Shay stretched the margin to 13 points, but that was just the beginning of Duncan's nightmare.

Although he didn't respond, Duncan was not deaf, and he knew what Shay had just said.

Next, you can't get a point?

Duncan naturally didn't believe it, he felt that this was just an ordinary psychological offensive.

Shay He. There's no way to do that, right?

But soon, Duncan discovered the difference between Shay and the others.

Others spit trash talk and may just talk casually.

For example, if someone says that your wife tastes like a doughnut, he may not have actually tasted it, but just wants to mess with your mentality.

But Shay, the biggest difference between him and the others is that he does what he says!

Shay said that the next step was not to let Duncan score.

thereupon

"Tim. Duncan, another mistake, he can't even lift the ball! As soon as he lifted the basketball, he was cut off by Shay.

Oh my God, this might be even more Tim. Duncan has played basketball so far, and he has encountered the toughest situation!

The Lakers' resolute and tight pinch attack put Tim in a bitter battle! ”

By the time Barkley was yelling, Duncan had already made his second mistake in three rounds.

This most stable and calm nerd is now in a bitter battle!

Popovich was a little surprised, the Lakers' tactical execution was too strong!

The contraction was resolute, and the fills that pounced out were very timely.

Of course, the most important thing is to have Shay.

Shay's presence not only locked Duncan away, but also limited the general.

The general's mid-range iron-blooded jump shot was also interfered with by Shay's low shooting percentage.

Punch the inside? The Lakers' five-man shrinking tactics also made it impossible for the Admiral to attack the frame efficiently.

Back to Shay? Don't be funny, if the admiral had been so his back, he wouldn't have been killed by a big dream in the playoffs that year.

Shay's presence made the Twin Towers extremely aggrieved all night.

At this time, Barkley also began to blow thanks:

"You know what, Bill? In Chinese mythology, there is a magical monkey known as Monkey King, who is so powerful that he can stand alone against the entire divine realm!

This fellow, Monkey King, has learned a 72-way transformation technique that can transform into any of the most restrained enemies.

And Shay, he is simply that Monkey King!

Against Duncan and the Admiral, he turned into a monster in the fourth position!

I believe that in this year's playoffs, Shay will be able to fight the entire 'God Realm' alone! And then send all those who stand in his way to hell! ”

Spurs live commentary Bill. Rand was in a bad mood when he saw the team being abused like this by the eighth place in the West. So as soon as he heard Barkley frantically blowing thanks, he immediately retorted:

"Come on, Charles, these are all made up, there is no such monkey in Chinese mythology."

Barkley whites Bill. Rand at a glance:

"Otherwise, why don't you read more books? Don't just read those illustrated books all day long!

Shay also gave me a copy of this book, which is one of the four great Chinese novels. I'll lend it to you one day, it's not cultured! ”

"Oh, since you're so literate, have you finished reading this book?"

"Ahh Not. No! ”

"Why? The story isn't exciting enough? ”

"No, it's because in this book, the second leader of the adventure team is actually a pig! I suspected that Shay was deliberately mapping me, so I was so angry that I didn't look at it! ”

Bill. Rand:.

Do you still need mapping?

After fighting with Barkley, Bill. Rand continued to follow the game.

After forcing Duncan to make a turnover, it was Shay who missed a three-point shot after passing the ball to Billups, and the Lakers did not widen the margin again.

Now, the Spurs are still 10 points behind the Lakers in the final 2:33.

The loss is that in the previous rounds, Mario, who had assisted Big Dream. Eli, with two consecutive three-pointers and 2+1 after a breakthrough by the little general, closed the difference to 10 points.

The Spurs still have some hope of a counterattack.

Speaking of which, Spurs' bench depth is truly terrifying.

Sitting on the bench were people like Mario. Eli, Steve. Cole and Marrick. Ross and other hard stubble.

Popovich just saw that the starters were so inaccurate, and in the fourth quarter, he changed one person after another to try his touch. Eli, this kid tried it out.

Mario. Eli's miraculous 6 points in a row coupled with the 2+1 of the little general seemed to put the crumbling spurs on a ventilator and barely survived.

