371: Humiliation in all directions, you are weak to the point of softness

The showdown between Shay and Paul is undoubtedly the most high-profile match before the Christmas game.

1st in the West VS 2nd in the West, God of Point Guard VS Father of Point Guard.

On this cold winter night, the fans were undoubtedly happy, and the good shows were one after another.

I've just finished Delon, and now I'm Paul again.

However, even the Lakers fans themselves are a little worried about the final outcome of this game.

After all, the Hornets are the real No. 1 in the West and quite strong.

And the Lakers are still fighting back-to-back.

The competition is indeed not easy.

On the night after the game against the Jazz, the Lakers arrived in Louisiana exhausted.

When everyone arrived at the place, it was already early in the morning.

If you sleep so late, you have to play a high-intensity game tomorrow.

Anyone is worried about the state of the Lakers.

And Paul is already thinking about what kind of rough confrontation he will use against the Lakers tomorrow!

As a technical all-round point guard, Paul is a must in terms of basketball skills and pinching skills.

During the NCAA period, he was famous for his explosive egg saint, and at that time, this incident was so bad that Wake Forest University directly took the initiative to ban Paul before waiting for the league to punish him.

Paul is an extremely competitive man, so he can do anything to win on the field, even if it is hundreds of millions of lives on his back.

And the most terrible thing about Paul is that he doesn't distinguish between people and enemies, and he even does it himself in a hurry.

For example, in the 16 playoffs in the original history, he had to poke someone's waist when the Trail Blazers backup point guard Henderson made a layup, but instead poked his finger and fractured the season, and the 2-0 lead finally became a 4-2 reversal and elimination

Lao Li shouted that he was wronged, and I really don't blame me for being reversed this time!

Paul, this Nima is equivalent to a judgment in the country, and as a result, you throw river bombs on your own territory, and in the end it is yourself who is injured.

It can be seen that Paul is an absolute ruthless man on the basketball court, and he will not let go of himself, let alone let go of his opponent.

And he likes to attack the crotch area very much, which is extremely bad in nature.

It can be called the NBA cannon Aaron.

Such a ruthless man on the court, facing such an important game.

He's certainly not going to be honest in the game.

Paul's mind is now full of those evil blows, which are bound to make Shay's heart and body ache together!

In this way, the two sides had just entered the venue the next day, and the smell of gunpowder was already very strong.

Regarding Shay's sentence "As long as I am here, there will be only one top point guard in the league", Paul is naturally very unhappy:

"Shay can handle Delon, but not me. After all, the Jazz are only seventh in the West, but we are first in the West!

He doesn't really think that the Jazz are on the same level as us, right?

And soon, I'll show you why the Lakers can only be second in the West.

Again, I don't care if Shay is strong or not, I only live in Tim. Duncan's era. ”

Before the fight began, the leaders of the two teams choked each other quite violently.

Paul still looks like he doesn't have any respect for Shay, and winning the Lakers and Shay in the last game really made Paul gain a lot of self-confidence.

Compared to Paul, Maddie is much more low-key.

As a player who has won a championship, Maddie knows that it is not easy to win a championship.

Even if they formed a luxury lineup of themselves + Yao Ming + AK47 + Nowitzki back then, the Bulls only won one championship.

Shay, on the other hand, was able to win a full six championships, or six championships when the lineup on paper was not as bright as the Bulls.

This speaks volumes about Shay's terrifying prowess.

What's more, the last time they met, Maddie was also very uncomfortable by Shay.

So, Maddie wasn't going to die and squirt Shay.

However, Maddie's quietness did not ease Shay's mood.

Because Paul has always wanted to pull Maddie into the water as well.

Before the start of the game, Paul was very proud and deliberately shouted in front of Maddie:

"Hey Tracy, today we will show the strength of the number one in the west, otherwise others will think that the old man can come to touch us with stinky fish and rotten shrimp."

