Chapter 244 243: Is this point difference big enough? There will be a big shock in the summer of 1996?
More than two minutes ago, Karl Malone thought that his performance today was on par with Shay's.
Even better.
But at this moment, Karl Malone has fallen into the abyss.
He was completely destroyed by the man in front of him.
His head was directly pressed down by the man in front of him.
After Shea used a floating shot to draw a foul and score, he then used a one-handed free throw to open the point difference to 7 points.
Although the score difference in the game was not big, the process of the game was actually very anxious.
But Shay gave the impression that he won the game lightly.
When he exerted his strength at the critical moment, Karl Malone didn't even have a chance to make a desperate struggle.
Karl Malone tried his best, but Shay seemed to be just...
Play with him?
Ma Long was immediately extremely upset. I was taking it seriously, but you were just playing around?
You scumbag!
Jerry Sloan on the sidelines also sighed. Just now, the Lakers actually had no tactics on the offensive end. It was Shea's isolation.
But it was such a simple and crude way that the Lakers were about to win the game.
Once upon a time, as a tough guy who could still play even if he broke a bone, and as the first Bulls player to have his jersey retired, Sloan certainly knew the importance of stars in basketball games.
It's just that Sloan didn't expect that Shea was so powerful that he could override the Jazz's perfect tactics at critical moments and lead the team to victory on his own.
In the last few rounds of this game, Malone was completely reduced to a test strip for Shea to prove his star quality. Shea directly woke up Malone from his childhood dream with a morning urine.
Malone said he was on the same level as Shay? This is a joke!
It turns out that Shay does not have diabetes, but Malone didn't get any benefit from it.
If you think about it carefully, since 1991 until now, only two teams have been able to win the championship: the Lakers and the Bulls.
There are only two people who can win MVP and FMVP: Shay and Jordan!
Sloan shook his head. My Sir, it was unfortunate that he was born in the era of these two men.
At the last moment, Strickland's three-pointer bounced out of the frame, and the Jazz lost their last hope.
So, 98 to 91, with Shea's performance of 39 points, 7 assists, 3 rebounds, 4 steals and 1 block, the Lakers narrowly won the first game of the series at home with a 7-point advantage.
The total score is 1-0, taking the lead!
What kind of performance can the scoring champion perform in the playoffs? Shea delivered a perfect answer.
After the game, Malone quickly left the court with his head lowered.
His dignity has been trampled to pieces by Shay.
Before the game, Malone claimed that he was no worse than Shay and that he was also a man.
What's the result?
He was dunked by Shay, jumped over the head by Shay, and frightened by Shay's look.
Shay missed a drift shot, allowing Shay to make a free throw with one hand and lead the team to a reversal.
All of this makes Karl Malone's 28 points and 12 rebounds meaningless.
Xie Yi couldn't help but smile evilly as he looked at Ma Long who was escaping in embarrassment.
Do you think you can escape the fate of being breastfed by leaving the court early?
Impossible!
Soon, reporters on the scene gathered in front of Shay.
Naturally, the reporter first boasted about Shea's performance at critical moments and asked Shea what he thought of the game.
Shea looked serious: "This game made me fully realize that Carl is indeed a very strong player."
When most people say something like this, it means that the person being interviewed is trying to help their opponent regain respect, and they are exchanging business blows to give their opponent a step down.
But when Shea says something like this, reporters know that big news is coming!
Sure enough, Shay's follow-up was very inappropriate: "Ma Long is as strong as he is, and he was only a little bit close to beating me!"
This sentence is quite similar to what Jordan said after his big glider: "If you don't beat him, people will think you are a player of the same level as him."
It can only be said that if Shai and Jordan dominate the league for a day, the rest of the league will have a hard time.
However, the fact that Ma Long was breastfed like this still shows that he is not ruthless enough.
This is a superstar power forward in the 2020s. If he is humiliated by others, he will step on the opponent's ankle in the next round!
A real man never remembers an overnight grudge, he must avenge it on the spot!
It was another perfect night for Los Angeles fans.
After the game, no media will ever say such stupid things as "Malone is as good as Shay".
Do you think the outside world’s comments about you are unfair? Just show it to them.
At the critical moment, Ma Long could have just turned invisible, but he just took 2 risks and 1 kill.
It's hard for Shay not to be highlighted.
At the press conference, a reporter asked Malone: "You said that you and Shay are on the same level. On what basis did you come to this conclusion? As far as this game is concerned, you are not at the same level at all."
Of course, Malone, who has a good face, will not admit his failure easily:
"We only lost by 7 points. I admit that we lost, but the gap is not big. Why are we not on the same level?
It’s not certain who will win the series, right?”
Malone can only talk about the point difference. He urgently needs a victory now to regain his face.
But Ma Long has no intention of pretending.
Maybe it was the immoral act of eating the 13-year-old fruit that ruined his character. Malone had just complained about the point difference when he encountered a game with a very embarrassing point difference.
In G2 of the series, the tenacious Salt Lake City Legion continued to fight in the Great Western Forum.
Malone is also very aware of the importance of this game. If the Lakers lead 2-0 in a best-of-five game, it is basically the same as using Weixin to pay for prostitution - sooner or later it will overturn.
Before the start of the second game, Malone bit his finger and wrote on the locker: "I will win the Forum to the death, or I will die in the Pacific Ocean!"
At the beginning of the second game, Malone did play very strongly.
As soon as he came up, he made 5 of 5 shots from the field.
Shea only made 3 of 5 shots in the beginning.
Again, during regular time, there really isn’t much difference between Malone, Shay, and Jordan.
But today, there is no need to wait for the critical moment to decide the outcome.
Because after making 5 out of 5 shots, the Maroons were numb and not happy at all.
Although he made 5 of 5 shots, his teammates couldn't score a single goal in a sports game after playing for a long time!
Thanks to Malone's outstanding performance, the Jazz actually trailed by 6 points 14-20 in the first quarter.
That's right, the other Jazz players scored 4 points in the first quarter!
Two more points came from free throws!
Today, the Jazz's offense is still smooth. But the difference from usual times is that they really don't score when there is a chance!
The Jazz may have not recovered from their last defeat, or may have been confused by the feasting and entertainment in Los Angeles.
In short, during the entire first quarter, everyone on the Jazz team except Malone became soft-footed shrimps.
In their current state, let alone the NBA, it would be difficult to even play in the village BA!
Jerry Sloan's hair is half gray. When his tactics are still perfect but the players can't score, you know how difficult it is for a coach to win a championship.
Fortunately, the Jazz didn't fall far behind in the first quarter.
Sloan believes that as long as his hand can recover a little in the second quarter, the game will still be suspenseful.
However, Jerry Sloan underestimated his players.
The tough guys in Salt Lake City are all grown men who always tell the truth. If they say the hand feels bad today, it means the hand feels bad today. How can there be any reason to change your mind halfway?
Keep up the good work in the second quarter!
So in the second quarter, the Jazz completely collapsed. While they were working tirelessly to increase American's steel production, the Lakers' perimeter exploded.
In the Jazz's strategy of "letting go", the Lakers scored a bunch of three-pointers.
To be continued...
