After changing careers, I became the number one player in basketball

After seeing Shay enter the hotel room and sit blankly on the edge of the bed, Perkins, who shared the same room with Shay, scratched his head:

"Hey, that gorilla guy didn't get you drunk, did he?

Damn, he is really despicable. He used old times as an excuse to weaken our strength."

Perkins went up and smelled it, but found that Shay didn't smell of alcohol.

"What are you getting drunk? I was drunk on Coca-Cola~" Shay smiled, then lay down on the bed, staring at the ceiling and continuing to giggle.

Perkins immediately understood that Shay was not captured by the gorilla, but by Connery!

Hey, I really don’t know how sad our boss’s daughter will be when she finds out about this.

Oh, by the way, the saddest thing is definitely AC Green.

That guy stayed in the hospital for a while, and when he came out, he found that his abstinent brother was gone!

But speaking of it, Perkins also admires Shay's determination.

Today he actually remembered to go back to the hotel to sleep.

It would be a magician. It would be nice to see others at noon tomorrow.

Connery didn't want Shay to come back, but she had no choice. Her family lived in New York, so her parents were still at home.

Otherwise, who wouldn’t want to invite a boy to go home and drink a glass of water before leaving?

So after Shay sent her back, she could only bid farewell to Shay at the door of her house with great reluctance.

On the other side, Connery was also in the room, lying on the bed holding a pillow and giggling.

Although most European and American girls are quite precocious, Connery is an exception.

This is the first time she has fallen in love.

What clothes should I pass on to watch Shay's game tomorrow?

Now the relationship is different, so when we meet, should we kiss like other couples?

Ouch, so shy!

Fortunately, chatting on mobile phones is not that convenient now, otherwise the two of them would have to stay up late and chat all night long.

The next day, photos of Shay and Connery kissing on the Manhattan Bridge made headlines in major newspapers in New York and Los Angeles.

Many of the onlookers at yesterday's commercial shooting scene were actually journalists.

When Aunt Jenny saw the news, she was just a little bit sour, but not angry.

It was just a kiss during the commercial shoot, nothing more.

After all, Aunt Jenny is someone who has done large-scale portraits for "Playboy" and is very open-minded.

From her point of view, kissing in a commercial is no big deal.

How can a little girl like Connery compete with my mother?

As long as Shay has experienced my sister's back spanking skills, she will definitely be impressed by my hook and tear socks!

Although Aunt Jenny didn't care, many people still talked about the photo of the two kissing.

New York fans are even more delighted about this. Connery simply gave the Knicks a divine assist!

How did the Lakers win Danzi before?

Isn't it just because there are Los Angeles nightclub girls who help out?

Shay is making the same old mistake!

Sure enough, heroes have always been young, but since ancient times heroes have struggled with beauty.

At this moment, almost all New York fans and media believe that Riley can really make Shay hit the rookie wall!

In an interview before the game, Riley's confidence remained undiminished:

"I don't care what Shai did last night, I just know we're going to win at Madison Square Garden like we always do."

The man with slicked back hair adjusted his suit and then strode onto the court.

Pat Riley's confidence is not groundless. His arrival has turned the Knicks into the most troublesome defensive team in the league.

This season, the Knicks' defensive efficiency is second only to the Pistons, ranking second in the league.

Last season, the Knicks didn't even rank in the top ten in defensive efficiency.

Riley was able to lead the Lakers in performance moments that had never been seen before, leading the team to play the greatest offense in history.

In New York, he can create the most iron-blooded defense.

Riley used practical actions to tell everyone that he is not the kind of coach who only relies on stars and the system.

He himself is the system itself!

Wherever he goes, he can become a strong team!

Riley believes that New York's strong defense will completely defeat Shea.

And as long as Shea can be restrained, the Lakers will be in disarray!

How to lose when flying dragon rides on the face!?

The game is about to start, and the starters from both teams gather near the center circle.

For the Knicks, the starting five are Mark Jackson, Gerald Wilkins, Xavier McDaniel, Oakley and Ewing.

On the bench, still sitting is John Starks, who has not yet fully evolved, but has begun to show his talent.

The Knicks were no longer weak at this time. If Shea remembers correctly, it was this Knicks that forced the Bulls into the seventh game in the 1992 playoffs.

