The rest is just noise

Isiah Thomas dribbled through and distributed to the outside.

Jordan had already run out of space under the screen of Clifford Robinson, and Robinson, who was covering for him, also chose to stay on the outside to open up space.

Screen and roll for the defender inside, and then bounce outside to stand at the three-point line to maximize the space. This tactic that transcends the times can only be played by Kemp in the Knicks. By coincidence, Riley got two players who can shoot three-pointers.

Inside, he decisively developed this style of play.

Robinson's choice made it difficult for the Knicks' defense to get in place in time.

Thomas safely delivered the ball to Jordan.

"Whoosh!"

7 to 0

Less than three minutes into the game, the Knicks encountered a goal drought.

Since Robinson is standing at the Trail Blazers' third position, Louis can only ask Wilson to face him. If Miller is placed in front of him, the scene will be difficult to imagine.

Letting Miller face Jordan seems to be a good choice, but under the high-quality cover of the Trail Blazers, it is difficult for Miller to deal with Jordan.

On this shot, Miller was killed by Robinson, leaving Jordan unguarded.

Spike Lee even scolded Miller: "Reggie, what the hell are you doing? Can you guard MJ? Do you want us to lose by playing like this, nigga?"

"qnmd!" Miller shouted, "It's not your turn to talk to me!"

When Li heard this, he thought he couldn't offend Louis and was afraid of you little Miller. Then he stood up and shouted: "I'm just talking about you. You are the weakest of all the niggas on the field. Pay him back."

Mom has no idea!"

Louis blocked out the cacophony and rejected Thibodeau's suggestion of a timeout.

These first few goals were all acceptable points lost.

Rauf was pressed from the front again, and this time, Louis signaled Stevens to step forward to respond.

If someone is there to help, the situation will be much better.

Rauf took advantage of Stevens's advancing body to throw away Thomas 1.

Rauf dribbled to the frontcourt, and Wilson ran to attract attention.

Miller ran into the open space with Ewing's help, and it was a classic Knicks exge ricky (high post dynamic offense).

Rauf passed the ball and Miller took the ball.

"Whoosh!"

3 to 7

"I hate this tactic." Laimbeer said half-jokingly. "This attack also shows that the Knicks are starting to enter the state. It should be said that this game has just begun."

"Alex!" Louis shouted, pointing to Thomas in front of him.

The Trail Blazers can use their frontcourt defense to affect the Knicks' progress, and the Knicks can do the same.

In terms of defensive quality, the Knicks will only be higher.

As one of Louis' most trusted players, Stevens immediately stepped forward to hand over to Rauf after being instructed. Then, like a rabid dog, he gave Thomas an unbearable blow in the frontcourt in just five seconds.

foul.

Thomas used a deflection to get past Stevens, and he almost succeeded.

If Stevens does not take extraordinary measures, the defense will be broken through, and a short five-on-four situation will form in the frontcourt. For this team that only needs four seconds to launch a defensive counterattack, a five-on-four situation in a few seconds will

Hitting four is enough to complete a nice attack.

So Stevens took a shot from behind, seemingly trying to get the ball, but in fact he took a very bold approach to attack Thomas' abdomen.

Thomas was knocked down on the spot. The referee on duty, Dick Bavetta, made a common foul for this action that was unacceptable to Pat Riley.

"This has to be a flagrant foul!" Riley yelled.

Louis completely ignored Riley's negotiation with Bavetta and quickly ran to the midfield to communicate with Stevens: "Good foul, every foul must have this 'quality', don't foul casually, I need you to play in this game."

More than 20 minutes.”

"Coach, relax." Stevens didn't expect that he would have a day to relieve Louis' pressure. "These guys will cheer up."

Louis snorted coldly, "I don't dare to have such extravagant hopes."

Just as Louis was walking back, he suddenly heard a whistle behind him.

Riley negotiated with Bavetta to no avail, and unwilling to accept it, he verbally had a relationship with a member of the opposite sex in his family. Bavetta was dissatisfied and gave him a technical foul.

"You better fucking kick me out!" Riley hissed, "I'm going to appeal to the league office!"

Louis felt sorry for Riley. After working in this business for so many years, could he still not recognize the virtues of Bavetta?

If this birdman was afraid that others would sue the league office, he would have tucked his tail between his legs and become a dog. Doesn't he need to be in every arena like a teddy in heat?

Riley was called for a technical foul, and Thomas was also replaced for examination by the team doctor. Stevens' move did have an unexpected effect.

