Ma Long's original plan was to show off after the opening to shock his opponent and show his majesty as MVP.

Ma Long did what he said, and really showed off a wave at both offensive and defensive ends!

First, the offensive end shot was bloody, and then it was brutally dunked by Shay.

Is this still the regular season MVP? This is clearly competing with Duncan for the MVP of the background board!

Inside the Energy Solutions arena, the boos have begun to fade.

They were expecting Malone to beat the Lakers, but what they saw was that Malone was beaten by the Lakers.

Cal. Ma Long is naturally very unconvinced, as the saying goes, a strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, you are deliberately embarrassing me on my territory!

The gangs in Los Angeles are so rude!

In that case, then don't blame me for being rude!

The angry Malone naturally wanted to be ashamed, so this round he continued to lean on the big ball in the low position, bound to regain face.

A mere undrafted loser dared to break ground on my MVP head.

There has never been a precedent in the world for an MVP to be suppressed by a failed draft!

Lao Tzu wants you to know how terrible it is to anger the MVP!

Stockton hoisted the ball to Malone in the inside position, and Allan Brown. Houston pulled Shay to the right side, making it impossible for Shay to go to the low post to pinch Malone.

Malone got a one-on-one opportunity with Big Ben for the time being.

Most of the time, Malone can play one-on-one with the opponent's No. 4 position, which means that the offense is basically stable.

But in the face of Big Ben, Malone didn't dare to shoot directly. Big Ben's bullet speed and ability to judge the timing of the block, Malone has just tried it out, and it is really not easy to mess with.

Therefore, after Ma Long shook his shoulders this time, he turned around and burst into the inner line!

And in the process of turning around and breaking through, he gave Big Ben an elbow on the way, so that Big Ben knew the end of annoying himself!

But Marlon found out after a while. Big Ben's footsteps were nimble and still clinging to his side, and he couldn't get any space!

Ma Long's shoulder shaking and turning and elbow swing just now are of no use to Big Ben at all!

MVP's self-esteem was trampled on again, and what men were most afraid of was trying their best to output, but the other party did not react.

Cal. Malone felt that his shoulder swing was very confusing, and his elbow swing was even more destructive.

But. This explosive head lost the draft, but he didn't lose his position at all!

It can only be said that Malone mentioned a steel plate today.

First of all, Big Ben's extremely fast movement speed made Ma Long's back turn ineffective at all.

Secondly, Big Ben may be the thickest man in the league, and it is estimated that only the combination of Arenas and Morant in the backcourt can cause him substantial damage.

Therefore, turning his back + swinging his elbow is simply too easy to defend against Big Ben.

Under Big Ben's close defense, Karl. Malone didn't get up to speed or jump enough.

So he jumped up and dunked with both hands, and was directly slapped by Mutombo, who was back to the basket, and Malone was also directly knocked to the ground.

After completing the block, Mutombo still stared at Malone on the ground and asked in his unique smoking gun voice: "Hey MVP, what are you doing on the ground?" ”

Cal. Malone was lying on the ground and had already begun to think "Who am I?" Where am I? What am I doing? "Such esoteric questions.

As the MVP, he not only failed to succeed in revenge this round, but also did not let his opponent experience the wrath of the MVP.

Instead, he was directly knocked to the ground!

This is even more humiliating than just being shot by Big Ben!

The shame just now has not been washed away, but Marlon has let himself fall into a situation of humiliation and humiliation!

Salt Lake City fans covered their faces, embarrassed for Malone.

Shay smiled, the Lakers' fast-and-high interior defensive combination was too restrained by Malone.

Malone shoots the middle distance outside, and is easily disturbed by Big Ben.

Break through, and it's hard to climb over the mountains of Africa.

Relying on Mutombo's block, the Lakers fought back again, and Billups assisted Finley to score an easy layup to take a 4-0 lead in the opening game.

Shay also stretched out his hands at Ma Long, who had just gotten up from the ground: "When will you let me feel the anger of the MVP, Carl, I can't wait." ”

Mutombo chimed in: "Don't worry, Shay, Malone almost performed a slam dunk after a ground slide just now." ”

Shay and Mutombo sang and harmonized, leaving Marlon with no face.

But Marlon knows no matter how stupid he is, and he knows that he can't be rash now.

No matter how stupid he is, he also knows that Big Ben and Mutombo's interior defensive combination is not easy to mess with.

If you continue to attack, you will only be beaten more and more.

