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

Los Angeles is an ultimate city.

If you have a literary heart, then maybe Europe is more suitable for you.

If you like a stable lifestyle, you should go to Salt Lake City.

However if you like sun, sand, waves and bikinis, this is the place for you.

If you are looking for development in life, there will be many opportunities waiting for you here.

If you happen to be a fruit plate lover, you are in heaven!

This is Los Angeles, a city that rejects moderation.

The Los Angeles Lakers, like this city, are gorgeous everywhere.

As soon as Shai arrived in Los Angeles, he was dragged by the Lakers to the Crowne Plaza Hotel less than a mile from the airport for a press conference.

That's right, usually, when players attend press conferences, they just set up a background board in the basketball hall.

The Lakers directly prepared a press conference for Shay in a five-star hotel!

It's just a very "LA" thing.

Because holding this kind of press conference in a hotel is more like Hollywood's routine of announcing that a certain star will participate in a certain movie.

Shay was sitting in the car reading the newspaper, which contained interviews with magicians.

After the Lakers selected Shay, Magic said in an interview:

"I knew a long time ago that the Lakers would choose him to replace me, because Shay is the chosen son of the Lakers!

Although Shai has already earned a domineering nickname in Rucker Park, I would still like to call him the basketball emperor of Los Angeles!"

Well, the magician is like this, he can show off his skills to anyone.

Xie Yi just felt confused. If he became the emperor, what would Ajan be like in the future...

Oh, yes, there is nothing wrong with the little emperor!

After reading the newspaper, Shay stared out the window nervously.

The accompanying Lakers coach Dunleavy saw that Shay was extremely nervous, so he patted him on the shoulder:

"It's okay, you may think that holding a press conference in a hotel is more exclusive for celebrities.

But don’t forget, you are also a star!”

Since the distance was not far, the car arrived at the front door of the hotel quickly.

Before Shay even got out of the car, a group of reporters outside had already gathered around him, taking photos frantically.

Shay bets that Larry Johnson who goes to Charlotte and Mutombo who goes to Denver will never get this kind of treatment!

As soon as the car door was opened, the flashing lights outside made Shay unable to open his eyes.

He covered his eyes with his hands, and this became the first photo he took after landing in Los Angeles.

"Xie, as a rookie coming to a place like Los Angeles, do you feel any pressure?"

"Can you really bring the Lakers back to their performance moment?"

"What do you think the Lakers value in you? Your ability or your commercial value?"

Reporters were chattering with questions, and Shea didn't know who to answer.

In addition to reporters, many fans also came to the hotel entrance.

There were many Chinese among them, and they all held up signs written in Chinese to welcome Shay to Los Angeles.

At the same time, there were also local American fans clamoring for Shai to bring the Lakers back to the top.

Of course, there will definitely be black fans.

As mentioned before, James Worthy is extremely popular in Los Angeles. Although this is beyond Shay's control, it was indeed Shay's arrival that led to Worthy's departure.

Therefore, some people also did not welcome Shay and yelled and cursed crazily.

Shay was stunned by the huge crowd of people in front of him.

At this time, Falk came up and tugged on Shay's cuff:

"Relax kid, you have to get used to this in Los Angeles!"

Shay kept smiling and walked into the hotel lobby.

During this period, countless people greeted Shay.

One moment it was Kevin, the equipment manager, and another moment it was Maggie, Heath's secretary.

Shay just nodded mechanically. In fact, he couldn't remember so many names at all.

Finally, after turning a few corners, Shay was brought into the hall where the press conference was held.

And backstage, I met the two Jerrys who shaped the Lakers' glory in the 1980s.

Jerry Buss and Jerry West!

Just by looking at the appearance of these two people, you would think that they are completely different from each other.

Bass looked like a playboy, wearing a floral shirt with two buttons on his chest unbuttoned, revealing thick chest hair.

In fact, he was indeed a playboy. The founder of Playboy magazine was his good friend. When they were young, they often held silver parties in mansions.

Old Bass never gave up his elegant hobby of fruit bowls in his life, and insisted on eating a variety of fruits every night until he was old.

As for Jerry West, he was unsmiling and meticulously dressed. At first glance, he was a very stern person.

When many people know the logo man, he has turned into a white-haired old man, so they think he must be a smart and kind old man.

But on the contrary, Jerry West has nothing to do with the word "nice".

He has a very bad temper and often yells loudly in the office.