Maddie smiled awkwardly and looked at Shay, as if to say, "Brother Xie, you saw it, it's Paul, not me!" You'll be able to hold back your dead hand later! ”

And then

Then Maddie was cut off by Shay at the beginning!

In the first attack after the start of the game, Paul gave the ball to Maddie, who cut from the inside.

The reason why Maddie and Paul are so compatible is because Maizi is also a player with strong off-ball ability.

The reason why the big four quarterbacks are so Liu beep is because they are almost invincible on the offensive end.

From the frame to the back, from holding the ball to not having the ball, they are all proficient.

Not to mention Kobe Bryant and AI, two all-around scoring masters, Maddie and Carter, cousins, are also off-ball masters.

Carter currently has the most assisted-up three-point goals of any of the four, and it's the kind that widens the gap between the grades.

Maddy's current assisted-two-point goal is second only to Kobe Bryant, who plays a triangle offense, among the four quarterbacks.

None of the four quarterbacks have obvious shortcomings on the offensive end, so Maddie can adapt so quickly when he plays without the ball next to Paul.

After coming to the Hornets last season, Maddie scored 940 points after eating assists in a single season, which is almost half of the total points scored in a single season.

Relying on his height, Maddie often runs out on the back, and can directly pull out to finish the offense after receiving the ball.

But this time, Maizi just received Paul's pass, and before he could pull it out, the ball was slapped directly by Shay!

From receiving the ball to lifting the ball and shooting, this fleeting process, Shay was stunned to complete the steal, and Maddie was simply powerless.

Shay has temporarily topped the steals this season, and his steals have barely regressed from his then. So, stealing a Maddie is a no-brainer.

After the steal, Shay immediately countered and pulled up for a layup after hitting the penalty area to avoid Maddie's pursuit.

But just when Shay was about to make a move, he felt that someone pushed his waist hard from behind, causing him to lose his center of gravity directly and fall down from the bottom line!

Although the basketball still went into the net, Shay was choked after landing because of the loss of his center of gravity!

After Shay fell, he turned his head to look into the arena and found Paul with a harmless expression.

Sure enough, it was him!

And this is also the cheapest place for Pao'er, he is cheap and obedient, and he likes to pretend to be innocent the most!

It's actually some dirty work, and you have to say that you are a "tight anchor, don't chat privately" on the Internet.

Bah!

Paul's work is usually very hidden, so it is rarely discovered by the referees.

This has also become his capital to pretend to be innocent.

God knows what such a person and Green can do if they join forces.

When the time comes, one will attack the three roads, and the other will cut the three roads, and Brother Alphabet will have to buy a station ticket overnight to escape back to Milwaukee.

Shay looked at Paul's dirty and obedient appearance, and he was angry.

But he didn't say much, just silently got up and began to retreat.

He didn't complain to the referee, and he didn't directly clash with Paul.

Shay knew very well that the more angry and corrupt he was at this time, the more proud the bad people became.

Only magic can defeat magic, and Paul likes to play tricks? Then play with him today!

The game continued, and the Hornets attacked for the second time, and Paul did not pass the ball to Maddie again, but with David. West plays a pick-and-roll.

Paul and West's pick-and-rolls are self-evidently powerful and are the basis of all the Hornets' tactics.

Without helping Paul, Paul's breakthrough will be like a knife to the heart of the opponent.

Help defend Paul, David. West's mid-range is really stable, and this kind of point guard and No. 4 blocking and pick-and-roll coordination has been proven to be the simplest and most effective two-man tactic by Sloan veterans.

David West is the only two seasons in which he averaged 20 points per game, and the only two seasons in which he made it to the All-Star, were fed by the cannon because of playing with the guns.

A big forward like him, who has a steady mid-range shot, is simply too suitable for this tactic.

Randolph delayed Paul's breakthrough for a moment, and when Roy caught up, he immediately returned to West.

But as a result, Paul was still unguarded right in front of him.

