the rest, only noise

Chapter 1028

The single-quarter scoring record at Madison Square Garden belongs to Jordan, who set a record of 1988 points in a single quarter in the 27 Finals.

At this moment, Jordan raised this question with the intention of breaking the record, because Wilson scored 18 points in the first quarter and seemed to have the upper hand in the duel with him, so it is reasonable for him to fight back.

But that wasn't what Jordan wanted.

What he wants is to focus the opponent's anger on him, so that the offensive pressure of his teammates will be reduced a lot.

He is no longer the arrogant young man who is arrogant and arrogant.

The humiliating reality that he has not won a championship in the NBA so far in his career reminds him that a strong person can only win for a while after all.

A team like the Knicks cannot be defeated by an individual.

The Knicks' defense against Jordan escalated in a straight line, but Jordan's name-calling power became more and more amazing.

The Knicks had two players on the court who he called out.

One is Ewing and the other is Christie.

Although Ewing is the one with the best high-level defensive statistics among active players, no matter how good the defensive big man is, he is a toy in front of a ball handler with no shortcomings in the arsenal.

It didn't take much effort for Jordan to beat Ewing.

Just a little change of pace, quick stop and quick start, jump shot, and it's over.

In the next 4 minutes, Jordan, including the initial 2+1, made six consecutive shots and hit all of them. He scored 13 points in a row and led the Blazers to tie the score.

38 is better than 38
During this period of time, the Knicks' response relied entirely on inside offense.

Reggie Williams on the outside felt inaccurate, Christie was no longer left empty, Wilson, who performed well in the first quarter, reduced his shots in order to activate his teammates, and only scored 2 points in the second quarter.

Sometimes being selfless doesn't lead to good results.

So Louie called a timeout and asked Wilson: "Benj, you took 11 shots in the first quarter, and only took one shot so far in the second quarter. Are you tired or are you blocked?"

Until now, Wilson hadn't rested for a second. If he said that he was tired, it would be understandable. Louis could also go downhill and change him to make adjustments.

Wilson's answer, however, was: "I don't want to do a one-man show anymore."

"That big-eared bastard just sang a one-man show for 4 minutes straight. What was the result? They tied the score! Now clear up all those weird thoughts in your mind and come back on stage!"

Then Louis called Stevens again, replaced Reggie Williams, who was not feeling well, and then asked Mohammad Rauf to replace Doug Christie, who completed the mission.

The Blazers are already playing roll call tactics.

Riley doesn't mind people saying that he succeeded by imitating Louie. If he can win, there is nothing wrong with standing on the shoulders of giants.

An indiscriminate singles area killer like Barkley is not suitable for roll call, because no matter who defends him, the effect is the same, so Riley did not replace him. Instead, Xavier McDaniel, who was in charge of defending against the run in the previous few minutes, was replaced by Clifford Robinson.

Wilson listened to Louie's words.

After returning from the timeout, first he broke through the Blazers' full-court pressing forcefully. In the previous scene, he faced Jordan with a single defense and let his teammates pull away, not calling a pick-and-roll.

In other words, there was no roll call in this round, and Wilson had to rely on his personal ability to complete the offense.

Watching Wilson's offense is a kind of enjoyment. He has the perfect height and wingspan in the same position, combined with excellent explosive power, coordination, and sense of the ball. When he makes beautiful changes of direction, he is like a dynamic masterpiece.

The crotch changed direction, the back changed direction, and the one-handed variation dribbled away Jordan's defense, and he stopped outside the paint area on the right and fell back.

Jordan showed a very high defensive quality, and Wilson couldn't completely get rid of him, but because he was half behind, he couldn't affect Wilson's shot more than he interfered.

"Shh!"

40 is better than 38
The Qiaowei dispute is the biggest highlight in the biggest basketball game of our time.

Some people say that they are upgraded versions of Tragedy Master and Big Bird, which is obviously wrong.Could it be that their downgraded versions are Tragedy Master and Big Bird?Their styles are not the same at all.

Jordan didn't call Wilson back as expected.