But maybe it's because of this personality that he can make decisions one after another decisively.

After all, being grumpy does not mean being reckless.

As long as West identifies something that he feels is right, he will find a way to put it into practice.

For example, trade Worthy for Shea.

Both Jerrys shook hands with Shay cordially, and then the logo man hooked his fingers and called a makeup artist girl to do a few tricks on Shay's face and help Shay tidy up her clothes.

"Well, if you look like this on posters, you will definitely be able to charm countless girls!" Old Bass looked at Shay and nodded.

West shook his head: "Don't be nervous later. Just answer whatever they ask. The questions won't be too extreme."

Just like that, Shay was pushed to the stage.

The huge hotel lobby was full of reporters, and Shay's smile froze.

Regarding the various answers to the questions, Falk had already asked Shay to memorize them on the plane.

So there were no surprises at the press conference. Shea answered appropriately and dealt with it calmly.

I thought I could finally rest after the press conference, but little did I know that Shay was pulled into Jerry West's office again.

Witnessed by Buss and West and countless cameras, he signed his name on the Lakers' rookie contract.

Naturally, West agreed to Falk's request for 41 million in seven years and a player option in 1995.

Bass is not particularly stingy with money when it comes to signing star players.

West also knew what Falk meant when he asked for the player option in 1995.

As long as Shea plays well, there is no problem in giving him a big contract after the 1995 salary cap increase.

After all, the Lakers are one of the most profitable teams in the league.

The more you give, the more you earn.

But the premise is that he plays well. If he doesn't perform well, West will definitely sell Shea out based on his character.

The two parties have already discussed the contract, so now that Shea signs it, it is plainly a show for the reporters.

After finally sending away the reporters, Shay was exhausted.

I feel more tired than fighting Larry Johnson for a whole game.

After all, in front of the camera and the public, the spirit is highly tense, so the whole person will be very tired.

Shea now finally knows what the pressure of a big market is, the pressure of being stared at by countless pairs of eyes.

However, things are not over yet.

The public pressure has passed, and there is still pressure from the team!

After these things were done, it was already noon, and Old Bass and West invited Shay and Falk to have lunch.

There were only four of them in the huge hotel restaurant, and all other tables were empty.

After the food was served, Bass asked Shay with a smile: "How does it feel to come to Los Angeles?"

"I haven't reacted yet, I almost got dizzy." Xie said with a wry smile.

"It's nothing, you have to get used to it as soon as possible.

You know I used Worthy and a valuable first-round pick in 1993 to get you, right?

So, we are not asking you to come and play house.

You'd better adjust your form, we must at least make the playoffs next season.

The NBA is not as easy as you think, so you have to work hard starting from the summer league."

West looked serious and stated his request straight to the point.

Old Bass quickly smiled and shook his head:

"Hey Jerry, why are you still the same? Can't you give this young man some time to breathe?

Don't worry, Jerry is a good man, but sometimes he is too impatient.

Let's put it this way, besides money, what do you think is the most wonderful thing in this world?

In my opinion, it's sex and basketball!

Basketball is wonderful, and we need people who can make basketball wonderful.

At the same time, I don’t like basketball where you can only win but not make money, and I don’t like basketball where you can only make money but not win.

That's why we need you, Shay, you can make basketball wonderful, profitable and winning.

After Michael Cooper saw your trial performance before, everyone went crazy and yelled at you to turn the training match into a performance moment.

So, don't put too much pressure on your children, just do what you are good at.

As for Jerry, get along with him slowly.

But let me tell you quietly, after being with him for 10 years, I still can’t stand him hahahaha.”

Bass laughed heartily, and West rolled his eyes at Bass.

Shea didn't even know how these two people with completely different personalities could continue to work together and bring the Lakers to the top.

But it can be seen that Bass and West really have high hopes for themselves and have no plans to completely ruin it.

As West said, the NBA is not that simple.

Shea wants to lead his team to the playoffs in his rookie year, so he may not have time to enjoy the sunshine and beaches of Los Angeles this summer.

He must seize every minute to train and strive to upgrade as soon as possible in order to achieve his goal.

After lunch, Shay was sent to participate in the shooting of promotional posters.

After struggling until the afternoon, Shay finally arrived at his hotel room.

At this time, Shay was exhausted and just wanted to lie down and wreak havoc on the bed.

Looking at Shay being squeezed dry, Falk spread his hands:

"This is the Los Angeles Lakers, so not everyone can bear the life of playing in Los Angeles."

