The rest is just noise

The MVP winner is out.

This ridiculous thing actually happened in the increasingly commercialized NBA in 1994.

And it doesn't sound like, "Oh, those idiots did something stupid again," but, "Damn, we made some mistakes in voting for the All-NBA team, let's find a way to make up for it."

So they blatantly broke their own standards when selecting the best team list, and voted Ewing, who seemed to be the least likely to be the MVP, as the MVP.

"I'm used to it, they always vote for New York."

Jordan seems to be suffering from middle-aged dementia, otherwise how could he forget the indifference that Knicks players suffered in voting for the All-NBA Team?

"According to this standard, why don't they put Patrick Ewing on the All-NBA team?" Golden State Warriors head coach Don Nelson asked puzzledly.

There have been many strange votes in the history of MVP voting.

Why does Ewing encounter so much controversy? Because he played in New York and unfortunately became a controversial MVP in an era when professional basketball was popular.

"If we can all accept an MVP who doesn't lead his team to the playoffs, then we should also accept an MVP who doesn't make the All-NBA team."

Although satirizing Ewing is an integral part of Louis' life, when it comes to honor, of course he stood up to support him.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar lies down.

Louis indirectly guided the New York media to a new floor-washing posture.

What should you do when a player on your team encounters a controversial incident?

It’s simple, anything can be done, as long as you look through old accounts and find the same controversial things, right?

So, Wes Unseld in 1969 was dug out.

You can accept a person who averaged 14+18 per game and was eliminated by the number one competitor (Willis Reed) in the first round as the MVP, but you cannot accept that he led the team to the league's first record in the regular season and averaged 10 points per game in the playoffs.

Will Ewing, whose data rose to 23 points, 10 rebounds, 6 assists and 4 blocks, be the MVP?

(Reed’s regular season data is 21+14+2)

Taking this as an example, the New York media began to fight back crazily.

Ewing's MVP has become legal and legitimate, and anyone who questions it will be criticized.

For Ewing, judging from the long-term impact of this MVP, it would be better not to get it.

Because of this MVP, those voters who were controversial may never vote for him for MVP again.

And this is only his second MVP trophy.

Ewing's own attitude towards the off-field turmoil still makes the media very uncomfortable: "I only focus on the game."

After so many years, he has always been like this. Although everyone is not used to it, they all accept it.

That radical Bill Russell was nothing more than that in the 1990s, right?

Although such an idea is insulting to the Lord of the Rings, Ewing has only been in the industry for a year or two, and everyone has long been accustomed to his birdlike appearance.

At least when Rauf desecrated the flag, Ewing acted like a responsible leader, while Wilson was hiding his head and tail, and was ambiguous.

Louis can feel that the Knicks are falling step by step into Ewing's control.

But this process was not deliberately promoted by Ewing.

The only one who acted a little self-conscious was Benj, and that was partly because he had given up on playing Mr. Perfect.

Mr. Perfect Benj will take care of everyone's feelings like Dr. J and The Tragedian, but now Benj is still thinking about his future.

Ewing's MVP controversy has taken away some of the attention.

The bloody battle between the Trail Blazers and the Warriors is underestimated.

This is a very high quality series.

In the first game, the Warriors used their "The Blitzkrieg" to the fullest. Penny pushed the rhythm, Payton was the main defensive counterattack, and there were multiple points beyond the three-point line. They scored 136 at home with an intensity that the Portlanders could not imagine.

point.

Scored 136 points against the Trail Blazers, and still in the playoffs, it's really unimaginable.

But they did it.

After thinking about it, the Trail Blazers increased their defensive efforts, but were restricted by the rules on the road and were unable to perform to their fullest. As for the Warriors, Hardaway played perfectly, with 33 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists in a single game, leading the team to a 2-0 lead.

Back at home, the Trail Blazers pulled back two games with the help of Jordan's 45-point Game 3 and everyone's awakening in Game 4.

When the Battle of Tianwang Mountain took place, the outside world was arguing over whether Ewing was the most unworthy MVP in history.

Jordan looked cold and had a belief in his heart that "I will definitely take Portland to the finals."

That night, Golden State people saw God playing in jersey No. 23.

Jordan came, Jordan gave, Jordan conquered.

When Pence used his size to defeat the Smiling Assassin, Jordan came over to switch defense, and Pence was inactive from then on.

When Payton's trash talk made Portland uneasy, Riley used the roll call tactic he stole from Louis and had Jordan grab Payton and beat him severely.

All night long, the 33-year-old Jordan was like a nightmare, blocking the Warriors' light and plunging them into darkness.

