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

Chapter 112 111: Multiple firsts in history, and the Shea Award won!

Tom Chambers has done countless things in his life where he dunks on his opponents and humiliates them.

But he never thought that one day he would be humiliated like this.

It really complies with the saying: you will have to pay it back sooner or later.

He was sitting on the ground like a bereaved dog, watching the man in front of him showing off his power to him.

"Maybe next year? Tom."

After Shea scored, he returned the trash talk that Chambers had just directed at him.

Although the words were the same, Shay's words "maybe next year" were even more heart-wrenching.

Shea still has many next years, but Chambers has very few next years left.

He will be 33 years old in one and a half months, and his condition is declining year by year.

His winning window is getting smaller and smaller as time goes by.

He is gradually entering the sage time.

This season, Chambers and the Suns had great ambitions.

As a result, not even the first round

Chambers sat on the ground for a long time without getting up, not even trying to get up.

He had been completely knocked out by Shay.

From being interfered with by Shea's trash talk and missing two free throws, to now being forced to steal and kill the game.

Chambers's heart was completely destroyed by that bastard No. 23.

The camera panned across the stands, and every Phoenix fan present had dull eyes and tears in his eyes.

They once led 2-0 in the series, and they even led by 10 points a dozen minutes ago!

But because of the 23rd, everything changed.

Their victory was robbed by that No. 23!

Lakers fans, on the other hand, cheered for joy.

At the end of the third quarter of this game, Shea only had 11 points and 6 assists.

The Suns' targeted defense seemed to have beaten Shay to death.

But now, Shay has 20 points and 10 assists. In the last quarter, he just gave him Divac and he showed off his skills.

With 20+10 in three consecutive games in the playoffs, Shea's performance is unrivaled among rookies.

Without Magic last season, Worthy led the team to a first round trip.

But this season, Shay, a rookie, led his team past the first round.

What was defeated was the Suns, which was quite powerful in the West.

Still won three games in a row!

If there are still people who think Shay is not good enough, then he can donate his eyes.

Shea's goal not only defeated Chambers, but also the entire Suns team.

In the last ten seconds, the Suns actually had a chance to equalize the score.

But Marley's last desperate shot sailed directly past the side of the basket and missed.

There is no hope left, even the iron-blooded Marly has lost hope.

The basketball hits the ground and the buzzer sounds.

competition is over!

The Los Angeles Lakers completed a huge comeback from 0-2 deficit!

Shea averaged 21 points and 14 assists in the series, leading the team to shoot down the Suns in a desperate situation!

After the game, the Suns players covered their heads and wailed, or sat on the ground hugging their knees in autistic ways.

To be honest, the Suns players are already miserable enough.

Throughout the entire series, they were the more dominant side.

As a result, he is now nailed to the pillar of shame.

The area of ​​​​the psychological shadow of Suns players is now larger than the combined area of ​​​​America.

But Shea still hasn't let go of the Suns players. From the beginning of the series to now, no matter what kind of performance Shea performs, he has been questioned.

People keep talking about Lakers pills.

So after winning today, Shay will definitely vent all his bad energy.

As a result, Shay met a group of Suns players who had lost their souls, and the Suns fans who were already heartbroken.

He made a gesture of drawing a bow and shooting an arrow at the Suns team logo on the big screen!

Today, he shoots down the sun!

The corner of the national father-in-law's mouth twitched, Xie, you really stabbed me in the heart!

Chambers felt like he was needing oxygen, and he was so angry that he almost fainted.

Kevin Johnson loses face, you are all okay, I played three games and was beaten by Shea in three games!

How can I get along in the future?

Suns general manager Colangino Sr. sighed.

The Suns' lineup is actually already very strong. On paper, it's even stronger than the Lakers.

But why did you lose? Why didn’t you win the championship before?

After this round of the series, Colangino suddenly understood - to put it bluntly, he lost because the stars were not good enough!

It is true that basketball is a sport for five people, but you also have to admit that basketball is a sport that relies heavily on stars.

An excellent woman must have both beauty and figure, and an excellent team must have both a team and stars.

Marley and Hornacek?

They are great puzzle pieces, but not the final word.