Assist in other positions? It's even more impossible.

First of all, Shay can't let go of Maddie, and secondly, the Hornets' current No. 3 position, Rasol. Butler has shot nearly 40 percent from three-point range this season, so Elvis can't let him go and easily pinch Paul.

After all, Paul has the ability to spot teammates in open positions and deliver the ball right away.

So, Paul's breakaway after blocking is very difficult to defend. This time, he took the initiative to give Roy a confrontation, and then faced the birdman who came up from the defense, and scored the ball with a throw!

That's the scariest thing about this Hornets, you don't help defense, Paul's ability to score on his own is much better than Stockton, Kidd, Nash and the like.

You can help defend, and Paul can assist the whole team to shoot you through.

In the original history, when the Hornets were all healthy, they had a record of 56 wins, and they were one win away from reaching the Western Conference finals.

And in this history, the Hornets' full health continued into the 08-09 season, and Peja was replaced by Maddie.

Therefore, their strength is indeed very scary, and it is difficult to completely prevent it.

Paul is also waiting, waiting for the Lakers to start defending themselves.

That way, Paul will be able to play at his favorite pace and take the game away with efficient 20+10 stats!

After the Lakers turned their heads and attacked, Shay singled out Maddy. Although Maddie is a "Defensive Start Award" winner, it is also true that he has never been selected for the defensive team in his career.

Although the nerd has also suffered injustice, he has never won the DPOY in his life, but he has been in the defensive line for 13 consecutive seasons and has scored a total of 15 times in his career, which is enough to show how good Duncan's defense is.

And Maizi hasn't even defended once, and the defense can really only be regarded as a level that is not a hole.

During this period, the wheat was more willing to attack than defensively. Because if he defends too hard, the offensive end will be completely useless.

The biggest gap between Maizi and other top superstars is actually in physical fitness.

You can see him defensively on occasion, but it's often hard to sustain. To put it bluntly, his physical fitness can only support him to seriously defend a few key rounds.

So just now, when Shay hit Maddie on his back, Maddie's desire to resist was not particularly positive, and he didn't want to do his best to confront Shay, so that Shay could easily turn over and score.

Shay scored again, but Paul wasn't worried.

After all, he felt that if Shay didn't defend himself, then the Hornets' offense would be completely comparable to the Lakers!

This time, the Lakers will definitely flank themselves.

That's a chance to bloom more!

outcome

The Lakers are still strictly enforcing man-to-man defense this round!

Roy continued to defend Paul alone, Shay stayed by Maddy's side at all times, and Paul simply had no chance to pass the ball.

In desperation, Paul could only call for the pick-and-roll again and cooperate with West.

After borrowing the pick-and-roll, Paul scored on a mid-range jumper to make it 4-4.

Paul was a little surprised, the Lakers are really single-handed.

How? Didn't you blow up Roy badly enough in the last game?

Paul still doesn't believe that his score can't beat the Lakers!

He will definitely be able to force the Lakers to change their defensive formation!

I don't know if the Lakers' defense will change, but the offense is starting to change.

This time, it was Shay who attacked Maddie with the ball, but it was no longer a single, Shay was letting Randolph play with himself!

It's as if only you can play the block!

As soon as Fat Lan was in place, Shay immediately accelerated. Maddie was blocked and West was forced to switch defenses.

As a result, as soon as West changed his defense, Shay made a sharp stop and dribbled back to outside the three-point line. Meanwhile, Randolph sank into the low post and Maddie had to keep up.

So West was forced to switch out, and Shay successfully hit the list!

West was stunned, Nima. I'm not a member of Dream Eight!

Why is my name called?

Captain Xie, I'm actually my own person, my real name is actually Da Wenxi!

Shay points the list to hit David. West, naturally, not because of personal vendettas.

Rather, it is for some kind of tactical purpose!

Shay didn't make much of a fuss, just a seemingly ordinary change of direction, and he got West clean.