And in seven games, the Knicks only allowed the Bulls to score in triple digits once.

Therefore, this is a Knicks team that almost overturned the top Bulls!

Ewing hugged Shay before jumping the ball, but soon the gorilla widened his eyes and stared at him, making Divac feel scared.

Captain Orangutan instantly entered berserk mode!

The referee threw the ball into the air, Ewing won the first attack, and the game officially began!

In the first round, Divac was tortured by Ewing's iron elbow and was in agony.

Ewing hadn't even received the ball yet, but he had already hit Divac with five lightning elbows in the first stage of his position.

After receiving the basketball, Ewing leaned back suddenly, turned around and walked towards the middle, entered the penalty area full of people, and raised the basketball with one hand.

Seeing Ewing holding the basketball high with one hand, Divac thought the gorilla was going to hook him.

Little did he know that the gorilla was actually separated from Divac, and then knocked away Sam Perkins, who was helping to defend him. He walked to the basket and slammed the ball into the basket with one hand, completing the separation in the crowded penalty area.

Split buckle!

Hook? That's so gentle.

Gorilla still prefers simple and crude scoring methods.

Although Ewing suffered a serious knee injury in college, strictly speaking, Ewing entering the league is no longer a peak Ewing.

But in the early 1990s, Ewing's style of play was still very exciting.

On the first kick of the game, Ewing lit up Madison Square Garden.

Exploded the Lakers inside line!

Divac and Sam Perkins looked at each other and rubbed their chests.

This is so hard for a gorilla!

Ewing is bigger than Malone, so he is more difficult to defend than Malone when he rushes forward.

Both Divac and Perkins were on the verge of tears.

This was only the first round, and I already felt like I was about to be elbowed to death by a gorilla.

However, the hardest part of playing against the Knicks is not facing their offense.

It's against their defense!

As soon as Shea dribbled the ball across the midfield line, he was caught by big-ass point guard Mark Jackson.

Mark Jackson didn't keep a distance from Shay, but directly bumped into him!

Shay was hit hard, but he still used a change of direction to pass Jackson and continue to move forward.

But just as he was about to accelerate, another defender, Gerald Wilkins, came up again.

Before Shai even got close to the three-point line, he was directly flanked by the Knicks. He couldn't even hold the ball comfortably to organize the offense!

This is the Knicks' defense, and this is the defensive philosophy Riley injected into the Knicks.

This Knicks team will attack the ball handler roughly, making the ball handler uncomfortable for a moment, and then use rough physical confrontation to wipe out your touch.

Especially when it comes to double-teaming the ball holder, Riley goes to a crazy level.

Jordan often just passed one person, and would be directly knocked down by another person who rushed over immediately.

Of course, the rest of the Knicks are not idle either. They are frantically engaging in confrontations and physical contact with players without the team, consuming other people's touch.

The Knicks' defense is so rough, trying to drag the game into a physical fight.

Shea handed the ball to Sam Perkins who came out to catch the ball in the double-team. After receiving the ball, Perkins rushed to the mid-range position and made a jump shot.

Oakley swooped in and blocked Perkins' shot in the air.

Perkins was knocked off the baseline, but the referee didn't say anything.

The reason why the defense in the 1990s was so fierce was that there was no body hair whistle.

Therefore, this level of confrontation is nothing to the referee.

Fierce confrontation coupled with a suitable system led to the emergence of many coaches who made great achievements on the defensive end in the 1990s.

And Riley is undoubtedly the most extreme one.

Crazy double-teaming will definitely consume a lot of his players, but is Riley the kind of person who cares about the consumption of his players?

Why did Mourning get kidney disease? Isn't it because he was fucked too hard by Riley during the Heat and took painkillers every day, which caused kidney problems?

Riley doesn't fuck players the hardest, only harder.

From the first second of the game, everyone must fight crazily, attack crazily, and run crazily!

On the first offense, Shea felt the fierceness of the Knicks' defense.

The other team's defense is designed to prevent you from scoring.

The Knicks' defense is purely designed to knock you down!

