Chapter 328 327: No matter how perfect the big man is, he will fall under Shay's torture!

Shea opened the point difference to 13 points, but this was just the beginning of Duncan's nightmare.

Although there was no response, Duncan was not deaf and he knew what Shay had just said.

Next, let yourself not get a single point?

Naturally, Duncan didn't quite believe it. He thought this was just an ordinary psychological offensive.

Shay, it’s impossible for him to do such a thing, right?

But soon, Duncan discovered the difference between Shay and others.

Others talk trash, maybe just casually.

For example, if someone says your wife tastes like donuts, he or she may not have actually tasted it, but he just wants to mess with your mentality.

But Shay, the biggest difference between him and others is that he does what he says!

Shea said that Duncan would not be allowed to score next.

then

"Tim Duncan made another mistake. He couldn't even lift the ball! As soon as he lifted the basketball, it was cut off by Shay.

God, this may be the most difficult situation Tim Duncan has ever encountered since playing basketball!

The Lakers' resolute and tight attack put Tim in a tough fight!"

When Barkley was yelling, Duncan had already made his second mistake in three possessions.

This most stable and calm idiot is now trapped in a bitter battle!

Popovich was a little surprised, the Lakers' tactical execution was too strong!

The contraction was extremely resolute, and the replenishment of the attack was very timely.

Of course, the most important thing is to have Shay.

Shay's presence not only locked Duncan up, but also restricted the admiral.

The general's iron-blooded mid-range jump shot was interfered by Shea and the hit rate was also low.

Forcefully rushing inside? The Lakers' five-man contraction tactic also prevents the general from attacking the frame efficiently.

Playing Shai on the back? Don't be ridiculous. If the general had played so hard on the back, he wouldn't have been defeated by Dream in the playoffs.

The presence of Shea made the Twin Towers fight extremely frustrating all night long.

At this time, Barkley also began to decline in a fancy way:

"Do you know Bill? In Chinese mythology, there is a magical monkey called the Monkey King. He is so powerful that he can compete with the entire divine world by himself!

This guy named Monkey King has learned a technique of 72 transformations, which can transform him into any state that can best restrain his enemies.

And Xie Yi, he is simply the Monkey King!

Against Duncan and the Admiral, he transformed into a help-defense monster at the fourth position!

I believe that in this year’s playoffs, Shay can fight against the entire ‘God Realm’ on his own! And then send all those who stop him to hell!”

Spurs on-site commentator Bill Lander was in a bad mood when he saw the team being beaten like this by the eighth seed in the Western Conference. So when he heard Barkley's crazy boast, he immediately retorted:

"Come on, Charles, these are all made up. There is no such monkey in Chinese mythology."

Buckley rolled his eyes at Bill Rand:

"Why don't I tell you to read more books? Don't just read books with illustrations all day long!

Shay also gave me a copy of this book. It is one of the four great classics in China. I can just lend it to you someday, it’s uneducated!"

"Oh, since you are so educated, have you finished reading this book?"

"Ah, this. No. No!"

"Why? The story isn't exciting enough?"

"No, it's because in this book, the second-in-command of the adventure team is actually a pig! I suspected that Shay was deliberately mirroring me, so I was so angry that I stopped reading!"

Bill Rand:.

Is this still necessary for mapping?

After arguing with Barkley, Bill Rand continued to pay attention to the game.

After forcing Duncan to make a mistake, thanks to Shea's missed three-pointer after passing the ball to Billups, the Lakers did not widen the point difference again.

Now, the Spurs are still 10 points behind the Lakers in the last 2 minutes and 33 seconds.

Fortunately, in the previous rounds, Mario Elie, who had assisted Dameng, used two consecutive three-pointers and a 2+1 after a breakthrough by the young general to close the point difference to 10 points.

The Spurs still have some hope of counterattack.

Speaking of which, the Spurs' bench depth is really scary.

Sitting on the bench are tough players such as Mario Elie, Steve Kerr and Malik Rose.

Popovich had just seen that the starting lineup was so inaccurate. In the fourth quarter, he replaced one person after another to try out his skills. In the end, he tried out this kid Mario Elie.

