Shea's answer made Philadelphia fans very unhappy.

Although AI is a rookie, he is definitely the kind of rookie rarely seen in history.

Before losing to Iverson, Jordan also felt that Iverson was nothing special!

So that night, programs on all major channels were crazily criticizing Shay:

"At this time tomorrow, Shay will definitely refresh his knowledge of AI."

"Iverson is different from other rookies. Shea will pay a heavy price for underestimating his opponent."

"In fact, I don't think anyone in the league can guard Iverson! Not even Shay!"

The media is so excited because they don't think the 76ers will definitely beat the Lakers.

But they all feel that the score of AI will definitely not be too low!

As long as Iverson scores more than Shea tomorrow, it's considered a victory!

Even the AI ​​itself looks confident.

In a talk show that night, Iverson, wearing Shea brand clothes, talked about:

"There will be no personal relationships tomorrow, I will go all out! I am completely different from who I was in the summer!

Privately, I certainly have a lot of respect for Shay.

But on the basketball court, I have no respect for anyone, including Shay!

Everyone feels that they can easily get a rookie No. 1 pick.

But so far this season, too many teams have failed here.

The Lakers are bound to lose the first game, and the first person to defeat them, why can't it be me?"

Iverson's words made the entire Philadelphia fans extremely excited.

What a miracle of David defeating Goliath, what a basketball version of Rocky, what a passionate story of young people who are full of energy and are about to overthrow the old rulers.

Can this not make the whole of Philadelphia boil?

In these stories, former kings like Shay often become the backdrop.

But Shay, he's not going to be anyone's foil!

Not even if AI is its own spokesperson!

This time, the "villain" will win the final victory!

The next day, at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, reporters conducted a pre-game interview with Shay:

"Shay, even if AI has defeated McDull, even if he has scored 40+ points in five consecutive games, do you still think you can beat him? There must be no suspense at all?"

"Of course, there is no suspense at all!" Shay replied decisively.

"So, how do you think AI can perform on your head today?"

"It's a performance that's less than 30 years old."

After Shea answered, the reporters couldn't help laughing.

If it’s less than 30, then it’s more than 20 points?

Being scored more than 20 points by a rookie doesn't seem like something worth showing off, right?

Looking at Shay's cheating and coaxing appearance, he thought he was very confident, but in the end, he was shocked by AI's performance of 40+ points in five consecutive games.

You really use the toughest attitude to say the softest words!

Just when Philadelphia fans and media were feeling proud, Shea added:

"Oh, don't get me wrong. What I mean is that the shooting percentage does not exceed 30%, not that the score does not exceed 30.

I can even let him play half court first and still limit his shooting percentage to less than 30%.

After all, if I were to mark him the entire game, it would look like my spokesperson was weak."

Any great player will display this calmness when facing a rookie.

Bird once asked Kemp when he was facing rookie: "Are you the brat who broke countless high school records of mine?"

Then he scored 40 points in a triple-double and roared: "But remember, I am the best player in Indianapolis!"

Former rookie Miller provoked Jordan, and then made Jordan leave the sentence: "Don't mess with Black Jesus."

Now, onto Shay.

He threatened to keep Iverson's shooting percentage below 30% even in half-court.

It's fine if it's less than 40%, but Shea is talking about less than 30%.

It’s not easy to hit just over 20% in a basketball game!

What's more, it's a talented scorer like AI.

Philadelphia fans are all sitting back and watching Shai pretend to be bad. Not all big players can succeed when they pretend to be in front of rookies.

The first half of the game really gave Philadelphia fans hope.

In the first attack of the game, Iverson used a very beautiful crossover to pass Finley, who defended well.

This shot was almost exactly the same as the shot he made past Jordan before, and the process was even simpler.

Iverson made a move to break through to the left, with his entire body exposed.

The result? The AI ​​quickly changed direction to the right, causing Finley, who had moved laterally in advance, to be directly thrown away.

When Jordan faced this move, he could react immediately and pounce on it, almost blocking the AI. As for Finley, he didn't even have a chance to make amends.

After getting away from Finley, AI easily scored a mid-range jumper, giving the 76ers the lead.

Shay is actually very pleased. The AI ​​in history is more efficient because of its better shooting stability.

A lot of solid shooting and stuff.

The stronger he is and the greater his influence, the more he can help Shay bring goods.

One round later, Iverson made a comeback.

In the previous Lakers' offense, Shea's shot was blocked by Garnett's timely defense.

Today, Garnett is eerily quiet.

He, who was always mumbling nonsense on weekdays, was unusually quiet today as if he had taken dumb pills.

Garnett is a husky, not a fish, and he has memory.

He still hasn't forgotten how he talked about the trouble last season, got burned, and was brutally killed by Shay.

So today, KG forcibly suppressed his desire to speak.

Shay taught us to play ball quietly and behave in a civilized manner!

However, although he spoke less, Garnett's enthusiasm on the defensive end today has not diminished at all.

The man who is the best at making mistakes in the world does not dare to mess with Shay again, but he also hopes to win back a victory in front of Shay.

Therefore, Garnett was extremely active on the defensive end today.

In addition, Rodman basically didn't have to worry about it, which made Garnett's cover defense even more unscrupulous.

In this first defense, he successfully defended Shay who had already broken through, causing Shay to strike.

The basketball bounced off the frame. Coleman, the No. 1 pick in 1990, took the rebound and handed it to the AI.

As soon as Iverson dribbled the ball past half court, he immediately accelerated without saying much nonsense.

Finlay wanted to overtake and block him, but Iverson deftly changed direction and swayed him away. Then, facing the double defense of Rodman and Mutombo, Iverson jumped up and turned sideways.

The two men passed through the gap and hit a layup!

This wave of Iverson is equivalent to 1 vs. 3 and still scores!

For a time, the entire Fuguo Center was boiling.

The frame-protecting combination of Rodman and Mutombo has to go out sideways even if the shark comes.

But what about the short Iverson? He actually easily scored on the two of them!

Iverson really doesn't look like a rookie. His scoring ability has almost reached the threshold of a superstar!

He made 2 of 2 shots at the start, a 100% hit rate.

Philadelphia fans cheered for joy. Shay blew a big blow today!

By holding Shai's shooting percentage below 30%, do you think you are beating Drexler?

Since then, AI has been working very hard to score points.

His scoring skills made Finlay miserable.

Finley has really experienced what it means to have as many saints as dogs. When he was a student, he was also known as a person with explosive crotch. But when he entered the NBA, he didn't know if his crotch was delicious or not, but everyone's crotch exploded better than his!

And when Iverson was scoring points like crazy, what was Shay doing?