After Ewing got the rebound, Knicks No. 2 Gerald Wilkins started shaking his head at Shay and spewing trash talk:

"Your passing magic is useless in Madison Square Garden, play like a man and stop passing the ball to your fucking teammates.

They can't help you.

Just like satisfying the girl on the sidelines, there are some things you can only do yourself.

Come on, challenge me directly!"

The Knicks players don't have clean mouths on the court because it's part of their defense.

Whether it is Wilkins in the starting lineup or Starks on the bench, they will use their foul mouths to make people confused.

When many people face them, they will be so upset by the trash talk that they don't even want to play ball.

Shay wasn't angered, but he was certainly upset.

The game continued, and the Knicks then looked for Ewing.

Divac had tried his best to stop the gorilla, but the gorilla easily scored the ball again with a turn-over jump shot.

It's okay for Divac to torture an old guy like Cartwright of the Bulls.

But as a top center in his prime, Divac really has nothing to do with him.

After replacing Shea, he was still flanked from outside the three-point line.

Shea quickly gave the ball to Terry Teague, who was left open. Teague shot from outside the three-point line, but failed to hit.

Terry Teague has only scored less than 30 three-pointers in his career so far. It was normal for guards in the 1980s and 1990s not to shoot three-pointers.

But he doesn't often shoot three-pointers. The main reason why he chose to shoot three-pointers just now was because he was a little scared when he saw the sticky black muscles of Ewing and Oakley inside.

I don't even have the courage to go in.

Especially the angry-eyed Ewing is really scary.

That gorilla will give away 3 hot pots every game, every game, and if he's in a good mood, he'll give away two more.

It's not enough to just treat you to hot pot, the gorilla also likes to treat you to hot pot while helping you relax your muscles and bones.

Terry Teague didn't want to lie in the hospital and listen to AC Green reading the Bible to him.

The basketball rebounded and the Lakers' offense was frustrated again.

This is the purpose of the Knicks' obsession with muscular defense, they want to scare their opponents!

After the Knicks attacked again, Wilkins made an emergency stop for a half-shot layup in the chaos.

Compared with the rigorous defensive system, the Knicks' offensive tactics can basically be described as blind hooking and beating.

The Knicks' defensive efficiency this season ranks second in the league, but their offensive efficiency ranks fifth from the bottom.

The contrast between offense and defense is comparable to the greenest contrast chart.

Pat Riley and Nelson, those are two sides of the same coin.

If you don't attack, you won't defend.

I thought that the Knicks finally had a chance to fight back.

As a result, "Old Oak" Oakley opened Perkins with an elbow, Ewing blocked Divac with a diamond arm, and then jumped up and picked peaches like a gorilla, pocketing the rebound!

After grabbing the rebound, Gorilla made another strong move, but in the fierce confrontation, his layup bounced out of the frame.

But Oakley jumped up and clicked again, and finally scored the ball.

The Knicks grabbed three offensive rebounds in one go!

Oakley is especially an offensive rebounder, and most of the time he just helps Ewing get defensive rebounds.

But he was not polite and grabbed offensive rebounds vigorously.

This is the Knicks' offense. Although it is a mess, the team can still guarantee a certain offensive success rate with the two rebounding monsters Oakley and Ewing.

Shay is convinced, you two are eating rebounds like pig feed!

Captain Orangutan: Suppressing embarrassment is what Buckley can do.

In just a few possessions, the Knicks demonstrated their unique style to the fullest.

The Knicks led by Riley really seem to be a mirror image of the Lakers.

The Lakers are gorgeous, exciting, and high-scoring.

The Knicks are rough, wild, and high-strike.

The same coach can bring out two teams with completely different styles. This is probably Pat Riley's ability.

In the next few minutes, the Lakers were miserable under the Knicks' muscular defense.

Although the Knicks' own offense is not great, the Lakers are even more restricted.

After Shai is double-teamed, he will always look for his teammates immediately, but the Knicks' rotation is too active and strong.

Riley convinced his players: "Your teammates will help you fill the gap, so you just have to be confident and attack from the flank."

Of course, no matter how hard we defend, as long as we attack from a flank, there will definitely be an opening.

However, after fierce muscle confrontations one after another, the Lakers players' touch was greatly exhausted.

Occasionally, if there is an opening, you may not be able to make a shot.

