the rest, only noise

Chapter 722 Ends With Jordan
Louis faced the pile of news materials on the table that seemed to refresh his cognition. After reading all these materials, he closed his eyes and recalled the image of Jordan in his memory.

He is a Jordan fan, and he thinks he understands Jordan's playing career.

He began to think back, what kind of person is Jordan?

Before the book "Jordan Rules" came out, Jordan, like James, had a flawless business image. He was a saint.

In his previous life, Louis finished reading this book in order to learn more about Jordan.

There is such a story: In the 1988-89 season, Doug Collins arranged for Jordan to play point guard, and Jordan started to record triple-doubles, thinking about surpassing "Magic" Johnson.Because everyone said that he was too selfish, greedy for the scoring champion, and unable to drive his teammates to score.

There were a few games where Jordan made a point of going to the scorer's table to ask how many more assists and rebounds he needed to reach a triple-double.In order to prevent Jordan from labeling Chamberlain as obsessed with data, the league quickly ordered the scoring table to prohibit any information from being disclosed to the players during the game.This broke the way of Michael Westbrook Jordan.

Moreover, when Jordan is playing, he will always remember his score. Near the end of the 1989-90 season, in a close game, Jordan saw a scoreboard at the Chicago Coliseum showing 38 points.So he reported to the technical desk that his score was misremembered, it should be 39 points, because the number of free throws he hit was an odd number, so his score should be an odd number.

Is swiping data ugly?Not ugly.

99% of the stars have checked the data, some people will be obsessed with it for a while, and some people will be obsessed with it for a lifetime.For example, Kobe, he is obsessed with difficult shots, obsessed with catching bomb balls and taking responsibility, obsessed with ignoring his teammates’ open space and defending against lore. Combining these "obsessions", we can conclude that what he may be obsessed with is the sound of basketball torturing the basket; James is obsessed with statistics. Staying in the frontcourt and waiting for his teammates to send a long pass to the empty basket; Rodman is obsessed with rebounding;

Is he a ball bully?

Louis does not make such inferences, because to judge a player, one must take into account his background and environment.

Jordan, who played in North Carolina for three years, learned to attack efficiently without occupying the ball. Like Bird, he is a perfect end point that can digest a large number of shots without occupying the ball.But, because of Louie, he didn't make his debut in Chicago, and he came to a much better team than the Bulls, the Trail Blazers.

In the first few years of the Trail Blazers, because the team lacked good point guards, Jordan played point guards for a long time, and Harden's habit of ball dominance was developed at that time.

This caused Jordan, who had no court positioning conflicts with the glider, to completely conflict with the former.

When a lot of balls can't win, Jordan plays the second position full-time, and Terry Porter is the first position, but he is still used to holding the ball, even if his off-ball ability has reached the historical level, he doesn't trust the glider, because this gentleman who never knows how to speak out hides all his crooked thoughts.

He was beaten again and again, the defense was too bad, he couldn't shoot, and all technical details were rough in Jordan's eyes. How could he give the ball to this kind of person?
So Jordan took on many things that should not be borne by him time and time again, until he was reimbursed for the season, and the glider played an amazing season after taking over the ball in large numbers.

Since then, things have changed.

The Blazers will never go back to the way they were.

Portland has only Jordan as a lone star, which is the most stupid illusion of our time.The negative impact of his character is destroying the chemistry of the Trail Blazers. The media has created a perfect image for him, but his tortured teammates dismissed it. The glider has made his dissatisfaction public. In this case, the sixth game, the Blazers can't win anyway, right?

Louie and his assistants watched Game [-] with the mentality of watching the Blazers go out.

In the first half, the tragedy led the Lakers to fully suppress the Blazers.

David Robinson practically shit on the Dutchman.

Pippen shut down and didn't want to hit the glider well.

Tragedy scored a triple-double at halftime, setting a record for the fastest triple-double in the playoffs.

The Blazers trailed by 19 points, and it seemed that the situation was over.

Then, in the second half, Jordan frequently dribbled the ball from the backcourt to the frontcourt, and he only trusted two teammates.

Schmitz and Porter.

The former is a solid finisher outside the paint, and the latter is a good shooter.

