The rest is just noise
Chapter 1117: Reappearing on stage after two years
Before the series began, everyone thought Miami would end New York's dominance.
Now that Miami has really defeated New York, the audience has an unreal feeling.
Many people suspect that they are dreaming.
They don't deserve to live in a world where New York basketball can be beat.
That night, the only real-life basketball fans were Miami Heat fans.
They were as excited as if they had won a championship.
At the game scene, the emotional reaction of the Knicks players' collapse was equally impressive.
Mohammad Raouf fell to his knees and cried bitterly.
Miller chose to leave the game early because he could not accept the team's failure.
Kemp hung the towel on his head, like a child longing to hide in another dimension.
Stith's eyes were red.
Stockton wiped his face with a towel. He couldn't tell whether it was sweat or tears.
Ewing should be the only one who can accept this defeat.
He played 48 minutes and scored 26 points, 24 rebounds, 7 assists and 5 blocks.
It can be said that his performance in this game overshadowed that of Ralph Sampson, the unattainable and only man who has shown his age under the erosion of time.
However, basketball games cannot be decided by one person.
Miami has the better 13-man.
"I believe that Patrick would very much like to have a man named Benjamin standing next to him at this moment."
Walter Frazier said regretfully.
"He and Benjamin were a match made in heaven, but after they separated, they both tasted the taste of failure. They should not have separated."
If Ewing heard what Frazier said, he would call it bullshit.
Everyone said that his success was inseparable from Benjamin, but he only admitted that his success was inseparable from Louis and New York.
However, Louis has given him everything he can give him, and he has to walk the road ahead on his own.
That's what Louis said to him before leaving.
Louis, who was far away in Los Angeles, also watched the live broadcast of Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals.
His mood changed with the ups and downs of the game.
The Knicks' tenacity is far beyond imagination.
This can only be truly felt when looking at them from a neutral perspective.
Many teams encountered such a desperate situation and may have given up their weapons, but they persevered and kept the suspense until the end.
The Knicks are so strong, like a roly-poly who will stand until death.
So when they really lost, Louis, like the audience, couldn't believe it.
is this real?
It took Louis a few minutes to accept this.
The Knicks' defeat is not unacceptable, because the Heat are obviously a better team than them.
If Wilson and Rodman were still there, the Knicks might have won Game 7.
Hill couldn't adapt.
His performance made New Yorkers doubt whether he could fulfill his talent.
According to Louis' observation, there are three main reasons why Hill played so hard.
His shooting threat is limited, and Louis' coaches will just like Louis do to players who are not a threat from the outside, and will directly let them go. During the series, the Heat did not care about Hill's shooting at all.
Although he has excellent explosive power and a top first step in the league, Hill can often only rush in and then not know what to do.
He lacks the ability to change and likes to go in a straight line. In college, he can cross the defense line with his talent, but this cannot be done in the NBA. Especially a team like the Heat, they will find ways to set up ambushes on the road.
Hill's way of dealing with the ambush was an unstable pull-up jump shot.
As long as he is not in the paint, Hill's breakthrough threat is limited.
He does have the potential to become the core of the ball, but if he wants to become a true core of the ball, his offensive power needs to be greatly strengthened.
Then there is the most basic confrontation ability.
If he wants to have a sense of presence in this level of competition, he still needs 15 pounds of muscle.
As for the details, there are more issues. Although he has been in college for four years, he is still a player who only relies on talent to play. There are many areas that need to be improved.
Of course a player like this will be lost in the Eastern Conference Finals.
Louis can understand Hill's downturn, but New York City can't.
In fact, the day after the series ended, the New York Times published a long article blaming Hill for the loss.
If Louis were to speak, he felt that the reason New York lost was because of Kemp.
As a superstar selected for the second team and first defense, he has nothing to do against Danny Manning.
Hill's pit covered up the fact that Kemp was beaten by Manning.
