the rest, only noise

Chapter 621 There is not much time left for Portland

"Patrick, what's your father's defense called?"

"Ah? People are flying in front of your eyes, can't your father cap him? What are you doing? Just watch him pull the lever in the air?"

"Did your father listen to me? I asked your father to block his ball, but didn't let your father pretend to be dead. You don't think I will let you go without saying anything, do you? Tell you, my father is going to compete today!"

Ewing rolled his eyes: "Michael seems to be injured."

"I don't care if it's fucking bad or not." Louis turned his head immediately after realizing it, "Are you hurt?"

Tomjanovich gestured at the binoculars comically, "It doesn't look like a serious injury."

"Oh my God, I was injured? God is jealous of talents! You are so beautiful!" Coach Lu wanted to say another word to show his vocabulary, "Michael's ambition is unpaid!"

Zhao Yuanzheng said seriously: "I don't think people are dead yet, coach, your words are not quite right."

Louis turned to look at Ewing again.

Ewing now had a reason to explain why he couldn't defend against Jordan's last attack.

"He was all injured, and giving him a 2+1 is my concern for him." Ewing sighed, "No matter how you say it, we once wore national flags and went to the Olympics together!"

"Your defense is bad, you're bad, what kind of teammate do you pretend to have affection for?" Even though Jordan looked bad, Louis still didn't intend to let Ewing go.

"What does that have to do with me?"

Since Jordan's goal was at the buzzer, the first half was over regardless of whether he could execute the extra penalty.

After several tests, the Blazers' team doctor determined that Jordan was badly injured and that getting off the court immediately was the most important thing.

Therefore, Pitino rejected Jordan's suggestion to finish free throws before leaving.

Allowing someone else to take the free throw means the player will be out of the game and not allowed to return.

"It's the worst possible outcome."

Dick Stockton said.

"After the Knicks' Benjamin Wilson was sidelined due to injury, MJ's injury left this nationally focused game without its brightest star."

Billy Cunningham was as angry as the Blazers coach.

"If the Knicks don't change the way they play, there will be more injuries." Cunningham seemed to lose his mind. "From Larry, to Isiah, to MJ, they have injured too many people."

Cunningham's allegations will obviously not be accepted by Louis.

Everyone on earth knows that Bird's back injury is mainly because he is too filial.

Thomas' injury was an accident.

Jordan?Live replays gave the Knicks a clean slate.

Although the Knicks had brought Jordan to the ground many times before, this time it was clean.Jordan rushed to the pocket formation, mainly facing Ewing's defensive threat, and had to use difficult lever movements to avoid being blocked.

It was those pulls he made that caused the erratic landing and the injury.

Is Ewing to be blamed for standing in the correct defensive position to help out?

But in fact, this kind of thing is like those who have been fixed impressions.Even if it has nothing to do with them, as long as something that fits the impression happens, everyone will think of them.

Bird's back injury worsened against the Knicks.

Thomas lost after a heroic performance with a broken leg and damaged ACL.

Now it's Jordan again. Although there is no evidence to prove that Ewing is the culprit, it's a coincidence that you often have star players injured in your games, right?

The Knicks have to accept this bias.

After all, their style of play is inherently injurious, so it's not surprising to be scolded with rhythm.

Louis heard Cunningham's complaint from the reporter.

"If the commentator loses his neutral position, he should obediently be the team's home announcer like Tom Heinsohn. I didn't hear any analysis from these words. There is only prejudice and hatred here, so I don't plan to answer." Louis dismissed Cunningham in the distance with contempt.

In the second half, the Trail Blazers, who lost Jordan, became a style of play centered on Drexler.

The Glider will prove that even without Jordan around him, he's one of the best four wings in the league.

But his day to prove himself was not today.

As long as he doesn't make shots, the Knicks' pocket lineup can kill him.

Moreover, not long after Jordan was carried out on a stretcher, Drexler still had a shadow in his heart, and he couldn't let go of it during the game.

Instead, it was the Knicks' second-year star Reggie Miller, who showed his talents.

Miller's first goal of the second half, a long shot from Drexler, missed.

The glider's three points were completely emptied.

Every time he takes the ball from the outside, Rodman defending him will give him a wide open space of more than two meters.

This time, he couldn't bear the humiliation and voted.

