the rest, only noise

Chapter 969 The Undefeated Golden Body Was Broken
The Heat have several good inside players.

Like Dale Davis, Antonio Davis, Rick Mahon, PJ Brown, Hank Gaithers.

These five people, with a balanced match, are all outstanding talents in the fourth and fifth positions, but the Knicks' inside line is even stronger.

Ewing, Kemp, Rodman, Yu Tiancan, and McHale are also an inside five-person team. The upper limit of the Heat is Gaithers, while the upper limit of the Knicks at this stage is Ewing, and the future is Kemp.

Game1, which Heat fans had high hopes for, turned out to be a complete defeat in the true sense.

He lost to the Knicks' UCLA with two shots in the backcourt, and the inside line also had no power to fight back in front of Ewing and Kemp.

Ewing had his best performance defensively since the start of the playoffs.

Facing the alternating attacks of Davis and Gaithers, Ewing scored 16 points, 18 rebounds and 8 blocks in a single game.

Ewing looks more and more like a bigger Bill Russell.

Louie didn't know if that counted as returning from a lost cause, or if it was still too late, but Ewing was changing.

For Louis, the most ideal Ewing is not the second center with all-round offensive and defensive capabilities after entering the 90s.But in the two years from 1988 to 1989, a pure, fierce and hideous contemporary Russell.

Louie threw him a towel when Ewing was off the court.

Louis said nothing.

Ewing glanced at him, and wiped his sweat with a towel solemnly but contentedly, as if asking Louis: Am I a qualified leader tonight?

In addition to Ewing, Kemp's performance also let the Miami people despair.

Defeating Larry Johnson in the semifinals made Kemp one of the top four positions in the league.

In the face of the Heat's head player Hank Geithers, Kemp also started ruthlessly.

The Knicks' roster is star-studded, but only Wilson and Ewing can really be called superstars.Like everyone else, Kemp was covered by the light of the two emperor stars. It wasn't until he killed Big Mom that everyone discovered that he was the third emperor star hidden in New York.

His progress is so rapid that even Louie has to admit that Kemp has become the No. [-] player for the Knicks.

今晚对阵盖瑟斯，他以22分9篮板4助攻1抢断2盖帽的表现与对方打了个旗鼓相当。

From the data point of view, Gaithers seems to be better.

However, most of Geithers' data came when the Knicks led by a big score and their defensive strength declined.

On the other hand, Kemp is in a fierce competitive environment, with Rodman behind him threatening his starting position at all times.He didn't dare to slack off, and went all out every second of playing.

So the feeling presented in this game is that Kemp beat Gaithers, but the statistics are not as good as the opponent.

"The data comparison between Sean Kemp and Hank Gaithers will make us understand that pure data can be easily deceived."

"Compared to Gaithers, Kemp is better."

Here's Hubie Brown's assessment.

And the next day, the New York Times wrote a lengthy article for Kemp under the headline "Now Let's Hire the Next Top Power Forward in the League."

The article introduces how Kemp beat Larry Johnson in the semifinals, and how Game1 suppressed Gaithers, and finally compares him with several other top power forwards.

The Times believes that Kemp's strength is higher than that of LJ and Gaithers. As for whether he is stronger than Malone, Manning, and Barkley, it still needs to be tested in actual combat.

At least for now, the Times believes that Kemp is the top four forwards in the league, and also lists Kemp's advantages over other top power forwards.

Kemp is better than Malone in athletic ability and physical fitness;

Camp is more like a power forward than Manning. Manning is too much like Sampson. The problem is that Sampson is 2 meters, while Manning is less than 2 meters. He should be a power forward, but he is taking the way of Sampson.His miscellaneous and unspecialized positioning is destined to prevent him from becoming the best fourth position;
In the comparison between Kemp and Barkley, the Times behaved confidently.Because Kemp had just blown up Larry Johnson, known as Barkley Jr., he completely ignored the difference in technical characteristics and immediate combat power between the two, and decided that Kemp would prove that he is the top three power forwards in the league by blowing up Barkley in the finals.

