Chapter 248 247: Destroy the gloves, the undoubted DPOY!

Ewing has always been a misunderstood man.

Knicks fans complain that Ewing's offensive ability is at the bottom among the four major centers, but don't you realize that the Knicks' offensive space is also at the bottom of the entire league.

Knicks fans complain that Ewing can't play too softly at critical moments, but they forget that he didn't dare to gain weight because his knees were damaged in college.

The New York media has been smearing Ewing for three days, making him even less of a star in the public's mind.

But who knew that the Knicks' historic defense was built with Ewing at its core.

Who knows how difficult it is for Ewing to maintain an average of 20+ per game with a shooting percentage of about 50% for many years in that extremely abnormal offensive space.

Who knows, this guy is actually not weak at all. He was dunked a lot simply because he defended actively and always appeared in the right position, just like the No. 1 pick who had not improved.

Who will remember that he once forced the omnipotent Jordan into a tiebreaker!

But Ewing never defended himself much. He just silently did what he should do and fought for victory with his own blood and flesh.

Therefore, Ewing can always do something unexpected.

When everyone thinks he can't do it, he often shows you what he can do!

And today, this guy who everyone thought was finished, this guy has withdrawn from the ranks of superstars.

He persevered in the second half of G1 of the Western Conference semifinals and went completely crazy!

Shay's frontal breakthrough forced Rainman to attack from a double team. Shay took advantage of the double team and threw it before the double team was fully formed.

Under Payton's tug and Kemp's interference, although Shai had a throwing action package, the basketball still bounced out.

But at this time, Lakers fans no longer worry.

They knew that the man could definitely take the ball off again!

After Kemp interfered with Shay's throw, his face did not look relaxed. Instead, he nervously turned around and ran towards the basket.

But when Kemp turned around, it was already too late.

He only saw the gorilla with his knees covered with protective gear, bypassing McKay who was not in a good position, leaping up with all his strength, and taking the lead with one hand to get the basketball that came out of the frame.

Then, Ewing directly exerted force in the air, smashed the ball into the basket, and successfully scored a tip-in!

The basketball stand swayed up and down, highlighting the power of the dunk just now.

McKay looked shocked, he had obviously been stuck!

Ewing grinned and roared to the sky, and even Shay, a King Kong-type actor, wouldn't even look at it!

Ewing's top-notch rebounding sense allowed him to find his spot immediately.

SuperSonics fans were collectively silent. Although the extra dunk only lost 2 points, it was because this was Ewing's 11th offensive rebound today.

11 offensive rebounds!

This means 11 second-attack opportunities!

Since the beginning of the second half, the Sonics' rebounding has been completely blown to pieces.

Everyone focused on Shai, the basket was empty, and Ewing did whatever he wanted.

Although Derek McKay is a secondary defense player, he has never been an excellent rebounder.

And compared to defending a strong inside line alone, McKay is more suitable for assisting defense.

So when you lock Ewing with him, he is like a young girl locked up in a private room of the Gold Club and can only be ravaged by Ewing.

At first, Ewing just grabbed rebounds and passed the ball to his teammates.

But later, Ewing discovered that he could score even if he stepped directly under the basket. As long as Kemp didn't get in the way, Ewing could score steadily.

Until now, Ewing found that he didn't even need to be strong at the basket, I just made up the dunk!

After this ball was scored, the Lakers were already 4 points ahead of the SuperSonics!

At this point, the game ends in five minutes.

Seattle fans couldn't believe their eyes. The team had defeated Shea, but was cornered by an old man who was past his prime?

That's what the big Ming gorilla is like. When you think he's powerful, he'll pull it off.

But when you thought he couldn't do it, he did it again.

Schrödinger's ape.

Carlisle's hanging heart was finally relieved, and the facts proved that his strategy was not wrong.

Seattle's defensive mobility is so strong that it can indeed interfere with outside shots, causing the Lakers to be unable to hit shots stably.

But when Ewing hits the basket, his stability is naturally much higher than long-range shots.

McKay's single defense was completely unable to defeat the Gorilla, and he was a completely different player in the first and second half.

It gives the impression that he was tough in the first half and tough in the second half!

The SuperSonics had to suspend the game. Now a very obvious fact is before their eyes. In addition to Shea, the SuperSonics also need someone to help defend Ewing, and this person will undoubtedly be Kemp!

In other words, there must be one less person responsible for flanking Shay!

Although he was very reluctant, George Karl could only arrange his tactics like this.

Next, Kemp was responsible for repeatedly jumping between Ewing and Robinson.

Others are responsible for guarding Shea.

After the rearrangement, George Karl slapped the tactical board and said, "Do you have confidence!"

"Huhu. Huh. Yes, have confidence."

Old Carl:

No, can you shout a little more powerfully?

The micro-business people shout louder than you!

It’s not that everyone on the Sonics team has no momentum, it’s that they’re so exhausted right now that they can’t even shout.

Pressure and double-teaming start from the first quarter. This is equivalent to the kind of game played by boys and girls. The boys rush from the beginning. Most people can't stand it.

Only people like Kemp, who exercise regularly, seem to still have strength now.

George Karl's original intention was to lock up Shay and tire him to death.

In the end, everyone was tired and unable to fight back. The Sonics just had to hold on to their advantage.

But who would have thought that now I am tired and exhausted, and my advantage is gone.

Moreover, after playing with two or three people for such a long time, Shay still seemed to be able to do it with ease.

George Karl is indeed a famous coach, but it seems that everything he planned before the game was not in place!

Now, the players are exhausted, and Kemp can't join in the containment of Shea.

George Karl swallowed his saliva and felt something was not good.

Time waits for no one. Before everyone on the Sonics team can take a few breaths, the game begins again.

Old Karl clenched his fists to comfort himself. Even if Kemp was away, Shea would face at least two defenders.

It is also not easy to score a goal in such a situation.

It doesn’t matter, if you can win, you will definitely win!

We are number one in the West!

The game restarts, SuperSonics have the ball.

Payton breathlessly dribbled the ball past halftime. He was guarding Shea all the time today. Even when Shea was off the ball, Payton was competing with Shea for position.

The amount of consumption can be seen clearly.

In the original history, although Payton was "conferred" as a god in one game in 1996, if you take a closer look, you will see that Payton usually only defended Jordan for one and a half quarters at most.

He couldn't bear any more.

But today, Payton had guarded Shay for three and a half quarters.

His physical fitness has long been in decline.

But Shay in front of Payton still had a relaxed look on his face.

It's certainly shocking that Shay has been double-teamed for so long, but don't forget, Shay has someone hanging out of his body.

Don't look at the inferior horse, today Shay's "Strike Two Brothers" badge is bound to Robinson.

Rain Man lived up to expectations and blew Robinson out of the water.

The water that Robinson just spilled was everywhere on the bench, on the floor, on the towels!

How embarrassed Robinson is, how relaxed Shea is!
