The rest is just noise

For some, the outcome of this game was not good.

The Bulls fans at the scene had mixed emotions.

On the one hand, they lost too badly and couldn't live up to their reputation. The Bulls themselves advertised themselves as the Knicks' mortal enemies, but the Knicks didn't see it that way.

Not only do they not see it that way, but the attitudes they display sometimes are also unacceptable.

For example, if a reporter called the bull their archenemy in front of Louis, Louis would never agree. Not only would he not agree, he would express it in an uncomfortable manner.

What kind of thing is a bull? I don’t know.

This kind of person needs to be beaten to hurt him before he can recognize you.

The Bulls didn't do it tonight.

Normally, in this situation, Chicago people's attitude towards the Knicks should be overwhelming hatred. But this is not the case, because the Knicks have Benjamin Wilson on the team.

The best player Chicago has produced since Isiah Thomas.

Wilson showed no mercy towards his hometown team and scored a team-high 46 points.

Now, with averages of 25 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists per game, Wilson has become a player that cannot be ignored.

That night, Wilson was interviewed by the Chicago Tribune and asked how he balances his relationship with other teammates.

Wilson smiled and said: "There is no need for balance, everyone has his own personality, we just need to win together."

"So, you don't have any contact with each other in private?"

Wilson said something very controversial: "No, we all play our own games."

This is actually easy to understand. We work together as one and rarely interact with each other in life.

But the media couldn't understand it, just as they had close contacts with their colleagues who had cadavers in their lives. The relationship between Ewing and Wilson triggered heated discussions among the outside world.

Ewing was highly praised before he entered the industry. He had the highest salary in the league in his rookie season. It only took a few years to prove that he was not as strong as the scouts and heckled reporters.

Salary became one of his controversies.

Wilson after Ewing is younger and entered the draft after his freshman season. He is different from Ewing.

It seems that the commercial value is higher, but the annual salary is reduced to 1 million a year.

However, his rookie contract lasts for four years, while Ewing's rookie contract lasts for 10 years. Although Ewing still has the highest salary in the league, judging from the annual increase in the salary cap, someone will get a higher salary within three years.

His more annual salary.

In the long run, this is detrimental to Ewing.

But people only care about the present, so Ewing's salary as the league's highest salary, which is not in line with his strength, has become the focus of some people's criticism.

Louis did not explain much on the matter.

The Knicks' last game in February was against the Los Angeles Lakers.

A team that is clearly rebuilding but has a top-three record in the Western Conference.

Magic Johnson has been having a tough time lately.

Looking around, the only old acquaintance on the team is the unreasonable Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

Originally there was Dennis Johnson, who at least had a good friend. Unexpectedly, Jerry West was so ruthless that he sent his only good friend on the team to Chicago on the trade deadline in exchange for a few bad guys.

Split dates.

Moreover, this deal only deals with Dennis Johnson and Gilmore's contracts in the long run.

They didn't get anything good back from the Bulls.

After all, Krause is not a fool. Since the Lakers don't want to let it go, he can come and collect the scraps, and then let the Lakers collect some of the scraps.

After the marijuana seeds were traded, the magician went into berserk mode.

In the first game after the All-Star break, they defeated their city brothers, the Clippers.

37 points + 18 rebounds + 15 assists. If he hadn't seen his shooting percentage above 50%, Louis would have suspected that this guy was taken over by Westbrook.

Coming to the forum after a long absence, Louis felt relaxed.

After he traveled through time, he changed the landscape of the 1980s. Many teams have changed beyond recognition. Currently, there are four players who have been most affected: Magic, Bird, Sampson, and Jordan.

He was originally the number one point guard in history. Of course, he is also the number one point guard in history now. But if Curry is not influenced by Louis in the future, with his three championships, two consecutive MVPs and the influence of starting the small ball era, fans will

The confidence to challenge the magician is definitely much higher.

Yes, Curry does not have an FMVP, but Magic currently does not have an MVP either.

The position of the number one point guard in history is no longer stable, and the reputation of the Tragedian is even greater than that of the Magician outside of California.

Just think about how serious the consequences of this are if you think about the reputations of Liubu Lang and Duo who surrendered to the enemy than the Emperor and the God of Death.

