the rest, only noise

Chapter 1017 Unsolvable Problem
Although there is still halftime in the game, they are 23 points behind. Facing the most offensive team in history, the Knicks have little room for error.

They have to try to defend against the Blazers' offense while ensuring their own offensive efficiency.

The Knicks' second-half start will make many nostalgics smile.

Stockton, Miller, Wilson, McHale, Ewing.

"It would be perfect if Reggie could be replaced by Dell." Spike Lee hated Miller for not giving him the chance to "come back".

Miller naturally heard the male duck voice of a great director, and he has put up with him for a long time.

This time he couldn't bear it any longer and turned around and burst out: "You idiot nigger, can you fucking shut up your mouth that even the gays don't want you to fuck?"

"You're the idiot nigger! Only a nigger like you doesn't know that in Apple City, you need strength to make people shut up!" The director said arrogantly, "Do you have the strength to shut me up? If you don't have the strength, just shut up your crap mouth that is only suitable for entertaining gays!"

Louis has to say that black people are very restricted when it comes to spraying. If you can't understand what they are saying, you still have the feeling of listening to a cappella RAP.

In the second half, the Blazers took the lead.

The Knicks switched to the classic starters, and the Blazers sent the best lineup that gave them an advantage.

Nance is still on the bench, and Clifford Robinson has secured his starting position with his excellent performance in the playoffs.

The Blazers decided to let Jordan initiate the first offense of the second quarter.

Wilson single-handedly defends Jordan's post-up singles.

"Have you figured out where to go on vacation after the game?" Jordan asked, and began to play back.

However, Jordan's back hit only hit Wilson once, which was equivalent to advancing his position a step forward, and he directly shook his shoulders, retreated, turned over and shot a jumper.

Wilson anticipated his entire offensive scheme and defended it flawlessly.

But Jordan's ball is very difficult to defend. Unless there are teammates to help defend and block, otherwise, the opponent cannot threaten the ball, but can only interfere, and then it depends on how Jordan feels.

"boom!"

"Your frivolous behavior makes me think that you are about to win the sixth ring." Wilson chased after Jordan, "Even if you won this year's championship, you only got one ring. Correct your attitude, Mitch, I am a five-time champion."

Jordan's face was as cold as ice. Even though he had a hundred reasons to prove that he was stronger than Wilson, the other party only needed to show five rings to end the discussion.

For something like a champion, when the strength reaches a certain level, it is a qualification certificate that enters the scope of discussion.You have this thing to come in and discuss, but if you want to prove that you are the best, you still need to win a few more times.

It is completely unreasonable to overwhelm Jordan with five rings like Wilson.

McHale stretched his ape arm, grabbed the defensive rebound, and passed to Stockton.

Stockton doesn't think the Knicks are back to what they used to be.

It's daydreaming, and everyone has to look forward, not only will they not go back to the past, but they will only look forward.

Stockton habitually finds Wilson on the fast break.

As soon as the ball was passed, he felt bad again.

Because Wilson has been very abnormal since the start of the finals, passing the ball to him is a meat bun hitting a dog.

Did the words in the locker room really work?

Wilson took the ball, dribbled two steps, and Jordan entangled him like a python.

When Wilson's teammates thought he was going to repeat the same mistakes, suddenly, when he couldn't see behind him clearly, he chose to pass back.

Outside the three-point line at the top of the arc, Miller is like an assassin in ambush in the dark, seeing an opportunity, he will do it.

Assassins on the court are different from those in reality, they need the support of their companions.

The so-called support is the proper pass.

Wilson's pass stunned Miller for half a second before making the shot.

"Shh!"

45 is better than 65
"Benj's pass created a great offensive opportunity for New York!"

"Reggie Miller's grasp of opportunities is too high!"

"The Knicks are starting to feel like a team."

Kostas and Lambiel talk to each other.

Jordan picked up the ball and wanted to surprise the Knicks.

He made a long pass to Isiah Thomas in the frontcourt when neither Wilson nor Miller retreated half court.

Thomas dribbled the ball, tricked Stockton's center of gravity, and McHale came out to defend.

Thomas saw the trick and split the trick, splitting the ball to Barkley for an empty basket.

67 is better than 45
"Patrick, run and defend!"

Louie yelled.

What he means is, don't be obsessed with protecting the rim. If McHale makes a save to help defend, Ewing will have to rotate Barkley.