"Farke."

"What's wrong?"

"Can you help me find Grover? I want to start training as soon as possible."

Hearing what Shay said, the Falk people were all stunned.

He had thought that Shay, who was exhausted, would suggest going out to play tomorrow.

Turns out this kid actually wants to train!?

Weren't you tortured enough by Grover during the past period?

I'm afraid you weren't fooled by him.

Shay is indeed very tired, but what West and Bass said today made Shay feel that it is urgent to become stronger.

Besides, although I just signed a big contract worth 41 million US dollars in Dogecoins, the first payday of each NBA season is in November.

So until then, Shay is still a Joan who relies on Falk for support.

In Los Angeles, if you don’t have some Dogecoin in your hand, you won’t be happy.

Falk looked at Shay and waved his hand: "Tomorrow I have to take you to sign various endorsement contracts. Coca-Cola has been coveting you for a long time."

Shay's eyes suddenly lit up. Yes, although the Lakers don't pay me wages, various advertising endorsements can pay me wages!

"Very good, we will sign the contract in the morning tomorrow, and then you can find Grover for me in the afternoon."

Falk:......

Even Jordan would go to Las Vegas to gamble and play golf with Barkley during the offseason.

Good thing Shay, basketball never stops, right?

Shea is mainly afraid that he will overturn in the summer league. When the summer league is over, he will naturally relax.

There is no other way, Falk can only agree to Shay's conditions.

Tomorrow afternoon, he promised that old pervert Glover would appear in front of Shay. In the morning, Shay had to make time to sign a contract with Coca-Cola.

Just like that, early the next morning, Shea and Falk met with Coca-Cola representatives at the hotel.

When Coca-Cola came up, they quoted a price of 15 million over 10 years, and everyone in Sheyi was shocked.

In my previous life, I could not even afford a car worth 100,000 yuan, and I had never eaten fruit worth 1,500 yuan.

Are we talking about tens of millions of dollars in business now?

Although he signed a contract worth 41 million over seven years yesterday, after signing the contract yesterday, Shay did not see the money immediately.

So no matter how large the amount is, it is just a string of numbers.

But this is different today. The representative of Coca-Cola said that Daole is ready. As long as he signs, he can write the check immediately.

Representatives of Coca-Cola Company seem to be very confident, which is something not everyone has about the 10-year contract.

But Falk was not intimidated by this contract. After hearing the offer, he just smiled disdainfully:

"Hey, if you had done this earlier, would you have lost Michael Jordan?"

Upon hearing this, the Coca-Cola Company representative's smile froze.

That's right, Coca-Cola just missed out on Jordan a year ago.

It was Falk who was negotiating with Coca-Cola at that time. He hoped that Coca-Cola could give Jordan a 10-year long-term contract.

Because at that time, Coca-Cola Company had already offered similar contracts to stars in the entertainment industry.

As a result, Coca-Cola refused because they believed that the traffic of sports stars was not as large as that of entertainment stars.

Jiade was happy to take advantage of the situation and win the pill with 18 million in 10 years.

Now, one year later, Danzi has won the first championship trophy of his career, and his popularity has skyrocketed.

Gatorade immediately followed current events and shot the classic "be like Mike" commercial for Jordan, which benefited both parties a lot.

Even decades later, in the era when Shay originally lived, this ad was still reproduced and played in various ways, which shows how classic this ad is.

Jordan and Gatorade are both happy, only Coca-Cola is hurting.

Coca-Cola regrets so much now that it let go of the top traffic player in the basketball world for nothing.

So Falk specifically mentioned this matter, and the subtext was to tell Coca-Cola:

"I don't like your conditions. Now it's up to me to negotiate the conditions. Besides, you'd better not refuse, otherwise you are very likely to make the same mistakes again."

This famous capital vampire is about to start showing off!

“15 million in 10 years is too little. A year ago, Jordan’s price was still 18 million in 10 years. How come the price has dropped after a year?

You might say, Shai is not Jordan yet.

No, I can tell you responsibly, Shay is the next Jordan!

He has only played in the NCAA for one year and has become a top player and a top pick. You can weigh it yourself.

It seems that Maikou was also a beauty show back then, right?

Don't forget, Shea is still playing for the Lakers, and the Lakers' exposure rate is the highest in the league.

Your spokesperson will appear on the nationally broadcast games every week. Damn, this is really cheap for you.

