the rest, only noise

Chapter 353 Hard Black
Tonight, in the commentary seat of the forum, there was a figure that attracted a lot of attention.

Commentator Keith Erickson (Keith Erickson), as a former NBA player, it is a wise choice for him to choose to become the Lakers' home commentator after retiring.

Tonight, he'll be paired with a far more influential ex-Laker.

"Big Dipper" Wilt Chamberlain saw Stockton's layup at the beginning, and Kareem said sourly: "How can Kareem not go back for this ball? Is he out of energy? The game has just begun."

Anything related to Kareem, Chamberlain will belittle.

If Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is a star with as many fans as black fans, then Chamberlain must be the leader of his black fans.

The Knicks had just scored a goal, and the magician quickly advanced to complete a Show Time-style positional battle without taking a position.

But the Knicks' defensive quality is very good.

So Magic stopped, stood outside the right three-point line, and passed the ball to Kareem.

The moment Kareem Abdul-Jabbar got the ball, Tony Campbell, who was defending the Magician, turned around and came to the low post to attack.

Abdul-Jabbar had already expected that the Knicks would not give him a comfortable one-on-one opportunity, so he passed the ball without even moving after receiving the ball.

Outside the three-point line, Louie watched the magician make a decisive three-pointer.

"Shh!"

To what extent does a player have to be forced to pick up skills that are completely unfamiliar to him and practice to the league's first-tier level?
The Magic's three-point shooting rate this year is 35%, averaging at least 1 goal per game.

This data is very embarrassing for the future, but in 1986, this group of players who grew up in the two-point era was considered one of the best.

The magician's shooting rate can be ranked among the top fifteen in the league, and the number of three-pointers made, only Alice, Bird, John Long, and Stockton are above him in the league.

So far, his number of three-pointers can be ranked fifth in the league.

The four players who shot more than him all played under Louie. Their acceptance of three-pointers is beyond the age, and Magic chooses to shoot three-pointers because he no longer knows what else to do to help the team get better.

In a 3-2 situation, Ewing gave Stockton a pick-and-roll at the top of the arc, and the slash opened.

After Stockton's breakthrough, the Lakers' defense was muddied, and the ball was fished out of troubled water.

Ewing made a high jumper, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was hard to guard against.

4 is better than 3
"I have said this question many times about Kareem. He just can't defend with all his strength. He cares more about scoring and whether he is comfortable playing. This selfish style of play has dragged down the Lakers. He is the only reason why the Lakers have repeatedly lost to the Celtics in the Finals."

Every time Chamberlain came to the commentary booth, he would initiate a meeting criticizing Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

Unless Kareem Abdul-Jabbar scores 100 points, 50 rebounds, 10 assists, 10 blocks and 10 steals, and continues to drive the ball from midfield to the basket with his second child, Chamberlain's criticism will continue.

It was the job of the real narrator, Keith Eriksson, to keep Chamberlain's unrestrained emotions in check.

"Well, but Kareem is very old, maybe letting him focus on the offensive end is the Lakers' plan."

Chamberlain knew that if he wanted to go on stage to taunt Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, he had to understand how to boil frogs in warm water, so he said, "Maybe."

The Knicks didn't treat the Lakers' shooters as human beings, so Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Rambis didn't have a chance to catch the ball.

Michael Cooper was furious and shot a three-pointer.

His shooting form was one of the ugliest Louie had ever seen.

"boom!"

Missed, but the long rebound that flew out was snatched by the magician.

The Knicks are still guarding the pocket formation, even though the magician has just proved his three-pointer feel.Today, the pocket array has developed into a form of pseudo-zone defense.Although everyone maintains their counterpoint, they always distance themselves from their counterparts.

This is already a kind of zone defense in a practical sense. The popularity of the pocket formation has accelerated the fall of Dr. J and other stars who are not good at shooting, and it has also forced the magicians to practice three-pointers earlier.

Suddenly, the magician passed the ball to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

He just wanted to see if the Knicks would carry out the strategy of flanking Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to the end.

Suddenly, the Knicks players heard Ewing yelling: "Put your fucking defenses away and let me go!"

"Hey, what kind of hero is he playing?" The voice was so loud that even Louis could hear it.

Since Louis can hear it halfway across the court, the fans in the forum can naturally hear it too.

Jack Nicholson stood up and yelled, "Fuck him, Kareem!"

Abdul-Jabbar confirmed that the Knicks would not be double-teamed, so he boldly backed up.