Mario Elie's miraculous 6 points in a row, coupled with the young general's 2+1, seemed to put the faltering Spurs on a ventilator, barely keeping them alive.

After Billups hit the ball and the Spurs protected the rebound, Popovich paused the game in embarrassment.

Although the Spurs scored 9 points in a row, they finally recovered the point difference to 10 points.

But Popovich is not happy at all, because now there is a very serious problem-Duncan has not scored for seven full minutes!

No shipment will be made within seven minutes. This situation may be an advantage in other situations.

But on the basketball court, this undoubtedly makes Popovich very worried.

Although the team's three-point touch has improved now, the star player is unable to perform, and Popovich is still unsure.

But there is no way. Popovich can only rely on the long-range shooting touch of the role players: "Tim, if you have the chance, attack it yourself! There is really no chance to pass it again! Once others get the opportunity, give me a decisive shot, don't hesitate.

!”

At this time, fans also saw a split-screen close-up of Shay and Duncan on the TV screen.

Below Duncan, the director very thoughtfully marked him with a note of "no score for seven minutes."

Below Shay, the director played his statistics today: 40 points, 11 assists, 6 rebounds, 4 steals and 3 blocks.

So far, Shay has scored a double-double of 40+10!

This is also the reason why the Lakers can still maintain a double-digit advantage even though the Spurs scored 9 points in a row.

When Duncan was lost, Shea was still tormenting the Spurs crazily.

Judging from the performance in today's game, the gap between Shay and Duncan is huge.

At this time, Shay Shay was calmly drinking water. Not only was he not disappointed when he saw the approaching score, he was actually very excited!

In this way, he would have reason to continue to kill the young No. 21!

Today's plan remains unchanged, which is to make the Spurs and Duncan lose in disgrace!

The game continued. The Spurs' first attack after returning from the timeout. After Mario Elie, Pippen actually responded from outside the three-point line and finally hit his first three-pointer in the fourth quarter.

ball!

This three-pointer allowed the Spurs to narrow the point difference to single digits in one breath!

The Spurs suddenly woke up with a three-pointer at the end of the fourth quarter, giving Popovich hope of a counterattack.

Popovich laughed, there is no perfect way!

Next, the Lakers will definitely be afraid of the Spurs' three-point shots and give up shrinking. By then, Duncan will be free!

Carlisle is indeed a little worried. After all, the Spurs have scored 12 points in a row!

And it feels like it's contagious.

When it is iron, one person will infect the other person. But when it is accurate, one person will infect the other person.

So Carlisle made a gesture, asking the team not to shrink so deeply and to expand slightly.

With Shea's mid-range jump shot, the Spurs got another chance to close the gap!

Popovich is clenching his hands tightly, is he really going to start a counterattack!?

The young general also noticed keenly that the Lakers' defense was slightly more expanded than before.

Therefore, he immediately handed the ball to Duncan in the high position.

At this time, the Lakers' defense was expanding, so the double team would definitely not be in place immediately. The Admiral was pulling in the low post again, and Shea would definitely not dare to help defend.

Duncan should finally have a chance to take action!

The counterattack of No. 1 in the Western Conference begins here!

However, when Duncan received the basketball, the young general discovered that the person behind Duncan was no longer Mutombo, but Shay!

When Carlisle just gestured for the Lakers to defend outside, he was also reminding Shea: "Go to the high post and deal with Duncan!"

Previously, the reason why Shea was not required to guard Duncan was because Shea was near the basket and it was also difficult to guard Duncan's post-ups.

But now, Duncan is forced to hold the ball in the high post, so Shea is no longer afraid of No. 21.

Duncan received the basketball and didn't dare to hesitate. He leaned back and shot a jump shot.

However, this goal is not a question of whether it is scored or not. Duncan failed to throw the ball at all!

The moment he lifted the basketball, Shay used his perfect steal prediction and hand speed to snap the basketball out of Duncan's hand!

Tim Duncan made his second consecutive mistake!

Cutting off the basketball, Shea led the counterattack with another long pass. This time, Wu Sheng counterattacked and scored a layup, widening the point difference to 9 points again!

