the rest, only noise

Chapter 980 You Said You Didn't Come To Scold Me
"Michael, you said you have waited a year for this game, so tonight's performance is the 'breakout' you have been waiting for for a year?"

It must be admitted that the New York media is like shitting on the table and peeing in the washbasin—clean and immoral.

Mr. Qiao didn't have time to suffer for his poor performance, so he was angered by the media.

"Next question!"

"Michael, do you want to talk about your gambling debt to the dealer?"

"The matter has been explained clearly enough."

"Is it clear? But we still don't know how you met this independent dealer."

"Next question!"

God, this is Jordan, isn't this Mohammed Rauf?
※※※

Louis heard about the media's "making things difficult" for Jordan, which didn't sound like good news.

They angered Jordan, who will bear the anger at that time?
Of course the Knicks.

Jordan is not Ewing's kind of idiot who will not defend himself and talk all kinds of nonsense when his defense is broken. If he is anxious, it is not impossible to score 2 points in Game1000.

Therefore, in line with the principle of being kind to others, Louis deliberately guarded the entrance of the visiting team's media interview room.

When Jordan came out with a gloomy face, he said with concern: "I hope the media didn't embarrass you too much."

"Coach Lu, thank you for bringing such a game, let us wake up from the dream of winning the championship at your fingertips."

The anger and fighting spirit on Jordan's face cannot be concealed.

"We have felt your desire to defend the championship, which is the best." Jordan said grimly, "Only by defeating the best New York, can we wear the crown with peace of mind."

Knicks at their best?
Louie couldn't help laughing.

"It seems that you don't need my comfort." Louis said lightly.

"Consolation?" Jordan said nonchalantly. "Do you Chinese think of the word 'consolation' differently? Your players have troubled me all night, and I played a disgusting game. Who do you think they ordered? The culprit of all this wants to comfort me before winning the series?"

"You're too serious, Mike."

"The consolation I'm talking about is just a euphemistic rhetoric to add salt to the wound. Since you don't need it, forget it."

Louie knew that there was no point in staying here, and Jordan not only woke up, but woke up with rage.

Game2 will have a tough fight.

Louis turned around and was about to leave when he suddenly thought of something. He had to stop and turned back to Jordan and said, "I have to say one more thing. The Knicks are farther away from the best than you are from the championship. I even think that we don't have the best because there is no team in the world that can make us reach the best. I thought you would be that team, but you let me down tonight."

"If you want to see the Knicks at their best, you must first ask yourself whether you have the qualifications." After speaking, Louis smiled kindly, and this time he really left.

Jordan stopped talking, and he pursed his lower lip into his mouth, seemingly holding back endless anger.

On the way back to the locker room, Louis kept asking himself, "Louis, Louis, Li Zaigan?"

Didn't he want to comfort Jordan?
Why does it seem to make him more anxious?

Ah, what should I do if I score 1000 points in the second match?
At present, Louis has no major worries, because the Blazers' starting lineup looks extremely powerful, but it has too many flaws compared to the Knicks.

Riley wanted to use offense to make up for it, but how could the Knicks be one of those teams in the West that they used offense to blow up?

In addition to their historical defensive ability, the Knicks also have the best offensive ability in history.

Riley's idea is too naive, but Louis believes that the other party will not last long.

He may not be able to solve the Blazers' problems, but he will copy the answers.

The Knicks won Game 1, which is reasonable and unexpected.

Over the years, their record has been stable, relying on Louis' hard work year after year.

They have the most advanced system and the most balanced lineup.

This kind of balance usually seems to be nothing, but in the playoffs, in the atmosphere where any shortcomings will be targeted by opponents, the Knicks, who are comprehensive and have no dead ends, are difficult to target.

The Knicks were cornered by the Trail Blazers last year because many players were injured and the balance of the lineup was broken.

This year, the Blazers have made large-scale reinforcements, and the Knicks have steadily improved their players, and all of them are healthy. For their opponents, the Knicks tonight is also an opponent they have never met before.

The UCLA Twin Guns received the most praise.

Wilson and Miller are the Knicks' highest scoring and second most scoring players, respectively.

Wilson, in particular, had a heavy defensive task, and the offensive end was not the core of the game, but he scored a team-high 31 points, 6 rebounds and 8 assists. In terms of statistics, he surpassed Jordan's 26 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists.

As a shooter, Miller was also terrifying. He made 14 shots, including 9 of 6 three-pointers, and scored 28 points and 4 rebounds.