"This is the most horrific individual performance since Benjamin Wilson scored 66 points in the Finals."

In the match between the Trail Blazers and the Warriors, Jordan played 47 minutes and scored 63 points, 11 rebounds and 4 assists, firmly planting Portland's flag on the Golden State team.

Louis watched the game live on TV.

At the end of the game, when he saw the lonely look on the Warriors' face, he knew that this team had been psychologically killed by Jordan.

This is not a trauma that can be relieved by just two days of rest.

At the same time, Louis was also comparing the Jordan he saw in front of him with the Jordan in his previous life.

In his previous life, Jordan was exhausted physically and mentally due to the inability to find an opponent in the world, the constant pressure from the media, and the pain of losing his father, so he chose to retire and play baseball.

What about this life?

Jordan, who is about to enter the league for 10 years, has not won a championship. There will be no blind fans in Portland to kill his father. He still has a strong motivation, eager to win, and his skills and immediate combat ability are obviously strong.

Myself in another timeline.

If Jordan, who is called the goat, has a 2K rating of 99-105⑴, then this Jordan's rating is at least between 106-110.

In Game 6, the Warriors, whose morale was completely destroyed by Jordan, were unable to fight again.

No matter how much Nelson screamed, he couldn't arouse the bloody spirit of the players.

114 to 97

4 to 2

The Trail Blazers have advanced to the Finals for three consecutive years.

Jordan showed terrible dominance in this series. Game 6 was probably the easiest game for him and also his worst personal data, with "only" 32 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists.

Throughout the Western Conference Finals, Jordan averaged 40 points, 9 rebounds and 6.4 assists per game.

What prevents him from climbing to the top is not just the Knicks, but also conflicts within the team.

Riley's routine has come to an end.

Next, either he leaves or Barkley leaves. No matter who leaves, it will be a serious blow to the Blazers' immediate combat effectiveness.

The finals between the Knicks and Trail Blazers will begin on June 8.

Before that, both teams have four days to rest.

Even on off-season days, Louis will come to the Blue Palace.

In recent days, Madison Square Garden Entertainment, which owns the Knicks, has undergone seismic personnel changes.

President Jack Krueger, who has known Louis for many years, was promoted to head office.

Just when Louis was worried that someone would cause trouble if the MSG president was vacant, the head office gave the Knicks basketball operations department the right to operate independently from MSG temporarily.

As the president of the basketball operations department, Louis should be happy. This means that the only people who can restrain him are the people at the head office.

But he doesn't think this is a good thing.

Allowing the basketball operations department to operate freely usually can only mean one thing. The changes in the top management have become so chaotic that they have no time to manage their golden brand.

Louis, whose contract is about to end this summer, can't help but think more about his future.

Then, Rudy Tomjanovich came to his office and asked him to travel with the team on the road during the Finals.

"I'm not the coach now, so why are I here to teach you how to beat the Trail Blazers?" Louis joked.

Tomjanovich said pragmatically: "If you are here, everyone will feel at ease, including me."

"I am not your talisman, and I don't want to be a mascot to bless you with good luck." Louis said slightly coldly, "This is your battle, and I will only watch it in front of the TV."

Tomjanovich said helplessly: "Okay, you don't have to go to the away game with the team, then you have to at least go to the home game to watch it, right?"

"maybe."

"No, maybe, you have to be there!" Tomjanovich said, "Promise me!"

Louis nodded reluctantly.

"Do you agree?" Tomjanovich seemed to be afraid that Louis would not come to the scene.

They have obviously been left alone for a season, why is it still like this? Louis doesn't understand.

In response to Rudy's question, his tense face suddenly smiled: "You may think it is, or you may think it is not, it's up to you."

Tomjanovich was anxious.

"No matter what your plans are, you shouldn't let it go completely. Don't forget, you are still the head coach of the team, I am just the acting coach!" Tomjanovich said excitedly, "Your contract has not yet been signed."

At the end of the day, you still have responsibility for this team. Everyone in the Blue Palace relies on you. Even if you just sit on the sidelines and watch, they will feel a lot more at ease."

"You mean, if I'm no longer here one day, you won't be able to win?"

"That was not what I meant"

"That's not what you mean? Then what nonsense are you talking about? I will decide whether to go to the scene or not. You do what you should do. Portland is in such a bad state this year. If you can't lead the team to win seven consecutive championships

, I really don’t know how to make you the official head coach.” Louis blasted Rudy away, “If you spend half of your time persuading me to watch the game on studying the opponent, I will be much more optimistic about the finals.

of."

⑴I know that the highest score in 2K is 99, but that’s just the surface, it’s not just the highest.
