the rest, only noise

Chapter 1011

The first thousand and 19th chapter mental disorder

The strength of the Blazers is that the Knicks have played very well, but they are still obviously suppressed.

Moreover, when Barkley and Jordan started to exert their strength, the score was pulled apart.

At the end of the first quarter, the Blazers scored 32 points.

Facing the best defensive team in history, the Blazers scored 30+ in a single quarter in the Finals.

"Adavis Sabonis, Charles Barkley, Michael Jordan, the performance of these three people is an important reason why the Blazers led the Knicks by 8 points in the first quarter." Bob Costas said in surprise, "The performance of the Knicks is obvious to all. Their defense is still very strong, but the Blazers seem to belong to another level."

Lambiel said playfully: "However, Benjamin Wilson's performance is not ideal."

"Yeah, he was pinned by MJ," Costas said.

"No, it's not so much that he is suppressed by MJ, it's better to say that he doesn't play like him at all." Lambiel's impression of Wilson is not like this. "He basically doesn't communicate with his teammates on the court, and he also plays alone on the offensive end. This is not conducive to the game, because the strongest player on the court is not in the Knicks. Individual ability alone can never beat the Blazers."

Those who didn't know thought Lambiel was a Knicks faction, but he actually wanted Wilson to die.

But now it's time to pretend to be a neutral player, so Lambiel will use seemingly objective words to bring unfavorable public opinion to Wilson: "Before this, the reason why Wilson can become the best player in the league is not because he is better than MJ, but because he understands the nature of the sport more deeply than MJ. Now what he is doing runs counter to the Knicks' philosophy of victory."

"Benj, you didn't look like a five-ring winner tonight."

Before the start of the second quarter, Louie fired at Wilson first.

Although not as good as Jordan, who is in hot form, Wilson's offense in the first quarter was still good.

"I'll call back in the second quarter." Wilson said confidently.

Louis said: "I don't want you to play back, I want you to clarify your goals, whether to rely on singles to create opportunities, or to drive teammates to overwhelm the Blazers, it's fine, but you can't play a lot of singles and then suddenly choose a lot of passes."

"Understood, coach."

On the Knicks' side, Miller was the player who turned around in the first and second quarters.

Hearing Wilson say "understand", Miller sneered: "Does this bastard really understand? To be honest, I am getting more and more confused about what he is thinking now."

Louis said softly: "If you figure it out, I'll let you be the coach."

"Coach, are you just letting him go like this?" Miller deliberately said in front of Ewing, "Patrick would have been scolded by you for a long time, right?"

"Reggie, it seems that you are the only one who thinks Benj is very problematic right now?" Louis put his hand on Ewing's shoulder with a smile, "The person who dislikes Benj the most in the team is this man, and even he has no objection."

Louie's connivance with Wilson really made Miller angry.

"Okay, you can do whatever you want, but I'll put my ugly words first, if that bastard continues to fight like this, if he loses the game, I will definitely not let him go!"

Miller showed his conscientiousness and desire to win.

Louis scolded: "I should be the one to say that, the most important thing you should do, you self-talking bastard, is to shoot that damn three-pointer!"

The other three Knicks players at the start of the second quarter were Stockton, Kemp, and Yu Tiancan.

Because the Blazers took the lead, Riley relaxed in the rotation. He replaced Jordan to rest and let Thomas and Nance lead the second team.

Yu Tiancan made a good start for the Knicks in the second quarter with a half slam.

In the past year, the outside world has received mixed reviews of Yu Tiancan.

Compared with the two super centers in the same class, he lacks the kind of immediate impact.

But you can't blame him. If you let him debut in a team that is rebuilding, supplemented by a suitable game rhythm and enough possessions, he can also play brilliant statistics and performance.

The Knicks don't have this kind of opportunity, and the overall pace is too fast. He is only positioned as Ewing's substitute, so he has to find the feeling of the game in terms of tactical system and role positioning that are not conducive to him.

It took Yu Tiancan half a season to basically enter the role.

However, before he could establish a chemical reaction with other teammates, the Knicks' internal conflicts made him confused again.

For Louis, this was a difficult thing to accept.

But he has to admit that the current Knicks are no longer conducive to the development of potential rookies like Yu Tiancan.

In the finals, Yu Tiancan got very few opportunities, because Ewing, as the strongest point inside, is the Knicks' most advantageous player against the Trail Blazers, so his playing time will only increase greatly.

In today's change, Yu Tiancan faced Anthony Mason, who was pushed to the center position by Riley.

In front of Mason, Yu Tiancan had an obvious advantage in height. Wilson fed him a ball, and he shot from the start, and he really made it.

