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

April 29, the third game of the series.

The game finally came to Los Angeles, to the Great Western Forum Arena.

It was just the big score of 0-2 that cast a haze over the game before it even started.

But the game is not hopeless, because the fans in Los Angeles believe in the light!

And Shay is their light!

"Shay is back! Shay is finally out of suspension in this game. Lakers fans haven't watched their star player play for 12 days.

Today, Shay will not let everyone down!"

The moment the magician saw Shay appear, he couldn't help shouting.

El McCoy, who has been the Suns' courtside commentator since 1972, smiled contemptuously:

"Ervin, you should worry about whether that kid can adapt to the intensity of the playoffs.

His return today may make the team worse.

God knows how many times he will fail.

If I remember correctly, your first career playoff game was also against the Suns.

In that game you seemed to be

Yes, I remember, you made 4 of 12 shots in that game.

I was the commentator for that game, and I clearly remember the way you struggled on the court.

So Erwin, even for you, it's difficult to play in the playoffs for the first time.

So don't expect too much from Shay.

Otherwise, the disappointment will be even greater.”

The magician glanced at the old man beside him speechlessly, why do you remember such useless things?

What's 4 out of 12? Just forget about it!

Although the outside world has sentenced the Lakers and Shay to death in advance, the fans at the scene are still enthusiastic.

Shay was also warming up very seriously and showed no sign of giving up because he was given a match point.

The national father-in-law, who was warming up in the other half, looked at Shea, smiled at Chambers and Kevin Johnson:

"You guys won't bet on dunking on him today?"

Hornacek was joking about the last time the two of them had a bet and ended up bleeding from Shay.

Chambers and Johnson looked at the national father-in-law with disdain. Do you think you are humorous?

Oh, you white people have such a damn sense of humor that it makes me want to kiss your ass with my pointy shoes!

Johnson's eyes were fierce and he grabbed the basketball with both hands:

“Although we lost to him twice in the regular season, our record was still 2-2. We don’t count as losing!

In the playoffs, I won't let him win a game.

Guys, today we are still doing it the same way.

Crush them to death with a fierce attack!"

The referee signaled both starters to get closer and the game was about to begin.

The Suns' starting lineup is no different from the regular season, but the Lakers' lineup has changed.

All the fans discovered that in addition to Shea's return, coach Dunleavy also put Divac on the bench.

Let second-year center Eldon Campbell start!

This change of formation was beyond everyone's expectations. In fact, even Dunleavy didn't really want to make this change.

Dunleavy's love for Divac is well known. He admires this smart Balkan giant very much and values ​​his ability in positional warfare.

But last night, Carlisle discussed with Dunleavy for a long time and insisted on letting Campbell start.

Carlisle admitted that in terms of stability and versatility, Campbell, who has rough skills, is far inferior to Divac.

He also admitted that Divac worked hard. After all, he was a player who almost broke his bones trying to win.

In the first two games, Divac fell whenever he was touched, fell down when touched, and the floor of the Suns' home court was wiped clean.

It can be called the glory of a floor-level center.

But in the game against the Suns, Divac couldn't play a big role at all.

When competing against the sun, the number of times we fall into position is too few.

In quick offense and defense, Divac's mediocre athleticism is a complete weakness.

On the defensive end, he was unable to cover Chambers who liked to bomb the basket in time.

On the offensive end, it couldn't keep up with the team's fast pace.

Divac couldn't play to his strengths, and he was having a hard time playing.

So it will only get worse as we fight.

As for Campbell, although his skills are rough, he can run, jump and defend.

This was enough in Carlyle's opinion.

In this current series, the team does not need a center who can pass the ball, or a center who can serve as a pivot in positional battles.

What is needed are players who can follow the fast-paced offense and defense, who can stop Chambers from attacking the frame with strong performance, and who can keep up with Shea.

Carlisle's first criterion for hiring people is that the person must be suitable for Shay!

He has always kept in mind that this Lakers are playing around Shai!

After some persuasion from Carlisle, Dunleavy finally couldn't stand it anymore and decided to give Campbell a try.

But the two also agreed that if the effect was not good, Dunleavy would immediately replace Divac.

