In the final moments of Game 1998 of the [-] Finals, Shai used a drift back on the right wing and threw the ball under Reggie Miller's full pursuit.
1998, the first year of Michael Jordan's second retirement.
Under the leadership of McGrady and Van Horn, the Chicago Bulls are happy to mention the first place in the reverse league.
With 11 wins in the whole season, the Eastern Conference is at the bottom, and the Nuggets, who also have 11 wins in a single season in the Western Conference, are shining for a while.
The average ticket price of the Bulls in the 97-98 season was only half of that of last season, and it still couldn't resist the crazy drop in attendance.
No one knows how Krause feels at this time. After all, just a season ago, they lost only 11 games in the regular season and were the most popular team in the league.
In just one year, it became only 11 wins in the regular season, and the ticket revenue was greatly reduced.
Do you really think the fans are here to watch the game?No, fans, like book fans, come to watch people.
Came to see Michael Jordan.
Klaus's ability to dismantle teams is so strong that it is estimated that only the 6-year-old Ou Shenxian can match it.
Therefore, instead of the Chicagoans reaching the finals, it became the Indiana Pacers who fought the Bulls in seven games in the Eastern Conference Finals in the original history.
Bee King Bird led his trash-talking three-point assassin out of the East!
Knicks?LOL, they couldn't even snatch a win from the Pacers.
The Pacers' Dutch giant Smits averaged 19.5 points per game against the Sharks, the highest in the team!Simply because the Sharks never pounce to defend against the opponent's mid-range shot.
Smitz and Reggie Miller relied on one-handed pick-and-roll cooperation, abused O'Neill incompetently and furiously cursed:
"If the Dutchman dares to play me one-on-one, I can beat him!"
But such clamor is like "Oh no" in a woman's mouth, and it will only make the attacker work harder.
In this way, the Sharks still maintain their record of being swept once a year.
In order to express their determination to defeat and win the championship, the tenacious Pacers even cut their hair and shaved their heads, becoming a beautiful landscape in the NBA.
But just when the people in the Big Cornfield thought they could reach the top at last, the most undisputed basketball god and the most terrifying basketball devil didn't give them any chance!
In the first two games of the series, the Lakers took the Pacers firmly in the Great Western Forum.
Those championship banners seem to tell the Pacers players that they are playing a final that is destined to have no good ending.
Back in the Big Cornfield in the third game, the tenacious and unyielding Reggie Miller contributed the classic push lore.Of course, the person he pushed changed from Jordan to Shai.
This tenacious blow allowed Reggie Miller to help the team regain a victory.
It is really hard for people to imagine how this skinny guard can compete with Shay, a basketball god.
Shay also shook his head. Although the Pacers were defeated in the first two games, Reggie Miller deserves to be the toughest player in the 90s.
It is worthy of being the tough guy who rejected Logo recruitment two years ago, refused to form a team with Shay, and said that he must lead the Pacers to defeat the Lakers.
However, that's about all the Pacers and Reggie Miller can do.
After this game, the Pacers angered God.
In the fourth game, Shay scored 45 points and gave Reggie Miller a 12-point defeat.
And then there is today.
The Pacers are united and have been biting the score, but they have been unable to overtake.
33 seconds before the end of the game, the Pacers are still 3 points behind.
At this time, the four-time MVP, the scoring champion, the stealing champion, and the DPOY for three consecutive years are the most undisputed kings in the basketball world.
Throw the basketball through your fingertips with a drifting fadeaway on the right wing of the court.
Then, under Larry Bird's serious gaze, the basketball passed Reggie Miller and went into the net!
Shay, the 38th point of the game.
In the last 32 seconds of the game, the point difference was opened to 5 points!
Reggie Miller crossed his hips, his face full of helplessness.
His defense just now was obviously impeccable, and he didn't lose his position at all.
In fact, Reggie Miller's defensive performance in this year's Finals was very good.
But time and time again, Shai puts the ball in the basket when there's absolutely nothing wrong with his defense.
This goal made the fans watching TV in Los Angeles cheer.
Because right now, Shay could very well be.
The first player to win three consecutive championships since the 60s!
"In the last 32 seconds, Shay is only 32 seconds away from establishing a three-peat dynasty!
We are witnessing history! "
Amidst the shouts of the on-site commentary, Shay smiled and glanced at Reggie Miller.
Shea admitted that Miller was a first-class tough guy, a real man.
If he wasn't too stubborn and unwilling to leave the big cornfield, Shay actually really hoped to be teammates with someone like Miller.
But no matter how much he appreciates each other, on the basketball court, Shay will not be soft-hearted!
He looked at Miller who was already in despair, and said softly:
"Reggie, you really are the best player on the planet.