West's athleticism isn't top-notch, so there's nothing he can do to defend an outside player like Shay.

After passing West, Shay scored on a mid-range shot, and he had already scored 6 points in a row after the opening!

The Hornets saw Shay start with such a ferocious attack, so they prepared to start the pack.

As a result, Shay did not continue to play alone, but handed the ball to Randolph in the low post.

Let him continue to ravage West!

Randolph's flesh-and-bullet chariot leans on West's body, you don't care if the ball goes in or not, it will definitely squeeze West to death anyway.

Randolph sat back deeper, then rolled over and made a jumper to score again!

David. West is going to cry, why are they all targeting me!?

Hornets coach Byron. Scott was also a little incomprehensible, and the Lakers didn't pinch Paul on the defensive end, leaving him alone. On the offensive end, he looked for West for no reason.

The Hornets' defense is in the top 10 in the league this season.

The reason for this is that there is no position where the defense is particularly weak.

While Maddie, West, and Rasol. Butler isn't a defensive player, but he's by no means a hole on the defensive end.

West's defense is not bad, why do you want to play him?

Regarding the Lakers' decision, the former Lakers scoring champion said he couldn't understand.

At present, we can only continue to fight like this.

In this way, the two teams played the fierce game that the fans expected.

The scores of the two sides were extremely anxious, alternating their leads more than a dozen times.

On the Lakers' side, relying on the individual abilities of Shay and Randolph, they hammered West so much that they didn't even know him.

As for the Hornets, Paul failed to fully drive the whole team because of the restricted passing, but relying on his personal ability, he once again scored crazy points on Roy's head. Still able to bite the score.

During this period, in addition to Paul and Shay's scoring soaring with each other, the duel was also quite fierce in terms of small actions.

Paul hacked Shay more than once, such as breaking Shay's arm while Shay was grabbing the board.

For example, when Shay was fighting with him for floor ball, he stood up directly and kicked Shay's head with a football. Of course, that kick didn't hit, otherwise Paul and Shay would probably be out of the court a long time ago.

Shay also returned the favor to Paul a few times, showing off his wrestling and elbow skills to the fullest.

Even in the third quarter, the two almost clashed.

At that time, Paul went to break Shay's arm when Shay grabbed the board, Shay pretended not to stand firm after he landed, and directly hugged Paul and twisted him to the ground, and then Shay pretended to get up, but in fact pressed Paul's head to the floor and rubbed wildly.

Before the referee could come up to settle the matter, boxing champion Tyson took the lead in the clash and pushed Shay away.

As a result, in the next second, Barnes, who was also not easy to mess with, directly gave the boxing king a head hammer on his chest.

Maddie came up to help, but Randolph took Shay and Barnes behind his wide back.

Roy also stood up immediately at this time, his face was still expressionless, and he said something in the most bland tone that made everyone break out in a cold sweat:

"It's okay Zack, I'm going to see who dares to move again, and we'll settle it privately when the time comes."

Roy generally does not participate in conflict, and his personality is humble and steady. He doesn't even have a tattoo on his body.

But the whole league knows that Roy is one of the blackest players in the NBA, and the black here refers to the Hey Gang background.

Even when he plays away, he never goes to high-end clubs or bars, but always goes to the darkest and most mixed places in the local area.

The local gang gatherings have his boy every time, and no one dares to choose the princess first if he doesn't come.

In fact, most players with a Hey Gang background are very low-key.

Like Ross and Caron. Butler, too, is very low-key on the court, but has a background off the court.

Roy is really the master who can make a phone call every minute to help Shay settle things, no matter where he is.

And as we all know, the Free Rice Grain Family is still in the initial stage of a society governed by the rule of law, and there are some people you really can't mess with.

Roy's words made the whole Hornets charge in an instant.