After completing the defense, Shay stared at the stupid No. 21:

"I told you that you won't be able to score a single point, and you won't be able to score a single point. Stop struggling, you can't resist the will of Basketball Jesus!"

Duncan remained silent, expressionless, and did not give any feedback to Shay's trash talk.

But Shay knows very well that although some people don't scream or have expressions, she can actually feel every impact you have. So, don't stop, keep applying pressure!

If the pressure continues like this, Duncan will definitely become more and more anxious!

Duncan still failed to score, and Barkley also shouted excitedly:

"Did you see it? Shay has changed his form again! Now Shay can carry Duncan alone! No matter what, Shay is the one who can best restrain you!"

Naturally, Duncan would not give up, so this time he pushed Shay in early to get a deeper receiving position.

But Shay directly dealt with Duncan by going around the front, sitting directly on Duncan's legs, cutting off the passing route!

The young general adjusted the angle several times, but still lacked the confidence to feed the ball.

In desperation, the basketball had to be given to Mario Eli from outside the three-point line.

But this time Eli's three-point shot was interfered with by Finley, who had already extended his defense, and it bounced out of the frame!

How far do the Spurs have to go if they want to kill the game with three-pointers when Duncan is completely blocked? Just like Horry in 2005, he can lead the Spurs by making 5 of 6 three-pointers in a single game and hitting a decisive three-pointer.

Escape from death!

Or like Ginobili, who averaged 49.9% shooting and 38.7% three-point shooting, steadily scoring 18.7 points per game.

Otherwise, the Spurs can't kill the game by relying on the outside!

But the current Spurs obviously do not have such a perimeter configuration.

Therefore, as long as Shea sees Duncan to death, he can completely eliminate the Spurs!

After once again forcing Duncan to be unable to catch the ball, Shea counterattacked directly with the ball as usual.

Unlike Duncan, Shea did not disappear at the critical moment in the fourth quarter.

In fact, the Spurs were almost mentally scarred today.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Popovich used the defensive strategy that he would rely on in the future - blocking the middle, forcing the ball carrier to go to both sides, and maintaining pressure at all times. It gives you a chance to challenge in the mid-range, but if you break through

Just make up for the defense inside.

This is also the defensive strategy used by the Lakers before.

To put it bluntly, it gives you the most cost-effective way to attack in the mid-range.

You won't be allowed to play three-pointers or breakthroughs.

Therefore, in the fourth quarter, Shea did not easily break through the penalty area and did not get an easy long-range shot opportunity.

It stands to reason that with Pippen, it would be very difficult for Shea to score a one-on-one goal in the mid-range.

but.

He can't guard Pippen at all!

Shea was very stable in the mid-range today. Pippen's defense seemed to be fine every time, but Shea also scored every time.

Popovich didn't believe in evil, so he still let Pippen, whose legs were starting to weaken, deal with Shay.

And Shay also left a famous scene with Pippen like this.

Shea took advantage of the situation. After being blocked by the Spurs in the middle, he broke through to Pippen's left side.

Seeing this situation, Duncan immediately moved his position, ready to help defend Shay who broke through.

Shay's starting speed was so fast that he surpassed Pippen by half a body in just one step. If this season hadn't allowed rougher hand movements, allowing Pippen to pull Shay, Pippen would have completely lost.

Positioned.

However, just when Pippen tried his best to chase back, just when Duncan was ready to help defend and intercept.

Shay, who was in the middle of the sudden attack, suddenly hit the brakes and made an emergency stop to retreat!

To be honest, this action is not complicated, and it is not a particularly difficult technical action to learn. But anyone who often watches games knows that this seemingly simple trick is the most useful!

Shay's sudden stop forced Pippen to make a sudden stop. But his legs could no longer support such a sudden stop. Therefore, Pippen's legs softened and instead of falling to the ground, he directly knelt down.

He knelt on the ground, then slid in front of Duncan and hugged Duncan's legs.

Duncan:.

Duncan was given a big salute for no apparent reason!

After kneeling down on Pippen, Shay also shot easily from the mid-range, and the basketball hit again!