The public opinion from the outside world is very strange.

Obviously, the divisional finals are in full swing, but public opinion has already determined that the Knicks and the Trail Blazers will compete in the finals.

This public opinion environment deeply offended the other two protagonists in the conference finals.

"I don't think this series is without suspense."

Heat coach Billy Donovan said seriously.

"The Knicks is indeed a big mountain. We are climbers. Up is the only way. We will climb to the top and let the world hear our cries."

Public opinion that is underestimated works better than any chicken soup for the soul.

The Clippers and Heat launched a fierce counterattack in Game2.

Petrovic continued the state of the first game.

And tonight, no one in the Knicks could respond from the perimeter.

Meanwhile, Miami's home-court advantage also played a role.

The Knicks tried to use fierce defense to affect Petrovic's state, but the referee's whistle sounded frequently.

The referee did not allow intense physical contact, and the Knicks could only reduce the intensity.

However, once the strength is reduced, it cannot limit the performance of the opponent.

Petrovic's runaway was no accident.

The rise of Louis has allowed contemporary shooters to gain a wider world.

Petrovic not only took advantage of the wind brought by Louis, but also happened to play under Billy Donovan, Louis' direct descendant.

Although players like Petrovic are too advanced for the contemporary era, Donovan only needs to copy the way Louis used Mohamed Rauf to liberate the offensive firepower of basketball Mozart.

Petrovic does not have the Knicks' N.UCLA system to support his performance.

Donovan designed a lot of high-post dynamic offense tailored for him.

Donovan is arguably a more fanatical Louie believer than Pat Riley.Riley copied it, but he had a mind of his own.

Everything about Donovan is based on imitation of Louie.

However, if Donovan is simply good at copying, he will not be able to bring the Heat to the top of the league.

His characteristic is that he can copy and teach students in accordance with their aptitude.

The Heat lineup is deep enough, he will learn from Louis to play long rotation 13
The insiders, including Gaithers, are all blue-collar players, so use their blue-collar attributes to create opportunities for outsiders.

Although there is no relevant data to prove it, from Louie's perception, the Heat's pick-and-roll quality should be the first in the league.

Petrovich scored 40 points irresponsibly.

Followed by Joe Dumars, from an offensive and defensive point of view, Dumars is more like the core of the Heat than Petrovic.

Although his offensive firepower is far less than that of Petrovic, he can guarantee a basic set of 20+ per game, and Petrovic's state in each game is like rolling dice, sometimes 1, sometimes 3, and sometimes 6.

Dumars is a lot like Paul after leaving the Rockets.

Control the field like a sea god needle, stable output, and don't let go at critical moments.

The back line exploded, and the wings also flourished.

Reggie Lewis, the guy who Wilson sees and beats up once, has a good performance.

After going from Boston to Miami, Lewis was diagnosed with a heart problem. This is his luck and misfortune.

Fortunately, Miami has the world's top doctors for his treatment; unfortunately, he had to, like Gaithers, the playing time of each game was strictly limited.

Heart problems kept him, like Gaithers, from fully realizing his talents.

Now his style of play gives Louie a sense of deja vu.

Tonight, Lewis gave Wilson 4 blocks on the defensive end.

Moreover, 4 of these 3 blocks were completed within 5 minutes.

It's those blocks that give Louie a sense of who Lewis looks like.

He is like Kirilenko.

Lewis 5 blocks Wilson in 3 minutes, just like Kirilenko 90 blocks Kobe in 4 seconds.

Compared with Kirilenko, Lewis is a full-time No. [-] position. He is more mobile, more threatening with the ball, and protected by his teammates, making his offense smooth.

The Knicks had a poor offensive feel and couldn't put pressure on the defense. The audience couldn't find any good way to counter the aggressive Heat.

107 is better than 119
The Knicks lost to the Heat by 12 points, breaking their undefeated playoff run.

"I hope through this game to let the fans understand that New York is very strong, but if you want to say that there is no suspense in the Eastern Conference Finals, my players and I disagree."

Billy Donovan spoke vigorously to NBC's camera.