This round, it's time to give your teammates some chances.

So, after Malone and Stockton played a block in this round, they gave Alan . Houston made an off-ball screen.

While blocking Shay, Carl. Malone also stretched out his furious iron elbow and slammed it Shay.

Shay was half a beat slower to chase because of this, and Alain. Houston also got a fleeting open pitch.

Although Shay still blocked as quickly as possible, the accuracy of the CIC king was not covered.

Alan. Houston seized the slightest shot gap and took advantage of the fleeting opportunity to successfully shoot the ball!

The Jazz's scoring drought was finally broken. Malone also breathed a sigh of relief.

But just as Malone was triumphantly preparing to hit back at Shay with trash talk, Shay was the first to speak:

"What's going on, Carl? Why does Ace feel that a small guard who has not been in the All-Star, has not been in the All-Star team, and has not won any personal honors is tougher than you as an MVP? ”

Shay's words made Ma Long instantly complacent.

Yes, he is the leader of the team, and he was either taken off or deducted at the beginning.

To break the scoring drought, you have to rely on the shooting of the three masters, which makes you softer!

Who is the MVP who needs to rely on his teammates to solve the problem? And Malone didn't directly assist Houston this wave, he just made a block.

Ma Long, who wanted to be stunned, didn't speak, and the huge shame made him want to find a hole to get into.

But the cruelty of basketball is here, no matter how shameful it is, you have no way to escape.

Either they will continue to be executed publicly, or they will fight with their opponents to regain their dignity.

Cal. Malone pinned his hopes on this positional defense, I can't score, and that can't let Shay score!

It's embarrassing for one person not to score, but if everyone doesn't score, you won't feel that way.

This is the first game of this game for the Lakers and the Jazz to play positional offense.

In charge of defending Shay is Brian, who is famous in history for being the backdrop for Jordan's last shot. Russell.

Don't look at the most famous shot of Russell's career is being shaken down by Jordan and then killed, but in fact, Russell has always been a defensive striker.

Otherwise, the Jazz would not have used him to target Jordan in the original history.

But there are exceptions in history, and some teams just like to use defensive people to play against the opposing team's leading stars.

For example, Barria vs. GOAT.

Shay ran off the ball to the right mid-range position and prepared to play the ball singles. Russell also immediately wanted to stick to the defense.

But Big Ben made a sideways block and set up an off-ball cover for Shay.

Seeing this, Carl. Malone immediately changed his defense, ran to Shay and hit it hard, knocking Shay directly away from the position where he was about to catch the ball!

Malone just wanted to use a rough confrontation to tell Shay that the Jazz's defense was not the same as the two previous softball teams.

If you dare to break in, you will have to pay the price!

However, Shay wasn't bluffed by Malone's rough defense.

I saw that Shay quickly regained his footing, and then used a two-and-a-half-year practice of the top shoulder movement to smack Karl hard. Marlon's chest.

Malone was pushed back at that time, and his chest was stuffy and he couldn't speak. Shay's top is more powerful than Ma Long just now!

Again, Malone was so deflated that he was deflated by his whole work!

Since the start of today's game, he has been deflated at the basketball level.

Even the confrontation suffered!

After clearing Malone, Shay received a pass from Billups and finished off with a slick turnaround jumper.

6-2, Malone personally defended Shay and failed to change anything.

He was expecting a round to regain his face, but it ended in defeat!

Salt Lake City fans have also seen how powerless their MVP is when defending Shay.

Salt Lake City Scene, Marvin. Albert summed up the opening rounds with one sentence:

"This is not a confrontation at all, Shay is completely teaching Malone how to be a qualified MVP!"

Cal. Malone is really closed off at this point, and his proud offense is doing nothing under the defense of Big Ben and Mutombo.

And the intensity of the confrontation he was proud of was still painless in Shay's opinion.

It's like a man confidently pulling out his most powerful weapon, but in exchange for a contemptuous smile from the other party.

It's self-evident how humiliating this feeling is.

Malone doesn't know what to do now, and after the start, he's done everything he's good at, but to no avail.

And Shay, he seemed to see through Ma Long's thoughts, and deliberately smiled:

"What's wrong, Carl? That's how you ended my time? Just by that gentle bump?

You're not going to be able to do anything about me, are you? You must not have started to get serious yet, have you? ”

Shay's crazy taunts upset Malone.

So much so that this time the attack, Malone was giving Alan . When Houston set up an off-ball screen, he deliberately moved two steps hard to Shay's side, trying to knock Shay directly over.

