233: You're all afraid of Jordan, but I'm not afraid!
No lamb can get the mercy of a lion.
Shay's actions in Orlando perfectly illustrate the meaning of this sentence.
Hardaway had been beaten to a nervous breakdown, but he still couldn't stop Shay from leaving behind in Orlando the famous scene of "very few young people can force me to use seven successes".
Orlando is no longer rampant, and fans have torn up the "Hardaway, Best Formation" sign.
The on-site commentary also had selective amnesia, and there was a huge gap in the remarks before and after the game.
Before the game: Anfernee is already the strongest defender outside of Jordan!
After the game: Shay and Jordan are already one level above the other guards!
Poor penny, who went from Jordan's successor to Shay's beep material.
And for Hardaway, that's not all.
After being reduced to Shay's pretending material, he was reduced to O'Neal's mockery material in the post-game press conference.
"With only 8 of 24 shots, it seems that Anfernee needs to practice his shooting more than I do, hahahahaha, so you might as well give me a few more shots."
Although the shark was joking on the surface, if you listen carefully, you will know that it is the old onmyoji.
The Sharks don't come back, the team is 13-2, and they can still win against the Bulls.
As soon as the sharks returned, the team immediately lost a game, or a heavy defeat.
It's no wonder that sharks are in a good mood!
If O'Neill were to play in New York, the New York media would have to come up with a "shark law."
And the shark, who was in a bad mood, blamed pennies for the loss.
In fact, Penny himself has a good personality and is happy to share the ball.
And because he is tall enough, Hardaway's level of doing the inside drop ball is very good.
It can be said that Hardaway is actually very suitable for sharks, and there is no contradiction between the two.
But I can't stop the shark from being a big guy, but the brother and the heart are small!
Hardaway's reputation is getting better and better, which makes O'Neill extremely jealous.
If you think about it, if an author thinks of better ideas than the readers in his comment area, so that he can only copy book reviews every day, he will definitely be jealous of the reader's talent.
Sharks too, Hardaway you are a stinky fighter, why are you more popular than Lao Tzu now?
Hardaway felt bitter, even if he was beaten and didn't get comfort, he had to be ridiculed by his teammates.
However, the current shark is unthinkable, and the Magic management will have to give him a killing moment this summer.
No way, these days, all teams have this point of view:
Super centers are strong, but if you want to win the championship, you have to find guards like Shay and Jordan!
You know, Olajuwon hasn't won a championship in this history.
From the beginning of 87 to last season, it has been nine seasons, and the championship team is all defender-centered teams!
Magic's Lakers, Thomas's Pistons, Jordan's Bulls, and Shay's Lakers are all centered on guards, and all of these teams have a characteristic that they don't have super centers.
In '87, Abdul-Jabbar had little to do with the term "super center".
So, naturally, the Magic would favor Hardaway.
However, Shay can't handle the Magic team's affairs. I don't know what kind of story the sharks will make this summer.
After Hardaway, the Lakers' record became 34-11 and temporarily ranked third in the West.
Second only to the SuperSonics and Phoenix Suns, who have risen to prominence this season.
Overtook the Utah Jazz.
Although the Lakers are unlikely to surpass last season's 63-win record, the final ranking will certainly not be too low.
This made the teams in the West nervous.
I thought that the Lakers would have to breathe after the disintegration this season, but who knew that the Lakers' defense was stunned to do the first place in the league, and their record was steadily improving.
This has forced teams to be wary of the Lakers again.
In February, as the trade deadline approached, teams had a deep understanding of their strengths and weaknesses after playing half a season.
As a result, February tends to be the most frequent month for mid-season trades.
As a result, the teams in the West are trying to survive in a brutal environment and fight against the Lakers, who are still strong.
All of them have started an "arms race".
Whether a KTV business is good or not is not the sound quality.
It's like a team's record is not good because of its tactics.
The most important thing is people!
If the team wants to become stronger, it has to work hard from the "people"!
