a doubt the weakest MVP of all time, and Drexler will be able to prove that very quickly. Today, the Trail Blazers can't afford to lose. ”

As a result, when the live signal is switched back to the studio after the game is over.

Bill. Simmons and Sam. The embarrassment on Smith's face made the audience wonder if they had already carved out a three-bedroom apartment underground.

The NBC host also deliberately asked: "Two, the Lakers won again, Shay 27 points and 15 assists, evaluate this game." ”

Bill. Simmons and Sam. Smith, the two usually arrogant and domineering basketball authors, was humble at this time.

"Hey, Bill, let's talk first."

"No, no, no, Sam, you say it first, you say it first."

"Oops, you're older than me, you say it first."

"How do you know I'm older than you?"

Compere:

Two, there's a speed limit here!

Be reserved!

Why is it still bigger than the previous one?

Seeing that the two who were arrogant and domineering before are now not rude, Lakers fans don't say how proud they are.

Shay led the team to a 2-0 lead over the Trail Blazers, and Fliggy was set to return in Game 4.

This made all the fans cheer.

How can the Lakers lose!?

As it turns out, Drexler is indeed not Shay's smiling assassin.

After all, it wasn't the second year for the Assassin to be knocked to the ground by Jordan.

Relying on these two games, Shay also reversed his reputation.

Previously, most people said that he was not worthy of his name.

But now, public opinion in the media has completely changed.

"The champion may have parallel goods, but the MVP does not! Shay is a true MVP, and his ability to impact the game is unquestionable! ”

"The MVP vote is fair, and Mai Buckle is indeed eligible to win the MVP, but this does not mean that there is anything wrong with Shay winning the MVP."

The most classic is still Bill. Simmons, the well-known author who was slapped in the face by Shay on the spot in the studio, has been conquered by Shay's performance:

"Listen, if Shay is really given a fair assessment, he's definitely an MVP-caliber player

I'll admit that I had made a mistake in my previous judgment.

I misread Shay.

Giving the MVP to Shay does make some sense.

Many people think he is too young, so they think he is not qualified.

However, the strength of the strength has nothing to do with age.

As for Drexler?

Good luck to him.

This is the end of his reign in the West! ”

Bill. Simmons' defection was something that everyone didn't expect.

A well-known columnist actually pulled down his face and admitted that he was wrong before, admitting that Shay was strong.

This shows that Shay has already conquered him!

Shay used his strength to make the black boss choose to shut up!

The day after the game, the NBA officially announced the results of this year's best team.

Previously, in the selection of the best defensive team, Shay entered the first defense for the second consecutive year without any suspense.

And this year, the biggest suspense is whether Shay can win the honor of double in the second grade!

One of the best defenders is definitely Jordan's, there's no doubt about that.

So the key question is whether Drexler can hold his position for a while!

However, the result is heart-wrenching.

This year's best five-man team are Jordan, Malone, Barkley, Big Dream and .

Shay, 2nd grade!

Where is the reason why MVPs can't get into the best team!

Well, in ancient times, there was indeed a time when the Lord of the Rings, as the MVP, was squeezed out by Zhang Dashuai for a while.

But in the context of modern basketball, this kind of thing is almost impossible to happen.

Drexler fell to the second formation, and he was essentially crushed by Shay!

Whether Drexler wants to admit it or not, now he has been suppressed by Shay in all aspects!

During today's media session after training, all journalists were unusually positive.

I'd like to ask Shay how he feels about being selected for the double team.

After all, in the history of the NBA, there has never been a player who won a double-team honor in the second grade!

Especially compared to the newly retired magician and Bird, Shay's achievements are even more terrifying.

Bird hasn't been in the first defensive team in his career, and the Magic has never known what the best defensive team is.

Even Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was in his fifth year of career when he won the double!

Jordan may have this ability, but unfortunately Jordan suffered a major injury in the regular season when he was a sophomore, only played 18 games, and did not win any honors.

And Shay, the terrifying 90s rising star, bagged a defense and a burst in the second grade!

Facing the cameras' cameras and glaring flashlights, Shay kept a smile and approached the reporters' microphones:

"Feelings? My feelings, in fact, Clyde often talk about it.

He was right.

He and I are no longer players at the same level.

Don't make it as if he's on par with me! ”

Shay humiliated Drexler in the way he didn't like the most!

After a year, Shay finally has a feeling of revenge!

Now, though, isn't Drexler's most painful time.

By the time he loses at home.

After losing to the Pistons three times in a row that year, Jordan swept the Bad Boys 4-0 in the '91 season, completely destroying them.

And Shay, he didn't mind reproducing something like that on Slipper.

Great players don't just want to beat their old enemies.

Instead, brutally and directly destroy it!

The Trail Blazers thought they could turn the tide when they returned to their home court.

However, the rest of the trip to Portland only made them more desperate.

Thank you for the broken knife, the smile is so cute, I slept, the collapsed soy sauce loong18 and other big guys' rewards, thank you! Today, the two-in-one chapter will be presented, and the plot will be smooth and will not pull the crotch! However, today because I am going to visit a relative's house for the New Year, I have shrunk by more than 1,000 words, but there are still 8,000+ daily changes! During the Chinese New Year, I hope to understand, Lao He will definitely do his best to write more! Once again, I wish you all a happy New Year, and at the same time, it's not too much to reward the old man with a few monthly passes! Kneel and beg!
