Chapter 331 330: The most embarrassing number one in the Western Conference in history, the Green Devil’s methods!

Shay succeeded in the ultimate alley-oop in the last 1.7 seconds and scored his 45th point of the game!

The moment the basketball jumped into the basket, the whole of Los Angeles seemed to be in an earthquake!

Although fans in Los Angeles can only watch live TV today, fans can still feel the passion and joy coming from the Alamodome.

For the first time in NBA history, the eighth in the division defeated the first in the division in the first round! For the first time in NBA history, someone was able to create a black eight miracle!

The team with the best regular season record this season was eliminated in the first round of the playoffs!

The Lakers, who were previously considered to have only a 0.1% chance of entering the playoffs, have now not only entered the playoffs, but will also go to the Western Conference semifinals!

David Stern was completely in despair. He could make the Celtics stumble throughout the 1990s, but he could not stop Shea from creating miracles!

At the game, Popovich was sitting on the bench, still replaying the scene that just happened in his mind.

He didn't know how Carlisle dared to arrange such a tactic, because it was simply gambling!

It was indeed a gamble. Carlisle knew that Pippen would be chasing Shea closely, and it would be difficult for Shea to get a chance to catch the ball.

Instead of fighting head-on, it would be better to take the wrong approach and catch the Spurs by surprise.

What Carlisle didn't expect was that when Shea ran back, Duncan could react so quickly and defend to the basket in time.

I have to say that Duncan's defensive ability is indeed quite terrifying.

The moment he saw Duncan leaping to grab the ball, Carlisle was actually mentally prepared to play overtime.

But what was even more unexpected was that Shay still completed such a difficult alley-oop despite being interfered by Duncan!

What else can Carlisle say? A player of Shea's caliber is born to create miracles!

Popovich sat on a stool, looked at the celebrating Lakers players, and then covered his head with his hands. In this lively stadium, Popovich, covering his head, looked extremely lonely. At this time, he looked completely different.

A shrewd coach, but just a helpless old man.

Popovich knows very well that this is the Spurs' best chance to win their first championship in franchise history.

Because the Spurs' lineup is already very old. Except for Duncan, the others are all old men who are approaching retirement age.

Men are no better than women. If a man is over 30, his health will only get worse year by year.

The team's competitiveness will also become worse year by year.

So next season, when the regular season resumes to a long 82 games, the aging Spurs may not be able to perform better than this, or have better physical reserves than this.

This is the closest window for the Spurs to win, but this window was ruthlessly closed by Shay!

The Spurs' ambitious season ended in the first round of the playoffs.

With 40 wins, they lost to the eighth seed in the Western Conference. It is not difficult to imagine how big a blow Popovich suffered.

The gap between reality and his expectation was really far.

Duncan was still lying on the ground, looking at No. 23 with his arms raised and roaring, his heart was filled with shock.

Duncan didn't even know how Shai was able to put the basketball into the basket even though his body was completely out of balance.

When Idiot was still in college, the war between Shai and Jordan was the theme of the entire basketball world.

At that time, Duncan often fantasized about what it would be like to compete with these two one day.

Now, he has the answer.

The feeling of competing with Shay can be summed up in one word - helplessness.

No matter how hard you try, no matter how perfect you do it.

Shay can always use all kinds of incredible ways to get you!

The previous pull-up in the air, and the extreme alley-oop just now. Besides Shay, who else can complete these two actions at the same time in one game?

Duncan sat on the ground, clenching his fists.

This was the most painful defeat in his career. He not only lost the playoffs, but also became the backdrop for the first black eight miracle in history.

However, Daidai also secretly made up his mind - in this life, he will never let anyone complete an alley-oop over his head again, and he will never be used as a background board again!

At this time, the idiot still didn't know that his days of becoming the number one person on the background board were still a long way off.

In the next 21st century, as far as Shay can think of, the Spurs will be defeated by alley-oops at least three times.

But no matter how many times he came, Shay always occupied an irreplaceable position in Duncan's heart.

After all, as the saying goes, the person who takes you away for the first time is always the most unforgettable for you.