After all, you are the only person besides Jordan who can force me to use 80% of my strength.
You are strong, but sorry, I am God!
Remember, don't mess with Basketball Jesus! "
After listening to Reggie Miller, his heart was broken into dregs.
The Pacers team has tried their best, and Reggie Miller has also shown what he has learned all his life.
But as Shay said, he only used 80% of his strength.Miller's all, in exchange for only Shay's ease.
So far in this year's finals, Shay is only in G4, scoring more than 40 points in a single game.
In the finals of last season, Shay averaged 40+ per game in the finals against Jordan!
This is not because of Shai's declining scoring ability, but because Shai doesn't need to score so many points to beat the Pacers.
The Pacers can't even force a single strongest Shay!
In fact, the Pacers did not lose to the Lakers in terms of staffing or tactical strategy.
As the best coach of the year, Bird's level is self-evident.
But they can't beat the Lakers, and they lose without Shay!
The Pacers are a very strong defensive team, but their offense can only be regarded as the middle of the league.
It's similar to the Lakers.
The difference is that the Lakers have a super scorer and the Pacers don't!
This led to the critical moment, the Lakers' offensive ability is stronger than the Pacers, which is why the Lakers can have the advantage!
To put it bluntly, it was because of Shay!
And as far as Reggie Miller knows, Shai is still playing with an ankle injury.
This tenacious son of the cornfield has been completely conquered.
After one round, Shai's defense allowed Reggie Miller to hit the iron with a key three-pointer.
From the fourth quarter to now, Shay only allowed Miller to score 4 points.
Shay, on the other hand, scored 21 of the Lakers' 10 points in the fourth quarter.
With his terrible personal ability, he blocked the last light and hope of the Pacers.
Mutombo grabbed the rebound and Dutch giant Smits had to foul Mutombo in a desperate tactical move.
But everyone knows it doesn't help.
As long as that No. 23 is on the court, it seems impossible for the Lakers to ever lose the Finals.
Sure enough, Mutombo's two free throws didn't change anything.
At the last moment, Mark Jackson missed a quick three-pointer. Unfortunately, the Pacers fell by 6 points in the finals!
On the court, Shay pursed his lips, jumped up, punched, and swept the world!
Three consecutive championships, Shay's reaction was calmer than expected.
He didn't have the excitement he had when he won the championship for the first time in 93.
There is no excitement of winning the championship for the second time in 94.
There were no tears after winning the championship for the third time in 96.
There is no glass of wine that I respected my ankle in 97.
It's as simple as punching, raising arms, and ruling the alliance.
This year, the obstacles the Lakers have encountered along the way are too small.
68 wins in the regular season, this is because Carlisle was afraid that someone would be injured in the playoffs, so he deliberately missed a few games at the end of the season.
Otherwise, you can win 70+ games.
The playoffs only lost two games, one was lost to the Jazz in the Western Conference Finals, and the other was pushed away by Miller.
Phoenix Suns?Unfortunately, the Flying Pig Jazz injured his back during the regular season and failed to catch the last train of the playoffs.
So when the Suns lost Barkley in the playoffs, they failed to meet the Lakers in the Western Conference Finals for the third consecutive year.
No Sun, no Jordan.All of this made Shay's three consecutive championship seasons uneventful.
A calm victory, a calm harvest of honor, and a calm championship.
Shay looked at Reggie Miller and sighed.
Sometimes Shay wished so much that he was beating Michael Jordan at the moment.
Miller is strong, but
It's still a bit off.
Three consecutive championships, the fifth championship in seven years of his career.
This made Shay feel that everything seemed to be without challenges.
These three consecutive championships are too easy, which man likes Mugong?
Mike, Michael, what did you say you left so early?
It is said that Jordan is now preparing to be his own boss.
Xie Yi sighed, you don't really think you are talented in everything, do you?With your draft level, you might as well choose blindly with your eyes closed. What kind of boss should you be?
Shay came on stage and took away his championship and FMVP, just like a routine every year.
Stern smiled as brightly as last year. Finally, since the 60s, the league has finally had another serious three-peat dynasty!
Last summer, Shai's influence has already made the NBA popular.
With the three consecutive championships achieved this year, Shay's popularity must be at its peak!
but
It's enough that Xie Yi is so strong, no matter how strong he is, everyone can't keep playing.
Things like the Celtics' 8 consecutive championships and 13 championships in 11 years will never happen in the hands of Stern.
So much for Shay's brilliant story!
Seeing Stern's complicated expression, Shay also knew that this summer would be extremely turbulent.
Because in the summer of 98, there will be a new round of labor negotiations.
