Chapter 331 330: The most embarrassing number one in the Western Conference in history, the Green Devil’s methods!
Shay succeeded in the ultimate alley-oop in the last 1.7 seconds and scored his 45th point of the game!
The moment the basketball jumped into the basket, the whole of Los Angeles seemed to be in an earthquake!
Although fans in Los Angeles can only watch live TV today, fans can still feel the passion and joy coming from the Alamodome.
For the first time in NBA history, the eighth in the division defeated the first in the division in the first round! For the first time in NBA history, someone was able to create a black eight miracle!
The team with the best regular season record this season was eliminated in the first round of the playoffs!
The Lakers, who were previously considered to have only a 0.1% chance of entering the playoffs, have now not only entered the playoffs, but will also go to the Western Conference semifinals!
David Stern was completely in despair. He could make the Celtics stumble throughout the 1990s, but he could not stop Shea from creating miracles!
At the game, Popovich was sitting on the bench, still replaying the scene that just happened in his mind.
He didn't know how Carlisle dared to arrange such a tactic, because it was simply gambling!
It was indeed a gamble. Carlisle knew that Pippen would be chasing Shea closely, and it would be difficult for Shea to get a chance to catch the ball.
Instead of fighting head-on, it would be better to take the wrong approach and catch the Spurs by surprise.
What Carlisle didn't expect was that when Shea ran back, Duncan could react so quickly and defend to the basket in time.
I have to say that Duncan's defensive ability is indeed quite terrifying.
The moment he saw Duncan leaping to grab the ball, Carlisle was actually mentally prepared to play overtime.
But what was even more unexpected was that Shay still completed such a difficult alley-oop despite being interfered by Duncan!
What else can Carlisle say? A player of Shea's caliber is born to create miracles!
Popovich sat on a stool, looked at the celebrating Lakers players, and then covered his head with his hands. In this lively stadium, Popovich, covering his head, looked extremely lonely. At this time, he looked completely different.
A shrewd coach, but just a helpless old man.
Popovich knows very well that this is the Spurs' best chance to win their first championship in franchise history.
Because the Spurs' lineup is already very old. Except for Duncan, the others are all old men who are approaching retirement age.
Men are no better than women. If a man is over 30, his health will only get worse year by year.
The team's competitiveness will also become worse year by year.
So next season, when the regular season resumes to a long 82 games, the aging Spurs may not be able to perform better than this, or have better physical reserves than this.
This is the closest window for the Spurs to win, but this window was ruthlessly closed by Shay!
The Spurs' ambitious season ended in the first round of the playoffs.
With 40 wins, they lost to the eighth seed in the Western Conference. It is not difficult to imagine how big a blow Popovich suffered.
The gap between reality and his expectation was really far.
Duncan was still lying on the ground, looking at No. 23 with his arms raised and roaring, his heart was filled with shock.
Duncan didn't even know how Shai was able to put the basketball into the basket even though his body was completely out of balance.
When Idiot was still in college, the war between Shai and Jordan was the theme of the entire basketball world.
At that time, Duncan often fantasized about what it would be like to compete with these two one day.
Now, he has the answer.
The feeling of competing with Shay can be summed up in one word - helplessness.
No matter how hard you try, no matter how perfect you do it.
Shay can always use all kinds of incredible ways to get you!
The previous pull-up in the air, and the extreme alley-oop just now. Besides Shay, who else can complete these two actions at the same time in one game?
Duncan sat on the ground, clenching his fists.
This was the most painful defeat in his career. He not only lost the playoffs, but also became the backdrop for the first black eight miracle in history.
However, Daidai also secretly made up his mind - in this life, he will never let anyone complete an alley-oop over his head again, and he will never be used as a background board again!
At this time, the idiot still didn't know that his days of becoming the number one person on the background board were still a long way off.
In the next 21st century, as far as Shay can think of, the Spurs will be defeated by alley-oops at least three times.