Riley didn't know what the purpose was, but actually said: "Reggie Miller helped the Knicks win this game."

The media in New York thought he was a murderer.

"Don't you think Benj is the man of the game?"

"We're all used to how good Benj is. For us, that's his routine."

In fact, the best player in Louie's heart is Ewing.

尤因今天打了35分钟，虽然“只”得到14分16篮板6助攻3封盖，但基本完成了对萨博尼斯的对位碾压。

His presence made it impossible for the Blazers to focus their offense on the inside.

Although Sabonis is very good, compared with Ewing, there is a clear gap.

This is also related to the different positioning of the two.

Sabonis is not used to being marginalized on the court, and Ewing has long accepted the position of the third or even fourth offensive point on the court.

Moreover, out of guilt, Ewing is more selfless than in the past, which also brought positive effects to the team beyond expectations.

"I'm so proud of you guys tonight."

"However, we are still a long way from achieving our goal."

"Go back and have a good rest, see you tomorrow."

Ewing took off the thick knee pads and soaked his feet in the ice bucket.

The team doctor gave him a massage.

He didn't say a word.

Wilson went first, then Rodman.

"Boss, see you tomorrow." Kemp enshrined him like a god.

This fellow Ewing, however, put on a show in fives and sixes, and nodded to Kemp, who was like a younger brother, as a response.

Seeing him like this, Louis wanted to scold him a few words, but he didn't.

Louie and Ewing have grown estranged a lot.

However, this alienation was carried out by Louis on his own initiative.

Starting in the semifinals, he changed his address to Ewing from "Patrick" to "Patrick" because he was disappointed with Ewing.

Every guy who likes to get people's mentality is proficient in pulling.

When Louis was disappointed with Ewing, Ewing suddenly became what he wanted to see.

Then Louie couldn't help but wonder, Am I being too mean to him?

Could it be that I have no responsibility at all for Ewing to become like this?
Louis really felt that he had no responsibility, but Ewing had played under him for so many years, and they knew each other very well and had a tacit understanding.

He shouldn't alienate Ewing just because of this.

Therefore, he deliberately gave the team doctor a look.

The team doctor left knowingly.

"I'm enjoying it." Ewing said dissatisfied.

"Let your lover do the rest. I have something to tell you." Louis' tone did not allow Ewing to refuse.

Ewing thought the game was over and the Knicks had won, so what else could Louie do?
Is there something wrong with his performance tonight?
"Do I have a choice?"

"I deliberately waited until everyone else left, and wanted to have a man-to-man conversation with you. What's your attitude?"

Louis was dissatisfied.

Hearing that Louis was going to have a "conversation between men", it was hard for Ewing not to think badly, and cold sweat began to break out on his neck.

The last time Louie had a "man talk" with him, he scolded him so badly that he couldn't eat or sleep well for the next week.

"Again?"

"What's coming again, what do you think I want to do?"

"Aren't you here to scold me?"

Louis couldn't understand his brain circuit: "Why do you think I want to scold you?"

Ewing looked at him with a more incomprehensible expression: "Which time did you not put on such a gesture to scold me?"

Ewing's reaction made Louis very helpless, but it also made him see something from it.

These years, maybe he was really too mean to Ewing.

Between Ewing and Benj, Louie adopted a double standard.This is because, Benj rarely let him down, and Ewing often made low-level mistakes.Louie also knew that his double standard would anger Ewing, and he would demand himself more strictly, which also made Benj not dare to lower his requirements for a moment.

But it was also for this reason that the rift between Ewing and Wilson was pulled wider and wider, until today, even Louis could not control it.

In this case, Louis has no excuses, he thinks he is in control, but he screwed up.

"You played very well today, impeccable."

Louis' words made Ewing stunned.

"Then am I a qualified leader?"

"For tonight, not only qualified, but excellent."

"Hmph, Benjamin won't agree."

You said how can he calm down and talk to him like this?

"Then hit him until he agrees, you idiot!"

"Ha! What did I say?" Ewing stepped on the ice bucket and pointed at Louis like winning a jackpot, "You still say you didn't come to scold me?"

Louis hesitated to speak, opened his mouth again and again, wanted to say something but couldn't.

Yes, Ewing is right, every time he wants to talk to Ewing about something, he can't control his temper and opens his mouth////explosively.

But the conscience of heaven and earth, this is definitely not his original intention.

"Patrick, I need you to keep doing this." Louie's tone changed. "I need you to keep doing this."

"Wait, what did you call me?"

"Damn, you are such a fool, can you listen to people?"