With 42 points and 12 assists, Shay's statistics have been exaggerated to an astonishing level.

Shea also used this method to humiliate the Spurs' defense by directly shaking Pippen to his knees.

He just wants to let the world see that being first in the Western Conference is no big deal. Now the Lakers are back in front by 11 points, double digits again!

Pippen is about to cry. I am 34 years old after all. Why do I still have to go through this?

I just want to hug my legs and win another championship. What crime am I guilty of!?

All I can say is that Pippen hugged the wrong leg.

If he had accepted Shay as his godfather last summer, would there have been so many troubles?

Pippen knew that the humiliation of being knocked to his knees was just the appetizer. Next, Shay's vicious trash talk was the beginning of his suffering.

But what surprised Pippen was that Shea did not trash talk him, but continued to shout at Duncan:

"Hey, it's your turn. I've already scored so many points, why don't you try your best to score a goal? You're 11 points behind. You don't want the point difference to continue to widen, right?"

Shea hooked his fingers at Duncan, nakedly provoking the absolute core of the Spurs.

There was still no obvious expression on Duncan's face, but Shay could see that the guy frowned slightly!

I just want this feeling, I just want Duncan to be angry!

Duncan is indeed angry, not with Shay, but with himself that he has not scored for more than eight consecutive minutes, and with himself being completely invisible on the offensive end at critical moments!

In the first three quarters, Duncan thought that letting Shay play the fourth position would only make his offense more difficult.

But I didn’t expect that I would be blocked!

So this time Duncan chose to stay in the low post, wanting to attack directly from the low post where he is good at.

Although Shay had a strange man's badge that "increases strength when defending against back hits", he was still pushed into a deep position by Duncan.

At the same time, the Admiral got the basketball and prepared to continue to cooperate with Duncan inside and outside.

At this time, Duncan has completely trapped Shay behind him and can catch the ball safely.

As long as he can catch the ball, Duncan will have the confidence to end the offense in this position!

Even Shay in this position can't stop him!

To be honest, Shea also knew that being so close to the basket, he would definitely be scored by Duncan.

Now, conventional methods no longer work.

But Shea suddenly remembered that Rodman had once completed a steal when his opponent was completely stuck behind him.

So, when the Admiral passed the ball, Shea jumped out from behind Duncan and intercepted the ball with a goalie save!

This type of stealing method is only suitable for people who can judge the timing of stealing very accurately.

And both Shay and Rodman are such people!

Duncan couldn't believe that Shay didn't let him catch the basketball again, and in such an incredible way!

And this is already Shay's sixth steal in this game!

Shay, who was lying on the ground, immediately passed the ball to Finley who was closest to him, then slowly stood up and shook his finger at Duncan behind him:

"You can't score a goal, I told you you can't score a goal!"

Finally, Finley assisted Stephen Jackson, who followed up with a counterattack layup, and the Lakers led to 13 points!

The Spurs finally saw a little hope, but were dragged into hell by Shay!

As Barkley said: "See? I told you he would send all his opponents to hell!"

At this point, the Spurs basically have no chance of winning.

Although on the next attack, Duncan finally caught the basketball and caused a foul on Shay.

But it was obvious that even if Duncan made two free throws, the Spurs, who were still trailing by double digits, would be unable to recover.

but.

Do you think Shay will let Duncan go like this? Will he let him make two free throws easily?

Duncan stood on the free throw line and just took a shot of the ball when he heard Shea talking to the side.

The paralyzed face of No. 21 of the Holy City twitched, and after that, Duncan's first free throw actually came out of the frame!

Although Duncan has basic skills, he is a player who has reached the full level in college, and his skills are very mature in all aspects.

But there is still a shortcoming in Duncan's scouting report, and this shortcoming is his free throw shooting.

Of course, Duncan's free throw shooting is definitely much better than that of the Sharks and Ben, but his career free throw shooting rate of less than 70% is not particularly stable.

The idiot's free throw shooting percentage throughout his career is only 1% higher than Mutombo's.

However, Duncan rarely misses two free throws, and all fans also expect Duncan to make the second free throw to break this scoring drought.

But under Shay's evil smile, Duncan's second free throw actually came out of the frame!

