The rest is just noise

Rudy Tomjanovich implemented the "Kill you while you're sick, kill you" guideline very well.

Since the Blazers are weak inside, they should use their inside advantage and concentrate on beating the opponent's inside.

This put the Blazers at a loss from the start.

When the audience's attention was attracted by the police chase scene on the big screen, Ewing was like a Titan with 9 points and 11 rebounds in a single quarter, leading the team to a 25-14 lead.

Bill Laimbeer said: "I can responsibly say that Portland's window to defeat New York has been permanently closed with the Lithuanian's ACL. Michael Jordan will become the tragedy of the 90s. No, he is better than

The Tragedian is even more miserable. Because we all know that he is the strongest player, and the Tragedian was not the strongest player at the time, he was just one of the strongest."

"Aside from Wilt Chamberlain, who is the recognized best player who cannot win the championship?"

Lambir used Chamberlain as an example, which is actually more heartbreaking.

Because even Chamberlain has two championship rings, while Jordan does not have any commendable team honors except the NCAA national championship and Olympic championship.

Being looked down upon by Ranbir is not a sad thing.

Maybe Trail Blazers fans should be happy because Laimbeer always predicts the opposite.

This is a strange phenomenon.

Teams that Laimbeer is optimistic about will always lose suddenly. He feels that in games that are no longer suspense, suspense will suddenly appear, and then the leading team will be reversed.

Laimbeer's famous game for reverse prophecy was last year's Finals Game 6 and Game 7. He pronounced the Knicks' death sentence twice in front of tens of millions of viewers during the national live broadcast. As a result, the Trail Blazers lost in the end.

So starting from the second quarter, the "Ranbir's optimistic" BUFF began to play a role.

Trail Blazers veteran Larry Nance, who was so crazy as a teenager, grabbed offensive rebounds from the heads of Ewing and Rodman, and completed an astonishing putback dunk that diverted the attention of the audience for a second.

Nance's putback dunk awakened Jordan.

After that, Jordan went on an unparalleled performance and scored 9 points in a row, helping the Trail Blazers get the point difference back to single digits.

Tomjanovich called a timeout.

After the timeout, Wilson responded with a three-pointer, once again stretching the point difference to double digits.

Barkley corrected his attitude and took the ball more often in familiar positions.

Although Kemp has completed the evolution from All-Star to superstar, when compared with Barkley, it can only be said that the defense is stronger, but the offense is still not up to par.

And Barkley's offense can blow through Kemp's defense at will.

If Kemp in his best form is the template for a perfect power forward, then how should a superstar like Barkley, who is extremely unbalanced in offense and defense, be defined?

Watching Barkley play, Louis can clearly feel how much advantage his strength has when facing players at the same position.

He doesn't have many commendable skills, he just has an unstoppable body.

Every time, Barkley was able to find the best position, borrow strength from his opponent, and make shots that seemed reluctant but actually very easy.

If he doesn't score, his instant explosiveness can help him grab offensive rebounds.

After Barkley exerted his strength, the Trail Blazers began to concentrate personnel in the penalty area.

Because the Knicks' biggest advantage is the penalty area.

In order to ensure that the rebounds are not overtaken by Ewing and others, and in order to prevent Ewing and Kemp from dominating the basket, they would rather let go of the Knicks' perimeter.

The Knicks can't let go of their perimeter.

Last year they died at the hands of the Knicks' perimeter.

This is undoubtedly a big gamble, and it is also two bottles of poison born of the flaws in the lineup.

After Sabonis was reimbursed for the season, the Trail Blazers had to face this choice. If they wanted to take care of both ends as before, they would only be beaten by the Knicks on both sides.

Wilson scored a three-pointer, and Miller also started to score three-pointers. After that, the Knicks' shooters all scored three-pointers.

At halftime, the Knicks' lead reached 20 points.

Although the advantage was huge, Louis in front of the TV was not happy at all.

Because the Blazers' performance is not what a team that is 20 points behind should be.

"Last year, New York also achieved a comeback from a 20-point halftime deficit." Jordan told reporters, "Why can't we do it? Why can't we?"

No one can tell him why the Knicks can come back, and no one can say that the Trail Blazers must not be able to come back in the second half.

Nothing is impossible in competitive sports.

In the second half, the Trail Blazers played a style that the Knicks are familiar with.

It's the kind of rudeness they once displayed, no matter the cost.

In the second half of last year's Game 7, they relied on this style of play to silence the unstoppable Trail Blazers on offense.