Kevin Johnson and Chambers? They are indeed stars, but not top stars.

As for the Lakers, they won this series just because they had a superstar in Shay.

The Lakers, with a worse lineup and a 0-2 deficit, won the series.

This is the power of stardom!

Colangino learned from the experience and decided to do something this summer.

No matter how much it costs, he will find a way to get a star to come over!

Even a star who eats pig feed will do!

The Suns' championship window must not be wasted anymore!

But no matter how we introduce stars, that will only happen next season.

Now, Colangino and all the fans in the audience can only watch as Shea shoots down the sun and steals the victory from Phoenix.

When Shea was being interviewed by reporters, what people were most concerned about was what exactly he said to Chambers, which caused the man with an 83% free throw percentage to miss two free throws.

Shay spread his hands and said calmly: "It's nothing, I'm just chatting with Tom. What vicious words can I say? I'm just a newbie who has no experience in the world."

For some things, you still have to give the media some room for imagination.

Because what they made up might be even more exciting!

After the interview, Shay left the court with his teammates and returned to the locker room.

The poor Suns players were left alone, and the season ended with huge psychological damage.

At the press conference, Shay became the star of the show.

Dunleavy and Perkins, who attended the press conference with Shea, both drank two bottles of water, and neither had a chance to speak.

All the reporters were asking Shea questions.

And Shay's various answers also made the reporters stunned for a while.

For example, when asked about the meaning of Shay's last action of drawing the bow and shooting an arrow, Shay directly told the old American the mythical story of Hou Yi shooting the sun.

Finally, the topic was sublimated:

"Dayi's feat of shooting the sun has been praised by people for thousands of years.

This reflects the beautiful quality of the working people of our country who dare to overcome difficulties and are not afraid of hardships and tests!

Just like this time in our series, we had the last laugh despite all the difficulties and finally shot down the sun.

This is the confidence that Chinese culture gives me!

Yi shot down nine suns, which means I can eliminate the sun team at least eight more times.

I can keep cumming!"

Good guy, some Chinese reporters at the scene called him a good guy.

Domestic cultural export depends entirely on Shay!

It was obviously just pretending, but after Xie explained it like this, he suddenly became taller!

How does Shay manage to talk nonsense in front of so many people without feeling ashamed, and how does his nonsense actually make sense?

A wave of theme sublimation, Shai ended the series with the Suns.

The victory in this series has changed many things for Shay.

Some changes are not visible yet, but some changes have already begun to appear.

The day after he won, Shay got off the plane after returning to Los Angeles and saw Bass picking him up personally.

You know, the team has just passed the first round.

This is nothing to the Lakers who won the championship in the 1980s.

But Bass was just excited. This was probably the most exciting first round game he had ever seen.

After seeing Shay, old Bass also took the initiative to go up and hug him.

In fact, what Bass did for Shay was more than just picking him up at the airport.

After the game yesterday, Old Bass had a long chat with Logo Man.

Mainly talking about reinforcement.

Bass no longer wants his star player to have to make a fuss about Divac at critical moments.

So he told Logo Man not to save money for himself.

In order to find help for Shay, he was willing to bleed!

Don't care whether that person is expensive or not, don't care how much it costs to get that person.

As long as that person can help Shay, then buy him!

Buss is not the richest owner among NBA owners, but his team is undoubtedly the most profitable.

The more you invest, the more you earn.

As long as it is a profitable investment, he is very willing to do so.

Aunt Jenny also came up to hug Shay, and then kissed Shay on the cheek.

Shay is convinced, will I continue to be the owner of the Lakers in the NBA?

On TV, everyone is talking about Shay.

Talk about his miracle of winning three consecutive games and leading the team to a comeback, and what exactly he said to Chambers.

It is very rare for a rookie to become a high-profile protagonist in the playoffs.

Everyone is happy, happy that they didn’t comment on Shay before G5.

I almost got slapped in the face by Shay again!

Before Xie knew it, he was almost cured of Danzi's gambling addiction.

Now, everyone finally admits that Shay is indeed a real star!

He may not be the best yet, but he's already better than most in the league.