No matter how many years pass, no matter how many times he is defeated, Idiot will always think of that night in May 1999, and the story that Shay had to tell.

The admiral stood there blankly, looking at Shay's back, completely stunned.

It's fine now. Being beaten by Olajuwon is finally no longer the most shameful thing in his career.

Because from today on, being hacked is the most shameful thing in his career!

Moreover, the admiral's performance in the final moments of this game was simply a disaster.

First, Perkins was missed, allowing Perkins to hit the key three-pointer that tied the score.

Then, under Shea's defense, he missed a key mid-range shot.

He simply ruined his last chance to win the championship with his own hands!

Looking at Shay and looking at Pippen next to him who was also completely autistic like himself, the admiral sighed.

Their group of stars are destined to be Shay's backdrop.

Speaking of which, in this history, Ewing, the only one among the four major centers who did not win a championship, got a ring instead.

But Olajuwon and the Generals, who originally had championships, have achieved nothing now.

Compared with the original history, Ewing has not become stronger, and the general and Olajuwon have not become weaker.

The only reason for this situation is that Ewing got a good thigh!

The Spurs players began to emo collectively, while the Lakers players were extremely excited at the moment.

Black eight miracle, the first time in history! This kind of joy is no less than the feeling when winning the championship!

They have never been favored, going from a 0.1% probability of advancing to the playoffs to having to face the despair of being No. 1 in the Western Conference in the first round.

Every step along the way for this Lakers team has not been easy.

Once again, Shay made the impossible possible.

Once again, he challenged everyone's perception.

The champions from Los Angeles have been tempered for a long time. They are determined and resilient. They are never afraid of strong enemies and will only become more courageous as they fight!

From now on, the Black Eight Miracle is no longer just a fantasy, but a terrifying deed that someone has actually accomplished!

After Shay and Duncan hugged each other, the reporters came over and couldn’t wait to interview Shay:

"Shay, this is the first time in history that the eighth in the Western Conference can defeat the first in the Western Conference in the playoffs! Is there anything you want to say!?"

In a rare moment, Shay shouted excitedly in front of the camera:

"I want to say that anything is possible!

The media is not optimistic about me, and my opponents think it is impossible for us to win.

Look at me now, I'm going to the Western Conference Semifinals!

Those who are looking forward to the fall of the Lakers dynasty, I'm sorry, you have to continue to endure it!"

Shay burst out all the suppressed emotions in his heart!

I don’t know how many people’s faces were swollen by this victory.

Stern, who was at the scene, looked at Shay who was yelling passionately and felt like he was being publicly executed!

Of course, if it's just black eight, it's okay.

But what Shay said next shocked the whole world:

"The Black Eight Miracle is just the beginning. Get ready, I'm going to get back what belongs to me! Anyone who stands in my way will end up with the same fate!"

What belongs to him is, without a doubt, the champion!

Shea not only wants to be eighth, but also wants to win the championship as eighth in the division!

Of course, in NBA history, there has never been a precedent for a team from the bottom half of the NBA to win the championship.

But at this time, no one dared to question the Lakers anymore.

The Black Eight Miracle has proven that Shay can do things that others cannot do!

So what's wrong with a team in the bottom half of the playoffs winning the championship?

This Spurs team, with Tim Duncan, Admiral and Pippen, won 40 games in the regular season, and is a true championship-level team. Since the Lakers can defeat them, what is impossible about defeating other opponents?

What about?

No one dares to underestimate the defending champion!

After a championship declaration, Shay took the championship ring from equipment manager Terry Teague, wore it on all five fingers, and then raised his arms high!

Seeing the jealous and hateful looks of Spurs fans, Shea smiled with satisfaction.

Be jealous, be hateful, there is nothing else you can do.

After all, I am destiny!

After the game, the Spurs press conference.

Tim Duncan, a genius who has been a superstar since he entered the league, could only shake his head and sigh when asked about Shay's last alley-oop:

"At that moment, I seemed to see the God of Basketball descending from the sky. Shay, he is a magical guy. He just pretended to be eighth in the Western Conference, which made many people forget that he was actually the biggest ruler in the 1990s!"