This was Kemp's first time carrying the flag, and his performance was unsatisfactory.
But the media has already decided to let Hill take the blame. There is nothing they can do about it. Who made his performance too dazzling?
The aftermath of the Knicks' loss will still be felt for some time.
Fans' expectations for the subsequent finals have dropped a lot.
On the West side, the ones who break through are still the Portland Trail Blazers.
They defeated the Clippers in six games.
However, no one is optimistic about their finals match against the Heat.
Because in addition to new aid Olajuwon, the Trail Blazers are also missing Thomas and Sabonis, and the original team is one year older.
On the other hand, the Heat are a combination of old, middle and young people.
The Heat in the public eye are like the Knicks in 1988.
After overthrowing the old dynasty, all that needs to be done is to establish a new dynasty.
And how can the new dynasty be blocked by the Trail Blazers, the ten-thousand-year-old second player?
The Knicks' exit and the Simpson trial becoming increasingly intense have further reduced attention to this year's finals.
Just as the Eastern and Western Conference champions were actively preparing for the Finals, the Lakers announced that Zhao Yuanzheng would no longer serve as the team's head coach.
However, Zhao Yuanzheng's career did not end here.
He will still serve as an assistant coach for the Lakers and will also participate in some behind-the-scenes work.
The selection of the Lakers' new coach has become a hot topic in the media.
Obviously, there is consensus on the answer to this question.
“Los Angeles is calling for the Messiah.” Los Angeles Daily News
What is embarrassing for the Los Angeles media is that it is the New York media who have the inside information.
A Post reporter who is close to Louis broke the news: "Lakers President Leader Lu will also serve as the head coach. This is the first time in two years that he will take charge of the coaching position."
However, the Lakers did not send any news.
Officials neither admit nor deny it.
The Los Angeles media directly ridiculed it, thinking that the New York media was taking advantage of the situation.
As a result, the reporter who broke the news came directly to ask and answer questions.
The reason why the Lakers are silent is because there are still some internal issues that they have not reached a consensus on.
At the same time, the whistleblower also said that leader Lu signed the largest coaching contract in the history of professional sports with the Lakers.
Moreover, the contract lasts for five years.
If true, it means that Louis will be the coach of the Lakers from now until the new century.
The turmoil caused by these news is rare.
Never has a coach sparked so much discussion.
Although Louis only rested for two years, the pattern of the league has changed drastically.
After a season of observation, Louis already has the answer to the limits of the Lakers' current lineup.
David Robinson's ACL expedited the process.
Louie and the Lakers do have internal differences.
The main disagreement is that Louie wants to rebuild in a drastic way, and everyone except Wilson and Ellis can be traded.
West disagreed, because this year the Lakers reached the semifinals and were only one goal away from the conference finals. There is no need to rebuild, just strengthen.
Louis reiterated his assertion that the glass was only half full and exercised his presidential authority to end the discussion.
West didn't follow through.
"If you insist on doing so, I will cooperate with your work, but I hope to remain decent." West said, "For example, David, he paid a huge price for the team, and we cannot trade him at this time."
Louis still wouldn't do it to kill the donkey.
"Don't worry, Jerry, I will wait for him to recover before making the next step."
The internal dissent disappeared, and the Lakers announced the day before the finals that they signed a five-year contract with Louis for a confidential amount.
As soon as the news came out, Los Angeles media had mixed emotions.
This shows that the source of information from the whistleblower in New York is true and reliable.
As a local media, they actually have to wait for the official announcement to confirm the authenticity of the news. This is too passive.
That day, the Lakers held a press conference.
When a Los Angeles reporter asked Louis if he was sure he could lead the Lakers back to the Finals in the new season, he got an even more shocking answer.
"No, we will stay in the West in the short term because I plan to rebuild the lineup. Only Benj, Dell and David are not for sale."
The first updated exciting novel 3w.bookben.0-r-ge must be saved to your favorites.