Riley was forced to change the lineup, then lost to the Knicks in a defensive battle, changed to the offensive lineup again, and was finally reversed.

Riley, who once fantasized about using offense to create a trend of the times, no longer had similar thoughts after that game.

The Knicks proved that as long as the referees relax their standards, they can use a brutal style to restrict any team that is good at offense.

Whether it's the Showtime Lakers or the 1993 Trail Blazers, who claim to have the strongest offensive ability in history.

This Knicks even used defense to suffocate the Celtics dynasty at the end of its peak in 1988, when they were still slightly young.

There's nothing they can't do.

Any idea of ​​using offense to defeat them will prove to be a self-deceiving joke.

So, Riley gave an incendiary speech in the locker room.

He asked his players to think about how the Knicks had beaten them in the past few years.

He even used Kevin McHale's famous clothesline foul on Bird as an example.

This undoubtedly touched the heart of Isiah Thomas.

Game 7 of the 1988 Eastern Conference Finals is still the game he least likes to recall.

The unwillingness to lose and the anger towards the Knicks were finally transformed into pure hatred under Riley's instigation.

This hatred has turned the Blazers into the most feared team in the league.

Stockton called a pick-and-roll and was violently flanked.

Within seconds, Stockton dropped the ball and was knocked to the ground by Clifford Robinson, who came to double-team.

The Knicks tried to match this intensity, but the Trail Blazers' range of motion far exceeded the level of basketball.

Kemp and Barkley got stuck and were about to reach a dominant position, but their teeth were knocked out by the flying pig's elbow.

He had to end.

After Rodman came up, the Knicks finally had someone who matched the strength of the Trail Blazers.

The game is becoming increasingly difficult to end.

But Louis' brows furrowed more and more tightly.

The revelation that Curry faced with Tyronn Lue's mindless double-teaming tactics is that even the top shooter in history will go crazy under such a defense.

What the Trail Blazers did is no longer within the scope of basketball.

It's like another game. It still operates according to most of the rules of basketball, but there is an unspoken rule that "as long as you don't kill the person, you can do anything to the opponent."

Dick Bavetta, Hugh Hollins and Earl Strome, the three scumbag referees, completely acquiesced in the Blazers' atrocities.

Louis' blood pressure was high because Rudy didn't know how to control the field at this scale. He didn't put pressure on the referee, but just made panic adjustments.

Can you blame him?

After all, this is his first year of coaching, and he doesn't have enough experience to deal with tonight's unexpected situation.

Although he did a lot of wrong things, he did one thing right, and that was giving enough trust to his teammates.

He constantly emphasized unity and helping each other, and then asked his players to retaliate in kind like Louis did.

But Riley still achieved his goal.

The Knicks' outside shooting percentage plummeted, and only Miller could still score goals steadily.

So Miller became the Blazers' key defensive target.

The intensity of competition has reached sky-high levels, and physical supremacy has begun to be implemented. Only those with the strongest physical talent can gain a foothold in the competition.

Ewing is still the dominant player in the paint.

Wilson gave up outside shooting and repeatedly dribbled to the basket and scored dunks.

Jordan staged the most iconic scene of the game in the middle of the third quarter. He came in with the ball from the left wing, took off in the paint, and pulled the rod twice with both hands in the air. When it reached the highest point, he handed the ball to his left hand to avoid the opponent behind him.

When the body fell, he switched the ball back to his right hand, pulled the lever four times, and finally threw the ball into the air with his magical touch and hit the ball.

Most of the audience was attracted by the chase scene between Simpson and the police, and they did not know that they missed the opportunity to witness the first lever pull in history.

This kind of ball is very demoralizing.

But Miller clapped his hands and shouted: "Pass the damn ball to me!"

When Miller got the ball, all the Trail Blazers players felt like their hair was standing on their heads.

It was a deep-seated fear.

Four guys were running toward him, and Miller shot the ball in what Spike Lee called a "shit move."

"Whoosh!"

The first drawbar in history, which shocked everyone with his skills, only had 2 points no matter what.

But this mediocre hollow goal counted as 3 points.

Miller arrogantly said to the four Trail Blazers players who were defending him: "I will send you to God with a fucking three-pointer!"

Miller didn't know what he was doing, he provoked a group of mad dogs who had lost their minds.

Ten seconds later, Isiah Thomas deliberately used force from behind Miller, crashed into his waist, and knocked him into the billboard with the ball.

Right in front of David Stern, two of the best basketball teams on the planet broke out on the court.