The smart Duncan solved the disguise of Shay and the Lakers.

Yeah, they're just pretending to be eighth in the Western Conference.

In reality, they are a team that has just won three consecutive championships!

The day after the game ended, the whole world was flooded with the Black Eight Miracle.

All newspapers in the world published the news on their front pages.

This is no longer just a matter in the basketball circle, but has directly become a social event.

The emergence of the Black Eight Miracle made the Lakers become synonymous with "never give up" and made the Lakers and Shea attract much attention.

Now, fans all over the world want to know how far the Lakers, the tenacious eighth seed in the Western Conference, can go.

The NBA's attention has also been qualitatively improved because of the Lakers' scandal.

And Popovich, as the backdrop for being hacked, naturally became popular in another way.

Especially when he was so arrogant before the game and ended up being defeated, no one would let the old man go.

"Indeed, none of the superstars in the 1990s have seen the strength of the Spurs. After all, who would remember an opponent who was eliminated in the first round?"

"The Spurs have become the most unique No. 1 player in the Western Conference in history. No previous No. 1 player in the Western Conference has failed to make it past the first round."

"Coach Popovich said that no matter how strong the eighth in the Western Conference is, he will still be the eighth in the Western Conference. Now we can say that the defending champion, no matter how low the ranking is, is still the defending champion!"

The happiest among them is undoubtedly Barkley: "If I had played in this era, I could have won the championship. After all, a team that couldn't even get past the first round could actually be No. 1 in the Western Conference."

The Spurs have become the most embarrassing first place in the Western Conference in NBA history.

However, some people also expressed different opinions regarding the Spurs' elimination:

"That's because there are only five games in the first round of the series. If there are seven games, the Spurs will definitely have the last laugh."

The person who said this was not a media outlet seeking death, nor was it an unscrupulous basketball commentator.

It’s Shay’s next opponent, Rasheed Wallace, one of the Three Musketeers of Phoenix!

This boy in prison has never known fear.

As the king of eating T-shirts this season, Rasheed Wallace continued his usual style of fearing nothing.

Weber also expressed his position. Although not as straightforward as Roaring Heavenly Lord, his words also revealed his intention to replace Xie Yi:

"How should I put it? Of course I respect Shay's past achievements. But the world ultimately belongs to young people."

Of course, this kind of occasion is indispensable without the Suns coach, that cold-blooded, mean-mouthed guy who made Bird say bluntly "I really want to beat that bastard sometimes" when he was a player and a teammate, Danny Ainge.

When being interviewed by reporters, Anji laughed easily: "We are not worried about losing to the Lakers because we don't have a general who always pulls his hips at critical moments."

Good guy, the reporter called him a good guy.

Offending two families with one sentence makes him the most foul-mouthed head coach in the league.

In fact, the Spurs and Suns have always had grievances. There was a conflict between the two sides during the regular season. At that time, Popovich and Ainge also had a verbal spat.

So now that the Spurs are eliminated by eighth in the Western Conference, Ainge must be yin and yang to the Spurs.

In the future, after becoming the general manager, Anji may be more low-key in public speaking.

But today's head coach version of Ainge is still a villain who speaks without caring about people's feelings.

The generals are all autistic, please stop adding salt to my wounds, okay?

Just like that, every pair of eyes is now staring at the Lakers' next opponent-the Phoenix Suns!

Although the Suns were eventually surpassed by the Rockets and fell to fourth in the Western Conference this season, with a full lineup, the Suns only lost 3 games this season!

Even the Lakers failed to win even a single game against the Suns with a complete lineup.

However, because Shay has already created the miracle of black eight, even the boldest Phoenix media at this time only dared to say: "Solar and Lakers are 50-50."

But the Suns players themselves don't seem to think so. The speeches of Ainge, Webber and Wallace can be said to be quite arrogant.

But with Shay's personality, he naturally wouldn't give a bitch like Anji a piece of cake.

Just like that, in the second round of the playoffs, just four games into the match between the Suns and the Lakers, the outcome seemed to be decided.