Carlisle was very confident about this change, but others didn't think so.

Replacing a backup center who didn't perform well in the regular season?

It's no use, the Lakers are struggling.

Kevin Johnson looked at Shay who was pressing his leg and couldn't help but say a few words:

"Stop pretending, it's 0 to 2, boss, you don't want to win, do you?"

Shea ignored Johnson and didn't even look at him.

Now Shay just wants to play his game well.

The referee throws the ball into the air and the game officially begins!

Campbell, who was starting for the first time in the playoffs, was very excited and jumped hard to get the ball to Shea.

After Shay got the basketball, he didn't hesitate and stepped on the accelerator.

After holding it in for so many days, I must take a shower this time!

Shay directly accelerated into the penalty area, which caught the Suns off guard.

Kevin Johnson was the first to react. He immediately blocked Shay's path and stuck to Shay's side.

But Johnson's small body can't carry the large Shay.

The three main players of the Bad Boy Legion couldn't do anything to Shay when they were together, let alone Johnson.

Shay carried Kevin Johnson to the basket, but after reaching the basket, Shay pulled back with his hips and then made an emergency stop!

There was a sudden sudden stop at the end of the fight, and Aunt Jenny couldn't help but sigh, Shay is really good at it!

During the emergency stop, of course Shea did not forget to push Johnson.

Johnson couldn't stop the car due to inertia, but with a push from Shea, he was knocked off the line.

After shaking off Johnson, Shay jumped directly on the spot and prepared for a dunk!

Kevin Johnson immediately reattached, but after he jumped up and bumped into Shay in the air, he was unable to shake Shay at all, and was hit by Shay instead.

Shay just jumped up on the spot and dunked Johnson with one hand, declaring his return with a domineering dunk!

The basket made a loud noise, and the magician danced with joy:

"Beautiful dunk! Hahahaha, Shay played like a powerful inside player with this shot!

Shea was very excited and in good condition, and he was simply ravaging Johnson.

Postseason malaise? That just doesn’t happen to Shai!

He will cause trouble for the Suns today, big trouble!"

As soon as Shea started the game, he lit up the entire Great Western Forum Arena.

Their core point guard is back, their hero is back!

After dunking Kevin Johnson, Shea looked at his defeated opponent with a condescending look:

"Come on Kevin, you don't really want to win, do you?"

Shay returned Kevin Johnson's trash talk to him exactly as it was!

Kevin Johnson is also a tough guy. After being dunked, he immediately got up and allowed team center Andrew Long to take a quick baseline kick.

He's going to use points to shut up that annoying rookie in Shay!

Bird: Annoying? Don’t think so. Shay has a strong sense of justice.

Ewing: How could someone as cute as Shay be hated?

Assassin: Sense of justice? Cute? Are we talking about the same person?

Kevin Johnson pushed quickly, but Shea did not let Johnson break through easily.

Shea used his stronger confrontation ability to put great pressure on Johnson from the midfield line, making him uncomfortable.

In the previous regular season, Dunleavy would not let Shea face off against Johnson from the beginning.

But today, fighting against the odds, there is no point in saving energy.

Therefore, Dunleavy gave Shea the right to torture the opponent's core point guard from the very beginning.

Kevin Johnson then encountered the most difficult start of his career.

Under Shay's brutal confrontation, he couldn't even find a way forward, let alone a gorgeous organization!

You can't even find the entrance. Even if you have great skills, you can't do it.

Kevin Johnson failed to initiate a fast break, so he had no choice but to call his old partner Chambers to cover for him.

Chambers set up the pick-and-roll, and Shea had already squeezed in quickly, but Kevin Johnson was even faster.

Nicknamed "Lightning", he can penetrate the opponent's heart with incredible speed whenever he escapes from confrontation.

But just when Kevin Johnson thought he could go straight to the basket and score, he saw Shay catching up and grabbing his jersey with his hand!

Johnson looked back at Shay in shock. Did this guy not get thrown away?

Shay has actually been left behind. Although his speed attribute is 79, he is still not as fast as Johnson.

But Shay has long hands, and he can grab Johnson with just one stretch of his hand.

