330: The most humiliating Western First in history, the means of the Green Devil!
Shay scored his 45th point of the game with an extreme air catch in the last 1.7 seconds!
The moment the basketball jumped into the hoop, it was as if the whole of Los Angeles was in an earthquake!
Although fans in Los Angeles could only watch live TV today, fans could still feel the excitement and joy coming from inside the Alamo Dome.
For the first time in NBA history, the Division 8th defeated the Division 1st in the first round! For the first time in the history of the NBA, someone was able to create the Black Eight Miracle!
The team with the best regular season record this season was eliminated in the first round of the playoffs!
The Lakers, who were previously thought to have only a 0.1% chance of entering the playoffs, are now not only in the playoffs, but also going to the Western Conference semifinals!
David. Stern is completely desperate, he can make the Celtics unscathed throughout the 90s, but he can't stop Shay from doing miracles!
At the game, Popovich sat on the bench, still replaying the picture that had just happened.
He didn't know how Carlisle dared to set up such a tactic, because it was simply gambling!
It was indeed a gamble, and Carlisle knew that Pippen would definitely chase Shay next, and Shay would have a hard time getting a chance to catch the ball.
Instead of fighting hard, it is better to take the sword off the beaten track and kill the spurs by surprise.
It's just that what Carlisle didn't expect was that at the moment when Shay ran back, Duncan could react so quickly and make up for the basket in time.
I have to say that Duncan's defensive ability is indeed quite terrifying.
The moment he saw Duncan jump up to grab the ball, Carlisle was actually mentally prepared to play overtime.
But what I didn't expect was that Shay was interfered with by Duncan, and he still completed such a difficult air pick-up lore!
What else can Carlisle say? A player of Shay's level is made to create miracles!
Popovich sat on a stool, looked at the Lakers players who were celebrating, and then put his hands over his head. In this lively stadium, Popovich, who was covering his head, looked extremely lonely. At this time, he was not at all like a shrewd coach, but just a helpless old man.
Popovich is well aware that this is the Spurs' best chance to win the first championship in team history.
Because the Spurs' lineup is very old, except for Duncan, the others are all old men who are approaching retirement age.
Men are no better than women, and when men are over 30, their bodies will only get worse year by year.
The competitiveness of the team will also get worse and worse every year.
So next season, when the regular season returns to a long 82 games, the aging Spurs may not be able to play better than this, and they may not have a better physical reserve than this.
This is the closest championship window to the Spurs, and this window was ruthlessly closed by Shay!
The Spurs' ambitious season ended in the first round of the playoffs.
With 40 wins, they lost to eighth in the West. It is not difficult to imagine what a blow Popovich suffered.
The gap between reality and his expectation is too much.
Duncan was still lying on the ground, looking at the No. 23 who raised his arms and roared, and his heart was shocked or shocked.
Duncan didn't even know how Shay managed to put the basketball in the hoop when his body was completely unbalanced.
When the nerd was still in college, Shay's war with Jordan was the theme of the entire basketball world.
At that time, Duncan fantasized from time to time about what it would be like to actually compete with these two one day.
Now, he has the answer.
The feeling of competing with Shay is just one word - helplessness.
No matter how hard you try, no matter how perfect you are.
Shay is always able to get you done in all sorts of weird ways!
Before the air off the lever, just the limit of the air connection. Who else but Shay can do both in one game?
Duncan sat on the ground, fists clenched.
It was the heaviest loss of his career, not only losing the playoffs, but also becoming the backdrop for the first Black Eight Miracle in history.
However, Dumb also secretly made up his mind - in this life, he will never let people complete the empty catch on top of his head, and he will never be a background board again!
At this time, the nerd still doesn't know that the days when he became the first person on the background board are still long.
In the next 21st century, as Shay can afford, the Spurs will be killed at least three times.
But no matter how many times he came, Shay held an irreplaceable place in Duncan's heart.
After all, as the saying goes, the person who took away you for the first time is always the most memorable.