26 is better than 32
Not to be outdone, Mason wanted to bully Yu Tiancan with mobility.

What he didn't expect was that the Knicks had already planned for this situation.

In modern times, rim protection is the most important part of the defense.

As the number one player on the field, Yu Tiancan's ability to protect the basket is beyond doubt.

Over the years, Louie has made it a habit for his players to try to keep the center under the basket as much as possible, and if their opponent runs outside the paint to shoot, his teammates will help defend him.

As soon as Mason's shot was taken, Kemp arrived.

The latter takes off at a faster bounce speed, but this jump is not Kemp's full strength. He catches up with the basketball with excellent bounce speed and covers the ball to the opponent's backcourt.

Because he didn't take off at full strength, Kemp landed almost at the same time as Mason, and reacted first with better motor nerves, chasing the ball at full speed.

Mason was only a fraction of a second behind Kemp.

It was less than a second, which was enough for Kemp to throw it far away.

Kemp, who was slammed by Louis in the past two days and was benched at the beginning of the game, was already full of anger. To him, venting his anger on Mason was just a small matter of warm-up level. His real goal was Barkley.

No matter how Barkley beat him in the past few games, he will come back.

Kemp caught up with the ball as he wished, and no one in the Blazers could stop his counterattack except Thomas.

It took only a split second for Thomas to give up the defense.

Because he is well aware of Kemp's offensive, if he insists on defending, he will only create 2+1 and top ten opportunities for the opponent.

After thinking about it, is there anyone in the league who can block Kemp's counterattack in a one-on-one situation?

I'm afraid not.

Because Kemp's speed, strength and instant explosive power are among the top in the entire basketball history, Thomas' choice is undoubtedly wise.

Kempla made an extremely round windmill and dunked the ball into the basket forcefully.

28 is better than 32
After Kemp smashed the ball, he glared at Barkley on the bench for the first time.

"That's the way it is. The more you counsel, the more you won't be able to fight." Willis Reed looked at the young man he taught so hard, and his face was full of joy.

Barkley said disdainfully to the people around him: "That guy is good when he fights back."

Kemp's dunk lifted the atmosphere in MSG.

Spike Lee, who is never idle, got up from the VIP seat directly, "This kind of ball will never be seen on Reggie's bastard!"

The atmosphere in the Garden was about to turn towards the Knicks, but Thomas passed Stockton calmly and made a jump shot on the right side of the free throw line.

34 is better than 28
This ball offset the impact of Kemp's counterattack dunk, and at the same time stabilized the mentality of his teammates.

But Thomas was not satisfied with this. As soon as Stockton arrived in the frontcourt, he gestured to his teammates.

Suddenly, Stockton started to pick and roll, Jerome Cosey let go of Wilson who moved to the bottom corner, turned around and came to the top of the arc to pinch Stockton with Thomas.

It can be seen that Thomas' ball-out action is obviously a foul, but no one can figure out Bavita's penalty scale. It happened right in front of his eyes, but he didn't mean to whistle.

The ball was cleared from Stockton's hands, and Thomas brought it upfield and gave Cauchy an alley-oop.

36 is better than 28
"Russ!"

Stockton's mentality had changed, and Louie could see it.

Every time he faces a core defender with strong personal abilities like Thomas, Stockton will look embarrassed.

When Thomas was with the Celtics and Hornets, Stockton was able to play back offensively with the team's overall strength.

But now Thomas followed Riley's arrangement and gave Stockton a chance to shoot. If he wanted to pick and roll, he would retreat and bypass, which made him very uncomfortable.

The offense is weak and the defense is exploded. This is simply the execution scene for Stockton.

"Some people always ask why Coach Road likes to freeze John Stockton in the crunch time, now, you get it?"

Lambie is perhaps the only caster/analyst who doesn't refer to Louie as "Little Lu."

His relationship with Louie is like Bird's relationship with Louie.

To say they are friends doesn't seem to count, but to say they are just ex-colleagues, it seems that they still have friendship.

One thing is for sure, that is, although Lambiel hates the Knicks, he doesn't hate Louie.

Stockton was beaten to shame by Thomas, and Louis had to call Reggie Williams from the bench.

Rauf had just come down to rest not long ago, and if he were to face the fiery Thomas, I'm afraid there would be no better results.

Instead of letting Rauf hit Thomas' muzzle, it's better to have a swingman with excellent offense and defense.

The fans at the scene prayed for the dead ball time to come as soon as possible.

Because Stockton's state is very abnormal.

It's fine if you can't guard Thomas, but even his best organization is a mess when it comes to the offensive end.

Louis had just made a substitution arrangement. He made a mistake in the frontcourt. Thomas made a fast break and was knocked down by Wilson. The fans were relieved.