I don't allow you to despise MVPs so much!

But unfortunately, Ma Long's plan still failed to succeed.

He did hit Shay, but the strong Shay was not directly knocked down by Malone, but was bounced out of the way a few steps. Moreover, Malone was also blown by the referee to move and block it!

Ma Long was too purposeful just now, and it was clear that he was going to Shay's people, and he moved two big steps sideways to collide with Shay.

With such an obvious moving block, the referee can't blow it.

Let's just say that Carl. Malone is a player who really gave birth to the wrong era.

With this hand-moving blocking and dismantling technique, if he can join the Warriors in the small-ball era, then he can mix two or three rings.

Malone's mobile blocking, not only failed to retaliate against Shay, but also led to a direct exchange of balls.

dignified MVP, but the opening is not enough to succeed and more than to lose!

Although Salt Lake City fans are very reluctant to admit it, in front of Shay

Ma Long, this MVP, feels really good!

After that, Malone tried several more attacks, but all of them ended in failure.

The defensive combination of Big Ben + Mutombo is indeed too restrained by Ma Long.

The 99-year Jazz in the original history originally wanted to dominate the league after Jordan retired.

As a result, in the Western Conference semifinals, he was defeated by the Trail Blazers 4-2.

The reason for this is that the Trailblazers are too strong inside.

Roaring Tianzun's speed + Sabonis's stability, forcing Karl. Malone scored just 20.2 points on 43 percent shooting in the series.

In contrast, the Jazz have a couple of outside lines, Brian. Russell, Hornacek and Stockton shot 43.7 percent, 50 percent and 45.1 percent, respectively.

It can be seen from this how badly Ma Long was guarded in that round. He's an inside lineman, and his shooting percentage isn't as high as that of his outside teammates.

So the second Jazz elder has not had no chances, and he has not been pressed by Jordan all the time.

The key is that I didn't see them win the championship when Jordan was away.

And the Lakers' current interior defensive lineup is almost a copy of the 99 Trail Blazers in the original history.

No, the enhanced version!

Big Ben's mobility is stronger than that of Roaring Celestial, and Mutombo's frame protection ability is even more historically strong.

How else do you think Malone can play this ball?

His favorite style of play is to keep blocking and moving, find an opportunity and then "snap" an iron-blooded big jump shot to easily score two points.

But if there is a person who can follow him at any time and can still fight against him, Ma Long will play very uncomfortable, and his weakness of not being strong enough to attack alone will be infinitely magnified.

In this way, the first quarter of the game played in the seventh minute, and the Lakers had the ball.

Shay called Big Ben to cover from beyond the three-point line, then walked to the top of the arc with the ball in hand, ready to shoot.

Brian. Russell was blocked by Big Ben, and the angry Karl . Malone immediately prepared to change his defense.

But Big Ben also blocked Ma Long's route to change defenses, and if Ma Long wanted to bypass Big Ben and interfere again, it would definitely be too late.

Kekar. Malone really didn't want to let Shay shoot easily, so he chose . Heavy shoulders directly knocked over Big Ben to rush to Shay! This simple and crude anti-blocking and dismantling method is estimated to be in the 90s without being blown foul.

But when Malone hurriedly knocked over Big Ben and pounced, he saw that Shay was not in a hurry, but was deliberately waiting for him to arrive, and Shay threw the ball in the face of interference!

Shay deliberately had a big vacancy and didn't vote, so he had to set up Marlon's face!

There is no doubt that Shay's actions were provocative.

Malone is angry, Shay, don't go too far!

He jumped to his feet and tried as much as he could to interfere with Shay's shot.

On the surface, Marlon's interference seems to be very tight.

But in reality, Shay had already made the shot before Malone could pounce on him. Therefore, Malone's interference did not bring any substantial interference to Shay.

So as soon as Malone landed, he heard the sound of "brushing".

Shay successfully set up Malone and scored 9 points in the first half of the game!

On the other hand, Carl. Ma Long, he played in the first quarter until now, and still hasn't scored a point!

This extremely humiliating appearance made Malone completely autistic.

Sloan also hurriedly suspended the game, because after this three-point shot, the Jazz also trailed the Lakers by 9 points.

After only half a quarter, the Jazz are at risk of being stretched to double digits!

Today's first game of the Western Conference finals is completely different from what the Jazz players expected!

Shay is literally playing with MVP!

Malone sat on the bench, out of breath.