As for who Sabonis will defend, it depends on the rotation of others.

This also shows the weakness of the Knicks' classic lineup.

McHale is no longer in his prime. Stockton is good everywhere, but there is one thing wrong. He is not Thomas' opponent at all.

Coming to the offensive end, Stockton's organizational skills are still commendable.

He confuses Thomas with a tactical gesture and suddenly crosses the ball to the left.

The catcher is McHale who screens for Miller.

He stood at a high position of 45 degrees on the left side. The Blazers' defense did not catch up immediately, so he chose to shoot.

"boom!"

Sabonis thought the rebound must belong to him.

Because his position is very good, however, he underestimated the determination of the Knicks.

Ewing judged that the ball would not go in the moment McHale shot, and he predicted the landing point, so he had time to react.

Except for Ewing and Sampson, Louis can't imagine any insider who can take the board off the Lithuanian's head in this situation.

Ewing overwhelmed Sabonis with his powerful body.

The confrontation between the two sides was so strong that Sabonis knelt forward after landing.

Ewing, on the other hand, made a second attack directly after holding the rebound.

47 is better than 67
The Blazers can feel that the Knicks' defensive actions are becoming more and more rough.

When Jordan wanted to play, Wilson would use his femur to deliberately bump the back of his thigh from behind.

This kind of action can be described as insidious, and it is so hidden that the referee cannot know it, and the camera cannot see it.

Jordan couldn't get a seat, Barkley was in a chaotic area with many people and eyes, and Thomas' breakthrough was rarely entangled by Stockton.

Stockton's defense is notoriously dirty. As long as he is entangled by him, Thomas has no other choice unless he makes an emergency stop and jump shot.

Even a pull-up jumper could give Stockton a chance to get caught.

Unable to open the situation, Thomas chose to pass the ball to Sabonis first.

The moment Sabonis took the ball, the Knicks' double-team was in place.

"Look at this amazing defensive intensity!" Lambiel said empathetically, "The Knicks are really back."

With Sabonis' height and vision, as long as the opponent dares to double-team, he can find his teammates and pass the ball within a second.

However, the Knicks' double-team did not give him a second.

He only felt a suffocation that was hard to breathe, and then he suffered a heavy blow to his hand.

Wilson, who appeared to be side-teaming, patted his hand down, but only the hand.

Dick Bavita acquiesced to this behavior with his eyes wide open. Sabonis felt the pain and couldn't protect the ball, so he could only throw it at will.

The ball is still intercepted, Sabonis is located outside the left paint area, and the person he wants to pass is Jordan.

This passing intent is too easy to judge.

"You dirty wild dogs!" the Lithuanian yelled angrily.

Wilson's quick counterattack did not complete the score as he wished, and Jordan, who caught up from behind, blocked him with a foul before he shot.

But Jordan's foul was not the kind of tactical foul that is common in later generations.

Jordan's foul can be regarded as a malicious foul. He attacked from the side, and the target of the attack was not the ball but the person. He knocked Wilson down to the ground at full speed.

At this time, the referee has to blow if he doesn't blow. If this kind of action does not call a foul, there will be no rules at all in the game.

Horrified boos from MSG came to Jordan from all four directions.

But the "victim" just stood up and said to the "perpetrator" provocatively, "You can't even commit such a vicious foul, Mickey?"

Jordan said angrily, "Don't call me Mickey!"

Wilson always followed Louie's teachings, the less your opponent tells you to do something, the more you have to do it.

"Okay, Mitch."

Both the Knicks and the Trail Blazers took advantage of the dead ball to adjust the players on the field.

The Blazers replaced Sabonis with Anthony Mason.

The Knicks replaced Stockton and McHale with Rodman and Kemp.

Riley was not overwhelmed by the obsession to win the championship. Although the Blazers hold a big lead, if they don't play steadily, they may still be caught up and surpassed.

So strengthening the offense is not what they need to do most.

No matter how the Blazers' offense plays, the lower limit will not be low, because they have two players who can play indiscriminately.

Therefore, it is most reasonable to abandon the best offensive lineup and replace it with a lineup with balanced offense and defense to ensure the final victory.

For Louis, Riley's approach was impeccable, and he raised the difficulty of the Knicks' reversal by at least one level.

How to reverse the Blazers with Jordan and Barkley guaranteeing the basic situation will be an unsolvable problem that makes all coaches feel desperate.