And as far as I know, you also need to expand into the Chinese market, right?

In 1986, you successfully placed advertisements on 18 TV stations in China for the first time and tasted the sweetness of the Chinese market.

Now, Shay is the first Chinese to enter the NBA. You can't believe how popular he is there.

He is simply your key to the Chinese market, which is more effective than placing 100 advertisements.

So my price is 25 million in 10 years."

As soon as Falke said this, the person on the other end showed obvious displeasure: "There has never been such a beverage endorsement contract in history, Falke."

"Then let's make history, why not?"

After Falk finished speaking, he hugged his hands without any doubt.

Shay admired his courage.

The average contract endorsement fee is 2.5 million yuan per year, which was a huge amount of money in the 1990s.

Most players' contracts in the NBA are not this big!

Although Jordan had not won the championship a year ago, he had won the scoring title and MVP, and was considered a superstar. That was only 18 million.

As a rookie who had never played in a game, Falke dared to ask for 25 million.

Of course, Falk was not randomly bidding, he understood the opponent's two psychology correctly.

First, Coca-Cola dare not make the same mistake as Jordan again.

Second, they want to open up the Chinese market.

Therefore, Falk believed that this was an offer that the other party could not refuse.

The Coca-Cola representative thought for a few minutes and then said he wanted to ask his boss for instructions.

He also begged Falk: "Don't have any contact with Gatorade and Pepsi yet. We can negotiate the price!"

Falk nodded, and the other party left in a hurry after saying hello.

Falk glanced at Shay and smiled easily: "Let's go, Glover's plane should be arriving soon."

The next day, Shay got up early and prepared to resume training.

In the car on the way to the training facility, Shay couldn't help but marvel at how special Los Angeles is.

Living in Los Angeles these two days really allowed Shay to fully experience what money basketball is.

Since coming here, he has signed an endorsement contract worth tens of millions without even touching the ball once.

That's right, Coca-Cola called Falke early this morning and agreed to a price of 25 million!

They will send someone to deliver a check to Shay today and officially sign the contract!

Of course, it is not a one-time payment of 25 million, but a payment of 2.5 million a year.

But for Shay, this is undoubtedly a huge sum of money.

This made Shay very excited. He got 2.5 million overnight. How should I spend it later?

On the car radio, the news of Shay's 25 million contract with Coca-Cola was also played.

"The Lakers' prospect Long has already won a huge endorsement contract worth 25 million yuan before he even played a game.

You know, Michael Jordan's beverage endorsement contract is only 18 million.

I'm really looking forward to Shai's performance on the basketball court more and more, and I hope he won't disappoint everyone."

On the radio, people were talking about Shay.

In the newspaper, there is a photo of Shay attending a press conference yesterday.

What Shay didn't know was that the news that he was selected by the NBA would also be published in domestic newspapers today.

And CCTV has decided to start broadcasting the NBA regular season next season.

It mainly broadcasts Lakers games!

The traffic that Los Angeles brings to Shay is beyond imagination.

Corresponding to these is greater pressure.

Now a big contract has been signed, and publicity is booming.

If we don't perform well in the following summer league, it will be embarrassing for Dafa.

Therefore, Shay still trains hard every day to maintain his condition.

Falkdu was amazed at Shay's self-control. Even after receiving 2.5 million, he still had the mental training.

This boy is truly extraordinary!

Because of Shea's popularity, this year's Southern California Summer League is extremely popular.

In the past, no one paid much attention to summer leagues. After all, those who went to play were either rookies or NBA scraps.

But this time is different. Los Angeles fans are tired of watching Shea's college highlights over and over again.

They really want to know what Shay is like when he plays the game.

Jerry West is also looking forward to it. To be honest, it was Buss' idea to choose Shai.

It's not that West has any prejudice against Shai, he just thinks that the reference sample for Shai to participate in the draft after playing college basketball for only one year is too small.

According to his plan, he will continue to tinker with this lineup for a few years.

But after listening to Michael Cooper's description of Shai, Old Buss insisted on choosing Shai to play the so-called "beautiful and winning" basketball.

Only then did West learn from the painful experience and sold James Worthy.

Therefore, West now has a big question mark in his mind about Shay.

Can this guy do it? Let’s wait and see.

The Southern California Summer League starts on July 8, so Shea will start playing games within a few days of resuming training.