He looked up and noticed that most of the fans in the Energy Solutions arena were staring at him with disappointment.

Indeed, what Malone has shown so far today is simply a war criminal-level performance.

Even if he is just an ordinary star, his performance today is completely unreasonable, let alone that he is still an MVP.

However, Malone is not completely desperate.

He still has a chance!

When Big Ben is replaced, there will be no one to restrain him anymore.

It doesn't matter, it's just 4 shots and 0 hits now, and the hit percentage still has a chance to hit.

Sure enough, after the pause came back, Carl. Malone was delighted to find that Big Ben had been replaced!

In his place is Rodman, who has been away from the field for a long time!

Seeing Rodman on the court, Jazz fans and Lakers fans, both sides were very happy.

I just don't know who will rejoice in the end.

Jazz fans believe that Rodman is quite old and has experienced a major injury, and his strength must have declined seriously.

Lakers fans believe that the comeback of Rodman, the demon king of the world, can make Carl. Malone was even more painful.

After Rodman came on the court, he first high-fived Shay: "It's been a long time since we have done sabotage together!" ”

Shay looked disdainful: "Don't talk nonsense, I'm here as a player." Hey, I'm not going to see Carl. Malone scored easily, not once. ”

Rodman showed his long-lost evil smile, and then looked at Malone confidently, as if he was facing not an MVP, but a little kid:

"Don't worry, this little thing can't help me as a genius!"

The game continues, Carl. Malone has reached the point where he has to do something to prove that he is not a soft egg.

He looked at Rodman, whose hair was dyed pink, and began to mentally calculate his next scoring plan.

Be sure to take advantage of Ben's absence to get your face back!

Rodman stepped forward and slapped Mallon's ass hard:

"Hello, the worst MVP in history."

"" Malone gritted his teeth, who would have thought that Rodman would stab him in the chest as soon as he came up.

"Seriously Karl, you can win the MVP not because you're superior, but because Shay missed most of the season.

Admit it, Carl, your MVP was just a fluke.

You don't deserve it at all! ”

Malone tried to intimidate Rodman with a yell: "Shut up, you bastard, or Lao Tzu will be rude to you!" ”

But how could Rodman be afraid of this, the more anxious the opponent, the more refreshed he was.

"Shut up? You've got to show the strength to shut me up. Someone like you who has the good fortune to pick up the MVP but is still complacent, who the cares about you. ”

Rodman kept using the "fluke MVP" to stimulate Malone's already fragile nerves.

His heart-attacking tactics have worked wonders, and Ma Long, who has already accumulated too many negative emotions, can no longer stand a bastard pointing fingers at him.

So Malone didn't continue to talk trash with Rodman, but directly smashed an elbow on Rodman's chest, trying to make Rodman scared.

Ordinary people may be frightened when they see Malone elbowing him.

The admiral saw Marlon elbow and could even see his grandmother.

But Rodman saw Marlon elbowing, and what he saw was opportunity!

As soon as Malone's elbow touched Rodman, and before he could fully exert his strength, Rodman directly raised his arms and fell back exaggeratedly!

Immediately afterward, the whistle sounded throughout the audience.

The Jazz just kicked the sideline ball and were blown an offensive foul, and the Lakers had the ball!

After Ma Long heard the referee's decision, he rushed directly to the referee: "What are you doing!?" I'm just stuck in a normal slot! ”

In the chaos, Rodman immediately got up and applauded in Ma Long's ear: "The referee is really discerning, hahahaha." ”

"Fuck, Dennis, can you get out of here!?"

"You've already committed two offenses against Carl, guess which of us should get out of the way?"

As soon as Rodman's words came out, Malone could only suppress the anger in his heart and obediently defend himself.

After all, if he commits three fouls in a single quarter, he won't have to play this game.

In fact, Rodman felt that if he started, Malone could have committed four fouls in the first quarter.

Big Ben's kid is still too sincere, and he would rather resist damage than pretend to fall to the ground.

Not to mention anything else, just now Malone directly crashed into Big Ben's cover to interfere with Shay's defense. This is to be replaced by Rodman, and Malone will definitely not be able to escape a defensive foul.

Cal. Ma Long's mentality was completely blown up, and he finally survived to the end of Big Ben, thinking that he could easily handle Rodman, but who knew that he was killed by that pink-haired bastard instead!

As the MVP, he is still making negative contributions on the court!

As the team's second-in-command, Stockton is also well aware of how dangerous the situation is.