After Billups hit the iron and the Spurs protected the rebound, Popovich called a timeout in embarrassment.

Although the Spurs relied on a wave to score 9 points in a row, it was not easy to chase the difference back to 10 points.

But Popovich was not happy at all, because now there is a very serious problem - Duncan has not scored for seven minutes!

Seven minutes does not ship, this situation may be an advantage in other occasions.

But on the basketball court, this undoubtedly worries Popovich a lot.

Although the team's three-point shooting has improved now, the star of the house cannot play, and Popovich has never had a bottom in his heart.

But there is no way, Popovich can only rely on the long-range shooting sense of role players now: "Tim, if you have the chance, you can attack yourself!" I really don't have a chance to pass it on again! Others will give me a resolute shot once they get the opportunity, don't hesitate! ”

At this time, on the TV screen, fans also saw a close-up of Shay and Duncan's split screen.

Below Duncan, the director very intimately marked him with a note of "no score in seven minutes".

Below Shay, the director played his stats today: 40 points, 11 assists, 6 rebounds, 4 steals, and 3 blocks.

Up to now, Shay has won a double-double of 40+10!

This is also the reason why the Lakers can still maintain a double-digit advantage even though the Spurs have scored nine points in a row.

While Duncan was lost, Shay was still frantically tormenting the Spurs.

Judging by the performance of today's game, the gap between Shay and Duncan is huge.

At this time, Shay Shay was calmly drinking water, and instead of being disappointed when he saw the score that was forced to get close, he was. I'm still excited!

In this way, he has a reason to continue to kill the young No. 21!

Today's plan remains the same, which is to make the Spurs and Duncan lose face!

The game continued, and the timeout came back after the Spurs' first offense, following Mario. After Eli, Pippen actually returned to color outside the three-point line and finally hit his first three-pointer in the fourth quarter of the game!

This three-pointer allowed the Spurs to narrow the difference to single digits in one go!

The Spurs' sudden awakening of three-point shooting at the end of the fourth quarter gave Popovich hope for a counterattack.

Popovich laughed, there is no end to the sky!

Next, the Lakers will definitely be afraid of the Spurs' three-point shot and give up the shrink. When the time comes, Duncan will be liberated!

Carlisle is indeed a little worried, after all, the Spurs have scored 12 points in a row!

And I feel this thing in my hand, as if it is contagious.

When iron, one infects one iron. But when it's time, one will infect the other.

So Carlisle gestured to make the team's contraction not so deep, and to expand a little outward.

With Shay's mid-range jumper, the Spurs had another chance to close the gap!

Popovich's palms are clenched, and he is really about to start a counterattack!?

The little general also keenly noticed that the Lakers' defense was slightly more expanded than it had just been.

So, he immediately handed the ball to Duncan in the high post.

At this time, the Lakers' defense is expanding outward, so the bag will definitely not be in place immediately. The admiral was pulling in the low position again, and Shay definitely didn't dare to go forward to assist in the defense.

Duncan should have a chance to make a move!

The counterattack of the first in the west has begun!

However, when Duncan received the basketball, the little general found that the person behind Duncan was no longer Mutombo, but Shay!

While Carlisle just gestured to make the Lakers' defense expand, he was also reminding Shay: "You go to the high post to solve Duncan!" ”

Previously, the reason why Shay didn't need to defend Duncan was because Shay was near the basket and it was also difficult to prevent Duncan's back-to-back singles.

But now, Duncan is forced to hold the ball only in the high post, so Shay Ke is not afraid of this No. 21.

Duncan received the basketball, did not dare to hesitate, leaned back and threw a straight jump.

However, this goal is not a question of whether it can be scored or not, Duncan can't throw the ball at all!

The moment he lifted the basketball, Shay used his full-level steal prediction and speed to slam the basketball in Duncan's hand!

Tim. Duncan made his second mistake in a row!

Cutting the basketball, Shay led the counterattack with a long pass, and this time it was the Martial Saint who counterattacked and scored a layup, expanding the difference to 9 points again!

