Chapter 110 109: Double 20 in a single game in the playoffs?(1/5)
Shay's amazing performance after the opening gave the Lakers fans at the scene regained their confidence.
How does this play like a team that is trailing 0-2?
Facts have once again proved that the Lakers are completely two teams with and without Shea.
Even though Shay is just a member of the team, just like the human body, if a certain key part is missing, a man is no longer a man.
Without Shay, the Lakers are no longer the Lakers.
The Lakers can't live without Shea, just like the NBA can't live without cheerleaders.
Carlisle was very pleased. He had indeed not misjudged him at first. Shay was really an outstanding core player.
The man with the logo also laughed, thinking that Shea would struggle very hard in the first playoff game.
But it turned out that he was overly worried.
That guy's heart is stronger than anyone imagined.
Lakers fans are chanting Shai's name. This first-year rookie might really be able to lead the team to break the fate of being swept out!
Suns team commentator El McCoy saw that the situation was not going well and quickly poured cold water on him:
"It's just a 6-point lead, and the Lakers haven't won the game yet.
The Phoenix Suns will not just give up, they will not let this opportunity to advance slip through their fingers."
But this time, the magician responded with confidence:
"Make no mistake, El, this is the Great Western Forum, the home of the Lakers.
Here, Shay has the final say!"
Shay's comeback has given everyone in Los Angeles, from commentators to fans, a surge of confidence!
Even though the Suns were narrowly defeated by the Suns in the previous two games, with Shay today, everyone has confidence!
The game continued, and the Suns finally broke their scoring drought this time through Hornacek's catch and shoot.
Hornacek played very well in the first two games, scoring 21 points in the first game and 31 points in the second game.
Also an off-ball shooter, Hornacek's movement is more elusive than Dell Curry's.
After the ball was scored, the score difference instantly became only 3 points.
The Suns' offensive firepower is still so formidable, and chasing points is not difficult for them.
And not only on offense, but also on the defensive end, the Suns' performance was also eye-catching.
After Shea dribbled the ball close to the three-point line, before he had time to make a move, Kevin Johnson suddenly struck out and stabbed the basketball out of Shea's hand!
Although Kevin Johnson's comprehensive defensive ability is not top-notch, he still has something in terms of steals.
He has a low center of gravity and quick strikes, especially good at grabbing tall men like Shay.
Everyone thought Shea was going to lose the ball, and McCoy yelled excitedly:
"Hahaha, what is the home court and not the home court? No matter where it is, the stronger person has the final say!"
Shay looked at the basketball being stabbed away and threw it to the ground.
Kevin Johnson was not slow either. He caught up with the ball immediately and hugged the ball with both hands.
Shea and Johnson got the ball almost at the same time, but Shea fished it hard with one hand and took the ball back from Johnson's hand!
The arm strength of these two lifetimes finally showed its effect at this moment.
But after catching the basketball, Shea was still sitting on the ground. Johnson and Hornacek both rushed to Shea, preparing to grab the ball.
No matter how bad it is, it would be nice to get a chance to compete for the ball.
Don't ask Kevin Johnson, who is 1.85 meters tall, and his national father-in-law, who is 1.91 meters tall, why they think they can beat Shay in a fight for the ball.
The problem is that men are always very confident about their length.
But Shay didn't even give the Suns a chance to compete for the ball. Sitting on the ground, he raised the basketball with both hands and slammed the ball down like a coconut.
The basketball passed between the legs of the oncoming Hornacek, went straight into the penalty area, and passed to the hands of Sam Perkins who was cutting in!
This crotch-passing pass from a seated position went beyond everyone's expectations.
The Suns players never imagined that Shea could continue to organize offense while sitting on the ground!
So the moment Perkins caught the basketball, the defensive players had no time to react.
Just like that, Perkins dunked easily. The Lakers' four consecutive goals after the opening were all dunks!
Shay sat on the ground and passed the ball through his crotch to assist his teammates in scoring, creating a Top Five scene from the moment he started!
The young woman can absorb soil by sitting on the ground, and Shay can feed him cakes by sitting on the ground!
The magician laughed heartily and hit the commentary table hard while laughing:
"Hahahaha, you are right McCoy, whoever has the strength has the final say.
Obviously, Shay is the more powerful person today!
No matter what the situation, he can find his teammates and lead the team to complete the offense!"
McCoy's face is full of black lines, damn it was played by Shay.
Just now, Shea was about to make a mistake. Little did he know that Shea was sitting on the ground and could immediately find his teammate who was cutting in and pass the ball in.
What is this thing called?
To lose something again is undoubtedly the most devastating thing.
Kevin Johnson had clearly intercepted the ball just now and had already caught up and touched the ball.
Who knew that Shay would take the ball back in the end.
You can also find teammates immediately while sitting on the ground.
Shay must be fooled!
But then, Shea made several more pass shots.
For example, in the fifth minute of the first quarter, the Lakers still maintained a 6-point lead.
Kevin Johnson was tortured by Shea and found it difficult to break through, so he could only pass the ball as early as possible.
But when Johnson passed the ball, he saw Shea reaching out to block the passing route.
With his quick reaction and extremely long wingspan, Shay actually touched the basketball with his fingertips!
Kevin Johnson, who had 19 assists in the last game, was so blocked in the first quarter that he couldn't even pass the ball properly.
After Shay touched the basketball, the basketball flew vertically to Shay's side and behind.
Hornacek and Johnson moved toward the ball at the same time and jumped up, trying to get the ball back in their hands.
But Shay raised one hand high, turned around, jumped back, and grabbed the basketball like a crowd!
Both Johnson and Hornacek seemed to exist to set off Shay today.
Shay successfully grabbed the basketball and landed it, but because Shay had his back to the frontcourt at this time, it was difficult to launch a direct counterattack.
The Suns still have a chance to make up for their mistakes.
But who would have thought that with his back to the basket, Shay would directly pass the ball to the right side of the frontcourt with a back pass!
There was no one in that direction for the time being. Kevin Johnson smiled disdainfully, thinking that Shay was being cool and made a mistake.
McCoy also breathed a sigh of relief, Shay is still young.
Cool passes don't work in the playoffs.
How could such a frizzy young man possibly defeat the Sun?
But just when the basketball was about to go out of bounds, Dell Curry appeared in that position, held the ball firmly, and then cut inside with the ball!
The moment Shea grabbed the basketball, he already saw Dell Curry running up from the right.
So he passed the ball directly without turning around.
He is not trying to be cool, but he already knows where his teammates will appear.
After Shea made the steal, he directly launched a fast break without turning around, which naturally caught the Suns off guard again.
After receiving the basketball, Dell Curry easily scored a layup, and the Lakers opened the point difference to 8 points!
In the previous two games, the Lakers only led the Suns by 5 points at most.
As soon as Shea came back, the Lakers could easily gain an 8-point lead!
Kevin Johnson is convinced, so this pass is also fake, right?
It can only be said that the "Eagle Eye Perspective" badge unlocked yesterday has indeed taken Shay's cake-feeding ability to the next level.
Many of his seemingly misguided shots are actually 100% sure.
Under the leadership of Shea, the Lakers' offense played smoothly today.
The wonderful scenes come one after another, and Gao Chao never stops.
