To put it bluntly, the Nuggets are a team on the fringes of the playoffs. It can only be said to be lackluster, and it has not yet reached the point of exploding the crotch.

Therefore, many people are more willing to believe that the Lakers can win because the Nuggets are not good, not because the Lakers are capable.

Even after winning the game, Shay was still pushed to the forefront.

Just after training today, he was surrounded by reporters who rushed into the training hall:

"Shay, can the Lakers be saved this season? Do you think you are still in contention for the championship?"

"The team's pace has slowed down a lot this season. How much impact will this huge change have on the team?"

"Do you miss Barkley and Sprewell particularly now?"

Shay was extremely calm, wiping his sweat with a towel while answering reporters: "If I remember correctly, there will be 82 games in the regular season, right? We have only played 13 games, and you conclude that I have failed?

"

"However, the current situation is that the Lakers have no way to win a playoff-level team. Except for the Nuggets, but the Nuggets were only seventh in the Western Conference last season.

Moreover, you only defeated the Nuggets by only 4 points.

If the Nuggets' young Antonio McDyess hadn't missed both free throws at the critical moment, the outcome of the game might not have been certain."

Shay glanced at the reporter who responded to him. The microphone in his hand had the words "Daily Chicago" written on it.

A reporter from Chicago, no wonder.

Shay did not evade, but answered equally forcefully:

"There are not so many ifs in the game. Before, we only lost to the SuperSonics by 3 points, and lost to the Jazz and Bulls by 6 points. How many points we lose means we are not strong enough, and how many points others lose means they are unlucky?

Sir, are you unhappy with your life?"

The reporter from "Daily Chicago" was so shocked that he was speechless. After all, he did have double standards.

But soon, he forced out another smile:

"Okay, let's wait and see, Shay. In the next game, the team's opponent will be the eighth-placed Sacramento Kings in the Western Conference last season.

Another playoff-caliber team.

And it's a strong defensive team.

When you get 2 wins and 5 losses, let’s see what you have to say.”

Reporters are all eager for Shay to overturn, after all, he has offended fans and media in too many places in the past few years.

In the next game, the Kings are indeed not easy to play.

The Kings have now gradually come out of the haze of missing Shai.

Although the Kings just made it to the playoffs last season, they still stole a victory from the Lakers in the first round.

The Kings were the eighth-ranked defensive team last season, and ranked first in the league in limiting opponents' three-point shooting percentage.

The most important thing is that the Kings have Jordan's designated successor, one of the "three most difficult guards" in Jordan's words.

"The Rock" Richmond, second-team guard and All-Star MVP last season.

It is worth mentioning that the "three most difficult guards" in Jordan's words are Shea, Dumars and Richmond, and Drexler is not among them.

It is easier for Jordan to get Drexler than to get a Cuban model~

Richmond can be said to be an all-rounder, and is called Pierce at the second position by fans in the 21st century.

It's not that he has been stabbed before, but that he has no technical shortcomings on the offensive end.

He is also super selfless and willing to defend.

However, because the overall strength of the team is not strong, Richmond does not have any dazzling team results.

This made him the most underrated player of the 1990s.

The Kings were able to defeat the Lakers last season, so wouldn't they be able to defeat the Lakers this season?

Except for Los Angeles fans, almost everyone believes that the Lakers will be buried by the Kings.

By then, with a record of 2 wins and 5 losses, no matter how hard Shay talks, it will be useless!

In addition to Shea, Finley, the only rookie added by the Lakers this year, was also interviewed by several reporters.

Reporters asked him if he would be worried about defending against Richmond tomorrow.

But at this time, Finley was not worried about Richmond.

But Shay the next day!

During the training session the next day, Michael Finlay stood on the court uneasily.

After seeing Shay walking towards him, Finley deliberately lowered his head and tried not to look at Shay.

Shay stood next to Finley with a smile on his face: "You know Michael, I always thought there was something wrong with your selection."

Finley raised his head slightly, he also felt that there was something wrong with his position!

Finlay has never figured out why he fell out of the lottery with such an explosive physical condition.

Just because I'm a senior? That's not fair!

You stinky men only like those between 18 and 20!

What happened to us 22!?

He thought Shay would motivate him, but Shay said: "You don't deserve to be in the first round at all!"

The others looked in Finley's direction and shook their heads.

Once this pitiful rookie takes on Shay in a training match, he will be tortured both physically and mentally by Shay.

At the beginning of the training match, Shea did not control the ball, but stood in the middle distance on the right side.

Finley defended Shea closely, but his aggressiveness was still insufficient.

Shay saw the ball dribbling over, so he suddenly hit Finley on the chest with his elbow, and then raised his hand to ask for the ball:

"Quick, Nate, no one is guarding me! I'm wide open!"

Finley gritted his teeth and pressed forward, continuing to defend.

But as soon as he got closer, Shay gave Finlay a hard elbow and said, "I'm empty, I'm empty!"

Although Finley has a good temper, he was a little bit troubled by Shay.

Shea has been very aggressive with him since the first day of training camp.

If you make a small mistake during training, you will be scolded.

The confrontation was even more ferocious, making Finley a little afraid of Shay now.

But he found that fear could not solve the problem.

Shay is like a mad dog, biting himself as if he were his enemy.

At the beginning of today, he received two elbows again. The good-tempered Finley couldn't bear it anymore, so he pushed Shay!

"What are you doing? I'm here to play ball!"

Seeing that Finley actually pushed him, Shay winked and smiled at Carlisle on the sidelines.

But soon, Shay returned to his ferocious appearance."

"Playing basketball? Isn't that how basketball is played? As long as you can prevent me from scoring, you can use any method, and I won't be like a fucking bitch!"

After saying that, McMillan had already given the ball to Shay.

After Shay caught the ball, he turned around and faced the frame. Finley immediately put his palms in front of Shay's eyes.

But after three threats, Shea suddenly made a move, pushed Finley away with his shoulder, and got inside for an easy layup!

After the goal, Shea looked at Finley and shook his head: "In the second round, we should have picked you in the second fucking round!"

Finley gritted his teeth: "You just committed a foul!"

"Oh, my God, listen! Hahahaha, he said I just committed a foul!

You tell the referee the same thing during the game, and you see the referee ignores you.

Even if I fouled, I already got 2 points.

Now, it's your turn!"

Finley also became more energetic and took the initiative to ask for the ball and wanted to beat Shay alone.

In order to prevent being intercepted by Shea, he held the ball with his back.

However, Shay didn't even put up a defensive posture at all.

He just stood next to Finley with his hands hanging down naturally, with disdain in his eyes. When Finley turned over and shot a jumper, Shay did whatever he wanted and cut the ball off!

"Did you see that? If you have my defensive efficiency, then you can defend gracefully.

But if you can't do it, then you have to fight me honestly!

Your defense is too weak! You better remember what I said!"