They were all aggressive, and they all grabbed Paul, who had just been pressed to the ground and rubbed:

"Brother Pao forget it, the strong dragon still doesn't suppress the head snake, and he doesn't have the same knowledge as them."

Paul: .

No, it's clearly my territory! I'm the head snake,!

Lao Tzu was in his home field, and his head was pressed to the ground by him and rubbed, so forget it!?

This conflict ended with Paul suffering a big loss.

And these are just the tip of the iceberg of their crazy duel.

The game was played in the last four minutes of the fourth quarter with Shay and Paul scoring and elbowing each other.

The Lakers relied on another mid-range single from Shay to take a five-point lead, and his personal score was already 30 points.

Paul was out of breath, and this time it was much tougher to beat the Lakers than the last time.

The last time the Hornets won, although Paul scored 30+ points, that wasn't actually the key to the Hornets' win.

The key to the Hornets' win was that they played extremely efficient offense as a team, and Paul's playmaking skills were maximized.

While Paul scored 30+, he also drove the whole team.

But today, Paul is mostly carrying the team's offense on his own.

Because the Lakers have done the best of man-to-man defense, it hasn't changed for the whole game. No matter how Paul scores, the Lakers just don't help defense, or they are adamant about man-to-man marking, cutting off the connection between Paul and the others.

The worst being limited was Paul's biggest helper Maddie, who only scored 11 points so far today, and shot less than 40% from the field.

Shay's defense against Maddie today can be described as inseparable, and Maddie can't even receive the ball comfortably.

Singles Shay with the ball? That's even more fantastical.

Although the current Maddie has not played a closed knee, he is also no longer at his peak because of his back injury.

He's just not as thorough as in the original history, and it's just right to be the second master next to Paul.

But now with his current level of singles with the ball, there is nothing he can do with Shay.

This also makes Hornets fans feel quite helpless, Shay, who explored flowers in 91, has made the rookies of 97 years old!

Maddie is restrained by Shay, and Paul is equivalent to losing his biggest helper.

This left Paul with the ability to keep blocking and dismantling West, barely making ends meet.

This time offensively, Paul and West once again played a blocking and pick-and-roll cooperation.

Randolph was still the same as before, immediately blocking Paul, who broke through, and Roy also actively confronted, and the two worked together to bite Paul.

Paul made a pass back and expertly fed the ball to West.

West receives the ball and takes another mid-range shot. I thought that there would still be no problems with this cooperation, but West's seemingly easy shot came out of the frame under Randolph's interference!

After striking the iron, West began to retreat out of breath, and he finally began to feel tired after being targeted for singles for the whole game!

Deliberately consume West, that's why Shay and Randolph have been deliberately looking for him to play singles today!

And once West feels tired, his solid mid-range jumper becomes as uncertain as a woman's mood.

Overall, although West is at the No. 4 position, his shooting position is still too mid-range, and he is also a big forward with an iron-blooded jumper.

And this kind of big forward, from KG to Tianzun to Weber, has a common problem that cannot be solved - the offense is not stable enough at critical moments, and it is not enough to kill!

Carlisle secretly flails his fist, Maddie is locked up, and now that West's plan has paid off, Paul is helpless.

So next.

It's time to get the queen bee done!

After West struck the iron, Shay didn't give the Hornets a chance to breathe.

After Shay blocked and dismantled with Randolph this time, he directly pulled out a three-pointer!

Maddie struggled to get around the screen, but Randolph was really too big.

West thought that Shay was going to break through, so he stood behind Randolph and waited for the rabbit, who knew that Shay directly shot a three-pointer, and now he can't interfere at all.

The three-point shot after the block and dismantling went directly into the net, and the difference came to 7 points!

Byron. Scott hurriedly stopped the game, he looked at West, who was already out of breath, looked at Maddie, who was already autistic, clenched his fists, and gave a difficult order:

"Chris, increase the weight of individual singles! We need you to bite the score! ”

Byron. Scott knows what the Lakers are trying to do today, they just want to use the ultimate man-to-man defense to force Paul to play alone.