No matter how young they are, no matter how many times they are killed, nerds will always remember that night in May 1999 and the story Shay had to tell.
The admiral stood in place, looking at Shay's back, completely stunned.
Well, now that he was blown up by Olajuwon, it was finally no longer the most humiliating thing of his career.
Because from today on, being hacked is the most shameful thing in his career!
Moreover, the Admiral's performance in the final moments of this game was nothing short of a disaster.
First, he missed Perkins and let Perkins hit the crucial three points to equalize the score.
Then under Shay's defense, he missed a key mid-range shot.
He literally buried the last chance of his career to win the championship with his own hands!
Looking at Shay, at Pippen, who was completely autistic like himself, the Admiral sighed.
Their group of stars is destined to be Shay's background board.
Speaking of which, in this history, Ewing, the only one of the four centers without a championship, took the ring instead.
And Olajuwon, who originally had the championship, and the general, have now won nothing.
Ewing has not actually gotten stronger than the original history, and neither have the Admiral and Olajuwon.
The only reason for this situation is that Ewing has a good thigh!
The Spurs players are starting to collectively emo, and the Lakers players are all extremely excited at the moment.
Black Eight Miracle, for the first time in history! This joy is even no less than the feeling of winning the championship!
They have never been favored, from a 0.1% probability of advancing to the playoffs, to the despair of having to face the first place in the West in the first round.
This Lakers team has been all the way, and every step has not been easy.
Once again, Shay turned the impossible into a possibility.
Once again, he challenged everyone's perceptions.
The champions from Los Angeles are proven to be determined and resilient, never afraid of tough opponents, only going from strength to strength!
From now on, the Black Eight Miracle is no longer just a fantasy, but a terrifying deed that someone has really done!
After Shay and Duncan hugged, the reporters also came up and couldn't wait to interview Shay:
"Shay, for the first time in history, the eighth in the West can beat the first in the West in the playoffs! Do you have anything to say!? ”
Shay yelled excitedly in front of the camera for a rare moment:
"I would say, anything is possible!
The media didn't think I was going to win, and the opponent didn't think we could win.
Now look at me, I'm going to the Western Conference Semifinals!
Those who are looking forward to the fall of the Lakers dynasty, I'm sorry, you have to continue to endure it! ”
Shay burst out all the emotions that had been suppressed in his heart!
This victory, I don't know how many people's faces have been swollen.
Stern, who was at the scene, looked at Shay, who was yelling passionately, and felt that he was simply being executed in public!
Of course, if it's just Black Eight, it's nothing.
But Shay's next words shocked the whole world:
"The Black Eight Miracle is just the beginning, get ready, I'm going to get what belongs to me back! Whoever stands in my way is all the end! ”
Something that belongs to him, no doubt, champion!
Shay doesn't just want black eight, he also wants to win the championship as the eighth in the division!
Of course, there has never been a precedent in the history of the NBA for a team in the bottom half of the NBA to win the championship.
But at this time, no one dares to question the Lakers anymore.
The Black Eight Miracle has proven that what others can't do, Shay can do!
So why not win the championship in the bottom half of the playoffs?
This Spurs team, with Tim. Duncan, Admiral and Pippen, with 40 wins in the regular season, are a true champion-level team. If the Lakers can beat them, what is impossible to beat other opponents?
No one dares to underestimate the defending champions anymore!
After a championship declaration, Shay was released from equipment manager Terry. Teague took the championship ring in his hand, put it on his five fingers, and raised his arms high!
Looking at the jealous and hateful gazes of the Spurs fans, Shay smiled contentedly.
Be jealous, hate, there's nothing you can do about anything else.
After all, I am destiny!
After the game, the Spurs press conference.
Tim. Duncan, a genius who has been a superstar since he entered the league, could only shake his head and sigh when asked about Shay's last empty pick:
"At that moment, I seemed to see the god of basketball descend from the sky. Shay, he's a magical guy who just disguised himself as the eighth in the West and made a lot of people forget that he was actually the biggest ruler of the 90s! ”
The clever Duncan, unraveling the disguise of Shay and the Lakers.
yes, they're just pretending to be the eighth in the West.