After finishing the defense, Shay stared at the dumbfounded No. 21:

"I said that if you don't get a point, you won't get a point. Stop struggling, you can't fight the will of the basketball Jesus! ”

Duncan was still silent, expressionless, and didn't give any feedback on Shay's trash talk.

But Shay knows very well that although some people don't scream and don't have expressions, she can actually feel every impact you make. So, don't stop, keep pressing!

If the pressure continues like this, Duncan will definitely become more and more anxious!

Duncan still failed to score, and Barkley shouted excitedly:

"See? Shay has changed his form again! Now Shay can carry Duncan alone! In any case, Shay is the one who can restrain you the most! ”

Duncan naturally won't give up, so this time he squeezed Shay in early for a deeper receiving position.

But Shay directly used the way to go around the front to deal with Duncan, and the whole person sat directly on Duncan's legs, cutting off the passing route!

The young general adjusted the angle several times, but he did not have the confidence to feed the ball out.

In desperation, basketball had to be given to Mario who was outside the three-point line. Ella.

But Elie's three-point shot this time was interfered with in time by Finley, who had already expanded his defense, and popped out of the frame!

How far do the Spurs have to go if they want to kill the game with a three-pointer when Duncan is completely blocked? Like Horry in 2005, he made 5 of 6 three-pointers in a single game and hit a desperate three-pointer to lead the Spurs to escape!

Or like Ginobili, who averaged 18.7 points per game on 49.9 percent shooting and 38.7 percent three-point shooting.

Otherwise, the Spurs can't kill the game from the outside!

And now this Spurs, apparently, there is no such outside configuration.

So, as long as Shay sees Duncan dead, he can completely solve the Spurs!

After another forced Duncan to catch the ball, Shay counterattacked directly with the ball as always.

Unlike Duncan, Shay didn't steal at key moments in the fourth quarter.

In fact, the Spurs are already on the verge of being beaten out of the psychological shadow today.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Popovich used the defensive strategy he relied on to survive in the future - blocking the middle, forcing the ball-handler to go to the side, and maintaining pressure at all times. Give you a chance to go heads-up in the middle distance, but if you break through, you can make up for it inside.

This is also the defensive strategy used by the Lakers before.

To put it bluntly, it is to give you the lowest cost-effective way to attack in the middle distance.

Neither the threes nor the breakout let you play.

So in the fourth quarter, Shay didn't break through the restricted area easily anymore and didn't get an easy long-range shot.

It stands to reason that with Pippen in his possession, it would be very difficult for Shay to score a heads-up goal from mid-range.

But.

Pippen: He can't guard against it at all!

Shay was solid in mid-range today, and Pippen's defense seemed to be okay every time, but Shay also scored every time.

Popovich just doesn't believe in evil, and Pippen, who still has his legs already starting to go limp, deals with Shay.

And Shay also left a famous scene on such a Pippen.

Shay will do what he wants, and after being blocked by the Spurs in the middle, he breaks through to Pippen's left-hand side.

Seeing this, Duncan immediately moved his position, ready to help defend Shay who broke through.

Shay's activation speed was so fast that he almost overtook Pippen by half a position in just one step. If it weren't for the rougher hand movements allowed this season, allowing Pippen to pull Shay, Pippen would probably be completely out of position.

However, just as Pippen struggled to chase back, just as Duncan was ready to help with the interception.

Shay, who was halfway through, suddenly stepped on the brakes and made an emergency stop and retreated!

To be honest, this move is not complicated, and it is not a particularly difficult technical move to learn. But those who watch the game often know that this seemingly concise trick is exactly the most useful!

Shay's sudden stop made Pippen have to brake sharply. But his legs could no longer support this sudden braking at this time, so Pippen's legs were weak, and he did not fall to the ground, but knelt directly on the ground, and then slid in front of Duncan and hugged Duncan's legs.

Duncan:.

Duncan was inexplicably given a big gift!

After kneeling Pippen, Shay also easily released his shot from mid-range, and the basketball hit again!

With 42 points and 12 assists, Shay's stats have been exaggerated to the point of being very alarming.