For him, these two were enough, and the game of basketball suddenly became a 3-on-5 sport.

The Blazers replaced the ineffective Glider with Jerome Curcy and, surprisingly, reused Anthony Mason.

It later proved that this substitution was a turning point in the game.

The Blazers finally assembled a lineup that allowed Jordan to hold the ball infinitely and attack wildly, regardless of other people's moods.

Louis is really not used to seeing Jordan play like Harden, but he has to admit that even if he plays like this, Jordan's offensive influence is the league's number one.

As an offensive player, he has no dead ends except that the three-pointer is not accurate enough.

As the core of the offense, he has a historical level of threat both on and off the ball.

19 points behind, with Jordan not resting for a second, he chased back point by point. 10 seconds before the end of the game, Jordan intercepted the pass from the Lakers, and the Blazers trailed by 1 point.

Rick Pitino cautiously requested a timeout.

When the live camera came to the Blazers, Pitino was gathering the players together and designing a play for Schmitz.

Because the Lakers must believe that Jordan is going to shoot a lore, if the ball is passed to Schmitz, there will be a surprise effect.

As a result, Jordan punched the tactical board and shouted: "Even if you want to lose, you have to lose in my hands. Give me the ball!"

At the last moment, the Blazers trailed by 1 point, and they fell behind 2-3 in the series. This is a true life and death goal.

Louie watched Jordan glare like Hannibal, and he knew the man wouldn't disappoint the team.

As a result, he did hit the game-winning shot that brought the Blazers back to life.

Jordan made a buzzer-beater and brought the Blazers to the tiebreaker.

Just as a spectator of the game, the Knicks coaching staff has already watched with excitement.

"This is the most dominant performance I've ever seen!" Tomjanovich exclaimed.

"Okay, instead of talking about this, let's talk about Game [-] of the Western Conference Finals." Louis asked, "Who do you think will win?"

Only Tomjanovich thinks the Blazers will win, and everyone else chooses the Lakers.

The reason Tomjanovich chose the Blazers was because they had Jordan.

The attitude of others is pragmatic. In a round of the series, some people may be able to win a certain game with their personal performance, but it is too difficult to win the entire series by one person.

Even if this kind of thing is against the sky, even if it is really done, I am afraid that it will take decades of luck to exchange it with God.

Louie also felt that the Lakers would win. If he was a fan, he would hope that Jordan's personal heroism will be carried out to the end, but he is a coach, and he has to look at the problem objectively.

The problem is that when the tiebreaker is played, Jordan may encounter a tight defense, the glider may continue to explode, and Jordan's own hand may become rotten. There are many possibilities. As long as one of them comes true, the Blazers will be finished.

Although in Louie's heart, he hopes that Jordan will make it out of the West, and he wants to win the opponent again in the finals.

But in the end, ideals are no match for reality.

In the tiebreaker between the Trail Blazers and the Lakers, Glider played 41 minutes and scored 8 points, 8 rebounds and 11 assists. When attacking, he was like an invisible man, completely non-aggressive.

Jordan played 47 minutes and scored 42 points, 14 rebounds and 1 assist.

Looking at his assists, we can see what the Lakers did to the Blazers.

Jordan is completely separated from his teammates, even if he really plays against the sky, it is difficult to win.

108 is better than 101
The Lakers eliminated the Blazers with a 7-point advantage. This is the fourth victory in the five confrontations between the Traitor and Jordan.

"I'm very excited and very excited. You know, there are a group of young people around me. I have to watch them, but I am very relieved for them. They have seen the strength of the Knicks in the finals." Tragedy, as always, showed the image of a perfect leader, "We don't want to mess up this time."

The tragedy teacher has forgotten that almost everyone in the outside world is optimistic about the Knicks. Anyway, even if the whole world abandons them, Los Angeles will not.

By the way, if the Lakers lose the finals again this year, the tragedy division will have 7 runners-up, which is 1 less than the most tragic superstar ever, Lakers legend, and current Knicks general manager Elgin Baylor.

⑴In fact, he won five times against the Trail Blazers in six years, but one of them was Jordan's reimbursement for the season, so it was not counted.
