Chapter 253 252: Completely deal with Barkley, it's the next turn(2/3)
Xie Yi was also impressed by Feizhu. He didn't expect that he could hold back so well and persisted for so long without breaking the habit.
It seems that my provocation is not enough!
Seeing that there were only 15 seconds left in the second quarter, Shay began to lower his center of gravity and prepare to attack.
The whole world is staring at Shai and Barkley, looking forward to their 1-on-1.
Barkley said nothing, just looked at Shay intently.
Shea still wanted to foul the Flying Pigs. Obviously Grant Hill and Webber were in very good condition today. Shea had to guard one of them to seal the victory today.
Only by letting Barkley off the court can Shea be distracted from dealing with the two rookies.
Therefore, Shea had to find a way to make Barkley continue to foul himself.
"Charles, please stop guarding me alone, I really can't bear to embarrass you.
Your defense is only a little better than Larry Bird's.
After all, Bird hasn't played basketball in years.
Don’t believe me? I’ll be able to get past you in one step later!”
Feizhu still didn't respond verbally, but his emotions were on the verge of exploding.
Shay suddenly accelerated towards the Flying Pig and changed direction in front of Barkley.
Feizhu judged the right direction and immediately blocked it.
But Shay's crotch changed back, and he immediately pulled the ball behind him, and turned around very smoothly!
If this were a top defender like Pippen or Jordan, it would be possible to get the ball from behind the moment Shea turned around.
But Feizhu didn't react so quickly, he could only watch as Shay passed by him.
Barkley was furious and immediately pursued him. Shay took two big steps and jumped up to prepare for a dunk.
Shay's shot came out too smoothly, so he didn't even have time to help defend.
Barkley was thrown too far and couldn't complete the block even if he jumped up.
Under normal circumstances, this kind of ball can only be defended.
But Barkley was really angry that Shay had just been so provocative to him, so when Shay was about to dunk, he grabbed Shay's waist and wanted to pull him off!
Barkley completely lost his mind. He would rather foul than see Shea easily score a goal on his head after provoking him in this round.
That's how basketball was in the 1990s. The dignity of most stars cannot be trampled on.
Just like many people only remember the famous scene when the AI double knocked down Daniels, but few people remember that Daniels later knocked down the AI with a fake shot and actually knocked down the AI, and gave a response.
No player like Daniels will be bullied by others, let alone a flying pig.
He certainly won't let Shea wantonly humiliate himself and then score goals wantonly.
But the problem is, the timing of Barkley's pull was not right.
He was trying to avoid fouling now, but it happened at this time.
What's even more uneconomical is that after Barkley grabbed Shea, Shea still relied on his arm length advantage to smash the ball into the frame! Barkley couldn't even catch Shea!
Shay's fingers were loose and his whole body was knocked to the ground by Barkley.
But the referee immediately blew the whistle, Shea's 2 points were valid, and there was an additional penalty!
If Barkley could hurt Shay this time, he would just take it out as a foul.
As a result, after Shay was knocked down, he immediately jumped up and waved his fists wildly in celebration. It looked like nothing was wrong.
Neither could he prevent Shay from scoring, nor could he see the painful expression on Shay's face.
Barkley got a foul for nothing!
The great injustice of Phoenix City!
Feizhu held it in for a whole session, but failed in the most uneconomical way!
On the sidelines, Suns coach Fitzsimmons was so angry that he wanted to eat roasted suckling pig.
I finally endured it until the end of the second quarter, but ended up breaking the precept in the last step, and all the previous efforts were wasted!
Barkley received his third foul, which meant that Barkley could only commit two more fouls in the second half.
If it happens a third time, he will leave the field with six fouls!
This is undoubtedly quite passive for the sun!
Barkley was also very helpless, it was Shay who seduced me first!
This is called a murder caused by a piece of voice.
After standing at the free throw line, Shea made a steady one-handed free throw.