Kneeling directly on Pippen, Shay is also humiliating the Spurs' defense in this way.

He just wants to show the world that being first in the West is nothing big, and now the Lakers are back ahead of 11 points, another double digit!

Pippen is going to cry, I'm 34 years old, why do I have to go through this?

I just want to hold my leg and win another crown, what's my sin!?

It can only be said that Pippen hugged the wrong leg.

If he had recognized Shay as his godfather last summer, what else could have been so bad?

Pippen knew that the humiliation of being dangled was just an appetizer. Next, Shay's vicious trash talk is where the suffering begins.

To Pippen's surprise, Shay didn't trash talk at him next, but continued to shout at Duncan:

"Hey, it's your turn. I've already scored so many points, and you're trying to score a goal, recklessly! You're 11 points behind, and you don't want to be widened, right? ”

Shay hooked his finger at Duncan, nakedly provoking the absolute heart of the Spurs.

Duncan's face still didn't have a very obvious expression, but Shay could see that the guy was frowning slightly!

It's just that way it feels, and it's Duncan that way!

Duncan was indeed angry, not angry with Shay, but angry that he hadn't scored for more than eight minutes now, and angry that he was completely invisible on the offensive end at a critical moment!

In the first three quarters, Duncan thought that letting Shay play the No. 4 position would only make his offense difficult.

But I didn't expect it to be a clean sheet!

So Duncan chose to be in the low post this time, wanting to attack directly from the low post that he is good at.

Although Shay has the Strange Strength Male badge that "increases his strength when defending against back hits", he was still given a deep position by Duncan.

At the same time, the Admiral got the basketball and was ready to continue playing with Duncan.

At this point, Duncan had Shay completely behind him and could receive the ball safely.

As long as he can catch the ball, Duncan is confident to end the attack in this position!

Even Shay can't stop him in this position!

To be honest, Shay also knew that in such a close position to the basket, he would definitely be scored by Duncan.

Now, conventional means no longer work.

But Shay suddenly remembered that Rodman had also made a steal that he had been completely stuck behind by his opponent.

So, at the moment when the Admiral passed the ball, Shay jumped out directly from behind Duncan, and intercepted the ball directly with a goalkeeper save!

This kind of steal method is only suitable for people who are extremely accurate in judging the timing of the steal.

And it just so happens that Shay and Rodman are such people!

Duncan couldn't believe that Shay hadn't let himself get the basketball, and in such an unbelievable way!

And this is already Shay's sixth steal of the game!

Shay, who was lying on the ground, immediately passed the ball to Finley, who was closest to him, and then slowly stood up and shook his finger at Duncan behind him:

"You can't score a goal, I said you can't score a goal!"

Finally, Finley assisted on the follow-up of Stephen. Jackson countered and scored a layup, and the Lakers led by 13 points!

The Spurs finally saw a little hope, but they were dragged into hell by Shay!

As Barkley puts it, "See? I said a long time ago that he would send all his opponents to hell! ”

At this point, the Spurs basically have no chance of winning.

Although after a play, Duncan finally received the basketball and caused a foul on Shay.

But it is clear that even if Duncan hit two free throws, the Spurs, who are still behind by double digits, will not be able to recover.

But.

Do you think Shay would let Duncan go like that? Will it make it easy for him to hit two free throws?

Duncan stood at the free-throw line and had just slapped the ball when he heard Shay talking from the side.

Holy City 21's paralyzed face twitched, and after that, Duncan's first penalty was actually . Pop up!

Although Duncan is a big basic skill, he is a player who has reached the full level in college, and his skills are very mature in all aspects.

But there is still a downside to Duncan's scouting report, and that shortcoming is his free throws.

Of course, Duncan's free throws are certainly much better than the likes of the Sharks and Big Ben, but his career free throw shooting rate of less than 70% is really not particularly stable.

The nerd's entire career free-throw shooting percentage is only 1% higher than Mutombo's.

However, Duncan rarely missed two free throws, and all fans were expecting Duncan's second free throw to break the scoring drought.

But in Shay's evil smile, Duncan's second penalty actually popped out of the frame!

