The rest is just noise

Jordan tried to pay attention and tried to turn his back and rush into the basket for a dunk.

He was playing so hard that the Knicks prohibited him from doing anything with the ball.

Only dunking could vent his anger, and he wanted to tear the rim off.

When he turns around, you can see the hidden technical content in it. People who are not absolutely confident in their own skills cannot do this action.

Jordan successfully shook off Rodman, and the basket was right in front of his eyes. To complete the dunk, he only needed three steps: the first step forward, then taking off, and finally the dunk.

Wilson suddenly flew out from the weak side. His long arms reached the height of the basket first and swung downwards, possibly to block the shot, but did not touch the ball.

Jordan escaped the block.

Judging from the results, it was not completely avoided.

Wilson's hand failed to block the shot and slapped him in the face.

That was a loud "pop"!

The moment he landed, Jordan lost his mind and swung his hand towards Wilson's face. It was hard to tell whether it was a slap or simply hitting Wilson's cheek with his hand.

Wilson took Jordan's hands away, and the two were face to face, mouth to mouth, and exchanged obscenities.

Seeing this scene, Louis scratched his head helplessly.

The way the Blazers respond to provocations or attacks is very immature.

They do dare to fight back, but what will they do after they fight back? They don't know.

The people of the Knicks, after finishing the work, it is as if they have turned over the past. They no longer think about the conflict just now and just play when it is time to play.

The Blazers' mentality is close to collapse.

The conflict between Jordan and Wilson occurred at the end of the third quarter.

The result of this conflict ended with Wilson being called for a technical foul and ejected from the game.

At this point, expelling Wilson no longer affects the overall situation.

After the game, Wilson's remaining statistics in the game were 10 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists.

The data is general and not indispensable.

Because when the Knicks are attacking, Wilson is often guarded by Jordan. He is the player Jordan hates most. Once Jordan wants to guard someone, he can often succeed. Even with the cover of the Knicks' N.UCLA system, Wilson will be guarded by him.

It was very uncomfortable.

Moreover, Louis did not specifically design tactics for Wilson to challenge Jordan in large numbers.

He likes to see Wilson helpless under Jordan's defense, which helps him grow.

Likewise, Jordan didn't perform well tonight.

Under the restrictions of Jordan's rules, after three quarters, he only scored 15 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists.

The score on the court was 80 to 59.

The 21-point gap entered the fourth quarter, and the Blazers' hope of winning became smaller and smaller.

In the fourth quarter, the Knicks' first offense.

The ball was given to Ewing, and the Trail Blazers gave up double-teaming and allowed James Edwards to defend alone.

At this time, Ewing, who had already scored 18 points, 16 rebounds and 8 assists, was working hard for his second triple-double in the Finals.

When the Trail Blazers don't double attack, he plays alone.

Under Louis, he usually doesn't have many singles opportunities, so he relies on the Trail Blazers to give him opportunities.

Ewing took a step forward with the ball, stopped, collected the ball and lifted it up. It was not a realistic fake move, and it shocked his opponent. Edwards jumped up, but Ewing dodged it. He picked up the ball with his left hand and hit it.

Board hit.

"Although the steps are very formulaic, it is enough to beat an inside line like Edwards." Louis stretched out his hand, waiting for Ewing to give him a high-five.

Ewing got excited and slapped Louis' hand hard.

"Yeah!" Louis' hand hurt from being slapped, "Even if you are going to win FMVP, don't be so excited!"

Zhao Yuanzheng reminded Louis: "Patrick scored 20 points."

"Another 20+15?" Louis asked unexpectedly.

"There are also 8 assists and 5 blocks." Zhao Yuanzheng sighed, "What a dominant performance. Even Bill Russell back then was nothing more than this!"

Louis couldn't bear to hear others bragging about Ewing: "Humph, it sounds like you have seen Russell play!"

"I haven't watched it, but there is someone on our team who has actually played against Russell." Zhao Yuanzheng glanced at Phil Jackson secretly.