The day before the game started, a reporter photographed Shay buying two Mercedes-Benzes to go home.

Shea was in Long Beach, after training with the Lakers' summer league team, when he passed by a Mercedes-Benz dealership.

I couldn't resist my love for cars, so I went in to take a look.

The female salesperson at Heisi is also very enthusiastic:

"Are you buying a car?

Is the seventh generation S-Class okay?

Is a car refrigerator okay?

Is car TV okay?

Do you think I can do it!? I suck my cock!"

While introducing the car, the sales girl leaned on Shay.

When Xie bought this car, it really felt like buying a certain audio sales video.

The dealer boss shook his head. Sure enough, for every S-Class sold, there would be one less female salesperson.

In the end, Shay did not take the saleswoman away, but just drove two new cars back to his residence.

Because Shay discovered that this car is ridiculously cheap for him now!

Then good things come in pairs, it's not like he doesn't have this strength.

But Shay didn't expect that a simple car purchase would push him to the forefront.

The next day's newspapers were full of news like this:

"Shea did not attend team training the day before the game, but brought two new cars home."

"Buying two new Mercedes-Benz cars at once, the second-place pick has been lost in the colorful world of Los Angeles."

"Shay, who is immersed in money, is in a state of confusion today."

Shay looked at the newspaper, the old man on the subway had a question mark on his face.jpg.

What, what, what, what is written here!

Why didn't I attend training yesterday?

Why the hell am I still the last one to leave after training!

Why the hell am I guilty of using my own pocket money to buy a car on my way home from get off work?

I didn’t buy the saleswoman!

"Okay Shay, don't be affected by what the newspapers say.

That's what the media is like, let alone the media in Los Angeles.

But that doesn't matter, okay?

The magician's tidbits are a hundred times more than yours, but this still does not affect people's love for him.

Why? Because he always wins!

As a professional player, winning is your most important task!

Play well in that game this afternoon, and the summer league will be fine for you.

Work hard, as long as you can win, then all problems will not be a problem!"

Falk is very aware of the media's tactics, and they can make up any news in order to attract attention.

As long as Shay can win, they will collectively switch sides and start praising Shay.

Shay nodded and immediately packed up his things and headed towards the competition venue without reading the newspaper.

In the first game after joining the Lakers, there is no room for mistakes!

Long Beach State University's Pyramid Arena is the venue for the Southern California Summer League.

This place can only accommodate 5,000 people, and in previous years of games, the 5,000-person stand may not always be full.

But today, the Pyramid Arena was overcrowded, and fans in attendance filled every corner.

Moreover, Lakers owner Buss, logo man Jerry West and Lakers coach Mike Dunleavy all appeared at the scene!

Reporters were also busy, with countless cameras set up around the stadium.

This kind of spectator lineup is unique in the history of summer league!

Everyone is here for one person, and that's Shay.

In this era of lack of Internet access, NCAA game videos are hard to find.

Therefore, most people have actually only seen Shay in the highlights.

How amazing this Chinese person is, you can see the real story today.

Amid the cheers of the people, the Lakers players came out.

Shay still wears the No. 23 jersey and hopes to continue using this number in the NBA.

As soon as Shay appeared on the stage, reporters began to build momentum:

"I don't know if Shay, who didn't train yesterday, will be able to perform well today. I hope he has gotten over the joy of buying a new car."

Jerry West looked serious: "He'd better not embarrass me in front of so many people! After what happened yesterday, if he loses today, God knows what the fans and the media will say about us!"

"Hahahaha, don't worry. I just bought two cars. As for that, it's not like he was caught driving a banknote in the car." Old Bass still had a hearty smile.

Mike Dunleavy: You two guys are right.

Shay started to warm up and showed off his unique skill of hitting the edge of the backboard from the bottom corner in front of all the fans.

Shay was also speechless. I will never shoot three-pointers during warm-ups again!

The Lakers' opponent also appeared on the stage at this time, and this opponent is also one of the reasons why today's game is so popular.

The Seattle SuperSonics were eighth in the Western Conference last season and were eliminated in the first round like the Lakers. They are not a particularly strong team and are not mortal enemies with the Lakers.

But they have Gary Payton, who ranked second last season!

Although Payton has played in the NBA for one year, he still plays with the team in this year's summer league because he is still a rookie.

Shea vs. Payton, last year's No. 2 pick vs. this year's No. 3 pick, this is undoubtedly the most exciting matchup in the summer league!