And this skyrocketing traffic has been converted into real income and fed back to Shay.

Shay received a fax from Falk that night.

That's a complete summer vacation schedule.

Shay swallowed hard when he saw the full list of business endorsements.

Have you received so many new endorsements?

I have dug into the trap of a new endorsement.

The most ridiculous one is the Disneyland advertisement. Shay only needs to say "I want to go to Disneyland during the holidays" during the interview to get 100,000!

100,000 in one sentence!

And all these new endorsements combined are higher than my income from playing in the NBA!

This is the playoffs, the better the performance, the more benefits.

Compared with players who entered the league during the same period, Shea's income has already dwarfed theirs.

Everything looked great, wins, money, honors. Shea got everything that people yearned for in the playoffs.

But Logo Man knows that it's not time to really celebrate yet.

Shay is still some distance away from the real final victory.

Just twelve days after the Lakers reversed course and eliminated the Suns, the Lakers were eliminated.

In the Western Conference semifinals, after six games, the Lakers lost 2-4.

Drexler, the current ruler of the Western World, destroyed the Lakers with super all-around statistics of 28.4 points, 8.2 rebounds, 7.0 assists, 1.8 steals and 1.6 blocks per game.

Destroyed the No. 23 Lakers pick he envied and hated.

Shay's performance is actually not bad, averaging 21.2 points, 10.3 assists and 2.3 steals in six games.

It is not easy to produce data that is not inferior to that of the regular season under the competitive standard of the playoffs.

In Game 5 of the series, when trailing 3-1, Shea used a beautiful baseline pull to kill the Trail Blazers and forcefully drag the game back to home.

In the fourth quarter of Game 6 of the series, Shea once prevented Drexler from missing four consecutive shots at critical moments.

But here's the thing, the Trail Blazers can still score when Drexler can't hit the shot.

What Trail Blazers coach Adelman said in a sideline interview after the series actually explained the biggest reason why they were able to win:

"When Shai and Drexler were out, we had more answers than the Lakers did."

This Lakers lineup has its limit right here.

When playing against the Suns, Carlisle and Dunleavy were eager to split one player into two.

In the crucial Game 5 against the Suns, they could only throw Divac to Shay in the end.

But facing the Trail Blazers, who have a more luxurious lineup and a thicker bench, the Lakers' staffing is really stretched.

While Adelman was being interviewed, Shea and his teammates, who were also doing their best, left the court.

At the players' tunnel, Logo Man was already waiting for Shay.

He knows what the team's problems are, and he's going to help Shea solve them this summer.

So, seeing Shay walking over with his head lowered, West went up and patted Shay on the shoulder:

"Shay, your time is coming, very soon!"

Dunleavy thought West was trying to comfort Shay, but West was serious!

Of course, Drexler wouldn't be so polite to Shay.

After being robbed of the MVP by Shay, the All-Star finally got the chance to take revenge:

"Shay is not a strong challenger yet. I admit that he is an excellent player, but a championship?

Ha ha ha ha."

Although Drexler said nothing, he just smiled.

But those few disdainful laughs were already full of humiliation.

Of course, Shea knew what Drexler said. He knew that Drexler didn't like him, and he didn't like that weird Mediterranean either.

In the summer of 1992, a period of mutual hatred and a long and bloody battle began.

Although he was eliminated, Lakers fans and the Los Angeles media did not blame Shea much.

After all, it was good enough to reach the second round and compete with the two-time Western Conference champion Trail Blazers for six games.

What's more, Shay is just getting started.

In the eyes of Lakers fans, Drexler and the Trail Blazers are like the assassins and bad boys that stood in front of Jordan.

All Lakers fans firmly believe that sooner or later, Shea will overthrow them!

After the Western Conference semifinals, the league also announced the list of major awards for this year's regular season.

Shay gained a lot and became the winner again.

The first was the Rookie of the Year, who was embraced by Shay without any suspense.

And, the voting results were 100% heartbreaking!

The last person to receive unanimous votes in the Rookie of the Year voting was the Admiral.

Larry Johnson, who was once the strongest player in the NCAA and the top pick who had great success last summer, was completely stepped on by Shay just one year later!