I'd rather let Paul score alone than let Paul lead the whole team.

Right now, when David. After West also started to hit the iron, Paul's contact with his teammates was really completely severed. Scott had no other way.

He can only plan and let Paul take over the game, hoping for Paul's personal ability!

Paul was stunned for a moment, but could only nod.

The whole Hornets were also silent, as if they were not 7 points behind, but 17 points behind.

Because anyone who plays basketball knows that when you let a traditional point guard go to the offense. It shows that the team has reached the point where it is helpless!

This No. 1 team in the West has been forced into a desperate situation!

At the end of the timeout, the whole Hornets team went on the court with a heavy heart.

Facing Roy, Paul didn't call for another pick-and-roll, but used a quick change of direction to open up a bit of space and then made a mid-range jumper.

Basketball went into the net, and Paul scored his 28th point of the day.

It seems that the Hornets still have the ability to compete with the Lakers to the end.

But then, Shay relied on a low-post back-to-back single to stretch the difference to 7 points again.

Maddie is a little unsettled, brother, I haven't been involved in the matter of Dream Eight!

Back then, I was purely young and frivolous when I was fighting for the boss with Da Yao, you wouldn't have trouble with my brother for this little thing, right?

But Shay didn't care about Maddie, who instead hooked his finger at Paul after scoring the goal:

"Are you just watching me score? Isn't it very powerful, why don't you dare to defend me alone?

I was pressed to the ground and didn't dare to fight back, and now I see that I have scored continuously, and I don't dare to come over to defend me?

You're such a piece of trash! ”

Paul was embarrassed to respond to the provocation, because he really couldn't defend Shay alone.

Although Paul has now made the All-Defensive Team, he only needs 183 after all.

He may be the best defensive of any point guard of this height, but by no means the best in the league.

No one is going to go crazy enough to have a 1.83m point guard play against Shay.

That's one of Paul's embarrassments – he's strong defensively, but not strong enough to support a defensive system.

He's not like Garnett, who can make the Celtics go crazy because of him.

Unlike Duncan, he can let the whole team block and put the side because of him.

He's not like Pippen and Jordan, not like James and Wade, who can press like crazy on the outside.

It's even more impossible to be like Shay, who can lock all the offensive arrows from the No. 1 to the No. 4 position alone.

Paul is one such player, he defends well on his own, but it doesn't mean enough to the team to change the level of overall defensive intensity.

Like now, watching Shay almost blow up Maddie's, there's nothing he can do.

Paul during the Clippers period may be able to defend Durant in a few rounds occasionally, but Paul has not fully gained weight during this period, and it is completely useless for him to go to Shay.

Paul was speechless in the face of Shay's provocation and only hoped to save face on the offensive end.

But this time, Paul's mid-range shot also popped out of the frame under Roy's active interference!

Roy, a tough guy, never lowered his defensive intensity from start to finish.

Others may be on the defensive end of the emo hang-up because they have been beaten too badly.

But Roy wouldn't, this guy who was moving boxes at the docks back then might really be just a dock worker if he gave up easily.

So even though he was beaten by Paul all the time, Roy's defensive enthusiasm was undiminished.

Paul gritted his teeth, the only attack he could save his dignity was now interrupted!

In fact, it has been difficult for Paul to score multiple times in a row on Roy's head today.

Each time, it will be broken at a maximum of two or three, and broken by two or three at most.

While the overall shooting percentage is still high, it's a critical moment when it needs to be attacked

By this time, the Hornets were already trailing by seven points, and with Paul also missing a shot, they had to rely on Maddy's defense.

But.

"Shay! Consecutive scores! He's already scored 37 points!

Maddie's defense worked hard, but he couldn't stop Shay's score!

At the critical moment, is it true that the Hornets have nothing to do? ”

Amid the commentator's exclamations, the TV began to replay Shay's goal.