At this moment, the "Postman Doesn't Go to Work on Sunday" spell seems to be the séance stadium again!

All the Spurs fans covered their heads with their hands, and Duncan missed two free throws, which means that in the last 9 minutes of the game, this perfect No. 21 was stunned and didn't score a point!

Everyone looked at Shay, he could defend Duncan in the athletic battle, but . How did he get Duncan to miss two free throws?

What exactly did he say to Tim. What did Duncan say!?

Mutombo grabbed the rebound and gave the ball to Shay.

Beside Shay, Duncan was unresponsive. Shay, on the other hand, was like a quarter, throwing the ball forward with one hand, and assisting Finley to attack easily again.

Basketball into the net, 15 points difference. The Lakers slaughtered the first place in the West and ended the game!

And Duncan, Spurs fans noticed that he hung his head, in stark contrast to the smug Shay.

This is the first time that Spurs fans have seen such frustration in Duncan! No matter how perfect a big man is, he will fall under Shay's devastation!

Not long after the Spurs' baseline ball was released, the game was over.

104-89, when everyone thought that today was the death date of the Lakers, and everyone thought that the Spurs could go 2-0 at home. The Lakers used a 15-point difference to win the first place in the West!

Tied the series at 1-1 on aggregate!

After the game, Shay grinned and made a "goodbye" gesture to Duncan, and then hugged his teammates.

The camera was given to Duncan again, who had always been expressionless, but at this time, he seemed to be a frightened girl, and his stiff face was a little more panicked.

Without a doubt, this match was the first darkest moment of Duncan's career.

This flawless "place" was ruthlessly broken by Shay! Shay became the first man to conquer Duncan!

This guy who was at full level as soon as he entered the alliance has never experienced such a setback as today.

In the last 9 minutes of the game, Duncan was stunned and didn't score a point, and even missed two free throws at the end, so he could only watch the team being slaughtered.

Duncan looked up and looked at Shay. Is this the basketball Jesus? It was as if he was really in control!

Popovich was puzzled, what did Shay say to Duncan in the end? Can Duncan miss two free throws?

You must know that Duncan studied psychology in college, and he has excellent psychological quality, and it is almost impossible to be mentally engaged.

Also curious were reporters, so as soon as Duncan walked into the players' tunnel, a reporter couldn't wait to ask:

"Tim? Why did you get a pointless in the last nine minutes of the day? Also, what did Shay say to you when you made a free throw!? ”

At this time, Duncan heard Shay's voice from the stereo on the field.

Apparently, reporters on the scene were also asking Shay this question.

So, Shay replied fifteen-tenth:

"I just told him: you're great, the future is yours! But now, at this moment, it's mine after all! ”

Through the sound of the scene, Shay repeated the words again.

At that time, Duncan was in a hurry when he had not scored, and Shay had been spewing trash talk, which made Duncan even more irritable. And the last sentence "the future is yours" completely messed up Duncan.

Duncan tilted his head to the reporter.

The psychology bachelor sighed, then asked:

"Shay also studied psychology in college?"

A perfect, considered unbeatable big man, was cleaned up by Shay today!

And the first place in the West with 40 wins in the regular season and is considered to be a cut above all other teams, was won by the Lakers by 15 points today!

So is there anything else in this world that Shay can't beat?

Barkley looked at Shay, who was celebrating the victory, and summed up today's game with one last sentence:

"When everyone thought the Lakers were finished, unsurprisingly, a miracle happened!

Shay had 42 points, 14 assists and 6 steals in the game, and he tortured the Spurs twin towers to death!

What about the first place in the West? Shay will also be helpless in front of him!

This victory is predestined, because Shay has overcome so many difficulties along the way, and he will not be stopped by this little difficulty in front of him. He has just waited for Mutombo to come back, and he will never be out so easily!

This victory is the result of all the hard work, patience, trust and waiting of the Lakers this season!

Don't blink at the audience, this is just the prologue to the Black Eight Miracle! ”

On this night, the Alamo Dome witnessed a miracle.

But Spurs fans at this time certainly can't think of it.

They will also be here to witness the culmination of miracles!