Bird was originally the number one small forward in history before James. Now, with 5 championships, 4 FMVPs, and 4 MVPs in hand, the GOAT momentum has long been called. There are still some older generation superstars who do not recognize Bird's historical status, but if

If he wins another championship, then there will be no suspense about this title.

As for Sampson, he was a shooting star in the 1980s. Before Louis traveled through time, he didn't even know his name. Now he is one of the top 20 superstars in history, the second player in the league. He eats, sleeps, and plays sky hooks, and is inferior to other insiders in the league.

A dimensional strike-like advantage.

Jordan went to the Trail Blazers, and Pippen became Drexler. The impact of these two things together is already difficult to predict.

Louis can't imagine what the NBA will be like in the 1990s.

In a few years, Benjamin Wilson might be added to this list, but right now he's not that good, so let's just rest on the sidelines for now.

There are still many celebrities in the forum.

Aside from Jack Nicholson, the Lakers' other star fans aren't looking forward to the championship that much.

They just want the game to be played well, or simply sit in the forum and watch the game.

Jerry Bass successfully popularized the forum. As long as the magician is still there, the show time is still there, and other people are not that important.

Before the show started, the magician came to Louis specifically to say hello.

Louis could tell that he was in a bad mood. Even though he still had a warm smile on his face, the game no longer made him feel happy.

The Lakers are Magic, George Gervin, Pippen, Derek McKay, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

There are two rookies in this lineup, and they are not yet very strong in combat.

Magic was actually able to lead this Lakers to second place in the Western Conference and fifth place in the league.

It has to be said that the upper limit of this kind of non-brush type core holding the ball and leading the team is very high.

After the game started, Louis focused on Pippen.

Next to Jordan, he is Drexler who is super defensive and slightly weakened in other aspects.

If you want to play well next to Magic, you have to find a way to play as fast as Wilkins and Byron Scott.

Will Pippen still develop into the form that Louis remembers?

After a few rounds, Louis discovered that he had underestimated Pippen's plasticity, or that his impression of Magic, a ball-carrying core who was useless to teammates, was too stereotyped.

The magician of this period was also very different from the one Louis was familiar with.

Before traveling through time, Louis had only watched a few games between Magic and the Bulls in the 1991 Finals. At that time, the opponent gave him the impression that he was like Jokic who liked to work in the low post.

For a defender, he is too big.

As long as he is in the low post, he can eat up any opponent alive. This offensive threat is his way of attracting double-teams. As long as the opponent double-teams him, he will pass the ball out with mysterious techniques and highly entertaining. And

, played like this in almost every round.

His performance is related to the state of the Lakers.

Just like the Nuggets' high reliance on Jokic.

However, the version Louis sees now is a magician who has gone through all the routes but is still at a loss.

In order to defeat the Celtics, Magic has made various attempts over the past four years.

Just to improve my long-range shot, I continued to practice hard for four years.

The scary thing is that he now takes more three-pointers and makes more three-pointers per game than his old rival Bird.

But the Lakers can’t win;

He also tried to give up some of the ball rights and strengthen his off-ball organizational skills, but this only increased Wilkins' ambitions, which lasted three years, eventually leading to a break between him and Wilkins.

The price is so high, the Lakers still can't win;

Then he decided to use his own strength to break the situation.

Magic became an unsolvable low-post offensive machine, developing small hooks, big hooks, turning jump hooks, running hooks, and turn-over jump shots from the left and right wings. As a result, he averaged points per game in the 1987 Finals.

Ranked first among both teams.

But this is the most completely wrong line.

The Lakers were happily sent away by the Celtics 4-1.

The Lakers just can't win.

The name "Tragedian" is no longer a mockery of Magic's poor performance in the 1984 Finals, but a sarcastic expression of regret for his tragic career that has never made it past Boston.

Today, Magic is extremely serious. He is basically the strongest point guard Louis has ever seen.

It's like a peak James who is two levels behind in terms of physical fitness, slightly weaker in scoring ability, stronger in organizational ability, and two levels better in shooting touch.

He unrivaled a 40+ triple-double and defeated the Knicks.

He won tonight and had a smile on his face, but so what? The Lakers still couldn't win.
