The rest is just noise

Louis did it for his own good by not letting Wilson continue to look for Jordan with the ball.

His offense could make Bird lose his temper, but he couldn't beat Jordan because Jordan's defense was too strong. And strong defense is only one of the advantages. If the defense is strong and the confrontation has an overwhelming advantage, it will be too easy to fight.

They are originally in the same position. If they were allowed to continue to play against each other, Jordan could beat Wilson. Knowing this result, Louis would of course stop them from continuing to play against each other.

Wilson became honest as soon as Louis sprayed him.

However, his mother's fan, Jennifer Beals, openly expressed dissatisfaction: "Why don't you let Benj fight that guy one-on-one."

Louis turned around and explained: "I am the one who has been shielding him from the wind and rain. You don't understand the game, so don't express your opinions randomly."

Jennifer said something philosophical: "You can protect him from the wind and rain, but you can also keep him from seeing the sun!"

The person who protects you from the wind and rain can also keep you from seeing the sun. This is a good saying, but it does not apply to now.

When it was time to see the light of day, Louis would ask Wilson to see him.

You can't tell your child, "Go and face the strong wind, Hasaki!" when there's a Category 15 typhoon blowing outside, right? Then people may suspect that the child is not your biological child.

Except for not letting Wilson challenge Jordan for a duel, the Knicks were basically normal.

Instead of a one-on-one challenge, Wilson was liberated.

His offense with the ball is limited by the thickness of his body, and his movements will deform when encountering confrontations. His offense without the ball is not so troublesome.

He had a fierce battle with Bird in a series, and the opponent's off-ball movements inspired him a lot.

The Knicks' N.UCLA system is more mature than the Celtics' offensive system.

Wilson started running from the left, received the screen, turned around, and the space came out.

Stockton was not targeted like when he played the Celtics. When he saw an opportunity, he passed the ball and it was done.

What the Knicks' opponents can't understand is how their tactical understanding came about.

Although they didn't communicate much, they knew how to run between each other.

Wilson missed an open three-pointer.

Since the start of the game, all the Knicks' shot options have been three-pointers.

The long rebound that popped out allowed Ewing to predict his position.

The Knicks grabbed the offensive rebound and got another offensive opportunity with 24 seconds.

Larry Nance playing center is looking more and more like a suicidal move.

This is not the small ball era. If a power forward with superior athletic ability is allowed to occupy the center position, big trouble will occur if things go wrong.

Ewing knew very well how much stage the Blazers gave him by doing this, so he was on full fire from the beginning. The two three-pointers made by the Knicks came from his assists.

Now he grabbed the offensive rebound and directly held the ball to find Nance to play the body ball.

How did he get blown away by Sampson in the Eastern Conference Finals? How can he get back out now?

Ewing knocked down Nance, dunked and scored, and it was a 2+1.

8 to 4

The whistler was Joe Crawford.

Adelman had a great opinion of him: "He almost used his elbow as a weapon. Isn't this an offensive foul? Even if this is MSG, there is no need to be so biased, right?!!"

Crawford said coldly: "Go back to your place!"

"This is definitely an offensive foul. Do you know how to do this?"

Adelman wants to imitate the future king of the United States and play with extreme pressure.

The result was a mess. Crawford, who would be so angry at someone in the audience for laughing too loudly that he would eject him from the game, gave Adelman a technical foul.

"What the fuck@?..."

"What's going on?" Louis didn't pay attention, and he didn't expect that there was an unexpected surprise from the Trail Blazers.

Adelman received a solid technical foul. If the assistant coach hadn't stopped him, he might have beaten the referee in front of Louis, paying tribute to Louis' one-punch knockout of the referee.

The Knicks got a 2+1 inexplicably.

As a result, Ewing's two free throws now became four, and he still has the ball after the free throws.

"If I were a Knicks fan," Hubie Brown quipped, "I'd say out loud, thank you, Rick."

As a result, the fans really believed in Brown's evil deeds.

"Thank you, Rick!"

"Thank you!"

“Thank you very, very much!”

Although their thanks were not in any formation and sounded messy, the words "thank you" could still be vaguely heard.

Regardless of whether Adelman was moved or not, Louis was moved anyway.

Of the four free throws, Ewing missed two.

"Hey, you can lose this. Your opponent is a very thin power forward. Don't you fucking tell me that you were too strong during the confrontation. This excuse won't work today. You've shown your true colors.

Come on!" Louis complained crazily, "If I were the coach of the Trail Blazers, you would stop trying to attack, because as long as you get the ball, I will let the players foul you, and your free throw percentage will definitely be lower than your field goal percentage!"

Ewing was used to being criticized by Louis, and over time, he developed a pair of ears that only listen to good things.

Then the Knicks attacked, and Stockton felt he had a good chance, so he made a quick stop and shot.