Johnson gritted his teeth, Shay was really difficult to deal with.

With Shea's return, the defensive pressure he faced suddenly increased several times.

But Johnson did not stop the ball. After reaching the side of the basket, he suddenly threw the ball into the penalty area.

Shea knew something was wrong. Johnson was going to assist Chambers in the pick-and-roll and then passed down for an alley-oop dunk!

In the previous two games, once Chambers rushed up, his alley-oop dunks were almost unstoppable.

At this time, seeing AC Green being thrown away by half a body, everyone thought that the basket was about to be mercilessly destroyed by Chambers again.

Unexpectedly, while Chambers' body was still rising, a black shadow suddenly jumped into the air, swung his arm at a very scary height, and slapped Kevin Johnson's alley-oop pass directly away!

It's Campbell who was put into the starting lineup today!

Campbell was extremely excited today. He knew he had been entrusted with an important task, so he must not let the coach down.

Although Campbell didn't count this as a block, he just destroyed Johnson's pass.

But this kind of thing is impossible to happen in the first two games.

Divac's athletic ability prevents him from touching the ball that high.

And the presence of Campbell makes the Lakers' basket no longer like a bus that can be hit whenever they want!

Carlisle's substitution decision has begun to bear fruit!

The basketball was blown away and the alley-oop was destroyed.

When the Suns generals came to their senses, the basketball that flew out of the three-point line had been picked up by Shay.

After getting the ball, Shay went down quickly, glided again and then dunked hard with one hand. The Lakers started 4-0!

"What a ball, great defensive counterattack!

It’s different, the spirit of the whole team is completely different!

The entire Lakers team is united today and vows to win at home!"

The magician's roar took over the living rooms of countless fans.

The cheers of Lakers fans took over the entire Great Western Forum Arena.

Old Bass was also in the front row applauding Shay crazily.

Wonderful, screaming, and performing. As soon as Shea came back, all these qualities of the Lakers came back!

Kevin Johnson urgently needs a successful offense to save his face.

As soon as he came up, he was dunked and the pass was destroyed, which made Johnson very embarrassed.

But in this attack, Johnson found it very difficult to break through Shea's defense.

Shay's incredible lateral speed and wingspan blocked his breakthrough path!

After all, Shay just increased the lateral movement speed yesterday, and it was specially prepared for him.

In desperation, Kevin Johnson could only temporarily hand the ball over to Hornacek.

The national father-in-law wanted to shoot, but Dell Curry was also very active today and immediately blocked his shooting space.

Hornacek could only pass the ball again, and the target was Kevin Johnson who ran to the baseline.

But the moment Hornacek passed the ball, Kevin Johnson knew something was wrong.

Sure enough, Shay reached out with his long arm and cut off the passing line!

By the time Hornacek reacted, the ball had already been passed.

He can't pull the ball back after it has been passed. After all, he is not the king of firepower.

Shay spread his fingers and held the basketball directly with one hand.

Kevin Johnson immediately rushed forward to counterattack, but Shea took advantage of the situation and pushed with one hand, passing the ball directly at the moment of stealing!

Launch a counterattack directly!

only

There was no one in the direction of Shea's pass. Lakers fans swallowed their saliva. Was this a mistake?

not at all!

Because very soon, Sam Perkins appeared on the originally unoccupied right wing and received the basketball steadily.

With the help of the new badge, Shea successfully predicted Perkins' running route and passed the ball ahead of time!

At this time, Shay was already a truly top commander.

After receiving the basketball, Perkins drove straight in and dunked with both hands, giving the Lakers a 6-0 start!

In just three rounds, Shay scored 4 points, 1 steal and 1 assist.

And the Lakers' first three goals were all scored by dunks!

Showtime is back on again!

The balance of victory is really beginning to tilt at this moment!

Cheers filled the entire arena, as if the dome of the arena was about to be overturned.

The Suns players all looked at each other and gritted their teeth.

The Lakers, who were at the mercy of others before, have really become more troublesome because of Shay's return!

This No. 23 stands in their way to a sweep of promotion, telling them:

"This road is blocked!"