If the first quarter is for the Lakers to stretch the margin to double digits

That team's morale will fall directly to the bottom, and it will be difficult to recover this whole game!

Now Carl. Ma Long can't protect himself for the time being, and he definitely can't count on him.

Stockton decided to step up and slow Shay's attack.

Shay was again close to the Jazz halfcourt, and Karl Murphy was close to the Jazz halfcourt. Malone, the MVP, looks so helpless.

He had been tortured like a walking dead and had a nervous breakdown.

Brian. Although Russell was engrossed, he was easily thrown away by Shay's change of direction and acceleration.

Shay slashes diagonally towards the basket, and Carl. Malone no longer dares to help defend the basket because of too many fouls. Forster was held back by the mountains of Africa.

Just when Shay thought that there was no obstacle between himself and the basket, the seemingly weak Stockton appeared under the basket!

At this point, Shay actually had time to pass the ball to Billups from beyond the three-point line.

But Shay wondered, what could Stockton do with himself?

The probability of forcing a goal through Stockton is higher than the probability of Billups shooting three points in the open position.

So, Shay didn't pass the ball and continued to go straight to the basket!

But at the moment when Shay started to take his own breath, Stockton, who was standing in place, turned sideways and used his shoulders and elbows to slam Shay towards him! This action is very damaging, and it is very likely that in the case of serious injury to the opponent, it will also get an offensive foul!

Now, know why most NBA players hate Stockton, right?

His tricks are not as bright as Malone's, and he just does it with a wave of his elbow.

Stockton often disguises himself as a victim and does the most vicious things.

Just that action, if you break the ribs and cause the ribs to insert into the lungs and other organs, it is very likely to directly end a player's career or even threaten his life!

Fortunately, Shay noticed that Stockton made a small move and slowed down urgently, so that he was not seriously injured.

But Shay was so topped by Stockton that the whole person was directly sideways in the air, completely losing his center of gravity.

Stockton was secretly proud, so the referee either blew Shay for an offensive foul or Shay missed a layup.

In short, the Jazz can't be down by double digits anymore and can get a respite.

However, Shay threw the ball onto the rebound with one hand, almost parallel to the ground.

Then when he hit the ground, Shay's knee went straight to Stockton's head!

In the next second, the sound of the Nets tumbling and Stockton's screams came at the same time.

Shay hit a layup despite being violated!

As for Stockton, he was seen rolling on the ground in pain with his head in his hands.

Dark red blood poured out of the cracks between his fingers like a mountain spring!

Shay didn't just score a goal, he punished an extremely shady Stockton!

Two flowers!

Stockton wanted Shay to see blood, but Shay gave him a taste of blood instead.

Today, both Malone and Stockton have been rude to Shay.

But the result was that both were killed by Shay!

Malone originally wanted to rely on the intensity of the confrontation far beyond the Spurs and the Suns to make Shay sink into the sand.

Who knew that after Shay began to increase the intensity, Jazz was a little unbearable!

The Jazz team doctor immediately stepped in to help Stockton stop the bleeding.

Because the referee didn't blow for a foul just now, Shay's goal was valid.

This means that the Lakers took a double-digit lead in just half a quarter!

The MVP who was beaten autistic, Stockton, who was fired, was opened in the first quarter.

Salt Lake City fans were hoping that Malone would make history, but now they realized that Malone didn't make history by beating Shay, not by leading the team to the Finals.

It's the worst MVP in history!

Shay looked at Stockton lying in a pool of blood and the double-digit point difference, but he was not relieved.

This is not enough, he must make Malone have nightmares as soon as he thinks of this MVP!

So, Shay turned his head and looked at Ma Long, who was already at a loss:

"Hey, Carl. Let's hope you haven't crashed yet, after all, we still have a full three-and-a-half-quarter game to go! ”

Malone swallowed his saliva, yes, this game is already so torturous, but it's only been half a quarter!

At this time, the trembling Karl. Malone just wanted to go up to Stern and ask him a question:

"Can this MVP trophy be transferred to Shay!?"

Malone would rather not want this MVP than be tortured by Shay and the Lakers anymore!

That devil is extremely cruel!

Malone now finally knows that the highest honor in this league is not MVP.

It's because Shay won the MVP, and the MVP is the highest honor.

And others take the MVP

MVP is going to be a torture!

Shay continued to pick up his blood-stained butcher's knife, eager to try.

King of the Alliance, no mercy!