In this way, the two sides battled 20 to 13 in the first quarter, and the Knicks ended the first quarter with a 7-point advantage.

The Lakers were defended and only scored 13 points in a single quarter. Even in the 1990s, this score was considered very low.

Seeing the Lakers, who were about to fall apart after just one game, the fans cheered loudly, and Pat Riley, who had a oily haircut, also looked proud.

In fact, the Knicks' defense is not indestructible, and there is still room for reinforcement in the lineup.

But for Riley's task, his successor Dunleavy was an extremely rigid guy, and it was impossible for him to find a solution to the problem in a short time.

Today, I’m determined to come to Riley for the Lakers!

The on-site commentator also deliberately mocked:

"The Lakers were struggling in Madison Square Garden, and I think they now regret letting Coach Riley go.

The Lakers management may be crying to death at this time."

The New York fans in the stands were laughing crazily at the Lakers players:

"You guys look like you're from the women's basketball team."

"You weaklings, have you experienced what a real man's game is like?"

"Look at you guys like this, my eight-year-old nephew is tougher than you!"

Old Bass, who was watching the game, was so angry that he drank the remaining whiskey in the glass in one gulp.

Riley's self-respecting look made Bass very unhappy.

Shay, go ahead and kill that stubborn guy.

If you win, I will take you to the San Fernando Valley in Hollywood to experience the artistic atmosphere!

At this time, all the Lakers players on the bench were very tired.

When Dunleavy was preparing to lay out tactics, he saw that the players seemed to have instantly turned into 70 or 80-year-old men.

"Ouch, my old waist hurts."

"My hand hurts so much that I can't even lift it, ouch."

"I am really old and weak. My shoes get wet when I pee. I can't even stand up."

Dunleavy: ...

Am I leading a senior basketball team?

The Knicks' fierce confrontation was indeed very difficult and made everyone miserable.

Although Shay was mentally prepared in advance, the Knicks were still harder to beat than he expected.

No wonder in the original history, after the series between the Knicks and the Bulls in the 1992 Eastern Conference semifinals, the first words "Cobra" Grant said in an interview were:

"This is the World Series of Wrestling!"

However, Dunleavy and Carlisle had already discussed a countermeasure.

Dunleavy tapped on the tactical board to refocus a group of "old men" who either had backaches or backaches.

"Listen, in the second quarter, Shea, I need you to hold the ball a lot and attack on your own.

Before the double team comes up, use your breakthrough to break down the defense.

Curry, you can meet Shea on the strong side at any time. Once Shea passes the ball, shoot immediately.

On the defensive end, everyone shrinks the penalty area and focuses on defending against Ewing!

We are only 7 points behind, and we can still win the game!"

Dunleavy asked Shea to attack with the ball, which made Perkins sweat for Shea.

With the Knicks' defense, even if Shea could force his way in, he would be stopped by a nasty collision.

Especially Ewing and Oakley, those two muscular sticks simply filled the penalty area completely.

Not even a crack was left to drill into.

Perkins was worried about Shay, but Shay nodded resolutely.

That's how basketball was in the 1990s. There was no body hair whistle to limit your defensive power.

Shay has long been aware and mentally prepared to be overthrown again and again in the game.

And as the core of the team, you should stand up at this time.

Shay stretched his muscles and started the second quarter!

In the second quarter, the Lakers took the lead.

As soon as Gerald Wilkins came up, he stayed close to Shea, preventing Shea from dribbling comfortably.

Naturally, his trash-talking mouth never stopped:

"How come we only scored 6 points in the first quarter? My defense didn't even work hard in the first quarter.

If I were serious, wouldn't you get a single point? You're a weakling!"

Wilkins thought that his rough defense would make it difficult for Shea to pass halftime, but Shea did not slow down this time, but also leaned on Wilkin and carried him forward with his body.

While accelerating, Shay did not forget to hit Wilkins in the chest with his elbow.

Wilkins stopped talking for a moment, and his expression became solemn.

In the first quarter of the game, in order to connect the whole team and continue to play his usual performance moments, Shay did not force the attack very much.

This gave Wilkins the illusion that "Shay is pretty easy to defend."