During the last labor negotiation, both the player and the owner reached an agreement:
If the total salary of the players exceeds 51.8% of basketball-related income, the employer has the right to terminate the agreement in advance three years after the agreement takes effect and renegotiate.
There is no doubt that player revenues now far exceed that figure.
In March, the league announced data that the total wages of players exceeded 3% of basketball revenue, and 57 teams in the league were at a loss.
In fact, in the process of Shay winning the three consecutive championships, the representatives of the two sides have already conducted 8 rounds of negotiations!
It's just that neither side has come to an agreement.
The bosses want to add a hard salary cap to the NBA to prevent the emergence of a second superstar with an annual salary of 4000 million like Shai.
Even if there is only one Shai in the league, the bosses can't stand more and more players getting tens of millions of annual salaries.
Just before the expiration of the last labor agreement, there was no player in the league with an annual salary of tens of millions. At that time, the Admiral's annual salary of 730 million was already astonishing.
But now, just three or four years later, the highest salary in the league has become Shay's 4000 million!
And the highest salary in the league back then was 730 million, and now it can't even make it into the top 20.
So after winning the championship and returning to Los Angeles this time, although the fans are still very happy, although the news of Shay's "officially becoming a god" emerges endlessly.
But whether it is the player or the owner, there is a little more worry on the face.
After all, if there is a shutdown, it will be a huge loss for both parties.
On June 6, less than a week after winning the championship, the labor and management sides conducted the ninth negotiation, but the result was that they broke up unhappy.
So, Stern immediately announced.
The NBA has closed all arenas, and the lockout has officially begun!
For a while, the news of the NBA suspension even overshadowed Shay's enthusiasm for three consecutive championships.
You know, the last time the NBA shut down was in 1976.Fans don't know when the NBA will restart, or if it will restart.
Of course, Shay wasn't sitting idle.
Taking advantage of the offseason, he took the time to go to Georgetown University.
He brought an incredibly tall man to his mentor John Thompson.
"This..." Thompson looked at the square-faced tower in front of him. He was very surprised at first, and then beamed with joy.
Come to work!
Coincidentally, Wang Zhizhi has decided to participate in the draft this summer, and Georgetown University just needs the next leader!
Thompson has been paying attention to this mysterious oriental giant.
Although he has only been in American for more than a month, the world is full of legends about him.
First, Tyson Chandler, who was hailed as "the most promising insider in Ugly Country" at a certain training camp in May, was considered certain to enter the NBA at the age of 5.
An elementary school student who was abused by this mysterious giant from the east as if he couldn't play ball.
Although this Eastern giant will be 18 soon, 2 years older than Chandler.But the gap between the two is simply the difference between a basketball master and a layman.
At that time, countless newspapers exclaimed: "The gap between Chandler and the Eastern Giants is like the gap between Drexler and Shay!"
Ah Hua: 3Q, 5Q!
And only two weeks later, the figure of this terrifying and mysterious Eastern giant appeared in Jordan's training camp.
When the old hooligan saw the big Asian man wearing the No. 198 jersey, he couldn't help being shocked.
I don't know why, Danzi now has a heart attack whenever he sees an Asian!
Not all Asians are Shay, Jordan told himself.
Hu Weidong has played in the NBA for so many years, isn't he just an ordinary rotation player?
In the NCAA, Wang Zhizhi won the championship like cutting melons and vegetables.
However, the next game between the young players still reminded Jordan of the horror of being dominated by the Lakers No. 23.
First of all, the defense of the Eastern Giants, especially the frame protection, is simply invincible.
No one of his age can score against him.
Volleyball big shots, top hats, and all kinds of big shots were staged again and again under Jordan's nose.
It's okay if it's just a strong defense, at most it's the next Mutombo.
Moreover, after Jordan read the information, it also wrote: "In the Chinese game, he was mainly responsible for defense, not very good at offense."
As a result, this "not very good at attacking" guy hits all kinds of mid-range jumpers, and he can play turnaround jumpers!
With a height of more than 2 meters, he is still playing a turnaround jumper!
This shit is even more perverted than Shay!
For this reason, the coach who brought him here was very dissatisfied.
The 1 meter coach jumped up and slapped the Oriental giant on the ass, shouting: "Duck, you have to buckle!"
After Jordan's training camp ended, the Eastern giants were in the newspapers again.
Among them, the Houston media directly used "the eighth wonder of the world" to describe this oriental giant.
In just one month, he set off a bloodbath in America, the hometown of basketball.
And at this moment, his true self actually stood in front of John Thompson. Do you think Thompson can't be excited?
When a college coach gets a chance to coach a genius, it's like an old pervert gets a chance to be called the best, it's so exciting that he can't sleep!
What's more, it's this kind of cross-border airborne, which is even more exciting!