The result was a miss, and then Miller seemed to be possessed by Dale Ellis -- last season, Ellis was the Knicks' most explosive chasing shooter, and the rush shot in transition was unmatched -- Now, Miller officially took over from Ellis and showed why he is one of the most stopped shooters in the league in the future.

In terms of chasing shots in counterattacks alone, only Ellis may be above him at present.

"Shh!"

Miller made a chasing three-pointer.

After that, he didn't have much chance, and Louis made a special trip to call a timeout for him.

Because Ewing and Stockton ignored the perimeter a little too much.

"If you two don't pass the ball to Reggie, get the fuck out of me and sit on the bench!"

Some people are born cheap, and they don't know the seriousness of the matter without scolding.

Louis finished cursing, the timeout ended, and Miller ran from the right corner to the left corner.

It was the only run he made in the entire offensive possession.

It's very simple, because the point of opportunity is not his running position, but the cooperation of his teammates.McHale, on the weak side, used off-ball screens to help him block people.

The Blazers didn't have the awareness to switch to the shooter. Stockton crossed the ball to the left corner, and Miller received the ball for a three-pointer, the second record of the second half.

This ball not only reflects the strong tactical literacy of the Knicks players, but also reflects Miller's awareness of covering and Stockton's vision of moving the ball in a wide range. Before the crossing, Louis, as a fan of Cosmic Brave, he has seen too many similar tactics.

Usually it's Curry who hits like this, and Thompson does it occasionally.Now, he has copied this tactic into the N.UCLA system. It can be seen that Miller likes it very much.

One minute later, Drexler took the courage to dunk into the penalty area.

The Memorial Stadium was boiling, and it was said that Drexler was venting his anger for Jordan.

Louis pointed to the top of the arc.

Miller understood, and Stockton deliberately slowed down to confuse the opponent's judgment.

When he reached beyond the three-point line, he saw the left side, dribbled the ball behind his back, and suddenly came a fingertip pass.

The basketball came into Miller's hands, and Jerome Cosey foolishly gave him a half-meter gap, and Miller threw it with his open hand.

"Shh!"

It was Miller's third three-pointer of the second half.

With hot hands, he has become the master of this game.

Moreover, most people on the scene could see that the Knicks would hit him with the ball whenever they had the chance.

His state is too hot!
The game is becoming less and less like a game and more like an impromptu show.

Pitino tried to disrupt the Knicks' rhythm with a full-court press.

But their 2-2-1 full-court press lacked aggressiveness after losing Jordan, and it was difficult to change the rhythm of the game.

It was because the audience was not pressing enough and was broken by Stockton with a pass.

Miller gets a screen from Rodman.

Although Rodman's bare feet are only a little over two meters, he may be the best wing in the league who knows how to cover.Even if he stands there, there are infinite changes as long as he is disassembled. The Blazers have no awareness of flanking Miller in that situation. This is why Rodman's screen is so successful.

What Miller made was no longer a three-pointer, but a long two-pointer with two steps inside the three-point line.

Even if it's not a three-pointer, it doesn't matter, everyone knows that he is in the state.

After the ball, the Blazers carried out a tight defense against Miller.

They would rather let Rodman dunk, do not want to give Miller a chance.

In order to stop Miller, they tried their best, so that Louis couldn't help calling a timeout to destroy their plan.

"Reggie, please move according to this route."

Louis drew up the tactical circuit diagram in advance, let Miller watch it, and then ordered other people to cooperate.

This is completely vindictive, the Blazers want to guard against Miller, Louis will use teamwork to let him open.

This is a common strong-side three-man combination in Knicks games. Usually the participants are Stockton, Wilson/Miller and an inside screener. This time, McHale plays the pivot role in the low post, Stockton plays the inside screener, and Miller is the finisher who executes the offense.

Outside the three-point line at a 45-degree angle on the left, Miller seized the gap and shot a three-pointer.

Facing the miraculous Miller, there is nothing to stop him from throwing the ball into the basket.

Apparently, after Miller made the fourth three-pointer of the third quarter with the help of his teammates, the Blazers' defense collapsed.

They worked so hard just to guard against Miller alone.

But Louis called a timeout and told them with practical actions that no matter who it was, they couldn't guard against it.

"Time is running out for Portland."

With 1 minute left in the third quarter, the Knicks led by 17 points.

So Dick Stockton made a routine mouthful.