Just now, Shay singled out Maddie with the ball on the left side of the court, just made a simple triple threat move, and then started to take a step to the left, and directly made a sharp stop and leaned back. Maddie actually defended very well, covering Shay almost immediately, but Shay still threw the ball in!

Shay is still scoring in a row, and the difference has come to 9 points!

The wasp is in danger!

After the goal, Shay did not forget to continue to speak at Paul:

"Chris Bearer, when you can't pass the ball to your teammates, you can't just watch the game slip away, right?

Come on, beat me head-on! Prove that you are the best point guard! ”

Shay's provocation made Paul very angry.

He continued to play pick-and-roll with West and passed the ball back to West after attracting the pinch.

But West's shot stumbled out of the frame again, and at the critical moment, the Hornets didn't seem to have a stable offensive point!

To anyone who is blind in the middle distance!

Shay took the rebound himself, and then made a long pass to Elvis Presley, who scored on a dunk, and the gap stretched to 11 points!

The collapse of the Hornets came without warning!

Paul can really only attack on his own now, Butler and Chandler have no ability to attack on their own, Maddie was crucified by Shay again, and West is inaccurate.

The only thing Paul could rely on was himself.

As a result, this time offensively, Paul's pull-up jump shot was not a question of whether he could score or not, but was directly rubbed by Roy!

Roy is not a good blocker, and his total number of blocks has not reached 50 in three seasons in his entire career so far.

After all, his arm span is not very good, and his bounce is not as explosive as Wade and his ilk.

The key is that Roy's defense is mainly steady, and he will not easily make steals or blocks.

But he doesn't care if he pulls his hips with his height and arm span, he is also 1.98 meters tall and has an arm span of 2.03 meters. In front of Paul, who is 1.83 meters tall and has an armband of 1.94 meters, Roy is a behemoth.

This time, Roy guessed that Paul would definitely make his own pull-up jump shot when there was no one to pass him, so he judged the timing of the block.

So one cover and one accurate!

Although Paul scored 28 points on Roy's head today, at the moment when the team needed it the most, Paul attacked three times, only in exchange for one iron and one risk!

Shay was right, he didn't even need to defend Paul himself!

As it turned out, when Paul had to go and score on his own, when he had to attack.

It proves that his team is finished!

As a traditional point guard, Paul's offensive ability is top-notch at this position.

But as the No. 1 star in the West, Paul's offensive ability is obviously not strong enough!

This is one of the main reasons why Paul has never won the championship.

In modern basketball, there are currently only three teams that can win championships with point guards as the first core - Magic's Lakers, Assassins' Pistons and Shay's Lakers.

Among the Spurs' championships, Parker can hardly be said to be the first core.

Civilian Pistons, although Billups is FMVP, that team is not a team that has a point guard as the first core.

It is no exaggeration to say that Big Ben is more like the first core of the Pistons, because the foundation of the Pistons is defense, and Big Ben is the core of the Pistons' defensive system.

It's just called Ben's, and the offense is too spicy, otherwise Big Ben will brush up and down an FMVP.

As for Curry in the future, it is true that the dunk king is the No. 1 core of the Warriors, but he has nothing to do with traditional point guards.

It's the same with Magic and Shay, the size of these two old rascals has nothing to do with traditional point guards.

Shay is not only the size of a traditional point guard, but at the peak of his four consecutive championships, he was actually a super scorer, and his playing style is not a point guard at all.

Although the assassin is only 1.85 meters, his style of play and body size are very traditional point guards.

But he was able to win the championship precisely because he completely abandoned the traditional point guard style of play during his two-game winning streak.

In four consecutive seasons before winning the championship, the Spurs averaged double-doubles in assists on the road. However, during the two-game winning streak, the Assassins' assist count dropped to less than 8.5.

He freed up possession, cutting more like a quarterback, running and letting his partner Dumas carry the ball more.

