the rest, only noise

Chapter 849 What was this
"See? This is Benj! My baby!"

Pat Riley called a timeout immediately after Benjamin Wilson made that [-]-pointer in front of Xavier McDaniel.

Because the first quarter was not halfway through, Wilson scored three three-pointers in a row, including a four-pointer, and the victim was also McDaniel.

Wilson's outburst turned the Knicks into an off-court, first cracking the Blazers' full-court press-based pressure method, forcing them to replace Barkley in advance to maintain offensive firepower.

But even so, it only eased the situation of being crushed on the head.

In the first quarter, the Knicks led the Blazers by 34 points 21 to 13.

In this case, Riley did not dare to replace Jordan. The Blazers needed the Flying Pigs to be on the court at the same time.

Louie rested Wilson and replaced Alex Stevens at the three with Kemp, Ewing, Maxwell and Chris Jackson.

Louie has always known that the lifeline of the Blazers is inside.

But in the game, he often finds that opening the situation from the outside is a more Knicks-style offensive method.

Wilson proved it, and now that he's off the court and with both Reggies out with injuries, it seems like playing inside is the only option.

As a surprise soldier in this round of the series, CJ knows very well that Benj contributed a lot to the smoothness of this game. Now that he is playing again, he must consider whether this is an opportunity to end the game.

Louie's tactical weight to CJ is the same as in the past.

"If you feel good, shoot." Louie gave CJ the authority that many people don't understand. "You can shoot all the time. If the situation gets out of control, I will replace you."

Ewing has never been the Knicks' offensive trump card. Stockton has never played like this. Miller is an off-ball shooter. Except for Wilson, there is no second person on the Knicks who has such a tactical position on the offensive end.

Even Wilson, he has to take care of other people's emotions.

In 99% of cases, Wilson will not ignore the feelings of his teammates to activate his unlimited fire power.

And CJ will do it because it's a privilege Louie gave him.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Knicks rarely had the opening ball in the second and third quarters.

Even if the Blazers give up using the full-court press to break the Knicks, someone still needs to lead the Knicks' ball handlers.

The man in charge of doing this is Terry Porter.

CJ fearlessly dribbles forward and is quick.

Since Porter is leading the defense and cannot completely block CJ in the backcourt, he has to keep retreating to gain defensive space.

This kind of defense is passive. In an instant, Porter's defense was penetrated by CJ.

CJ drove the ball to the basket, attracted the Blazers' help defense, and gave Ewing a wonderful pass.

Ewing immediately grabbed the ball with both hands and was about to slam dunk. Anthony Mason blocked the block roughly. His height and explosive power did not allow him to block Ewing from the front. Therefore, this shot was not so much a block as a deliberate violent thug.

Mason implemented the Blazers' no-layup principle and violently stopped Ewing.

The referee called a foul, but Ewing would not let it go. After landing, he pushed Mason in dissatisfaction.

Louie understood the emotion.

Only those who truly hate each other can play without scruples, as they did against the Celtics in 1988.

And the Celtics-Sixers series in 1981.

All heated series are a process of mutual loathing.

By the end, the disgust has become so real that the losing side can't congratulate the winning side at the end of the game.

Ewing made one of two free throws.

35 is better than 21
Afterwards, the Knicks had no effect on Barkley's double-team, and he scored hard in the crowd.

CJ's shocking performance also began.

It was he who dribbled the ball across half court again, and this time, Porter entangled him and prevented him from breaking through. CJ had to hand the ball to Stevens at the top of the arc.Stevens was nicknamed the Almighty Spider back then, and he was a player with many skills, but in the Knicks, Louis only wanted his defense, so fans had a stereotyped impression of him.

Now, the Knicks have a tight rotation on the wing. In addition to defense, the Knicks need him to show all his talents.

When CJ passed the ball to Stevens, Kemp had already stepped forward to set up a screen wall under Louie's signal. CJ made a decisive decision, and with the help of Rainman's high-quality screens, he got rid of Porter and faced Mason who had switched defenses.Mason looks rough, like a wild man in the mountains, and his muscles are even more terrifying, but his speed is not as fast as CJ.

Stevens sent a beautiful pass in the high post, and CJ went through Mason's defense, ignoring Nance's help defense and hitting a lob shot.

37 is better than 23
"Chris Jackson again!" exclaimed Bob Costas, "He's a fighter, totally inherited from Benj's aggression!"

Jordan passed the defense and dunked on Ewing's head.

The Memorial Stadium was overwhelmed by this, but within 14 seconds, CJ dribbled the ball from the outside and used Ewing and Kemp's double pick-and-roll to pass all the defenses.

Coupled with the fact that Ewing and Kemp brought both Nance and Mason to the high position, the Blazers' penalty area was empty.

Excited, CJ went inside and got up and dunked.

