the rest, only noise

Chapter 577 Angry young man
Compared with the first game, the second game is more like a finals-level game.

Adelman did not use Richard Anderson as the starter, which did not surprise Louis.Anderson's [-]-pointers created space, but the Blazers couldn't fix their poor rebound protection and rim protection.

Terry Porter, Jordan, Glider, Nance, Edwards.

Adelman stopped working, and honestly used one of the strongest lineups in the playoffs to compete with the Knicks.

Jordan pulled his long face at the beginning of the game, assuming he was going to fight the Knicks to his death.

Louis let the players face off easily, not because he underestimated the Blazers, but because he believed from the bottom of his heart that his side was stronger than the Blazers.

As a result, Edwards beat Ewing with a jump ball.

Jordan gave the ball to Drexler, cut to the glider for a layup.

Then, the Knicks missed a three-pointer and the Blazers counterattacked.

It was Jordan again, and he hit a chasing jumper on the counterattack.

Wilson ran tactics, and the Blazers' defensive arrangement was very badass. They deliberately focused the Knicks' shots on the mid-to-long range.

The failure of Game1, the Blazers did lose in the range of the players.

But is there really a team in this era that can win games with a range beyond the era?
Obviously not, the Knicks ran Exchange Ricky (high post dynamic offense), and Wilson got the open, which was two steps inside the three-point line.

According to Louis, if you have a chance, vote without hesitation.

So Wilson shot decisively, but still missed.

Fortunately, the Knicks retreated quickly, but Jordan's hand felt hot, and Wilson's defense was in front of him. He pretended to break through, feinted a shot, pulled up suddenly and still made a hit.

"The Blazers started with a 6-0 offensive!"

Louis instructed Stockton on the spot to hit the ball inside instead of rushing to open the outside line.

After all, the inside line is where the Knicks have the greatest advantage.

Stockton's ball began to be transferred to the paint in large numbers.

Ewing and McHale, against Edwards and Nance of the Blazers.

The two starting insiders of the Blazers have good strength. Ewing's fight against Edwards is a talent crush, and the confrontation is flat.

When the ball hit Ewing, the Blazers chose to double-team.

So it was Hornacek in the corner who went short.

"I see, Portland's disease is not cured." Louis said to the people around him.

Their lineup seems to be normal, but the defensive strategy still uses the Knicks' three-pointers to limit inside singles.

Regardless of Ewing's shooting percentage against Edwards, letting the Knicks shoot three-pointers from the outside is a typical head shot who is not afraid of death.

Hornacek hit a three-pointer, and Jordan's momentum of scoring 6 points in the start began to weaken.

Then, a small episode happened.

Jordan hit Wilson with the ball in front of the basket. He simply passed the defense and was about to make a layup when Wilson caught up.

After Wilson caught up, he didn't just cover him, but when Jordan was about to make a move, he exerted force from the side.

It was a foul that Jordan rarely encountered in the West.

Wilson's foul hit him hard, causing his body to fall to the ground.

After getting up, Jordan pushed Wilson away angrily: "You're playing with fire, son of a bitch!"

"Wow, the game has entered the familiar rhythm of the Knicks again." Brent Musberg smiled lightly.

His partner Hubie Brown continued: "Actually, as long as we observe carefully, we can find that the Knicks are often not the one who provokes troubles. Contrary to our impression, the conflicts related to them are always started by their opponents. They like to intimidate their opponents on the court. They are willing to do anything to win, which means they will attack Larry Bird's back, step on Isiah Thomas' ankle, and hit Ralph Sampson or Michael Jordan on the breakthrough line. They, like what we just saw."

"Yes, MJ and the Blazers must wake up." Musberg, like a group of relatives and friends, publicly called on the Blazers to stay awake. "If you act weak or aggressive under the Knicks' elbows and pushes, if you worry about being attacked every time you rush to the basket, if your mind is full of revenge instead of defeating them with your performance on the court, then you fall into their trap."

Whether Jordan can understand this is hard to say.

The referee gave him two free throws, he made one and missed one.

It was a second free throw, which is not good.

Ewing grabbed the defensive rebound and threw it to Wilson.

Wilson immediately launched a counterattack fast break.

After the bloody battle with the Celtics, the Knicks have a completely different mentality.

Take Wilson as an example. He began to understand how to control his aggression and how to impose his aggression on his opponent.

Jordan, who must take revenge, wanted revenge. Unexpectedly, his close defense gave Wilson another chance to attack.

