Chapter 212 Payton and Jordan's grievance
Doudu!” The referee blew the whistle, and the fourth quarter officially began.
"Go, Steve, go and create a history that is exclusive to you."
Davidson patted Nash on the shoulder and said encouragement.
Nash nodded gratefully. He was extremely grateful to have been traded by the King. If he were in the Suns, there would definitely be no such good thing waiting for him.
...
Just a few minutes into the opening game, Nash successfully completed the first task assigned by Davidson and also scored two defensive rebounds.
In addition, because Payton did not play, Nash got another steal.
50 points, 21 assists, 7 steals and 6 rebounds, which is quite close to the four-double.
At the end of the third quarter, the data of Nash's first three quarters were released on the big screen in the stadium, so the fans on the scene knew Nash's data.
Seeing Nash getting closer and closer to the four-double data, the fans on the scene could not sit still.
They may be going to witness the birth of the NBA miracle tonight, and everyone is cheering wildly for Nash.
Seeing that Davidson had completed the first task, Nash directly focused his energy on rebounds and steals.
Payton is also on the stage at this moment. Nash has made all kinds of gambling steals, and he has no concern that Payton will take this opportunity to pass himself.
Nash knew very well that Davidson was right. Even if Payton passed him a hundred times, they would definitely lose the game in the end.
Fighting for rebounds has become a very easy thing to do with two big shots, Murraysan and Barkley.
Perhaps Nash is now enjoying the most comfortable position in the entire NBA history. Where can other teams find a combination like Murraysan and Barkley to help with positioning?
Soon, Nash's rebounding data successfully broke the double-digit, with Murraysan and Barkley escorting, double-digit rebounding is definitely not a difficult task.
Now Nash has already scored a super triple-double of 50+20+10. Whether he can score a four-double next depends on his own luck.
It's really luck, it depends on whether Payton cooperates or not.
If Payton does not cooperate and does not give Nash any chance to steal for the rest of the game, then Nash will have no choice but to treat Payton.
Payton, an experienced old man like him, can always find a way as long as he doesn't want to steal Nash.
Nash has seven steals at the moment, and there are still four and a half minutes before the end of the game. It is obviously difficult to get the last three steals.
If Payton was spending time at the last moment, Nash would have no chance of stealing a four-double.
"Young man, do you really want to steal the four-double?" Payton smirked at Nash during the matchup.
Payton's personality is actually a more contradictory type. Sometimes he is quite domineering, but sometimes he has a slutty mouth.
"Yes." Nash nodded and replied neatly.
If you want to steal the four pairs, this is not something that can be hidden. It is better to admit it openly.
"Okay, as long as you promise me a condition, I will satisfy your wish tonight." Payton said with a mysterious smile.
Nash was stunned. Did Payton get caught in the evil?
Is this the rhythm of giving myself a steal of four pairs? But why?
This is the first time the two sides met, and there was no friendship before. Based on Nash's understanding of Payton, the other party is not the kind of warm-hearted big brother.
"What conditions?" Nash asked with a frown. He thought that Payton wanted to make the condition that he would join the Supersonics in the future...
If this is the case, Nash will definitely not agree. He has made up his mind to play for Davidson all the time.
"It's very simple. After your Kings win the championship this year, I hope you or your head coach will publicly say at the championship press conference that Jordan is the best defender in this league besides you." Payton's face could no longer be smirked.
Nash was even more shocked. What the hell is this? It would probably be disgusting to say that Jordan is the strongest player in the league except himself...
Jordan’s favorite evaluation is that who is the best player besides himself, or who is the best player to defend himself.
If this statement is put on Jordan now, it would be strange if Jordan is not in a hurry.
"Young man, this is your debut. If you agree, you will get a steal four pairs in the next four minutes!"
"God, the first show steals four pairs, this is definitely a data that God can only make." Payton continued to seduce Nash like an old witch holding a poisonous apple.
Nash had a bitter face. He really wanted to steal the four-double, but wasn't this kind of way to play it a bit unkind?
He knew very well why Payton did this.
When it comes to the grudge between Payton and Jordan, it is a child who has no mother and has a long story.
In 1990, Payton was just selected by the Supersonics as a second-tier show.
By the way, a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, Payton doesn't take it seriously...
Although Jordan's first championship had not yet been won at that time, he had become the most popular star in the league with his strong personal strength.
In the preseason, in the Supersonics match against the Bulls, Payton scored 19 points, and it is naturally impossible for Jordan to play in the preseason for how long.
By the time the reporter interviewed after the game, Payton's big mouth caused trouble.
"I don't care who Jordan is. He really plays well, but he is not so strong that he can't defend."
As a result, this sentence directly made Payton worry about Jordan. In the first game between the Bulls and the Supersonics in the regular season, Payton was defended by Jordan and only scored 2 points and 4 fouls...
Jordan scored 33 points and 7 steals, and it was obvious that these two people were not at the same level at all.
Of course, Jordan couldn't just let Payton go, "Is this what you bragged about in the preseason? Welcome to NBA, boy."
Welcome to the NBA, this is the most malicious teasing of the old players towards young players.
Because of this, Payton's face was greatly damaged and has been looking for opportunities to find a place from Jordan for so many years.
But it was not that easy. If the Supersonics reached the finals last season, Payton would have the chance to limit Jordan.
Under normal circumstances, the 1996 finals were indeed the Supersonics vs. The Bulls, and Payton limited Jordan's average score in the finals to the lowest score in his finals career.
In the words of later President Ao Guanhai, that is, Payton defended Jordan as Kobe...
Unfortunately, the Supersonics were killed by the Kings last season, and Payton failed to get what he wanted and did not get the chance to humiliate Jordan in the finals.
Of course, even if he really entered the finals, he would not be able to humiliate Jordan.
Chapter completed!