39 is better than 25
"This guy is really crazy!" Lao Mo exclaimed, "My God!"

That was the eternal question Tragedy left on air as an analyst for the 1992 Finals: "What's wrong with Boston's front office to send this talent to New York?"

No matter how stable the Blazers' Flying Pigs offense is, they sometimes miss.

In the next round, Barkley was blocked by Ewing.

Louie whistled on the sidelines, and the Blazers fouled early, preventing the Knicks' fast break attempt.

Everyone regretted this, only Louis said energetically: "Surround CJ and fight Exchange Ricky (high dynamic offense)!"

CJ's performance raised the Blazers' guard against him by several levels.

His breakthrough with the ball is difficult to make progress, because the person defending him has changed from Porter to Jordan.

Letting Jordan defend in person shows how much the Blazers value him.

"Michael, you can't guard!" Louie yelled.

Jordan glared at Louis, as if to prove that there was no one he couldn't guard against, and devoted himself to defense.

Louie knows how much this is a humanoid bulldog who likes to "smack people in the face who say he can't do XX".

But this time, what Jordan has to face is not a small CJ, but a high-position dynamic offense under the Knicks' machine-like and rigorous N.UCLA system.

CJ was once forced by Jordan to stand in the bottom corner.

The ball is in the hands of Maxwell on the left perimeter.

Suddenly, Kemp catches the ball, and behind him is CJ.

Jordan watched them vigilantly, never giving CJ and Kemp a chance to cooperate.Kemp returned the ball to Stevens at the top of the arc as if retreating from the difficulties.

Jordan's vigilance was relaxed. At this moment, CJ ran towards the top of the arc. The flying man reacted quickly enough, but he failed to catch up with CJ. Kemp's sturdy body turned into the hardest wall, blocking his pursuit at the bottom corner.

CJ asked for the ball from Stevens and turned to face the basket. Mason's help defense had already caught up, but his shot speed was as fast and urgent as lightning.

Louis raised his hands high, the arc of the ball was so beautiful that it was hard to describe in words, CJ's self-confidence was so high that he didn't even look at the ball, turned around and shouted: "Back to defense!"

After a moment, "Shua!"

The scene saw Wilson throw his towel on the floor, and it wasn't just a [-]-pointer.

What just happened is that the Trail Blazers, the team with the league's first defensive strength, still cannot contain Chris Jackson's outbreak after dispatching their strongest individual defender and the highest standard of defensive rotation.

You can say, this is humiliating the people of Portland, this is playing wild in the Memorial Stadium, this is shit on Jordan's head.

Of course, you can also say that this is Chris Jackson's success, this is his response to the world, and this is his response to all practitioners who think he is a parallel importer.

And, you must know, who changed Chris Jackson.

When CJ retreated, he made a special trip to the sidelines to give his coach a high-five.

Louis patted CJ's hand, and then saw Jordan furious, "Michael, you can't guard CJ, you just can't guard!"

"Just wait and see!" Jordan roared.

If CJ's goal just now was an insult to the Blazers' defensive system, then the next two goals surpassed the world's perception.

When Jordan retaliated with his back and back, and when Barkley intercepted the Knicks' pass and went to the frontcourt to complete 2+1, the Blazers' offensive seemed to be on the rise.

The Fliggy's offense has a frightening stability.

The Blazers realized that it was meaningless to defend CJ in the frontcourt, because the lead defense could not lock him, and he might be found a breakthrough, so they gave up this defensive plan.

When CJ came dribbling, he looked at Louie.

He is asking for instructions.

"CJ, let these people see your true strength!" Louie shouted.

So, Chris Jackson dribbled the ball to a distance of one meter beyond the three-point line at the top of the arc, and made a direct pull.

"CJ!" Costas yelled in disbelief, "What was this?!"

"Shh!"

Costas' scream reminded Louis of the S9 semi-finals. When Faker's hand shook, the commentator exclaimed in the same way-it turns out that the god of this game will also panic.

CJ's performance beyond people's perception is bringing this game to a doomed ending.

And the moment when everything is really calmed down is half a minute later.

The Blazers once again defended their positions perfectly, interrupting the Knicks' tactics.With 11 seconds left in the attack time, the Knicks had enough time to reorganize the offense. CJ, who was three meters away from the three-point line, glanced at the trapeze in front of him, with a reckless and vivid disdainful smile on his face.

Louis saw the most inspiring part of the basketball court, that is, ordinary people like Chris Jackson, who were labeled as parallel importers, grasped the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, just like Tony Stark in "Avengers 4", standing shoulder to shoulder with the gods.

When he shot from three meters away from the three-point line, Jordan had a "What was this?" expression on his face.

Then, the intercontinental missile-like long-range three-pointer from nine meters away hit the net.

"Shh!!!"

This is the sound that makes Portlanders desperate.