Jordan never imagined that a 21-year-old young man who played in the NBA for the second year would attack him with elbows and collisions instead of being afraid or eager to single out.

Jordan's body blocked the referee's view. Wilson dribbled the ball with his left hand and swung an elbow with his right hand to Jordan's stomach to collect the ball with strength.Just when Jordan felt severe pain and couldn't react, Wilson, who was receiving the ball, hit his whole body on his chest again, knocked him down on the spot, and scored a layup.

"Beep!!"

Jordan, who was put to the ground by Wilson with two fouls, was called a defensive foul.

Now, Jordan's teammates couldn't stand it anymore.

Xavier McDaniel was furious off the court, angrily trying to protect his boss, Nance came over and used his mouth to attack Wilson.

Edwards wanted to play tricks, but was stopped by Ewing.

"Oh, it's starting again!"

"Knicks series, always!"

Jordan stood up and glared at Wilson angrily.

Wilson's tense face suddenly showed a smile, full of provocation: "You are not waiting for my apology, MJ? It seems that your western team is softer than I thought."

"You'll see!" Jordan replied.

Not being able to play against the Celtics in the finals is a big loss for the Blazers.

They don't know what the style of the Eastern Conference champions is. He thought that after passing the Lakers, he would be flat, but that was just an entry-level like Isora Aoshi.

"After the division finals, Benj really seemed to be a different person." Zhao Yuanzheng sighed.

"Thank you Larry for the saliva." Louie said funny, "I scolded him for not being as effective as Larry's saliva for two years. It's really sad to think about it."

This is an exaggeration. It was Bird who changed Wilson.

The matchup with Bird made Wilson realize how a true superstar should affect the game.

The difference between superstars and all-stars is that the former can still be the winner of the game even if they score 0 points, while the latter will be marginalized like ordinary players if they cannot do what they are good at.

Bird is a superstar of superstars, so even with a serious back injury, he can still change the direction of the series.

Jordan has played in the NBA for four years, and it stands to reason that he should be much calmer than Wilson in the second grade.

But the problem now is that a guy in the second grade kept touching him and disgusting him with soft and hard words, which made it difficult for him to control his already strong revenge psychology.

Jordan's revenge came very quickly. Drexler passed the ball. He stood on the left wing and turned over to make a jumper in the air against Wilson's defense.

Wilson responded with a layup through the back door;
Then Jordan took the ball and launched an attack from the right wing, continuously changing direction and making emergency stop jump shots.

Wilson's offense didn't return. Not only did he fail to hit back, but he was double-teamed by Drexler and intercepted the ball.

Jordan's counterattack, receiving the ball from midfield, staged a fancy wing one-handed cradle dunk at Madison Square Garden.

Brilliant as hell, it's a gorgeous scene to put in a career reel.

However, the Knicks' shooter was so steady that it disgusted the Blazers.

Wilson doesn't pursue a matchup that's as good as Jordan's.

After Stockton was emptied, he hit a three-pointer at the top of the arc.

"If they keep going like this, I dare say that the Blazers will die on the three-point line today."

Louis said confidently.

In the 80s, if you wanted to shoot dead people with three-pointers, it was really difficult.

But the Knicks have gathered a group of reliable shooters. If you really don't defend, and they shoot casually, it will not be too difficult to kill you.

This shows how much the Blazers are afraid of the Knicks' inside line. Ewing and McHale can compress the defensive lineup when they go there.

Jordan didn't care about the score at all, only Wilson in his eyes.

To beat Wilson up, prevent him from dying, make him unable to hold his head up in front of him, not dare to breathe, unable to resist like a sheep, that's what he wants to do.

Jordan must be disappointed in this matter.

The blow that deserves to be taken, the education lesson that needs to be experienced, Wilson has already suffered from the best player in history. With Jordan's current strength, apart from beating Wilson harder than Bird, it cannot change the overall situation.

At the end of the first quarter, Jordan tried to dribble.

Wilson, who was facing him for a whole quarter, kept up energetically.

Jordan, who had already scored 17 points, wanted to give Wilson a ruthless blow on a whim, and his elbow fell heavily on the latter.

But Wilson was not repulsed because of this. On the contrary, Jordan, who wanted to use this to dunk, was knocked out of the field by Wilson first looking for someone and then looking for the ball, and flew directly to the feet of the sideline cameraman.

In an instant, the conflict was intensified.

Jordan jumped up and punched Wilson like an angry teenager.