"Oh, what did Phil say?"

"He said Patrick was ten times stronger than Russell."

"Just listen to him!" Louis couldn't bear to hear such words anymore, "Where is that guy?"

At this time, Ewing slapped Drexler's layup.

Like a ferocious beast, he chased the ball and flew out.

"Fuck!"

Ewing flew to recover the ball, and Stockton passed it to Rodman who was rushing down.

Rodman went on a fast break and dunked, scoring 12 points.

"Are you okay?" Louis asked.

Ewing shouted excitedly: "It won't matter if I fall ten more times!"

"What is Patrick's current average per game?" Louis really feels that the FMVP is none other than Ewing.

Zhao Yuanzheng said directly: "Excluding this game, Patrick averaged 18 points, 16 rebounds, 5 assists and 4 blocks in the first three games of the finals."

"It's interesting. I'm not qualified to compare with Russell, but I can still compare with another center named Bill who won the FMVP."

Whether the Blazers are too weak inside or Ewing is too strong, Louis has reservations about this question.

But Ewing was truly dominant tonight.

This may be the first time in the three years since he has been in the industry that he has fulfilled people's expectations of him in the playoffs.

Although Louis despises Ewing verbally, in his heart, if Bill Russell came to the modern era, he would not play better than the current Ewing.

Times are different and there is no way to compare, but Ewing, as a center modeled after Russell, played the best game he can at this stage.

He locked the restricted area by himself.

Jordan's Law made it difficult for Jordan to get close to the basket, and the glider desperately made long-distance mid-range shots.

The only thing left for the Blazers is the speed of returning to defense.

They haven't given up yet, so they get back on defense very quickly.

At this time, it was 84 to 59, a difference of 25 points between the two sides.

Drexler's strike, and its subsequent impact, may be more than a statistical missed shot.

The Trail Blazers retreated quickly, and Stockton led the fast break with the ball.

Ewing follows up with a run down the middle.

Stockton stood on the outside line, and a second later, Ewing came directly from the top of the key and raised his hand to ask for the ball.

There is no need to doubt Stockton's passing.

When the ball was given to Ewing, he didn't need to adjust. He stepped on the paint area and took off with all his strength, like a gorilla jumping with all his strength. Larry Nance tried to stop him.

Ewing's long arm swung the ball and completely suppressed his body, and the most humiliating dunk Nance had ever encountered in his career fell on his head.

Boom!

Joe Crawford's icing on the cake whistle gave Ewing's perfect dunk time to celebrate and roar.

"It's over." At that moment, Louis decided that the outcome was decided.

Ewing clenched his fists and shouted to the sky.

In an instant, the Memorial Stadium turned into a zoo, with a gorilla screaming wildly on the court.

When Ewing hit the extra free throw, Adelman requested a timeout.

With less than eight minutes left, the Knicks trailed by 28 points.

In this era when no one shoots three-pointers very often, being behind by 28 points before the fourth quarter is full is like being sentenced to death in eight minutes.

Regardless of whether the Blazers change their main players or not, Louis will have to change.

He left Ewing on the court to achieve a triple-double, and the other four players were Hornacek, Stevens, Rodman, and Song Tao.

The Blazers replaced half of their main force.

While Jordan was still on the court, Louis specifically told Stevens to give Jordan some extra care and informed Ewing: "If he wants to come to the penalty area to score, I don't care whether the ball goes in or not, knocking him down is still the only indicator."

Ewing and Jordan are very good friends in private. Now that they have beaten the Trail Blazers so badly and the victory or defeat has been decided, they feel sad after hearing what Louis said.

"is this necessary?"

"Do you think my expression looks like I'm discussing with you?"

"It's not like that."

"Then stop talking nonsense. If he missed a layup once, I'll fucking kill you!" Louis threatened like a villain.

This was also Louis' most controversial decision in the 1988 Finals.

