The rest is just noise

Kobe's petty quarrel did not attract the Blazers' attention at the beginning, including his arrogant "end" words.

To others, Kobe is nothing. Just a cocky high school kid. What really needs attention is the duel between Wilson and Jordan.

However, probably only Trail Blazers supporters will simply regard this period of games as a duel between the two of them.

After a whole quarter of their duel, Jordan scored 20 points and 4 assists in a single quarter, which can be said to have taken care of everything for the team on the offensive end.

What about Wilson? He didn't score as many points as Jordan, "only" 11 points, which made Jordan's supporters happy.

What does this mean? It means Jordan suppressed Wilson in this duel!

Is it really the truth?

In the first quarter, the Lakers scored an astonishing 41 points in a single quarter, giving them a double-digit lead.

In the second quarter, when Jordan had the advantage, the score ratio between the two teams was 35 to 32, and the Lakers still scored 3 points more than the Trail Blazers.

The answer lies in Wilson's data.

In the second quarter, in addition to 11 points, Wilson also scored 4 rebounds and 7 assists.

Seven assists in a single quarter are rare even in the regular season, let alone the playoffs where the blood is sucking?

Jordan, who kept saying he wanted to narrow the point difference to within 7 points, failed to live up to his words.

At halftime, 76 to 57, the Lakers led the Trail Blazers by 19 points.

Wilson scored 20 points, 7 rebounds and 10 assists at halftime, a near-triple double.

Laimbeer claimed: "Benj has entered 'Larry territory'. Since the birth of basketball, no third player has been able to perform like this."

This is Ranbir's "style".

When he wants to slander you, he's like a prejudiced Tom Heinsohn, who writes "What do you want with your ass?" directly on his face. However, when he wants to lick you, his choice of words

There is no one who can make sentences. In the early years, Prime Minister Guda on Sina.com made all kinds of hot headlines about the black space trade.

"A 19-point lead only shows that we have a huge advantage, but it doesn't mean anything." Wilson is a man with a sense of crisis. "If I were a Trail Blazers player, after experiencing so many failures, I would fight hard in the second half.

Try your best, as long as you recover one point every minute, a 19-point difference is not a big deal."

Finally, Wilson did not forget to use a heart-wrenching way to prepare for danger in times of peace: "Even if I don't consider the second half of the game from the opponent's standpoint, I will not be complacent about the advantage we currently have. Because I have been in the playoffs for consecutive years.

Falling behind by 25 points in the middle of two games and then completing a comeback. If I can do it, it means my opponent can also do it, and if I remember correctly, the team that was reversed is our opponent tonight."

Finally, Wilson said without hesitation: "They should really want to experience such a reversal."

Since 1993, Benjamin Wilson has been Oregon's most hated sports star.

Today, his words and deeds have only made this position stronger.

For the Trail Blazers, Pat Riley has had enough of the unhelpful nonsense.

"We haven't given up yet, and the game isn't over yet," Riley said. "Don't question, believe first. If you don't believe in us, then you don't deserve to be a Trail Blazers fan."

Riley's words don't sound good because the Trail Blazers so far have not given fans the confidence to "don't question, believe first."

However, no matter how unpleasant Riley's words are, fans will not oppose him at this time.

Because the game is not over yet, the Trail Blazers still have a chance to save their season.

In the locker room, Louis arranged it as usual.

"We have a 19-point lead, which means we can play more steadily." Louis praised Kobe, "Bean's performance is worth learning from. Although he is the youngest player on the court, he has not slumped due to lack of experience.

, On the contrary, he showed amazing adjustment ability like a mature veteran."

Louis praised Kobe as a flower.

Dell Ellis really hopes that Coach Lu can restrain his love for Kobe. This bastard high school student is already narcissistic and arrogant enough. If he praises him a few more words, his tail will be raised to the sky?

However, isn't Kobe's performance worthy of praise?

As a rookie, he did not perform well on the offensive end in the first quarter. After coming out in the second quarter, the Trail Blazers planned to let him go and hoped that he would hit the ball as frequently as he did in the first quarter.

As a result, Kobe's performance completely exceeded the Blazers' expectations, scoring 10 points in the second quarter with an 80% shooting rate.

Benj was able to provide 8 assists in a single quarter, and Kobe played a major role.

It was rare to be praised like this, and Kobe was a little embarrassed.

This talented young man who never knew how to communicate with others actually became humble: "I just did some of my job."

Liu Yuqing rolled her eyes: "So, this is the first time in your rookie season that you have done your job well."

Kobe was dissatisfied.

Is there something wrong with this person? Please be humble, why are you still going online?

Louis did not let the two people quarrel and said: "Okay, time is running out, let's talk about how to play in the second half."

"Based on what I have known about Coach Riley for many years, it is difficult for him to make tactical changes when the game is like this."

So what will he do?

It's very simple, dogs will jump over the wall when they are anxious.

Just like Louie did in Game 5 of the 1988 Eastern Conference Finals and Game 6 of the 1993 Finals.

If he wants to change the game, Riley must exhaust his energy and use all his strength to make the players believe that this is a game they cannot afford to lose, thereby arousing their animal nature and bringing the intensity of the game to another level.

.

If not, the Blazers' Riley era will come to an end in a humiliating defeat.

If the game is really going like this, then the "most promising year" and Riley's "last dance" recently promoted by the Trail Blazers team are both a joke.

When Louis previewed what Riley might do and the changes the Blazers might make in the second half, Barkley said loudly: "It's definitely going to happen! I know that bastard! In order to win, what will he do?"

Anything can be done!”

Barros originally thought that the intensity of the first half was strong enough, but he didn't expect that it was not the biggest.

"What do we do?" he asked.

"Match their strength." Louis replied, "At the same time, don't forget our own playing style, use them as a stumbling block and step on them hard!"

Louis calmed the players' minds, and then said to Barkley: "Chuck, don't forget how you were traded to the Clippers like garbage, let alone why you joined us."

Barkley responded loudly: "I'm here to prove myself, I'm here to win the championship!"

At this time, Louis still did not forget to provoke, "Coach Riley said you always like to shout empty slogans, it's time to prove yourself!"

"Fuck him! He is the one who likes to shout slogans!" Barkley yelled, "I will definitely make them fucking regret it!"

There was a bellicose atmosphere in the Lakers' locker room, and Louis believed they were ready.

What happened in the Trail Blazers locker room was very different from what Louis predicted.

Over the years, Riley has been studying the 93 Knicks.

After 1993, the Knicks officially released a three-hour documentary about their championship season.

The highlight is what happened in the Knicks locker room at the end of the first half of Game 6 of the 1993 Finals.

Over the years, Riley has tried to capture that thrilling power.

Tonight, Riley broke a lot of things in the locker room, screamed and told the players about the pain of losing consecutive games, and he wanted to know if he was the only one who still wanted to win.

Fortunately, Jordan responded.

"I don't want to lose anymore." Jordan gritted his teeth and said, "I've had enough!!!"

The Blazers players started cheering each other on.

Just as Louis predicted, this team is about to show its most ferocious side.