Seeing that Thompson was about to bleed out, Shay patted the big man's butt beside him: "Say hello."
The big man was just stunned for a moment, and Shay finally realized that his left ear is not good, so he switched to the other side: "I said, let's say hello!"
Only then did the big man smile and wave to Thompson shyly: "Hello Coach, my name is Yao Ming!"
Shay shook his head. When he thought about playing in international competitions in the future, the picture of bringing a blind defender and a deaf center forward almost felt like the Paralympic Games.
Shea officially handed Yao over to John Thompson, the coach who has trained three Chinese NBA players.
Although Wang Zhizhi hasn't been drafted yet, he is definitely going to be selected.
No, the No. 24 NBA draft pick was roughly picked by the Timberwolves with the 17th pick in the first round, becoming the fourth Chinese player to land in the NBA after Shay, Lao Hu, and Bus.
In the original history, it was roughly the second-round pick in 99.
And in this history, because he played in the NCAA and performed well, and participated in the draft a year earlier than in the original history, it is logical to enter the first round!
Shay is also looking forward to handing Yao Ming to John Thompson.
If nothing else, this is estimated to be the highest-ranked Chinese player cultivated by Thompson!
Unknowingly, the Chinese team's starting lineup is basically full of players who have gained a firm foothold in the NBA.
Today, the Chinese team is indeed a strong basketball team.
The only regret is that they have never defeated the dream team.
And this is what Xie Yi has been secretly planning!
Although defeating the Dream Team seems unbelievable in this era.
But then I thought about it, I got my 4000 million annual salary, I got three consecutive championships, and Jordan retired.
What else is impossible! ?
But before that, Shay had to have surgery on his own ankle!
In this year's playoffs, Shay has been playing with ankle injuries. His ankle has been sore, but he can't find the reason.
Vitti gave Shay a comprehensive examination a few days ago, only to find that Shay's ankle ligaments are very unstable.
To put it bluntly, Shay's ligaments have reached their limit after years of high-intensity combat.
Although there is no serious injury now, the constant soreness is already a warning.
If ignored, the risk of serious injury is very high.
Vitti suggested taking preventive measures and doing a ligament reinforcement surgery before a serious injury.
Surgery can tighten and strengthen one or more ligaments on the outside of the ankle joint, increasing the risk of injury.
The advantage of this surgery is that it allows Shai to avoid major injuries that affect his career. The impact of major ankle injuries on basketball players can be devastating.
But the downside is that the recovery period of this operation is very long, and it is expected to take 6-7 months of recovery period!
To be honest, the recovery period of this surgery is almost the same as that of surgery after a serious injury.
The only difference is that you can't go back to the way you were before if you wait for the surgery after a serious injury.
Although the surgery took a long time to recover, it basically did not affect Shay's athletic ability.
Shay didn't want to do it at first. If he really recovered for so long, he would be reimbursed directly next season.
But now, with the league on hold, Shay found out.
This happens to be the best opportunity for surgery!
Because if there is no major change in history, the next season will not start until February of 99.
And if surgery is performed, Shay is expected to return in a healthy and 100% state in March and April, which is equivalent to only missing the new season for more than a month.
To stop this ticking time bomb, Shay decided to undergo surgery.
After a period of conditioning, Shai underwent ankle ligament reinforcement surgery in August.
The surgery was a success, and Shay has officially entered a lengthy recovery.
While Shay was resting, labor negotiations were in full swing.
The most common basketball news that Shai sees these days is - Shay's era is over!
Because more and more new regulations that have been exposed in labor negotiations are extremely targeted for Shea.
First of all, some media revealed that the NBA will open up the zone defense.
This move is considered to be a restriction on Shay because of his offensive ability.
Zone defense is not allowed, and there is no team in the league that can do anything against Shay!
Secondly, some media revealed that after a player with bird rights jumps out of the contract in the future, the team must also retain the salary space of that player in order to renew the contract with the bird rights.
In other words, the game of Shay jumping out of the contract to make room for the team to reinforce, and then risking the contract extension will no longer exist.
In addition, Shay has undergone such a major operation, and the outside world does not know how much of his condition he can keep.
For a while, the topic of "Shay's fall" became more and more popular.
Finally, on January 1999, 1, after a 6-day lockout, both employers and employees finally reached an agreement.
Many new rules have also officially landed.
After the labor negotiations ended, the Chicago media uniformly gave a news headline:
"Shay's time to die"!
Because all these new regulations point to one goal: let Shay, who has already won three consecutive championships, go down the mountain!
Everyone seems to believe that the era belonging to Shay has completely passed.
Thanks to Cong Jun for the 5000 rewards, and Kuyue Wutong and other big guys for their rewards, thank you everyone!