The real them, but a team that has just won three consecutive championships!
The day after the end of this game, the whole world was swept by the Black Eight Miracle.
All the newspapers of Quancho published the news on the front page.
This is no longer just a matter of the basketball circle, but has directly become a social event.
The emergence of the Black Eight Miracle has made the Lakers synonymous with "never give up", and the Lakers and Shay have attracted much attention.
Now, all-ugly fans are also curious to know how far the Lakers, the tenacious eighth in the West, can go.
The attention of the NBA, because of the Lakers' Black Eight incident, has also been qualitatively improved.
And Popovich, as the background board of the black eight, naturally exploded in another way.
Especially when he was so arrogant before the game, he was finally blackened eight, and everyone naturally wouldn't let go of that old man.
"It's true that none of the superstars of the '90s have seen the strength of the Spurs. After all, who remembers a one-round opponent? ”
"The Spurs have become the most unique Western Conference No. 1 in history, and no Western Conference No. 1 has ever failed to even make it past the first round."
Coach Popovich said that no matter how strong the eighth in the West is, it is also the eighth in the West. Now we can say that the defending champion, no matter how low the ranking is, is the defending champion! ”
And the happiest of them all is undoubtedly Ross Barkley: "If I played in this era, I would have won the championship." After all, a team that can't even get past the first round can actually be the first in the West. ”
The Spurs became the most embarrassing Western No. 1 in NBA history.
However, for the Spurs to be eliminated, there are also people who have different voices:
"That's because there were only five games in the first-round series, and if there were seven, the Spurs would have had the last laugh."
It's not a dead media that says this, and it's not a basketball commentator who doesn't know what to do.
Rather, Shea's next opponent, Rashid, one of the Three Musketeers of Phoenix. Wallace!
This boy in prison never knew what fear was.
As the king of eating T's this season, Rashid. Wallace continued his usual style, not afraid of heaven and earth.
Weber also expressed his attitude, although it was not as straightforward as the Roaring Heavenly Venerable, but his words also revealed his intention to take the metabolic Yi:
"How so? I certainly respect Shay's past accomplishments. But the world belongs to young people. ”
Of course, this kind of occasion is indispensable to the Suns coach, the cold-blooded, low-mouthed guy who made Bird say "I want to beat up that bastard sometimes" when he was a teammate when he was a player. Angie.
When Angie was interviewed by reporters, he laughed lightly: "We are not worried about losing to the Lakers, because we don't have generals who always pull their hips at critical moments." ”
Good guys, the reporter called good guys.
offended the two families in one sentence, and deserved to be the most lowly head coach in the league.
In fact, the Spurs and Suns have always had a feud, and there were clashes between the two sides during the regular season, when Popovich and Aangie also had a verbal fight.
So now seeing that the Spurs are eliminated by the eighth place in the West, Anji must have two sentences of yin and yang Spurs.
In the future, after becoming the general manager, Angie may be a little more low-key in terms of public speaking.
But now this head coach's version of Angie is still a villain who speaks without regard for people's feelings.
The generals are all self-contained, don't sprinkle salt on Lao Tzu's wounds anymore, okay!
That's it, now every pair of eyes is staring at the Lakers' next opponent - the Phoenix Suns!
Although the Suns were eventually overtaken by the Rockets this season and fell to fourth in the West, the Suns only lost 3 games this season with a full lineup!
Even the Lakers have not been able to win even a single game from the Suns with a full roster.
However, because Shay has already created the Black Eight Miracle, even the most daring Phoenix media at this time only dares to say one sentence: "The sun and the Lakers are five or five." ”
But the Suns players themselves don't seem to think so, and the statements of Angie, Webb and Wallace can be said to be quite arrogant.
However, with Shay's personality, he naturally wouldn't give a slut like Angie a good fruit to eat.