The SuperSonics, who are second in the West, are the first to attack, and they are afraid that the Lakers will rob them of the second position.
As a result, the SuperSonics came up with a starting quarterback who averaged 15.6 points per game and shot 38.4% from three-point range. Hawkins and two first-round and second-round picks in '96.
Traded from Indiana Pacers to get Derek. McKay – last season's second-defense striker!
Derek. McKay's scoring ability is mediocre, averaging only 11 points per game on less than 50% shooting, which is certainly not great on the inside.
But his aggressive defense and extremely fast maneuverability have made him a favorite of the SuperSonics.
George. Karl's supersonic was originally a team that relied on high-mobility strikers to contain the opponent's attack, and now the introduction of second-defense level forward McKay is undoubtedly adding to this foundation.
In the original history, the character of Mackay originally belonged to Sam. Perkins.
But now Perkins is with the Lakers, so the SuperSonics got McKay to take that place.
However, Derek. McKay is even better defensively than Perkins!
Perkins has never been named to the defensive team in his career, but McKay was not only named to the best second defense last season, but also the best second defensive player in his history.
His joining is simply a tiger to the defense of the SuperSonics.
It's like adding silk to the long legs in winter, it's warm and good-looking, and the effect is obvious!
With such a reinforcement of supersonic speed, Shay may not cry or not, but Big Dream is definitely going to cry.
In the West, the most restrained dream in terms of tactical style is precisely the supersonic.
Because of the high-mobility front line of supersound, it is really not afraid of a star.
They were able to jump back and forth between Big Dream and the rest of the group, both to contain Olajuwon and to use their height and mobility to block three-pointers.
Of course, for Shay, this is undoubtedly making the playoffs more difficult.
The guard of the SuperSonics, but it happened to be the "canonized" Payton in the first battle in 96.
This means that if Shay plays supersonic, he will not have a particularly high shooting percentage in the middle range.
Offense definitely has to rely on breakthroughs.
But at this time, the supersonic made such a co-defense monster as McKay.
Plus Ceballos, who was previously traded to the supersonic
This western region is really rolled up and leaves no way for people to live.
If the playoffs and the SuperSonics meet, it is destined to be a tough battle.
The SuperSonics trade was just the beginning, and soon, the Utah Jazz couldn't bear it anymore and strengthened the roster through the trade.
The SuperSonics are afraid of being surpassed by the Lakers, while the Jazz are thinking of surpassing the Lakers!
The Jazz fired the aging former All-Star guard Jeff. Malone and the 96 first-round pick, from the Trail Blazers got the godfather of the team demolition expert - Rod Brown. Strickland.
Since Slicker's departure, Strickland has been the de facto big man for the Trail Blazers. I thought that with Strickland, the Trail Blazers could start a pleasant swing journey.
As a result, the Trail Blazers have struggled on the edge of the playoffs every year, and Strickland was able to put up 18.9 points, 5.0 rebounds, 8.8 assists and 1.8 steals last season.
This makes the Trail Blazers very embarrassed, their record is not much better, and the ranking is not much higher.
And Strickland, the leading star, has beautiful statistics, but there is almost no box office appeal.
In the NBA, the most feared thing is this kind of not being up or down.
Seeing that the Suns had already reaped Webb, Hill, and Fliggy, the Trail Blazers decided to follow suit.
Completely let go of your face and start to swing like crazy!
Add to that Strickland, who is in the final year of his contract this year, and he wants to leave as well. If the Trail Blazers don't trade him, they won't be able to get Strickland's contract when it expires in the summer.
So the two sides hit it off, and the godfather of the team was sent to Salt Lake City.
The Trail Blazers got their wish and started to swing around, while the Jazz got their coveted outside scoring point!
Ever since Jeff. Malone is getting old, and the Jazz's offense can only rely on that big elbow Malone.
Stockton is not a quarterback after all, and his offensive ability is limited.
