After halftime, the Nuggets were already 16 points behind!

If we continue to play in the third quarter, the game will almost enter garbage time.

When the time comes, will Shea bite the bullet and dare to play hard in the garbage time, or will he sit on the bench and watch the scoring title being taken away by Jordan?

No matter which choice is made, it will be very embarrassing for Shay.

If you don't brush it, what you will lose is a real honor.

Come on, the Admiral's scoring champion is still being scolded. Instead of becoming his honor, that scoring champion has become his stain.

Although they are all honors, the honors obtained under different circumstances have different gold content.

Jordan lit a 10cm long cigar and held it skillfully in his mouth, watching with joy as Shay fell into a difficult decision.

From Jordan's point of view, in the current situation, no matter whether Shai wins the scoring title or not, his reputation will be overshadowed by his own!

After the start of the second half, Shea did not play, but planned to rest for a few minutes before going all out to win the game.

Of course, it's also possible that the Nuggets suffered a complete defeat and were eliminated before Shea came on the court.

Seeing Shay with a solemn face even though he was leading by 16 points, Jordan felt so happy~

Either gain points in garbage time, or give up the scoring title. Two bottles of poison, Jordan will watch Shay drink it himself!

However, as soon as the second half started, the Nuggets scored a three-pointer.

Still a very outrageous three-pointer.

Nuggets No. 1, who suddenly started in the second half, controlled the ball after halftime and took advantage of Mutombo's pick-and-roll to quickly shoot a three-pointer!

You know, in this era that doesn't pay attention to three-pointers, few players will directly shoot three-pointers while holding the ball.

Unless there is a lack of time and you have to take a shot, three-pointers with the ball are not popular these days.

Dell Curry, who was responsible for guarding him, also immediately bypassed the screen and stretched his arms to interfere.

But the Nuggets No. 1's shooting speed is very fast. In just the blink of an eye, the basketball has been thrown.

Seeing this guy shooting a three-pointer while dribbling and being interfered with, most Lakers fans didn't take it to heart.

How could such a random ball be scored?

Not as reliable as Shai's one-handed free throw with his eyes closed.

If someone shot like this in the small ball era, fans would think it was normal.

But in the 1990s, shooting like this in the basketball world was like looking for true love in a KTV to fans - it was simply impossible!

However, Nuggets No. 1's seemingly self-defeating shot hit the net accurately!

As soon as the Nuggets came up, they hit a three-point goal that was only seen in the small ball era!

The score difference returned to 13 points. Shay raised his head slightly, but still found no clues.

It's just an outrageous three-pointer occasionally, it doesn't matter.

The Lakers then attacked, and the gorilla's bunny hop continued to strike despite Mutombo's interference.

McDyess grabbed the rebound and without hesitation, gave the ball to the Nuggets No. 1 who had just come on the court.

Dell Curry can shorten the distance to defend No. 1 this time, and does not want to give No. 1 any room to take action.

Nuggets No. 1 was not in a hurry. He slowed down after reaching 45 degrees on the right side of the three-point line, and then changed hands under his hips, as if he was about to break through.

Because Nuggets No. 1 is very fast, seeing him about to break through, Old Curry quickly took a step back.

Who knew that this Nuggets No. 1 actually shot a three-pointer after changing hands last night? Shea was stunned. This rhythm, this shot, this style of play, he definitely did not come from Oakland in 2023.

No. 30?

This kind of shot choice was unimaginable in the 1990s, and he has already made two in a row!

After two three-pointers, the Lakers' lead was suddenly reduced to 10 points.

The Nuggets No. 1 didn't pretend to celebrate after shooting the ball. Instead, his whole body twitched very strangely, as if it was an uncontrollable twitch.

Only then did Shea remember that the Nuggets' No. 1, who suddenly started in the second half, was the famous shooter known as Curry's draft template and O'Neal's boss during the NCAA period, Mohammed Abdul-Rauf!

Rauf was a maverick player in the 1990s. As a small man with a height of only 1.85 meters, Rauf averaged 5.4 three-pointers per game and was already an anomaly.

What is even more unusual is the way he shoots three-pointers. In this era, most shooters usually use screens to bounce outside the three-point line, catch the ball and shoot three-pointers, or directly catch the ball at a fixed point and then shoot from long range.