What's more, both of them are point guards, so they will be directly facing each other!

Payton looked at Shea, who was hitting the backboard with a shot from the opposite side, and his mouth tilted upward in a trademark way: "Ah, what a piece of garbage!"

So, he also made a shot from outside the three-point line.

The basketball traces a perfect parabola, and then...

It also hit the side of the backboard!

Payton:......

Payton himself is not known for his long-range shooting, especially as a rookie.

Throughout last season, Payton made 1 of 13 three-pointers.

It wasn't until the fourth year of his career that Payton's three-point field goal attempts in a single season reached double digits.

Jerry West shook his head when he saw this warm-up. A small summer league actually had Shay and Payton at the same time!

I have to say that this is the blessing of the two baskets in the Pyramid Arena.

Although Payton's shooting is a bit funny, his defensive ability has emerged last season.

Last season, Payton only averaged 27 minutes of playing time per game, but he averaged 2 steals per game!

Moreover, it is not the kind of mindless gambling steal.

Payton's judgment of the timing of steals is excellent.

Like Shay, he could guard almost any offensive player in college, and his defense was still strong after entering the NBA.

So for Shea, this is a defender like he's never seen before.

West is really afraid that Shea will overturn. If Shea overturns, it will appear that the Lakers' deal is very Sabian.

The logo man really doesn't know how that guy from Old Buss can still laugh. Now it's a critical moment to save his face!

In fact, what Bas was thinking at this time was: The fruit last night was so sweet~

Amid cheers from the fans, the starters from both teams gathered in the center circle.

Shai and Payton also face each other for the first time!

Payton raised the corners of his mouth and looked at Shay with a crooked mouth:

"Don't be nervous as a rookie, there's nothing to be nervous about. After all, you won't be in this league next year, so seize the time and enjoy it."

As a well-known lover of verbal arts, Payton started trash-talking Shay as soon as he came up.

After all, he was a man who dared to exchange blows during his rookie season, and he was not afraid of Shay, a rookie.

Payton originally thought that Chinese people who have always been honest are easy to bully, but Shay quickly responded to Payton:

"It's true that I'm not very good at it, but don't worry, there will always be a worse point guard in this league than me, and that's you."

Before the game even started, Shay and Payton were already engaged in a verbal exchange.

This made the atmosphere of this ordinary summer league even more exciting.

"Haha, I will make you speechless soon. After today, your dream of becoming a star will be shattered!"

It's not that Payton is discriminating against Shay's skin color, he's just simply unconvinced.

A stupid guy casually signed a huge endorsement contract worth 25 million yuan. Why did he do it?

What is the difference between this and taking money and throwing it into the sea?

Today, I will make Coca-Cola regret it.

With that 25 million, you might as well sign me!

The game started and the Sonics fought for the ball.

Payton approached Shay with the ball and shook his head:

"Hey, do you really know what defense is? I'm going to shoot. Get ready. I'm really going to shoot. There's no way you can defend me!"

After saying that, Payton seemed to put his hands on the ball and raised his head to aim at the basket.

Shay knew that Payton's three-pointer was inaccurate during this period, but he still raised his hand to interfere.

Unexpectedly, the next second, Payton suddenly accelerated and passed by Shay.

Payton just made a fake move of praying to Buddha!

Shay is convinced, you idiot!

Come to cheat, come to sneak attack!

Didn’t I say I was going to cum? I was already prepared, but you came in again!

A hearty smile appeared on Peyton's face. The silly big man was so easy to fool.

At this time, Payton even thought about how to spray Shay later.

West in the stands also covered his forehead. With such a simple fake move, he passed Shay?

You know, although Payton is ranked second, he averaged only 7 points per game last season.

Last season, Payton showed good defensive and organizational skills, but his offensive ability was a mess.

Even if the shooting is not accurate, dribbling and layups are still ugly and weird.

He is simply one of the ugliest point guards in the league with his dribbling and layup movements.

To put it bluntly, Payton doesn't have much offensive ability at all.

As a result, he easily teased Shay, which made West feel very embarrassed.

The Lakers fans in the stands also sighed.

Go ahead and let Shay buy a few more Mercedes-Benzes.

Who makes our team the biggest enemy? We signed a wooden stake for 41 million.

I have already said that this deal is necessary!

He also traded Worthy for a draft pick.

Bah, disgusting!

And you said it’s good for people to remember the Lakers? It’s disgusting, it’s disgusting!