In this way, in the second round of the playoffs, the Suns and Lakers have just played four games, and it seems that the winner has been decided.
"3 to 1! The Los Angeles Lakers have got the match point!
The Black Eight Miracle, is it really going to continue!? ”
At the Great Western Forum, the magician looked at Shay, who scored 46 points today, and yelled with joy.
The shot is given to Danny. Anji, he frowned, a look of displeasure.
At this time, Anji's mental journey is estimated to be: laugh at the spurs, understand the spurs, and become a spur!
The Suns have a very strong roster this season, with the exception of Hill, Webb, and Rashid.
Defender line, Steve. Nash, a white Canadian defender, is also starting to make his mark.
For the past two years, Nash has been tepid as a small backup for the Suns, and even Shay has ignored his presence.
And in this history, because the Suns were not involved in the Kidd deal. So, Nash also stayed in Phoenix, and finally became the starting point guard halfway through this year's regular season.
Anji couldn't figure it out, how could it be opened 1 to 3!
The Suns' lineup is really strong, but there is one problem - the defense is too poor!
The defense, in particular, on the back line, was a disaster.
Nash and Rex. Chapman, the defense of the Suns' two white guards, is like the discipline of the online writer, almost negligible.
As a result, in the past four games, not only Shay has been very violent, but Billups and Finley have both raised their value.
Billups scored 18, 21, 24 and 16 points in four games.
Finley scored 21, 23, 15 and 25 points in four games.
Add Shay, and you can imagine how many points the Lakers have to score in a game.
Take today, for example, Billups has 16 points, Finley has 25 points, and Shay has 46 points.
The three of them together have already scored 87 points!
The Suns wanted to destroy the Lakers with their offense, but they were embarrassed to find that the Lakers attacked more fiercely than themselves!
The firepower of the Lakers' three outside lines is not inferior to the Phoenix Trident.
During the regular season, the Lakers, who actually had Shay, only played one game against the Suns. In that game, the Sun was really in too good shape and had a very good hand, so it was normal to lose.
However, the Suns can't be in that form every game!
In this way, 3-1, the Lakers easily got the match point and pointed to the Western Conference Finals!
Although the Suns are Barkley's former club, the current situation still makes Fliggy dance with joy:
"Danny. Anji, the bastard, thinks he can control everything, no, whether as a player or as a manager, he's just an insignificant supporting role! He's nothing!
As long as this team continues to be dominated by Danny. If Anji coaches for one day, the Suns won't win the championship in one day! ”
Barkley is not so much targeting the Suns as it is targeting Angie personally.
Barkley doesn't have much of an opinion about the Suns, but he's had a great time working with Angie before.
Angie wanted to straighten out Hill, but Barkley endured it again and again, but in the end, when Fliggy retired, Angie said this:
"We're taking another solid step towards the title because of a guy who lost points faster than he scored."
Anji, everyone knows that this cold-blooded demon has no feelings for his players. In this respect, he is better than Pat. Riley is also ruthless.
Fliggy took over with Anji, and complained about him in the show.
So now seeing that Angie was almost swept by a gentleman, Fliggy wanted to rush up and hug Shay and kiss them.
But, Danny. Angie is the kind of person who will give up easily.
According to Bird's recollection in his autobiography, when Angie came to the Celtics training ground on the first day to practice shooting, the shooting percentage was a miserable 0-2547!
Of course, Bird must have deliberately exaggerated. But it can also be seen from this that Anji shot a lot when he first entered the league.
As an outside player, Ange's rookie season shot an unbelievable 35.7 percent from the field.
But now when it comes to Anji, the evaluation of "good shooting" is almost universally recognized.
Anji's ability to counterattack depends on perseverance and never give up efforts.
This is one of the few virtues in this bastard.
He is not afraid of falling behind 1-3 all the way, in fact, he already has a plan in his bastard brain.
This master of mentality is ready to use some methods other than basketball to contain the Lakers.
Thank you for the tips from the big guys, thank you! Too good to be true, I'm back!