Auntie originally thought that the gap between her averages of 19.2 points, 11 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1 steal per game was not opened up by Shay.

There is still hope that I can give it a try.

As a result, he didn't get a single vote!

The reporters all said that Big Mom was a good player, and then all the votes were given to Shay.

Auntie, I’m done with it, why don’t you just hand out good guy cards!

Big Mom's statistics are indeed good, but Shay's 50 wins is too hard.

What's more, in several head-to-head matches, it was Shay who won the game.

In addition, Shay has the bonus of a big ball market, so he can win the favor of voters.

To be honest, if they hadn't seen Auntie's name on the candidate list, many people would have almost forgotten that there was a No. 1 pick in the 91st draft.

Naturally, Shea, who was selected to the All-Rookie Team, made the team without a doubt.

But compared with the honors that followed, the rookie lineup was completely worthless to Shay.

Because in the All-Defensive Team announced a few days later, people were shocked to find

Shay is actually on the defensive first team roster!

1992 All-Defensive Team: Admiral, Rodman, Piccio and Shea!

Shay became the first player in NBA history to be selected to the All-Defensive First Team in his rookie season!

Legends such as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Olajuwon, and the Admiral also entered the All-Defensive Team in their rookie seasons.

However, they could only make the second defensive team in their rookie season!

No one expected that this record would eventually be broken by a defender.

Under normal circumstances, it takes a period of practice for defenders to gain a firm foothold on the defensive end.

Even for a player like Payton who will win DPOY as a point guard in the future, his defensive ability has taken a long time to develop.

But Shay successfully made history by relying on his physical condition for fouling at the No. 1 position and a series of defensive badges!

For the guard position, Shea's competitors are Stockton and Dumars of the Pistons.

And Shea's defense is obviously not inferior to those two.

This achievement is extremely valuable. Being selected for the defensive first team is not an easy thing in itself, let alone being selected as a rookie.

I thought this was already a high point, but anyone who knows Shay knows that he often likes to keep people high.

The day after being named to the All-Defensive First Team, Shea was named to the All-NBA Team.

Although this time he was not selected to the best first team, but was selected to the best second team.

But it’s already very impressive.

In fact, because of Stockton's presence, Shea's second team is still relatively dangerous.

However, considering that the Jazz are second in the Western Conference this season, they only have 48 wins.

So in the end, Shay relied on his better leadership performance and joined forces with the Beetles to join the second team!

Stockton was squeezed into the third team, and the first team defenders were naturally Jordan and Glider.

Shea's first- and second-team defense in his rookie season also made history!

The first rookie in history to be selected to the first and second teams!

In history, there are only three players who can be selected to both the All-Defensive Team and the All-NBA Team in their rookie seasons, and they are all big men.

They are Olajuwon, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and the Admiral.

But all three of their rookie seasons were in the second team and second defense.

You can't get twice as good as twice.

Only Shay can defend one and two formations!

This record will probably have to wait until some idiot who can sit on the ground and take T-attacks, who used to be a defensive player in his rookie season, can be broken again.

Even Magic, who won the Finals MVP in his rookie season, was not selected to the All-NBA team, while Shea directly joined the first and second teams.

This shows how big a sensation Shay caused in Los Angeles.

This rookie season is so hard for honors, he is simply heading towards the path of becoming a superstar!

Ever since, although Shea was eliminated in the playoffs,...

The popularity is rising instead of falling!

Drexler was speechless. Why does it feel like Shay is more popular than me!?

It doesn't matter, when I, Ah Hua, win the championship this year, everyone will know who is the final winner!

Then, there is no more.

After Drexler defeated the Lakers, he beat the Jazz 4-2 and met the Bulls in the Finals for the second consecutive year.

This is also the third consecutive season since the 1990 season that the Drakes have reached the finals.

This year, Drexler has improved and they won one more game than last year.

Last year it was 1 to 4, this year it is 2 to 4.

But since the first game, Jordan has been toying with, yes, toying with the Trail Blazers!

Before the finals started, many media said that Jordan was not invincible.

For example, his three-point shot is not as good as a glider.

As a result, in the first game, Jordan did something worse than an animal.