The end result was that the Pistons averaged six points per game in double figures in the '88-89 season. The Smiling Assassin is not so much a core point guard as a screw with a little more ball.

For the rest, the teams that need a lot of point guards to attack with a lot of the ball may be strong, but they can't be the strongest.

Whether it is Kidd, Nash, Stockton, or now Paul, there is a limit, that is, the ability of traditional point guards to attack at critical moments is really limited!

It's also easy to limit them, cut them off from the team, force them to play alone, and they'll be helpless.

20+10, never directly get 40 points to be simple!

It's a bit brutal to say that, but the truth is that in the context of modern basketball, the traditional point guard is just a supporting role!

The more critical the moment, the more obvious the point guard's shortcomings become!

The Hornets can be so strong in this history because Paul still has Maddie, a guy who can still attack the fortifications, to make up for Paul's shortcomings.

But after Shay blocked Maddie today, Paul had only one way to die!

This is also why Paul was stunned when he heard the coach's instructions to let him attack.

Because he knows very well that this is not him, nor is it the way the team plays best.

It's just that at the time, the whole Hornets team still had illusions about Paul's offensive ability.

But now, compared to Shay, a true top attacker, Paul looks so small.

Paul's back-to-back misses gave the Lakers a chance to pull away further.

Shay didn't miss this opportunity either, this time he pretended to cut out to catch the ball, but suddenly he ran back and stabbed inside.

Maddie was shaken off by this reverse run, losing a position of distance, and it was impossible to catch up with Shay again.

Roy also passed the ball in immediately, but when Roy passed, Paul suddenly pounced on Shay at the same incredible speed, and reached out to rub Roy's pass and destroy the pass!

The basketball is destroyed by Paul, and Shay has to stop and bend down to pick it up.

Although the ball still belongs to the Lakers, Shay has been forced to stop under the basket at this time, and he is far from being fluent in three steps directly after receiving the ball.

Paul was also dead behind Shay and ready to wait for another steal.

As a result, in the next second, Shay directly burst out on the spot, then turned around in the air, completely ignoring Paul, and came to a 180° turn buckle that jumped on the spot!

By the time Paul reacted and jumped, his whole body had been suppressed by Shay, and he was completely powerless!

Shay used a humiliating violent buckle to disgrace Paul!

Shay had 39 points and 10 assists in a single game, and Paul, who had 28 points and 8 assists, stretched the difference to 13 points!

Paul, a traditional point guard, couldn't score consecutive goals in a tough game.

And Shay, he can attack well no matter what defense he is!

The gap between the two people has been decided!

The ball went in, Paul was knocked down in embarrassment, and Shay bent down and shook his finger at Paul on the ground:

"You're weak enough to be soft-hearted."

Paul's competitive spirit and self-esteem were ruthlessly trampled on by Shay!

At this point, the Lakers almost sealed the win, and Shay also completely won over Paul!

Whether it's basketball or strikes, Paul is disgraced today!

He successfully took revenge on Paul with practical actions, and also proved with practical actions that this year's Lakers can wrestle with the first place in the West!

At this point, Paul, who had been humiliated, sat on the ground and clenched his fists.

played basketball, was blown up at a critical moment, and was finally dunked by Shay jumping on the spot. In a fight, his face was pressed to the ground and rubbed but he couldn't fight back. He was completely humiliated by Shay today!

All these humiliations made Paul's unstoppable cannon fist heart burn wildly.

With a strong sense of self-esteem, he would never let himself lose a game in such a humiliating way, and he had to teach Shay a lesson anyway, even if it was not in a way other than basketball!

Barkley once said, "Young people these days have no idea how strong Shay is." ”

Do you think he's talking about basketball?

No.

Dare to ask who in the whole world doesn't know how strong Shay was at basketball at his peak.

What Barkley said was Shay's strength in other aspects, which has been greatly underestimated by the young people of today.

And Paul was one of them