He first used his left hand to make a small movement of elbowing forward. In other words, that movement was very bold, and the referee was right in front of him. As I said before, the referee tonight is a well-known good guy in the circle.Baseline referee Tommy Nunes held his whistle so tightly that Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's elbow would knock out Ewing's lungs, but he still didn't blow the whistle.

Ewing's defense has been greatly improved compared to the beginning of the season, with a lower center of gravity, with one hand pressing on Kareem's lumbar spine and the other raised.

Suddenly, when the second impact fell on Ewing, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar made a tendency to turn to the right, successfully shaking Ewing's center of gravity. The real next step is to use the right foot as the axis, turn the left foot, and hook.

It can be said that he has broken Ewing's defense, only a soft skyhook is missing.

It's a pity that even Stephen Curry, who has the best shooting touch in history, can't be trusted with life and death shots in the finals. Since it is a confrontational shot, there is chance.

"boom!"

"How many times do we have to watch this kind of shot?" Chamberlain criticized, "Why doesn't he dunk? Kareem, be tough!"

Ewing forced the defensive rebound out of Oakley's hands like a bandit.

To be honest, it means Westbrook grabs a rebound.

If Oakley made a frightened expression of "My Lord Ewing, I didn't mean to, please forgive me" in the process of giving up the board, it would be even more so.

However, what a tough man Oakley is, he might not be able to do the ultimate dog-licking style of Tiger Gibson. He obviously got the rebound and found that Wei wanted it.

For the sake of licking the dog, the inside players were completely humiliated by the Gibsons!

When Ewing ran from the backcourt to the frontcourt, Louie said: "Don't think that I won't be angry if you defended Kareem just now. I tell you, if you want to defend alone, you'd better defend him every time!"

Ewing responded loudly: "I can try it!"

Their communication was carried out under the gaze of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

Hearing Ewing's ignorance, Jabbar's bald head suddenly seemed to be smoking.

However, Ewing gave Stockton a drag screen directly outside.

Go down by yourself to the short corner area on the left.

Stockton has a three-point chance, but Ewing has a better chance, and he and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar are directly facing each other. If he can blow up his opponent, the impact on the overall situation will be significant.

Ewing got the ball and made a jump shot in Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's face.

"Shh!"

6 is better than 3
When Ewing gets excited, he will forget some things.

Something that should never have been forgotten.

He hopes he can block Kareem's offense with only his own strength.He obviously didn't defend just now, but Kareem Abdul-Jabbar missed a shot, which made him think he had a chance.

So in the next round, he will still go all out to defend.

More extreme than before, his defensive range came from behind Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in front of him, and he actually wanted to use his young body to crush the opponent's old bones.

Abdul-Jabbar is very experienced, he refused to compete with Ewing for strength, and he did not lose his position, but pointed to the basket.

The magician understood it at a glance, lobbed the ball, bypassed Ewing's defense, and sent the ball directly to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

In this way, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar didn't have to make any effort to beat Ewing, and opportunities appeared naturally.

Ewing's aggressive defense gave Kareem Abdul-Jabbar a chance to dunk.

5 is better than 6
"Don't be so arrogant when defending, okay?" Louis shouted to Ewing, pointing to his brain.

The Lakers' pick-and-roll system against the Knicks was like a mindless fly at the beginning. Gradually, they figured out the basic changes in the N.UCLA system.

Just figuring out the changes is not enough, you must be able to face the upper position when defending.

Cooper's sprinting defense blocked many loopholes for the Lakers, but in order to complete the defense, the Knicks' cooperation was needed.

Dell Ellis made a three-pointer and missed.

But the outside players retreated too early because they didn't expect Ewing to grab the offensive rebound.

Therefore, the Lakers frantically dispatched four people to double-team Ewing, causing him to drop the ball and make a mistake.

Louis didn't blame the guards who retreated too early. This was one of his arrangements. After the shot, retreating was the priority, and the rebounding was left to the inside.

Because of the magician's speed and impact, after the Lakers won the backcourt rebound, they immediately launched a fast break.

Even with three men retreating to the backfield, Magic still went on a rampage like a tank entering the city.

No one can make him brake in this situation.

The magician went to the inside, shot the ball with his left hand, pulled the bar with his right hand, and picked the basket.

7 is better than 6
"Look, this is the offense we want to see." Chamberlain performed a live performance of what is called hard black, "If it is Kareem, he will complete the fast break with a hook."
