Shen Huan was finally convinced by this group of reporters.
I originally thought that domestic journalists were the best ones who could create news on their own even if there was no news. However, I didn’t expect that the best ones were in the United States.
The Lakers still won!
This is still a historic 20+ five-double for me!
They all dare to open their mouths and talk nonsense. This kind of attitude of talking nonsense without any brain is really unconvincing.
You know, in the eyes of professionals, Shen Huan's two games this season are remarkable.
Not to mention easily winning two consecutive away games, just talking about two consecutive 20+ five-doubles, no one has ever done it in the history of the NBA.
Before Shen Huan, the NBA's steal record was 11 in a single game. Shen Huan had 20 in two games, almost doubling this record!
Don't underestimate the 9 additional steals. In fact, such key steals are not easy. Otherwise, the NBA would not be able to maintain a record of only 11 in decades of history.
Shen Huan not only broke the record, but also improved it by 9 points. He even got it in the playoffs. He is already the first person in the NBA!
And blocked shots.
The previous record was 17, but Shen Huan hit 23 blocks the first time and 20 blocks the second time!
This means that the top two record holders in blocked shots in the NBA are both Shen Huan.
O'Neal, who was originally in second place, had 15, but was subsequently pushed to fourth place!
What an incredible record is this
An outside player actually beat the records of the inside superstars! !
This is something that even Boss Qiao can’t do!
And the key is that Shen Huan didn't just have 20 steals and 23 blocks. Each of his statistics exceeded 20!
With such an unprecedented achievement, Shen Huan also posted 20+ double-digit figures in two games. Isn't it a miracle
It's a miracle.
But that’s not the focus of reporters.
They only pointed out that Shen Huan's scoring decreased and the Lakers' suppression of the Thunder was not enough.
Shen Huan scored 32 points in the first game and 26 points in the second game. Such scores are not low in the playoffs.
In addition, Shen Huan has not played in the fourth quarter, otherwise he would have easily averaged 40 points per game.
Of course, the onlookers, including Shen Huan's fans, also felt that Shen Huan's score was low.
Who is Shen Huan
The number one superstar in NBA history!
He was the first player in history to score more than 50 points against the Golden State Warriors and the Cavaliers. However, he only scored 58 points in two games against the Oklahoma City Thunder, which was known as a weakling. Shen Huan’s score from the previous game!
Many fans don’t understand football.
They didn't see Shen Huan trying his best to cooperate with his teammates, train young people, and adjust the rhythm of the Lakers.
They only saw that Shen Huan's dominance was not as good as last year, and the scoring and passionate scenes were not as good as last year, so they subconsciously believed that Shen Huan was weak.
Many people feel deep down that Shen Huan is really weaker than last year! !
This is why journalists’ rumors spread so quickly and widely.
The first game was okay, the Lakers won by 51 points. Even if Shen Huan wasn't outstanding enough, reporters couldn't open their eyes and tell lies, saying that the Lakers were in crisis.
But in the second game, there were too many things for reporters to make a fuss about.
Because the Lakers did not press the Thunder throughout the game.
The Thunder's Westbrook identified the Lakers' weakness, and after avoiding Shen Huan, Iverson and Ingram were repeatedly overwhelmed and gained many opportunities.
In the eyes of the fans, although Shen Huan is also scoring and performing outstandingly, he still cannot stop the Thunder.
Isn't this dangerous
The Thunder only have one Westbrook.
As for Curry, Thompson and Durant of the Golden State Warriors, which one is not an offensive superstar
If these three people take turns playing, they will definitely be comparable to three Westbrooks.
If one Westbrook can make the Lakers so uncomfortable, what will three of them do
And two of them are superstars with three-point shooting sights!
Therefore, if the game continues like this, the Lakers will really be in danger! !
Reporters are adding fuel to the flames and fans are worried.
This is the situation today.
But these brainless fans never thought of two important points.
Shen Huan just didn't want to defend Westbrook.
He didn't even go back to the penalty area, he just defended on the outside, leaving the defensive responsibility to Howard.
From a certain point of view, this is also Shen Huan's way of checking Howard's condition and how far he has recovered.
If Shen Huan were to directly defend Westbrook, even if he had Andre Robertson by his side at any time, there would be no way to stop Shen Huan's defense.
Westbrook was able to score 10 points under Shen Huan, which is considered to be his well-deserved title as an NBA superstar.
The second point is also more important.
Shen Huan is not a fool.
If the Lakers really couldn't suppress the situation, how could he not play in the fourth quarter
The only reason why Shen Huan did not play in the fourth quarter of the game was because it was not necessary.
Your own team has defeated the opponent and the game has entered garbage time. Of course, there is no need to play anymore.
It is also the idea of the Lakers coaching staff to leave some time for the substitutes to feel the game, let them move forward amidst failures and setbacks, and train more players.
After all, Shen Huan is just a visitor to the Lakers.
Even though Shen Huan has become the well-deserved number one superstar of the Lakers, he is also the number one superstar in the history of the Lakers, and even the number one superstar in the NBA.
But Shen Huan's heart is not in the NBA. He has no interest at all in becoming the first person in NBA history and earning hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars.
Others don't know it, but Buss Jr. and the coaching staff understand that it is basically thanks to Kobe and Iverson that Shen Huan can come back this time.
There's no telling whether the two elders will still be able to save face next time, or whether they will disturb Shen Huan's ordinary life for the sake of the Lakers.
There is even a high probability that it is impossible.
Therefore, while Shen Huan is here, they can train more young players or let the young players learn some skills from him. This is what the Lakers want to do very urgently.
Buss Jr., Kupchak and Byron Scott all mentioned this to Shen Huan.
Shen Huan also agreed.
So this time in the playoffs, Shen Huan didn't care about his own data at all, and reduced his shots and suppression, just to let the young players be tempered.
This is the real reason why "Shen Huan can't survive".
