The rest is just noise

"Reggie Miller saved New York! Taking this series to the seventh game!" Bob Costas, who witnessed all this, exclaimed, "This was a reversal that would make even God cry.

!”

Bill Laimbeer said nothing.

This result is not what he wants to see. He doesn't like the Knicks. This sentence is not just words.

However, he was not surprised.

This is the fucking Knicks!

They just lost to such a team!

"Bill, do you want to talk about Game 7?" Costas asked at the end of the show.

Ranbir shrugged and said, "No, because the answer in my heart is not what the audience expects."

Costas knows what Ranbir is talking about.

It's not what the audience expected, which means he thinks the Knicks will win Game 7.

This view will not be popular.

Although the Knicks are the most famous basketball team in the world (in contemporary times), Americans who like them are mainly concentrated in the Midwest.

People in other areas have a less favorable view of the Knicks.

Because they are a ruthless team.

When dealing with weak teams, they always have an attitude of killing them all.

If they can win a game by 50 points, they will work hard to win by 60 points.

Therefore, many people want to see them lose.

In the fourth quarter of this game, according to NBC statistics, approximately 10 million viewers temporarily joined the live broadcast, bringing the number of viewers of this game to an unprecedented 50 million.

What is the concept of 50 million people watching a basketball game?

It’s almost twice as many as Jordan’s 1998 NBA Finals.

And among these 50 million people, more than half want the Knicks to lose.

It can be said that the Knicks "disappointed" the expectations of 30 to 40 million Americans.

After the show, the staff came forward. Costas took off the headphones and asked Laimbeer: "Bill, do you really think the Knicks will win Game 7?"

"Except for us, no great dynasty team will lose Game 7." Laimbeer thought of the 1988 Eastern Conference Finals and still felt regretful. "If we didn't have so many injuries, maybe forget it and don't talk about this.

, I mean, the Knicks have completely 'awakened', their condition is better than ever, and they have no injury problems, so I think they will win Game 7."

※※※

After celebrating, Louis pinched his nose and was not as excited about the result as the players.

It's not that he had expected this result.

Rather, his excitement had already been vented to other things.

There were so many things about this game that touched him, whether it was Ewing's leadership, Wilson's return from the lost, or Miller's key performance. To be honest, the Knicks were "terminal" and there was no cure.

Every dynasty team has to reach this point.

What dismembered the Celtics in the 1960s was Boston's racial discrimination, which forced a exhausted Bill Russell to flee the city in 1969.

Without the Lord of the Rings, the 1960s Celtics naturally sank.

What ruined the Celtics in the 1980s was injuries and the rise of the Knicks.

It can be safely said that the 1980s Celtics were the last dynasty team to fall due to non-internal conflicts.

The Knicks dynasty emerged in an era when the league's commercialization was developing rapidly. Their success led to the appreciation of the league, but it also brought more problems.

Fame, money, and status, few people can say no to all three at the same time.

They will be destroyed by obsessed desires and irreconcilable contradictions.

Then, starting from Wilson's punch to Ewing, to Louis playing the magic ball to save his life, and in the last few minutes, the Knicks players embodied the two words "selfless" and "unity" on the court.

The Trail Blazers, who missed the opportunity, are undoubtedly a team that has reached perfection in all aspects.

The Knicks can only beat them if they reach the same level.

Tonight, they achieved it.

They struggled on the verge of death, delaying the final outcome of the story until the day after tomorrow.

"What a great game, Louis!" Tomjanovich hugged him excitedly.

Louis said: "It's not over yet, Rudy."

"Yes, but I really don't think we can lose!"

Louis did not have Tomjanovich's confidence in winning.

He hugged each other with his colleagues and then walked to the midfield. Pat Riley, who failed to win the championship tonight, looked at Louis with cold eyes: "Coach Lu, congratulations on your efforts to postpone the execution of the death penalty to the day after tomorrow.

.”

Louis smiled slightly and said: "Coach Riley, I no longer have your winning mentality. No matter whether we can defend the title or not, I can accept it."

As Louis walked past Riley, he whispered: "However, opportunities to win as good as tonight are rare. Sometimes we have to ask ourselves whether this is the only opportunity in my life?"

"By the way, tell Chuck that the Coke he sent is delicious."

Louis is a master of psychological warfare, and everyone in the league knows this.

So Riley doesn't care too much about Louis' words, they are all the other party's psychological warfare.

But the words did rumble in his heart.

Did they miss their only chance?

Is tonight the only chance to beat the Knicks?

This thought was quickly replaced by Riley's confidence in the Trail Blazers. He did not think that the Trail Blazers would lose Game 7. Although the "magic" that Louis cast on the Knicks was indeed amazing, the Trail Blazers just would not lose.

Because they are stronger and have made more preparations for this, they are better than the Knicks in every aspect.

However, Riley does want to take a closer look at what Louie did to the Knicks.

How did he indulge Wilson, causing the Knicks to collapse? What did he do in the locker room to give the team a fighting spirit like a tiger and a wolf, fighting to the death? What considerations did he give up in the last few minutes?

The attack at the basket and the Knicks' foundation (defense) were combined to create a miraculous reversal.

But now, what he needs to do more is to appease his players and protest against Miller's pushing action.

When Louis was asked whether Miller's action was a foul, he showed a strange smile: "If the referee doesn't call it, then it's not a foul."

When the reporter wanted to ask further, Louis also used the magnanimous Jordan as an example: "If Coach Riley has to make excuses every time he loses, I'm afraid he will never be able to win a second championship. Why can't he accept it with humility?"

What about failure? I think Michael’s attitude is quite upright.”

Jordan did not protest, because no matter how they protested, the game was over and they could only look forward.

"We will swallow blood because that's what our opponents do. I guarantee we will win the seventh game!"

Jordan is the only Blazers player who has made a public statement.

This is the attitude a pioneer needs.

Being reversed is not scary, what is scary is losing the fighting spirit.

Jordan's actions showed that the Trail Blazers had given up all illusions, because they were facing a team that would fight to the end even if they were 23 points behind.

The New York reporter, who had an intracranial orgasm after watching Game 6, was carried away at the press conference.

So much so that this question was raised:

"Patrick, do you think you will be the MVP of the Finals?"

"I hope MJ can become the MVP of the Finals." Ewing's words froze the scene until he broke the silence, "I'm kidding, I mean, I hope he becomes the losing team's FMVP."

Louis resisted the impulse of Explosive Hammer Ewing and patted the orangutan's head with a smile, "Good job, don't open it next time."

Wilson was asked, as before, about taking too many shots and the changes in the second half.

"I let a lot of people down." Wilson didn't make excuses. "I just hope it's not too late."

Then it's the turn of tonight's protagonist, Miller.

Miller's card was so big today that he asked Louis to get him a drink. He was not polite, took it and drank it, and then said arrogantly: "I know there are many people who don't think favorably of us. It doesn't matter. The more we do this, the more excited we are. We are very excited."

Enjoy the process of being the enemy of the world. I hope you will continue to look down on us in the seventh game. Finally, I have a message for Spike Lee. Please watch my mouth."

F U C K!

Y O U!!!

It is said that Director Li bought Miller's jersey immediately after watching the game, and then saw the opponent scolding him in front of the national media, so he silently burned the jersey.