When Malone is in trouble, there is no second person for the Jazz to step up.
Therefore, the introduction of an accurate shooting and strong singles outside line has always been the goal of Sloan's veteran coach.
Finally, he got his wish.
This deal made Shay even more lamented the danger of the west.
Although the godfather of the team is not well-known in the 21st century, he is a defender who has entered the second team!
It is still the top 15 in the NBA's all-time assist list, and the number of assists is above Rondo!
The strength is still there.
Of course, Strickland's downside is that he always has things out of the stadium every once in a while. I don't know when he will suddenly come out of a moth if he plays well.
At this point, I have to say that his godson is better than the blue.
But as long as Strickland doesn't get sick, he's a qualified star defender.
The supersonics and Jazz have strengthened so much, which has indeed put more pressure on the Lakers.
Logo has also thought about reinforcements, but at the moment the chips in hand are not exchanged for better players.
Right now, the Lakers' highest trade value is Finley and Shay.
Shay won't talk about it, it's definitely not for sale.
And Finley's performance through his own efforts has been considered to be the second madman. Considered to be the second player to fall out of the lotto, but will eventually make it to the best team.
Finley is so suitable for the team, and the logo does not dare to act rashly.
The Lakers' goal is to compete for the championship, and replacing Finley at this time is likely to outweigh the losses.
As a result, the Lakers responded to all changes with the same and did not make any moves in this lively February.
The team's record is as stable as ever, and there will be losses, but not much.
And just like that, the time came for All-Star Weekend '96.
Grant. Hill once again surpassed Jordan, Barkley, Olajuwon and other superstars to become the all-star ticket king in the ugly country.
That's right, it's the local all-star ticket king of the ugly country!
Because the real ticket king is Shay!
With Shay's performance getting better and better, coupled with Lao Hu's success in the NBA after the World Championships, this is already the second season of the Mavericks.
As a bench attacker, he averaged 13.4 points per game.
Two Chinese players shine in the NBA, making the Chinese market more and more important.
Therefore, starting this year, the NBA has specially opened the voting channel in China.
Chinese fans can write to CCTV to vote, and the number of votes that meet the requirements will be counted directly in the total vote.
thereupon
Shay over the all-ugly idol Grant. Hill, once again crowned All-Star Ticket King!
Even Lao Hu's votes almost surpassed his teammate Kidd and almost became the starting guard of the Western Stars
Thanks to Kidd, he also played in the Mavericks, because of Lao Hu, the Mavericks' games were broadcast a lot, and Kidd's popularity was inexplicably high in China.
So there are a lot of Chinese fans who also voted for Kidd.
Otherwise, Kidd is really likely to be compared to Lao Hu.
This is the first time that the Ameriken basketball community has seen the mysterious power of the East!
If you dare to let go of your voting rights, we will dare to let Chinese players play the starters!
Although he became the ticket king, Shay's All-Star journey this year was not a pleasant one.
Because the eastern side had a stronger lineup on paper, the western troops lost the game even though they tried their best.
Big Shark O'Neal dreamed of winning an All-Star MVP and putting gold on his face, so he played very excitedly tonight.
In the game, he even did not hesitate to violently cut the admiral directly.
This is really no face for the admiral.
Originally, the general brushed the score to steal the shark's scoring champion, and the shark has always held a grudge.
For this reason, the shark did not hesitate to make up a story to the media that he asked the Admiral for an autograph when he was a child, but the Admiral did not give it, so he hated the Admiral.
The admiral looked confused, I wanted you to meet an 8-year-old like you who weighed 200 pounds, do I dare not give you an autograph?
But O'Neill lied to himself and really got into the play.
It wasn't until he retired years later that he admitted that he had made up the story himself.
In short, the current O'Neill is extremely brutal, and the admiral will be overturned in the All-Star Game, which is extremely humiliating.
Ewing was supposed to start the Western Stars, but the Gorilla went down to rest after only a few minutes of play, citing "sore knees".