"3-1! The Los Angeles Lakers have got the match point!

Will the Black Eight Miracle really continue?"

At the Great Western Forum, Magic looked at Shay, who scored 46 points today, and roared with joy.

The camera showed Danny Ainge, who frowned and looked unhappy.

At this time, Anji's mental journey is probably: laugh at the Spurs, understand the Spurs, and become a Spurs!

The Suns have a very strong lineup this season, except for the three Musketeers of Hill, Webber and Rasheed.

On the back line, Steve Nash, a white Canadian defender, has also begun to emerge.

In the past two years, Nash has been tepid as a small substitute for the Suns, and even Shea has ignored his existence.

In this history, because the Suns were not involved in Kidd's trade, Nash also continued to stay in Phoenix, and finally became the starting point guard halfway through this year's regular season.

Anji couldn't even figure out how he could be opened 1 to 3!

The Suns' lineup is indeed very strong, but there is one problem - the defense is too poor!

Especially the defense on the back line was a disaster.

The defense of Nash and Rex Chapman, the two white guards of the Suns, is like the integrity of the author of the Internet article, which is almost negligible.

Therefore, in the past four games, not only Shea was very bad, but Billups and Finley also raised their worth.

Billups scored 18 points, 21 points, 24 points and 16 points in four games respectively.

Finley scored 21 points, 23 points, 15 points and 25 points in four games respectively.

Add in Shea, and you can imagine how many points the Lakers can score in a game.

Take today as an example, Billups scored 16 points, Finley scored 25 points, and Shea scored 46 points.

The three of them together have scored 87 points!

The Suns wanted to use their offense to destroy the Lakers, but they were embarrassed to find that the Lakers' offense was stronger than theirs!

The firepower of the Lakers' three outside lines is not inferior to that of the Phoenix Trident.

During the regular season, the Lakers with Shea actually only played against the Suns once. In that game, the Suns were in really good shape and felt great, so it was normal for them to lose.

However, it is impossible for the Suns to perform in such a state in every game!

Just like that, 3-1, the Lakers easily got the match point and headed towards the Western Conference Finals!

Although the Suns are Barkley's former club, the current situation still makes the Flying Pigs dance with joy:

"Danny Ainge, this bastard, thinks he can control everything. No, whether he is a player or a head coach, he is just an insignificant supporting role! He is nothing!

As long as this team continues to be coached by Danny Ainge, the Suns will never win a championship!"

Barkley was not so much targeting the Suns as he was targeting Ainge personally.

Barkley has no problem with the Suns, but he and Ainge worked well together before.

Ainge wanted to correct Hill, but Barkley endured it again and again. Finally, when the Flying Pigs retired, Ainge said this:

"We took another solid step toward the championship because we walked away from a guy who lost points faster than he scored them."

As for Angie, everyone knows that this cold-blooded devil has no feelings for his players. In this regard, he is more ruthless than Pat Riley.

Feizhu and Anji took over Liangzi and often complained about him on the show.

So now seeing Anji almost being swept away by the gentleman, Feizhu wanted to rush up and hug Shay and give her a kiss.

But, Danny Ainge is not the kind of person who would give up easily.

According to Bird's recollection in his autobiography, when Ainge came to the Celtics training ground to practice shooting on the first day, his shooting percentage was a horrifying 0-2547!

Of course, Bird must have exaggerated on purpose. But it can also be seen from this that Ainge's shots when he first entered the league were too hip-high.

As a perimeter player, Ainge's field goal percentage in his rookie season was an incredible 35.7%.

But now when it comes to Anji, the evaluation of "good shooting" is recognized by almost everyone.

Anji's ability to counterattack relies on perseverance and never giving up efforts.

This is one of the few good things about this bastard.

After fighting back all the way, he is not afraid of falling behind 1-3. In fact, he already has a plan in his bastard's brain.

This master of mentality is ready to use some methods other than basketball to contain the Lakers.

Thanks to Anshang Xingxin and other bosses for the reward, thank you everyone! It’s almost good, I’m back!