Payton easily broke into the basket, and then used an extremely weird posture to bend his waist and raise his hands to lift the ball.

This layup posture is really ugly.

But the next second, Payton saw a big hand appear on top of his head, blocking the originally unimpeded basket.

He was shocked at the time. Why did Shay catch up so quickly?

Payton originally thought that it was impossible for Shay to keep up with him because he was so tall.

But in fact, after you train your speed to 77, and then use it with your long legs, your speed will not suffer much.

Under normal circumstances, those who can catch up with Payton are not as high as him.

After all, Payton's height of 1.93 meters is considered outstanding among point guards.

But today, Shay can both catch up with Payton and be taller than Payton!

only......

Shay's block timing attribute is only 55, so the ball jumped too early!

Shay waved his arm and missed the ball, failing to hit the basketball!

Payton smiled in the air, there was no danger, there was no danger.

Although you can run very fast, running fast and growing taller is not enough to play in the NBA.

How can a piece of trash like you protect me?

After Shea swung the ball away, Payton also took advantage of the situation and sent the ball to the basket.

However, as soon as the basketball was released, Payton heard a "pop"!

Just now in the air, although Shay didn't cover the ball with his first shot, because his arms were extremely long, when his body fell, Shay waved his other arm and still covered the ball.

The basketball was blown out of the baseline by Shay's block shot!

What was originally a bad opportunity to block a shot was suddenly turned into a perfect opportunity to block the shot by Shay!

"boom!"

For a moment, the cheers in the Pyramid Arena seemed to soar into the clouds.

Lakers fans who had been cursing silently just now stood up and applauded Shay, and even Jerry West felt his eyes light up.

Shay's size is indeed too advantageous when defending outside players!

Payton, who is 1.93 meters tall and has a wingspan of 2.01 meters, is already the representative of height and length among point guards.

But in front of Shay, he seemed extremely short!

West couldn't help but wonder if Shea's defensive judgment skills could be better...

Maybe Jordan would have a hard time scoring on Shay's head!

In the first matchup, Shai beat Payton to death, which made Lakers fans extremely excited.

Payton turned to look at Shay in shock, the arrogant and domineering expression on his face was gone.

But this time, it was Shay's turn to shake his head:

"Seriously? Are you really the second best candidate last year?

Damn it, Steve Smith, the fifth overall pick this year, is much better than you!"

Normally, it's Payton who plays with the mentality of his peers.

But today, Payton was shut down by Shay's blocks and trash talk as soon as he came on.

The ball still belonged to the Sonics, but then the Sonics' baseline serve was intercepted by Shea.

Payton had already gotten rid of Shai by running counterattack, so normally catching the ball wouldn't be a problem.

But Shay opened his arms and completely blocked the passing route!

After grabbing the basketball, Shay immediately turned around and quickly counterattacked!

Payton wanted to counterattack on the spot. He was very confident in his ability to steal. He should have no problem intercepting a big man like Shay.

But the moment Payton made his move, Shay used an extremely smooth move to avoid the steal.

After passing Payton, Shay accelerated like crazy and went straight to the opposite half.

At this time, everyone in the audience, including old Bass, stood up.

Payton quickly caught up with Shay and stayed by Shay's side.

But Shay did not slow down, but took a step inside the free throw line and dunked directly!

Payton immediately jumped up to block the ball, but his arm was far away from the basketball and he couldn't miss it!

Shay's powerful strength allowed him to maintain his movements without deformation during the confrontation with Payton.

Just like that, Shay used his right arm to slash down with all his strength through Payton who was in front of him.

After a loud "boom", Payton fell to the ground, while Shay roared condescendingly at Payton.

Shay completed a heavy dunk through Payton, which set off the whole audience!

At that moment, the reporters felt as if the small pyramid stadium was shaking.

This arena seems to be overturned by Lakers fans.

"Hahahaha, did you see it? This is what I want, good-looking, profitable, and winning basketball!" Bass stood up, applauded, and yelled at West excitedly.

West smiled and shook his head, smiling for the first time today.

Shay, that guy is not bad.

Swift, decisive, tough!

But whether he is as amazing as Michael Cooper said depends on his subsequent performance.

A magician can't just dunk.

Payton clutched his chest and climbed up from the ground. This time, he pressed his lips tightly and said no more.

Payton, who originally thought he was here for hunting, found out...

Damn it, I'm prey!