In meaningless garbage time, the Blazers let Jordan play a little longer because they wanted him to rack up good statistics.

But Louis didn't give him a chance to brush up his data.

Stevens defended closely regardless of fouls, and Ewing also blocked shots with heavy hands regardless of fouls.

They played like a stalemate compared to the main game, and allowing Jordan to score would allow the Blazers to take the lead.

In the play that most angered the fans at the scene, Ewing blocked the road and Jordan slipped. Stevens came from the wing, grabbed Jordan from the waist and threw him to the outside, knocking him three or four meters away.

"OMG!!!"

"That was the biggest boo I've ever heard!"

“Portlanders hate the Knicks!”

"Stephens' move is too big!"

"He's still provoking MJ!"

After Stevens hugged and threw Jordan, he yelled fiercely: "You don't even think about scoring in the penalty area!"

"This is a group of thugs!" Memorial Stadium announcer Bill Shenelli said sadly, "They are not going to give their opponents any respect!"

It's obviously garbage time, everyone is brushing up data, but Jordan is still being tortured.

Phil Jackson really wants to know what Louis is doing this for.

"Coach Lu, do you and MJ have any personal grudges?"

"Actually, we had a good personal relationship before the finals started." Louis laughed dryly, "Now, well, you know."

Jackson asked in confusion: "Then what is your purpose of doing this?"

"If you must find a purpose"

At that moment, Louis's expression was terrifying, and Jackson saw a perverted smile: "I'm just enjoying the feeling of stepping on this arrogant guy."

His unabashed pride and abhorrent intention to take pleasure in others' suffering convinced Jackson.

He's really enjoying this.

"Don't you think MJ just lacks a suitable coach and 20 pounds of muscle?" Jackson asked, "Once he has these, he will become our biggest trouble."

Louis said: "I know, and I know better, he will get this."

Now, Jackson didn't understand even more. He knew that Jordan would be terrible in the future, but why did he offend him so much?

He doesn't understand, just like Louis himself doesn't know why he tortures Jordan so much and forces him to become stronger.

If you have to say why, there may be only one answer.

He hopes to defeat the strongest Jordan;

He hopes that Jordan in the future will be ten times as powerful as he is today. He hopes that one day, the world will understand how strong Jordan is, and what kind of team he controls by suppressing Jordan;

He wants everyone who looks like he's going to dominate the league to fall to his knees;

He hopes to dominate these. If there is a reason why he does this, then this is the answer.

He likes to destroy these strongest individuals, enjoy the process of ravaging them, and the result of their ultimate failure. There will be nothing more interesting than this.

Five minutes before the end, the Trail Blazers replaced Jordan.

Afterwards, Louis substituted players at will, and did not replace Ewing until he scored a Duncan-like quadruple-double of 24+20+10+7.

The quality of the Trail Blazers' substitutes is not at the same level as the Knicks', so the point difference is still increasing.

Fans left in large numbers because there was no point in staying here.

Half a minute before the end, Louis asked Dale Ellis, who was on the active list but never played, to take off his playing uniform.

"I always feel that it's unfair to you not to let you experience the atmosphere of the finals."

Louis patted Ellis on the shoulder.

"Go ahead, without you, we wouldn't be able to get here."

In this way, all 13 players on the Knicks' active roster will appear tonight.

20 seconds before the end, Dale Ellis used his most familiar high-post dynamic offensive tactics and hit his first three-pointer in the Finals.

With 19 seconds left, the Blazers gave up the offense.

54321.

Darrell Garretson blew the final whistle, 119 to 81. The Knicks defeated the Trail Blazers with a huge score, swept their opponents 4-0 on the road, and won the third championship in team history.

There were insults and popcorn flying in the air and all kinds of food that Louis couldn't name.

The hateful boos made Louis even unable to hear the cheers of the team members.

This is what you should get from winning the championship on the road.

They won and that's all that matters.

The rest is just noise.
