the rest, only noise

Chapter 570 Who is in favor and who is against

For Louis, last night was an unforgettable night.

He had one of the brightest nights of his coaching career -- leading the team to a victory over the Celtics, which may have ended the era of the Celtics dynasty -- as a professional basketball coach, if you can lead a team to beat a dynasty team at its peak, it is definitely a very important achievement.

In the media, the complaints from the Celtics were overshadowed by the compliments that praised the Knicks.

There's no better place to make a name for yourself than New York, where the media has a way of convincing you that you're the best ever for a professional team if you do well.

就像几年前的纽约岛人王朝（NHL/1980-1983），纽约媒体人相信他们强于多伦多枫叶王朝的1942-1951十年六冠以及1962-1967六年四冠，和底特律红翼王朝1950-1955六年四冠以及蒙特利尔加人王朝的1953-1960八年六冠和1965-197915年十冠。

When the media compares the strength of the Edmonton Oilers dynasty after the Islanders dynasty with other dynasties, the New York media always dominates, believing that the peak Islanders can crush the Oilers dynasty.

This is the right to speak of the media. No biographer has written a book for the Celtics with 13 championships in 10 years, but they have written about 1970 books for the New York Knicks in 10000
Therefore, the fact that the Knicks defeated the Celtics was another opportunity for the New York media to rejoice without limits.

The "New York Times" ignored the Portland Trail Blazers in the West, and the headline of the sports page was: "Welcome to the era of Knicks domination."

Pulitzer Prize winner Dave Anderson, who spent a year with the Knicks, wrote an article for "Sports Illustrated" called "The Team of the Future."

He believes that the Knicks can not only rule the present, but also the future.

Even the magician's sentence "I really want to be in it" was regarded by the New York media as evidence that he wanted to play with the Knicks.

The pursuit of the Knicks reached its peak all of a sudden, and winning the championship seemed inevitable.

The Blazers were completely ignored.

Who dared to underestimate the pioneers, Louis did not dare.

On the books, they have a superstar in the top four levels of the league-Michael Jordan.

For a time traveler like Louis, defeating Jordan in the finals means breaking the myth of the latter's 100% winning rate in the finals on another timeline.

In addition to Jordan, the Blazers also have an all-star wing glider Drexler who is close to the superstar level.

And Xavier McDaniel and Larry Nance, who are between All-Stars and near-All-Stars.

In addition to these four stars, there are also good role players such as Terry Porter, Jerome Cosey, and James Edwards.

However, as the media said, the Blazers are far inferior to the Celtics.

Since the Knicks can beat the Celtics, it is no problem to beat the Blazers to win the championship.

As the Knicks beat the Celtics to advance, their rough style of play has also been criticized by relevant people headed by the Celtics.

Tom Heinsohn called them a bunch of boxers.

Auerbach simply linked them with the black gangs on the streets of the United States, calling them gangsters.

Louis discovered that his team had completely inherited the identity of the Pistons from another timeline.

Those guys are called the Bad Boys, and the Knicks are called the Gangsters. This seems to be a nickname for the Knicks in the 90s, right?

Now that the Knicks have inherited the historical mission of the Pistons, they should at least beat Jordan three times in a row. Well, Louis set a small goal for himself, first to beat the Blazers three times in the playoffs.

If they want to meet the Blazers in the playoffs, it must be the finals, so.
Thinking about it, Louis didn't underestimate the Blazers at all.

As a basketball player, Jordan has officially entered his peak period this year, and fans have been discussing how he is not as good as Bird and the tragedy division.

Especially after he won the scoring title for several years in a row, the accusations about his inability to drive his teammates have reached overwhelming levels. The scale is roughly equivalent to that after James won the Lakers championship in 2020, a forum full of black Jordan posts appeared overnight.

Jordan believes that the gap between him and Byrd and the tragic division is not in strength, but in terms of team configuration, although the glider is very powerful, it is not as good as the group of people around Bird and the tragic division.Since some people think that he is not as good as these two, he made breakthroughs in their weak points, so he tried to become a super defensive expert.

In this era, Louie had the opportunity to follow Jordan's games since college, so he knew that Jordan had progressed from "the fourth in the team's defensive rank" in his freshman year to "the top NCAA defensive back" in his sophomore year. He knew his judgment of the ball, and he had the precise perception of the smell of blood like a beast. In addition, he had long arms and big hands, and he moved quickly, and he could defend three positions on the outside.

As an excellent offensive player, Jordan can easily understand the opponent's motives, steal the ball, make up defense and block shots.And the most important thing is that he holds a grudge very much, and he will never let go until he strangles his opponent to death.These qualifications make him the best defender.

Last year, he was selected for the first defense. This year, he was elected DPOY with a little controversy from the three insiders of Sampson, Ewing and Mark Eaton.

Scoring leader + DPOY, the ultimate embodiment of individual offense and defense.

Moreover, he has averaged 35 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 steals and 1.7 blocks per game so far in the playoffs. In the series against the Lakers, he averaged a terrifying 40 points per game.

In view of the fact that Bird, who suffered a back injury, is no longer at the level of No.1 in the league, in Louie's eyes, the current top three in the league are Sampson, Tragedy and Jordan.And just in the Western Conference Finals, Jordan tore the magician face to face, so it is okay to promote Jordan to the second player in the league.

After Sampson's team was eliminated, Jordan was already No.1 in the playoffs. He entered the finals with the ambition to replace the Celtics, but he didn't know what kind of opponent the Celtics and Knicks were in the playoffs because he had never played.

In the evening, Louis left the entire coaching team to replay the second game of the Western Conference Finals in the video room of the Blue Palace.

In this game, Jordan scored 50 points, 11 rebounds and 3 assists, and his shooting percentage exceeded [-]%. It was his most dominant game in the entire playoffs.

"I don't think anyone can guard him," Tomjanovich said seriously.

"Yes, he is ridiculously strong." Zhao Yuanzheng paused, "However, the strength of the Western Conference Finals is not as strong as the Eastern Conference Finals."

"MJ never played at that level of intensity."

After watching the video, Louis, who did not speak the whole time, said to everyone: "Let me first talk about my views on the finals. I think we have the strength to deal with the Blazers in six games. Who is in favor and who is against?"