Rauf made two technical foul free throws.

5 to 7

Rauf called a pick-and-roll, and the Blazers double-teamed him.

This is a threat with the ball that cannot be seen in Stockton, and it is also the psychological shadow that Rauf left on his opponents in the finals.

The coaching staff had already vaccinated Rauf against double-teaming, and he was used to high-intensity double-teaming during intra-team competitions.

Now it's very easy to pass the ball to Stevens who is in the open position.

Outside the right three-point line, Stevens received the ball in an open position.

In order to flank Rauf, the Trail Blazers released Stevens, who shot 41% from three-point range. He will also use a three-pointer to allow the Knicks to take the lead, making the Trail Blazers pay attention to his shooting skills.

"Whoosh!"

8 to 7

"If someone describes Alex Stevens as the Knicks, I won't mind." Laimbeer's words are not a compliment to himself.

Judging from their status within the team, Stevens is a bit high.

The guard replaced by the Trail Blazers is Alvin Robertson, who joined the industry together with Jordan. This person's ball-handling style is retro-style, not fast-paced, focused on stability, and rarely makes mistakes.

The effect of Stevens leading the defense was achieved, and it took the Blazers 7 seconds to cross halftime.

But Robertson was rarely as radical as Thomas.

He knows who the boss of this team is, and he will give the ball to the boss. After all, he is just a small player who wants to get a ring in peace before retiring.

With Thomas off the court, the Trail Blazers temporarily lost their engine. They could give the ball to Jordan and let him create, or they could give it to Sabonis, whose support defeated the Knicks in Game 5, or they could choose to give it to Barkley. He

The certainty of singles is very high, even the most mediocre choice - letting Robertson organize it, is not a bad choice.

Robertson was just a junior in the star-studded Trail Blazers, but in the 1980s he was one of the best guards at the time. He had comprehensive abilities and it was not difficult to temporarily take over the offensive organization.

Riley, whose blood pressure was raised by Bavitala, did not get dizzy. He chose the optimal solution and let Sabonis support him.

Sabonis stood in a high position at a 45-degree angle on the right side, and Ewing defended alone.

If the inside wants to provide beautiful support, there are no more than three types: personal offensive threats to attract double teams and ball distribution, teammates on the wings who can move and take advantage of the vision advantage brought by their size to timely deliver the ball, or use the inside's body as a gateway to pass the ball.

Cover with hands.

Sabonis's choice completely exceeded people's imagination.

He held the ball in his chest, and Ewing behind him would never let him get closer to the penalty area.

At this time, teammates started running.

Barkley was open in the penalty area for less than a second, and Sabonis' hand that tightly grasped the ball may have just shaken.

For the audience, this scene may be missed in a blink of an eye.

"omg!!!"

After receiving this incredible pass, Barkley jumped on the spot with excitement and performed a hard slam dunk.

"You will never be able to pass this kind of ball in your lifetime."

When Ewing ran upfield, Louis scoffed at him.

Ewing admitted that this was true, but it was not beautiful to say it.

So Ewing deliberately stood high and pulled Sabonis out, then accelerated to cut in, and Rauf passed the alley-oop.

Ewing immediately grabbed the basketball above the rim with a speed that soared into the sky, and then launched a violent dunk at a height that no one on the court could stop.

This response is no less brilliant than Sabonis's just now.

Ewing's dunk instantly raised the atmosphere by several levels. Although the Trail Blazers are strong, the Knicks' current combat effectiveness is not weaker than theirs.

New York fans who have witnessed the Knicks' five consecutive championships believe that this team will show tenacity and win the final victory just like in 1988.

When retreating, Ewing shouted to Louis: "He can't dunk like me!"

Louis seems to be on the same side as Sabonis: "He can when he's young!"

"Ahem..." Zhao Yuanzheng reminded, "Old road, speaking of youth... Sabonis is 2 years younger than Ewing."

Probably Ewing's appearance was no different from when Louis first saw him more than ten years ago, so he always felt that Ewing was still very young.

In fact, Ewing is 31 years old this year.

But Sabonis, who looks like an old man, is only 29 years old.

"Does Patrick know about this?" Louis asked.

Zhao Yuanzheng thought, if Ewing knew, he would have refuted it, right?

"Probably don't know."

Louis smiled and said: "Don't tell him."

1 This is not a moving screen. You should have an impression of this situation in the game. "One defender advances, and the other frontcourt leads the defense. The server on the advancing side often deliberately slows down and runs forward, and then the ball holder will