After this extremely mocking free throw, Shay said softly as the Flying Pigs broke through the defense: "Is that all you need to do to stand up to Charles? I overestimated you before, but now Bird is here.
My defense is better than yours!"
Barkley walked into the tunnel full of anger. As soon as he walked in, reporters photographed Barkley kicking away the trash can.
It can be seen that Barkley's mentality has been almost destroyed by Shay.
He now completely lost the arrogance he had before, only full of anger.
Next, if the Flying Pigs fouls even once, the Suns will definitely replace him to protect him.
At that time, it will be the opportunity for the Lakers to open up the score!
On the other side, Suns coach Fitzsimmons reminded Barkley to stay calm:
"Shay just wants to force you to die, so that he can have energy to deal with other people! Don't let him succeed, don't let him lead you by the nose!"
But how could the Flying Pigs calm down? As Shay's mortal enemy, Barkley's mind is now full of Shay's trash talk.
If there's anyone in this league that Barkley doesn't want to lose the most, it's definitely Shea.
If he loses this series, doesn't it mean that he is not as good as Shay? Doesn't it mean that he is not worthy of MVP?
Isn't it true that he won two championships thanks to Shai?
Barkley couldn't calm down, and at this juncture, the Lakers actually changed to a more infuriating tactic to deal with the Flying Pigs in the third quarter.
In the third quarter, Shea continued to defend Barkley alone. However, Shea deliberately let Barkley take two steps. According to Carlisle's wishes, he let the shot go but not the sudden shot, trying to test Feizhu's shooting touch today.
After all, Carlisle has coached Fliggy for three seasons and knows Fliggy well.
Barkley's mid-range shot can be a winning shot when his hand feels good. When his hand feels bad, it's difficult to hit an open shot.
Now that Barkley is so impatient, Carlisle estimates that Fliggy will most likely not be able to feel it.
Sure enough, after the start of the third quarter, Barkley started a series of iron performances.
Shea deliberately took two steps away from Barkley, and then supplemented it with trash talk such as "Shoot, Charles, I won't guard you at all, you just shoot" and "Your shot is as ugly as your face."
This makes Barkley become more and more devoted, and the harder he becomes, the more unable to stop.
Watching Fliggy playing hard on the court, Fitzsimmons suddenly felt that there was no conflict at all between Shay and Fliggy, and they even had a good relationship.
No, Fliggy would rather go to the Suns as an undercover agent to ensure that Shay enters the finals!
The last show? The last show was performed by Buckley!
However, even though the Flying Pigs were like this, the Lakers still failed to open up the score in the third quarter.
The reason is simple, Grant Hill is crazy!
Because Shea had no time to care about others, Grant Hill faced Finley's single defense throughout the third quarter.
Both men have been hailed as Jordan's successors, and both are known for their superb physical fitness and invincible talent.
But as the saying goes, there is no harm without comparison.
Finley's talent is indeed very strong, but compared with Hill, it is simply the difference between Kobe and Jordan.
Finlay worked diligently and defended Hill very seriously.
What pictures did people see as a result?
In the second minute of the third quarter, seeing Barkley and Shea wrestling again, Hill decided to be selfish and beat Finley one-on-one with the ball.
Finley was very smart and knew that Hill's long-range shots were extremely weak, so he let him go two steps.
But Hill took his time and dribbled the ball slowly closer. When he was only one step away from Finley, he changed hands under his hips and prepared to break through to the right.
But at the moment when Finley's center of gravity shifted to the right, he saw Grant Hill suddenly change direction to the left without much pressure on his center of gravity!
Everything happened in just a split second. Even if Finley let Hill go some distance, he would not have time to react.
Grant Hill used his incredibly fast first step to get past Finley, and then scored a layup under the gorilla's defense!
Finlay had no idea how Hill did it. Hill's movements were obviously simple and his center of gravity was clearly not low.
But he can just pass the defender like a walk!
Finlay thinks that he is not slow and his explosive power is not bad. But the kind of start just now made Finlay feel amazing!