But no matter how many times he came, Shay always occupied an irreplaceable position in Duncan's heart.
After all, as the saying goes, the person who takes you away for the first time is always the most unforgettable for you.
No matter how many years pass, no matter how many times he is defeated, Idiot will always think of that night in May 1999, and the story that Shay had to tell.
The admiral stood there blankly, looking at Shay's back, completely stunned.
It's fine now. Being beaten by Olajuwon is finally no longer the most shameful thing in his career.
Because from today on, being hacked is the most shameful thing in his career!
Moreover, the admiral's performance in the final moments of this game was simply a disaster.
First, Perkins was missed, allowing Perkins to hit the key three-pointer that tied the score.
Then, under Shea's defense, he missed a key mid-range shot.
He simply ruined his last chance to win the championship with his own hands!
Looking at Shay and looking at Pippen next to him who was also completely autistic like himself, the admiral sighed.
Their group of stars are destined to be Shay's backdrop.
Speaking of which, in this history, Ewing, the only one among the four major centers who did not win a championship, got a ring instead.
But Olajuwon and the Generals, who originally had championships, have achieved nothing now.
Compared with the original history, Ewing has not become stronger, and the general and Olajuwon have not become weaker.
The only reason for this situation is that Ewing got a good thigh!
The Spurs players began to emo collectively, while the Lakers players were extremely excited at the moment.
Black eight miracle, the first time in history! This kind of joy is no less than the feeling when winning the championship!
They have never been favored, going from a 0.1% probability of advancing to the playoffs to having to face the despair of being No. 1 in the Western Conference in the first round.
Every step along the way for this Lakers team has not been easy.
Once again, Shay made the impossible possible.
Once again, he challenged everyone's perception.
The champions from Los Angeles have been tempered for a long time. They are determined and resilient. They are never afraid of strong enemies and will only become more courageous as they fight!
From now on, the Black Eight Miracle is no longer just a fantasy, but a terrifying deed that someone has actually accomplished!
After Shay and Duncan hugged each other, the reporters came over and couldn’t wait to interview Shay:
"Shay, this is the first time in history that the eighth in the Western Conference can defeat the first in the Western Conference in the playoffs! Is there anything you want to say!?"
In a rare moment, Shay shouted excitedly in front of the camera:
"I want to say that anything is possible!
The media is not optimistic about me, and my opponents think it is impossible for us to win.
Look at me now, I'm going to the Western Conference Semifinals!
Those who are looking forward to the fall of the Lakers dynasty, I'm sorry, you have to continue to endure it!"
Shay burst out all the suppressed emotions in his heart!
I don’t know how many people’s faces were swollen by this victory.
Stern, who was at the scene, looked at Shay who was yelling passionately and felt like he was being publicly executed!
Of course, if it's just black eight, it's okay.
But what Shay said next shocked the whole world:
"The Black Eight Miracle is just the beginning. Get ready, I'm going to get back what belongs to me! Anyone who stands in my way will end up with the same fate!"
What belongs to him is, without a doubt, the champion!
Shea not only wants to be eighth, but also wants to win the championship as eighth in the division!
Of course, in NBA history, there has never been a precedent for a team from the bottom half of the NBA to win the championship.
But at this time, no one dared to question the Lakers anymore.
The Black Eight Miracle has proven that Shay can do things that others cannot do!
So what's wrong with a team in the bottom half of the playoffs winning the championship?
This Spurs team, with Tim Duncan, Admiral and Pippen, won 40 games in the regular season, and is a true championship-level team. Since the Lakers can defeat them, what is impossible about defeating other opponents?
What about?
No one dares to underestimate the defending champion!
After a championship declaration, Shay took the championship ring from equipment manager Terry Teague, wore it on all five fingers, and then raised his arms high!
Seeing the jealous and hateful looks of Spurs fans, Shea smiled with satisfaction.
Be jealous, be hateful, there is nothing else you can do.