It's the equivalent of a fake starter.
The admiral thought he had picked up a bargain, and a white prostitute could show off his strength in the All-Star Game.
As a result, he was hit by a shark!
The admiral has taken it, and it turns out that Ewing has a purpose for knee discomfort!
Smart knees, you deserve it!
In this way, the Sharks had 25 points and 10 rebounds, played the longest 30 minutes of the game, and were also the best players in the game.
When the AMVP presented the awards, Stern also glanced at O'Neal before announcing the results
Just as the sharks were about to take a step forward, Stern announced that Jordan was an AMVP!
O'Neill people are stupid, since it's not me, then what did you just see me doing!?
Drexler: That's what I asked him back then!
Jordan only played 22 minutes today, scoring 20 points, 4 assists and 1 rebound.
In terms of data and presence, it is not as good as a shark.
After the game, the sharks also learned that in fact, the judges had already voted for Jordan before the end of the game!
O'Neill was so angry that he almost fainted, why did he have that braised egg!?
With his championship last season, he has re-established himself as the most admired star of Ameriken.
Since the "return of the gods" last season, the entire public opinion is now a "kneeling and licking" posture towards Jordan.
It's as if all the accolades rightfully belong to Jordan.
After winning the AMVP, Jordan also taunted Shay, intentionally or unintentionally: "The ticket king is very good, but winning the game is great!" ”
The next day, none of the media avenged O'Neal, and everyone felt that Jordan took this AMVP for granted.
At this time, only people like Shay, who do not talk about human feelings and only talk about "accidents", dare to tell the truth:
"All of you are afraid of Jordan, but I am not.
The reality is that the Shark's AMVP was robbed. Those judges are just praising Jordan's stinky feet. ”
Jordan scolded Shay in front of everyone yesterday, and Shay naturally wanted to return the color.
Good guy, as soon as Shay said this, it was like doing it against the whole world.
All the uglies love Jordan, and all the uglies feel that Jordan is expected to win the award.
You Shay is just jealous!
When the tyrant on the throne heard this, he was even more furious.
Shay, it's against you!
You've forgotten whose head the crown is wearing now!
Jordan himself stepped down in person, responding to the AMVP controversy and Shay:
"I really don't care, to be honest I have too many personal accolades, one more or one less makes a big difference for me.
Unlike some people, who are scheming about an AMVP.
It doesn't matter, no matter what he says, he can't change the fact that he can't win against the Bulls this season.
I've won his team once in the opener, and I can win a second time! ”
Shay faced the all-ugly media and Jordan's response, but he didn't admit it:
"I'll just tell you the truth, Jordan doesn't have any privileges with me.
Maybe people have forgotten that the only time Jordan lost to the finals was to whom!
Therefore, I am not afraid if you are afraid of him.
All the media and fans think that Jordan is superior and that all the accolades deserve to belong to him.
But I've proven that honor doesn't have to belong to Jordan!
It can also be mine! It's someone else's!
Everybody's a professional footballer, everybody's a fighter. So I am not afraid of him, I am against him! ”
Shay's words stung Jordan completely.
The only tie-break and the only defeat in the finals were all given to him by Shay!
The '93 Finals added a touch of stain to Jordan's flawless career.
Jordan has always been worried about this, and now Shay has specially proposed it, which makes Jordan even more angry.
He vowed that the game against the Lakers at the end of February would cause a tragedy!
Shay was also gearing up.
What was lost in the opener, it's time to get it back!
The Lakers are now on track, and Shay is curious to see if the team can beat the Bulls.
Shay and Jordan, these two may be the first time, they were so angry before they met.
All the players in the league knew that Jordan and Shay could not be provoked before the game.
But what happens when Jordan and Shay provoke each other?
On February 28, the Great Western Forum, the war between the two tyrants was destined to be extremely bloody.
Today's 10,000-word update is presented, and the conscience of the old man kneels and begs for votes!