In front of the whole world, he hit 6 three-pointers in half the game and slapped all the media in the face!

When he made his sixth three-pointer, he spread his hands facing Clifford Robinson, who was defending him, as if to say: "Who do you think my three-pointers are inferior to?"

The most classic "Battle of Hands" in NBA history was born.

This story tells us, don't mess with Jordan.

This story also tells us that players who are closely related to GOAT like to show their hands.

With 6 three-pointers in the half, Jordan scored 35 points in the half. In the second half, he only took 6 shots and provided 7 assists.

He sat off the court for almost half of the third quarter, and only played a few symbolic minutes in the beginning of the fourth quarter.

At this point, the Bulls still won easily.

Jordan led the team to toy with the Trail Blazers!

In the second game, Pippen and Grant pulled their hips, and the Blazers stole a game.

In the third game, Drexler scored 30 points for the first time in the series, but his teammates were helplessly limited to a shooting percentage of only 35% and lost the home game.

The Glider was restricted again in Game 4, but the Trail Blazers relied on their extremely thick bench to hold on and tied the series with a total score of 2-2.

At first glance, the two sides seem to be evenly matched.

But after the fourth game, Jordan adopted a posture of "Okay, the game is over."

So G5 scored 46 points, and the gods came down to earth and took away the game by force.

G6 contributed 33 points and limited the glider's shooting percentage to only 33%.

It feels like Jordan just exerted a little effort and defeated the strongest Trail Blazers in the Western Conference.

He only made a slight move, which was already the limit of this segment.

The brutality of the game was not even close to that of the Bulls VS Knicks in the Eastern Conference semifinals.

In the six-game series, Jordan averaged 35.8 points per game and shot 52.6% from the field.

Drexler scored 24.8 points and shot only 40.7% from the field.

Jordan's scoring and shooting percentage are both double digits higher than Drexler's. The difference is clear!

So after the game, Jordan said that classic sentence:

"I don't hate him, but if I don't knock him out, you will think we are players of the same level."

In this way, Michael Jordan won the championship trophy for the second consecutive year with an almost crushing attitude!

In this era, two consecutive championships is almost the most powerful honor.

Because since the Celtics during the Bill Russell era, the longest a team can win is two consecutive championships.

Before that, the Pistons and Lakers in the 1980s could only win two consecutive championships.

Bird's Celtics never even won back-to-back championships.

Considering that Russell's era can be regarded as ancient times, two consecutive championships is almost the ceiling of modern basketball.

Michael Jordan has touched this ceiling, and he is turning the 1990s into the era of Jordan!

He began his rule over this alliance!

In 1986, Bird played against Jordan for the first time in the playoffs. After witnessing Jordan's 63 in a single game, maybe he had anticipated this day.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have said, "God is playing football wearing No. 23 tonight."

Of course, Drexler, as a loser, did not return empty-handed.

Because of this year's finals, the Glider successfully tied Elgin Baylor's record of three consecutive championships!

Lord Baile has a successor!

In fact, if you look closely, you will find that this is no accident. The glider and Lord Belle have many similarities.

For example, their hairlines have almost moved to the back of their heads and they are unwilling to shave their heads.

Mediterranean hairstyles should be used with caution by players who want to win the championship!

Amid the scarred wings of the glider, and with the smile of the Chicago tyrant standing on top of the world, the 1991-92 season came to an end.

The Bulls have won two consecutive championships, and Jordan has been included in the GOAT discussion.

But Lakers fans no longer envy Chicagoans.

Because they have the Rookie of the Year, the first rookie AMVP in history, the first rookie member of the first defense in history, and Shea, who was selected to the first and second team in his first rookie season!

In their eyes, Shea is the most fascinating player on the planet.

And Jerry West has not forgotten what he said to Shay when he lost in the Western Conference semifinals:

"Shay, your time is coming, very soon!"

He is working frantically towards this goal.

Challenging Jordan's dominance?

The Lakers have to do it!

Thanks to 20210914152241919, Collapse of Soy Sauce, Chapter 7 of Night's Seventh Chapter, Riding a Dragon for a Joyride and other big bosses' rewards, thank you all!