The fact is exactly the opposite of people's expectations. Jordan seemed to be "afraid" of Wilson, and took the initiative to lean on his back to help Thomas create opportunities.

Thomas cuts in from the middle, catches the ball, and jumps up. Ewing flies to defend, but he escapes the rebound with an extreme pull-up layup.

"Look at MJ, this is the most correct way to play." The tragedy teacher was full of praise for Jordan, "At this stage of his career, he has combined individualism and teamwork!"

Jordan's approach made Louis uneasy.

This sense of unease comes from the possible consequences of his actions. For example, will Wilson stop shooting again?Will he think again about his previous selfishness that nearly broke the team?
The answer is yes.

Sure enough, Wilson didn't continue to attack. Ewing ran to a high position to set him a pick-and-roll, but he directed Ewing to go down.Although his offense with the ball forced the Blazers to switch defenses, allowing Ewing to misplace himself against the Blazers' small man, and he could use his body to ravage the opponent at will after receiving the ball.

"You guys say I'll call a timeout to let him maintain his personal offense, will he be obedient?" Louis asked left and right.

Tomjanovich believes that Wilson will still be obedient, but within a few rounds, he will change back to the original.

"He still seems to have a knot in his heart," Tomjanovich said.

Zhao Yuanzheng said: "Old way, the person who untied the bell had to tie it."

The trouble should end it?Who is this guy?Ewing?
Obviously not Ewing, after all, this guy "can't wait" to get punched again after being beaten in the locker room. His despicable face made people feel physically uncomfortable. How could it be Ewing?
Louis quickly thought that this person was not a specific name, but a group of people.

This group of people is teammates including Ewing.

Whenever Wilson wanted to take over, he would think about how passive he had put the team in before, and then he would hesitate.

This is a demon, and it is a bigger problem than James's forward-looking and backward-looking style of dumping the pot because he thinks too much or sees too far.

To make matters worse, the problem was beyond Louie's reach.

It is impossible for Wilson to get rid of his demons by himself. Only his teammates can help him get rid of his demons.

This made Louis feel extremely passive.

If Wilson can't get all his teammates, including Ewing, to think "Benj, lead us to win this game" and act at the same time, he can't fire without distractions.

Louis hates this passive feeling, but he has no right to complain, because he planted this hidden danger with his own hands.

From the moment he didn't dissuade Wilson's selfish behavior, from the moment he expected Ewing to become a perfect leader, this was destined to happen.

It can even be said that the test of Ewing is not over yet.

When the team needs it, can he give up the self-esteem and pride of the leader and become Wilson's sheepdog?
It's harder than getting punched in the locker room to pay off debt, and it's telling the world that Wilson is more reliable than him when it comes down to it.

Just as Louie's mind wandered, Isiah Thomas, with the help of Jordan, became a deadly assassin.

The roll call tactics seemed tailor-made for him.

He has absolute speed and can face any player in the Knicks. At the same time, he also has a sharp pull-up jumper. As long as he feels the touch, God can't stop him.

Jordan chose to help Thomas, and when Wilson decided to put away his selfish side and drive his teammates as much as possible, Thomas showed fans all the energy that a superstar should show at this time.

Rauf couldn't guard him at all.

Ewing's defense was ignored by him.

Even Camp was played by him with changing rhythms between applause.

From then on, until the end of the first half, Thomas controlled the rhythm of the game, scoring 13 points and 3 assists in half a quarter like a god of war.

In this half of the game, all the Blazers' scores were related to Thomas.

Thomas' godlike performance reminded the audience of MSG how Thomas, who was one of the Celtics' Big Three at that time, played tons of output with his injured leg and almost killed the game 6 years ago.

"Tonight's Isiah is like Game 1988 of the [-] Eastern Conference Finals," said Bob Costas. "That's still the greatest game I've ever seen in my life."

Lambiel said with an unhappy face: "I don't want to mention that game."

"I was at the scene." The tragedian was very willing to mention Lu Kai's sad past.

At this time, at halftime, 60 to 52, Thomas' brave performance allowed the Blazers to lead the Knicks by 8 points at halftime.
