Chapter 172 Ewing's Ambition

Seven steals in the half game is also a record, especially in the playoffs, Yu Guo's performance in this game is really worthy of the votes for his selection to the first team, even when Kobe and Ewing are not in the state Under such circumstances, he carried the entire Lakers by himself. This performance reminds people of Magic's performance as a guest center in the finals in his first season. He is also a rookie, a point guard, and a solo player. Core leadership, although it is the finals, this is the playoffs, but it is also very difficult.

Ewing and Kobe sat aside and didn't say anything, but the other players were very excited at this time. Laettner has been in the league for several seasons, but he has been dormant on bad teams and never made it to the playoffs. This kind of opportunity, this trip to the playoffs is really unforgettable.

The entire audience of the Lakers was a sea of ​​joy, but the fans of the Suns seemed relatively silent at this time. Their minds were full of Yu Guo, who seemed to be equipped with a navigator in the second quarter, and all kinds of steals. It just made the Suns team desperate. Kevin Johnson didn't know how to pass the ball in the end. It's not like they haven't seen Yu Guo's magic before, but they really haven't seen Yu Guo like this. It's so unbelievable, it seems to be Elvin Robertson, who is the stealing king in NBA history, and he once had a quadruple-double performance against the sky.

But his steals were not as explosive as Yu Guo's. He didn't give people a chance at all. Despair was really despair. The entire Suns seemed to be fooled by Yu Guo.

Angie followed the Celtics to win a lot of championships, but he has never seen this kind of weird steal performance, and he himself was pushed to the shelves. For the position of head coach, he is far inferior to Larry Bird So full.

Being able to enter the playoffs is simply a miracle for the Suns team. Before the start of the game, the team lost its core one after another. If the team is not tough enough, it will really plummet.

The development of this game completely exceeded the cognition of these players. They were really dumbfounded. It turns out that one person can really beat a team.

In the second half of the game, Yu Guo continued to play. The Suns team did not give up. They still played very tenaciously. Kevin Johnson knew that the pass was not good enough, so he attacked, crazy attack, the future governor's offensive firepower is still very fierce.His continuous scoring made the silent Sun fans shout again, but Yu Guo's performance was still stable, and the super stamina potion really lived up to it. With that expensive reputation, Yu Guo was still very vigorous in the second half. Facing Kevin Johnson, He directly chose to break through, and jumped up again in the middle, intending to dunk AC Green again.

The Lakers star played well in the first quarter, but unfortunately in the second quarter he had a tragedy. Except for being dunked once by Yu Guo, he didn't have any shining performance. This time, the former Lakers player, Looking at Yu Guo flying in the air, a stern look flashed in his heart. He must not allow someone to dunk him twice at the same time. How could he be considered a celebrity in Los Angeles? Has no sense of presence, and is also a member of the showtime gangsters.

AC Green opened his arms and wanted to block the shot, but Yu Guo, who was in the air, was so red-eyed. He just wanted to dunk, just wanted to vent, bang, pressing the opponent's arm, the ball was just a living dunk After entering, poor AC Green fouled again, this tough guy was about to cry, what happened to Yu Guo today, why he was so irritable, it was completely two extremes from his usual behavior.

Harris and Jerry West looked at each other, and both of them knew in their hearts that the reason why Congress was so irritable was because of Ewing and Kobe, especially the former, who had just been selected to the first team. He actually floated up. He seemed to have forgotten how he was bullied to death by the other three major centers when he was in New York. Now that he has become a tough guy, his heart has actually risen, and he wants to become the number one core of the Lakers. , To be straightforward is to think too much, although this matter has not been told to Yu Guo, but Yu Guo is such a thoughtful person, he still sees it through these details, and the current result also shows that even without these two Personally, the Suns can't stop the Lakers from winning. In other words, these two people are not so indispensable, especially Ewing. He can even give up an epic insider like O'Neal, let alone Ewing. Because of this former softie.

Ewing's actions were completely instigated by his agent. His agent was David Falk, another player in the league, who was as famous as Godfather, but his good days were coming to an end soon. Yes, because Jordan's previous retirement affected his great reputation. On the contrary, other agents have begun to grow up.

For example, Yu Guo's agent, Bill Duffy, currently has many future stars under his banner, among which Yu Guo and Nash are undoubtedly the best among them. Another point is that this year's top pick Tim Duncan, He also chose this buddy as his agent. It is foreseeable that the future Bill Duffy will definitely not be worse than David Falk.

Although David Falk has many superstars under his banner, there are very few rookies. The batch in his hands are guys from Jordan's era. These guys are all superstars, but when these guys are all If he retires, then he will really leave the NBA, because there is simply no room for him to live.

David Falk expected this, so he had this matter of motivating Ewing. Ewing is very loyal to the club, but this does not mean that he has no ambitions. In fact, he also aspires to become the number one center in the league. All kinds of factors constrained me, until I came to the Lakers, I seemed to have gained a new life.

Now that he has returned to the peak, there is no reason to continue to be the second master. I have not been at the peak of my practice for a few years. If I don’t take advantage of this stage to make more money, it will not work at all. Why does Jordan get it every year? 3000 million, isn't it because he is the boss? Look at Pippen's salary, which is not even one-tenth of his salary. This is the difference in status and influence.

But the Lakers already have a core, Yu Guo, this unique basketball player, he is the most unprofessional guy in history, he is obviously a basketball player, but he appears in entertainment and cultural news all day long, it is really enviable, even It's madness. Without this layer of identity, the Lakers would not be able to take such a fancy to him. Los Angeles is a world of entertainment to death, and Ewing knows this very well.