But now that the coach has ordered Shay to attack on his own, Shay doesn't need to worry so much.

Just take the ball and go to the basket!

You can block me, but it might hurt a little.

Shea asked Wilkins to turn off the microphone instantly. After two steps across the midfield line, Shea, who was accelerating, suddenly pulled the ball back, and then made a secret push with his hand.

This caused Wilkins, who had made an emergency stop, to slip and his whole body hit the floor sideways!

The whole audience exclaimed, being knocked down was very embarrassing no matter what era you were in.

Wilkins was also extremely angry. He thought that being knocked down was humiliating enough, but he didn't expect what happened next...

"Shea knocked Wilkins down, and he...he dribbled right over Wilkins!"

The on-site commentator yelled in disbelief. Shay never disappoints when it comes to humiliating people!

He staggered down again and stepped over the defender. This was the greatest contempt for Wilkins' defense by Shea!

Shea knocked Wilkins down and stepped over him, then accelerated into the penalty area before being double-teamed.

As soon as he stepped inside the free throw line, Shea made a successful throw.

Although Ewing and Oakley both pounced, they were still half a beat too late.

After scoring the goal, Shea turned around, looked at Wilkins sitting on the ground with a defeated look on his face, and shrugged:

"If you defend carefully, I won't be able to score a single point, because every time I take a shot, I always start with two points."

"Fuck!" Wilkins slapped the floor angrily. He was used to torturing people with muscle defense this season. How had he ever experienced such humiliation?

Pat Riley also stood solemnly on the sidelines. Although it was just a ball, Shea's ability to forcefully solve the defense was stronger than he imagined.

It was the Knicks' attack, and the Lakers abandoned their usual man-to-man defense. Instead, they followed the inter-section rest arrangement and began to shrink the penalty area.

Although there are illegal defenses in this era, we can still use borderline methods to achieve a certain zone defense effect.

This time, the entire Lakers team took a step or two away from their opponent and stood still around the penalty area.

This is not an illegal defense, but it does shrink the penalty area.

Mark Jackson lobbed the ball to Ewing. At that moment, the Lakers team immediately shrank to the basket!

As soon as Ewing received the basketball, he found that he was surrounded by Lakers players wearing purple jerseys.

No matter how powerful the gorilla is, it is impossible for him to score the ball against a five-man attack.

So, he passed the ball to Wilkins.

Wilkins did not shoot directly after receiving the basketball from outside the three-point line because his three-pointer was also unstable.

When he stepped into the mid-range to shoot, Shea had already interfered.

Although the interference is not particularly strict, with the blessing of the "Shooting Like Moji" badge, it is more than enough to deal with Wilkins!

The entire Knicks team, except for Ewing, basically doesn't have a strong scoring ability.

Therefore, the Lakers decided to shrink the basket, leave others open, and force Ewing to pass the ball.

The Lakers want to see today whether Ewing's one-on-five success rate is higher or Shea's strong rush!

As expected, Wilkins' shot bounced off the frame. Divac and Perkins worked hard to stay in position and protect the defensive rebound.

For the Lakers, as long as they can force the opponent to hit the iron and get rebounds, they will have a chance to score quickly!

After Divac got the ball, he immediately made a long pass and found Shay who was running forward.

By the time Wilkins reacted, it was too late to pursue him.

Shay received the basketball, rushed into the opposite penalty area in a few steps, then jumped hard and dunked hard with one hand!

"boom!"

The basket sank suddenly, as if it was about to be pulled off by Shay.

The Lakers counterattacked brilliantly, narrowing the point difference to only 3 points!

After slamming the dunk, Shay glanced at Riley on the sidelines and yelled: "Where is my rookie wall!?"

Pat Riley looked at Shay who was showing off his strength to him, and his proud expression completely disappeared.

It was replaced by an expression of disbelief on his face.

He wondered, how could the Lakers respond so quickly? Isn't Dunleavy at this level?

What Riley didn't know was that Dunleavy was just a head coach sleeping on the bench.

His actual opponent is the guy who looks like a comedian.

Carlisle arranged tactics suitable for Shai, and Shai executed them efficiently... This Lakers is not as simple as Riley thought!

His revenge plan encountered huge obstacles.