The opportunity was great, so I didn’t take it.

In the Trail Blazers' offense, someone not named Jordan finally got a role.

Drexler, who was responsible for becoming the first breaking point, dribbled the ball and tried to break through Cooper's defense from the left. He was very explosive, but his center of gravity was too high.

How Cooper guarded against Dr. J back then, he will guard against him now.

Where Glider is worse than Dr. J is his sense of space when facing defenses to find the basket, but what he is good about is his sense of the ball.

He's very good at finding the basket when he loses control.

Even if Cooper's defense is not out of position the whole time, Drexler can still take the shot against the defense.

That shot was truly extraordinary.

Drexler's release point was completely behind Cooper.

Cooper never thought that the glider would score in that way.

6 to 10

It seems that Adelman's technical foul has no obvious impact on the Trail Blazers.

"It's all Patrick's fault! If he had made all four free throws, he wouldn't have had so many problems!"

Louie complained as Ewing ran past him.

His complaint is certainly no coincidence.

His biggest dream is to be a person who has something to say to his face. But in his previous life, it was not easy to do this, so when the XJ team ended the shutdown caused by the new crown in 2020, in order to save money, he actually started from

When they found a semi-professional player on the street who had been playing wildball in China all year round as their small foreign aid, his thought at the time was, should he make a fuss or not? But he had no objection. Because he knew that a bad word would cost him his job. So.

After he traveled through time, he vowed that if he gained enough status, he would speak out. So he deliberately said those words when Ewing ran past him. In fact, he just wanted to disgust Ewing, not that much.

Many causes and consequences.

Ewing must have heard it.

What would happen if he heard it? I don’t know, maybe not much, but the important thing is that he heard it, Louis conveyed his feelings, how uncomfortable it was to hold it back.

"Portland's physical talent is really extraordinary."

Zhao Yuanzheng said with emotion.

"But they rely too much on this." Louis smiled, "This is why they are destined to lose to us."

What is the strength of the Trail Blazers? Their strength is the quality of wings that is second to none in the league.

Jordan, Glider and backup Xavier McDaniel.

Adelman is not yet the master who will sell Princeton everywhere in the future. With his current ability, he will only let his players play blindly.

Therefore, these guys will try their best to use their physical talents to attack the basket.

However, this style of play, this offensive logic that relies on size and athletic ability to impact the opponent, requires space.

Their attacking basket space is actually very poor. Among the eight players in the rotation, there is no shooter who can truly control the basket. The final result is that the Trail Blazers are fourth in the league in three-point attempts per 100 possessions and have the league's lowest three-point shooting percentage.

second last.

Therefore, the Trail Blazers are not the kind of rough offensive team where shooters spread out and several ball holders break through/pick-and-roll wildly. The reason why they have such a strong impact on the penalty area is that the size and size of Jordan + Glider + Nance and the wing group

His athletic ability allows few players in the league to match up with him, which is the basic offensive plan of the Blazers.

However, the Knicks have Ewing, which is a huge advantage that pierces the Blazers' lungs.

Secondly, they prepared the Jordan Law for Jordan, although it has not been used yet; the glider is very strong, but not an unsolvable offensive player; the rest of the others are Rodman, Stevens and Hornese in the Knicks.

In front of us, it really doesn't matter.

Judging from the roster alone, the Knicks have the ability to crush the Blazers' fundamentals.

When size is not an advantage, it is very difficult to fight hard.

At this time, the accuracy of the shot will determine success or failure.

As for shooting...

If Louis were to be more modest, if the Knicks and Trail Blazers were to shoot each other, the Knicks would probably win by 30 points. Moreover, this would be when the Trail Blazers would guard their shots tightly. The reality is that Adelman

I don’t know who poured water into his head. What he did was to give the Knicks’ shooters open spots and test the Knicks’ shooters just like the Knicks tested the Trail Blazers’ shooters.

Anyway, Louis felt a little dizzy after watching it.

He suddenly felt that the Jordan Rules they had carefully prepared might not be useful.

32 to 20 in the first quarter.

Jordan scored 12 points, and the Trail Blazers trailed the Knicks by 12 points.

An eye-catching statistic, the Trail Blazers were 0-for-4 on long-distance long-distance shots.

The Knicks made 5 of 7 shots.

Realizing that he had made a big mistake, Adelman loudly told the players: "From now on, don't give them open shots. We must take advantage of our athletic ability, take the initiative to rotate, don't be afraid of mismatched defense, believe in yourself, believe in

My teammates around me, think about what we have sacrificed to get here!"

Louie doesn't need long speeches to motivate his players.

He made a point: "Since they can't make a shot, we have to let them shoot from the outside. The defense can be bolder. As long as they control the penalty area, they have no chance of winning."

Unless Jordan and his teammates scored 100 points by fighting hard, Louis really can't imagine how they could lose.