But Rauf is just like Curry. He can suddenly shoot a three-pointer while dribbling. The direct pull-up from behind the crotch just now was very Curry.

The most important thing is that his hit rate is not low when he does this!

In college, Rauf relied on his unreasonable shooting to average 30.2 points per game in his rookie year, setting a freshman scoring record that no one could break.

When O'Neal first joined the Tigers, he served Rauf tea and water.

This season, on the shortened three-point line, Rauf can also shoot 39.2% from three-point range!

As a small man of 1.85 meters, in this era of hand-to-hand combat, it is not easy to shoot such a three-point shooting rate!

Let’s put it this way, Rauf is more like Steph’s biological father than the old Curry who is responsible for guarding him!

If it weren't for the fact that Rauf is religious and unlikely to mess around, Shay would have wanted Dell Curry to take Stephen's son for a DNA test!

Because of his superb three-point shooting, Rauf's scoring power is particularly explosive.

This season, Rauf has repeatedly delivered impressive performances.

Against the Mavericks on November 24 last year, Rauf made 8 of 11 three-pointers and scored 39 points and 10 assists. He defeated the "Three J" combination that Dallas people are proud of!

After the game, the only person Rauf praised was Lao Hu: "I'm surprised that the Chinese guy is highly myopic. If his eyes can see clearly, he may be more accurate than me."

Damn it, if Hu could see clearly, he wouldn't know how to shoot.

When he first arrived in the NBA, the Mavericks provided Hu with sports glasses.

As a result, Lao Hu couldn't score a goal during that period of time. He often made 0 of 4 and 0 of 3 from beyond the three-point line.

Later, Lao Hu plucked his eyes out in anger, "Oh, that's right!"

He can't score a goal without looking at three ghosts!

Although he praised Lao Hu, Rauf still scored high points despite the "Three J's" taking turns to defend, which is enough to illustrate his strength.

On December 7, the Nuggets challenged the Jazz away from home. Facing the little Stockton, the best defender in history, Rauf's three-pointers kept falling into the basket like raindrops.

In the end, Rauf scored a career-high 51 points on the famous Stockton!

He scored more points in that game that night than Malone and Stockton combined!

Of course, the above is nothing. The most famous battle of Rauf took place on February 4 this year.

He led the team to give the all-powerful Bulls a defeat!

Bulls fans didn't pay much attention to that game. Why watch the Nuggets game? When I woke up, it was another big victory!

But as they fought, Bulls fans realized something was wrong. After halftime, the Nuggets actually led 68-43!

Although Jordan broke out strongly in the third quarter, scoring 22 points in a single quarter to try to win the game.

But Rauf told Jordan, when I feel good, you have to go to the children's table for me!

In the end, Rauf scored 32 points and scored the decisive goal in the last 54 seconds, giving the powerful Bulls a defeat!

Jordan tried his best, but still couldn't snatch the victory from Rauf.

After the game, Rauf spread his hands and said: "Jordan? He can only smell my exhaust!"

This may be one of the few people who can pretend to be in front of Jordan and still get away with it.

Educate newbies, score 50+ points in a single game, defeat the Bulls and Jordan

With this resume, if you say he is a superstar, people will believe him!

Rauf has a low sense of presence and even couldn't start in the first half today. This is not because of his lack of strength, but because he has a strange disease called "Tourette syndrome".

This disease is not life-threatening, but once it strikes, his whole body will twitch uncontrollably.

This disease is a hereditary disease, passed on to him by his father, whom he has never met since he was born.

What a good father. Although he didn’t want children, he still left such a large legacy to his children!

Rauf's career has not been as great as expected because of this disease.

Because of this disease, he often hits and misses when he is in a hot state.

No, this season is just because he has been sick from time to time. Counting today's game, he has only played 57 games this season.

Originally, Rauf couldn't play in this game. The Nuggets didn't put him in the starting lineup because they didn't plan to let him play.

Judging from the way he was still twitching just after scoring a goal, his illness was indeed still on the rise.

But there is no other way. If the Nuggets want to enter the playoffs, they can only put their money on Rauf!

Jordan in front of the TV saw Rauf actually scoring two unreasonable three-pointers in a row, and suddenly became a little nervous.

This guy won't ruin my good deeds again, right?

Nuggets No. 1 was one of the few people Jordan was afraid of falling over when he met him.