At this moment, the mantra "The postman doesn't work on Sunday" seems to be coming to the ghost stadium again!

All Spurs fans covered their heads with their hands. Duncan missed two free throws, which meant that in the last 9 minutes of the game, the perfect No. 21 failed to score a single point!

Everyone was looking at Shay. It would be fine if he could guard Duncan in a sports battle, but...how did he allow Duncan to miss two free throws?

What on earth did he say to Tim Duncan!?

Mutombo picked off the rebound and passed the ball to Shay.

Next to Shay, Duncan had no reaction. Shay, as if he was in a four-point position, threw the ball forward with one hand, assisting Finley to attack easily again.

The basketball hit the net, 15 points difference. The Lakers slaughtered the first place in the Western Conference and ended the game!

As for Duncan, Spurs fans found him hanging his head, in stark contrast to the smug Shea.

This is the first time that Spurs fans have seen such frustration in Duncan! No matter how perfect the big man is, he will fall under the destruction of Shea!

Not long after the Spurs' baseline kick came out, the game was over.

104 to 89, when everyone thought that today was the end of the Lakers, and everyone thought that the Spurs could win 2-0 at home. However, the Lakers used a 15-point difference to win first place in the Western Conference!

The total score of the series was tied at 1-1!

After the game, Shay smiled and said "goodbye" to Duncan, and then hugged his teammates.

The camera once again showed Duncan, who had always been expressionless, but now he looked like a frightened girl, with a bit of panic on his stiff face.

There is no doubt that this game was the first dark moment of Duncan's career.

This flawless "virtue" was ruthlessly broken by Shay! Shay became the first man to conquer Duncan!

This guy who was at full level as soon as he entered the league has never experienced such setbacks as today.

In the last 9 minutes of the game, Duncan really didn't score a point. He even missed two free throws at the end. He could only watch the team being slaughtered.

Duncan raised his head and glanced at Shay. Is this Basketball Jesus? He seems to really be in control of everything!

Popovich was puzzled. What did Shea say to Duncan in the end? How could Duncan miss two free throws?

You know, Duncan studied psychology in college, and his psychological quality is extremely good, making it almost impossible for him to be manipulated.

Also curious were reporters, so as soon as Duncan walked into the player tunnel, a reporter couldn't wait to ask:

"Tim? Why were you held scoreless in the last nine minutes today? Also, what exactly did Shay say to you when you were taking free throws!?"

At this time, Duncan heard Shay's voice coming from the speakers on the field.

Apparently, reporters on the scene were also asking Shay this question.

So, Shay answered categorically:

"I just told him: You are great, and the future is yours! But now, at this moment, it is mine after all!"

Through the live sound, Shay repeated these words again.

At that time, Duncan was very anxious since he had not scored any points, and Shay kept talking trash, which made Duncan even more irritated. But the last sentence, "The future is yours," completely disrupted Duncan.

Duncan faced the reporter and tilted his head.

The bachelor of psychology sighed and then asked:

"Shay also studied psychology in college?"

A perfect big man who was considered unbeatable was completely beaten by Shay today!

With 40 wins in the regular season, the Western Conference team that was considered to be one step ahead of all other teams was defeated by the Lakers by 15 points today!

So, is there anything in this world that even Shay can't defeat?

Barkley looked at Shea who was celebrating the victory and summed up today's game with his last words:

"When everyone thought the Lakers were finished, as expected, a miracle happened!

Shea scored 42 points, 14 assists and 6 steals. He tortured the Spurs Twin Towers to death!

So what if he is No. 1 in the Western Conference? He will also be helpless in front of Shay!

This victory is destined, because Shay has overcome so many difficulties along the way and will not be stopped by this little difficulty in front of him. He has just waited for Mutombo to come back, and he will never be eliminated so easily!

This victory is the result of all the Lakers' efforts, patience, trust and waiting this season!

Don’t blink, audience, this is just the prologue of the Black Eight Miracle!”

That night, the Alamodome witnessed the beginning of a miracle.

But Spurs fans at this time would definitely not have thought of it.

They will also witness the climax of the miracle here!
