Shield absorption question

[fox-alpha-one]

Hi guys I have a question if someone can explain.

I am defending generator with 11d and inspector & shields are on 30.
Attacker sending 15d and its known he got a king.

I am left with 1d after combat.So why the shields did not absorbed the full DMG?

Specialist phase happens before shield phase, thus the king does his thing before shields are a factor...
