The rest is just noise

Chapter six hundred and twentieth reaching the limit

Watching Jordan get tortured on the court is a joy.

Thanks to Rick Pitino, he fed Jordan the ecstasy, causing the kid with the potential to become the best in history to play the game the wrong way.

Full defense, full attack.

After Louis let Ewing return to the court, Jordan's intensity in attacking the penalty area was reduced, but if he couldn't hit the ball, he still had to come inside.

Ewing gave him a big hat for this.

That block made the noise in Memorial Stadium drop several levels.

What is surprising is that Danny Ainge's counterattack was too slow and was actually caught up by Jordan later.

Dan Marley caught the ball and wanted to dunk, but Jordan quickly caught up and blocked it.

“!@¥#……”

The stadium was buzzing with fans praising Jordan like he was one of a kind.

He is indeed unique. In the 1980s, he was like "The Cosby Show" (The Cosby Show 1984-1992)⑴. Before Jordan, the league had great Skywalkers. In comedies, he was like "The Cosby Show" of the same period.

Hospital" (M*A*S*H1972-1983) is equally dominant.

But in the 1980s, "Army Field Hospital" ended, Skywalker self-destructed, Bird and Tragedy were good, but they could not satisfy fans' imagination of the limits of this sport.

Pitino believed that Louis replaced Ewing early in the second quarter because he wanted to use his inside advantage to attack Portland's penalty area.

They couldn't be more wrong. Ewing knew this was a shooter's game.

The Trail Blazers' defense indulged the Knicks' shooters too much. Pitino, like all head coaches who despise outside shooting, put pressure in the high post and in the penalty area as the most important position.

As for the three-point line, they just want to hold the top of the arc to count as success.

Since the start of the game, Ewing has sent out 5 assists. He is willing to be a wedding dress for his teammates, and he found that as long as he gets the ball in the low post, just like Louis said, the Trail Blazers do not regard the Knicks shooters as human beings and decisively attack them.

He, let the shooter go.

Ewing's assist came easily. With just a flick of his hand, Dan Marley easily got the chance to take the shot.

Even if he doesn't have enough confidence in his shooting, he can still hold the ball in that position to attract the Blazers' defense, then set up a pick-and-roll with McHale, and distribute the ball to McHale who is cutting inside.

McHale attracted Drexler who was chasing Ainge. He fell to Ainge who was open and easily caught the ball, leaving him with a big gap.

Anji shot a three-pointer without hesitation.

"Whoa!"

42 to 30

In the frontcourt, Jordan assisted Drexler and responded with a jump shot.

32 to 42

The Blazers suddenly gave up on double-teaming Ewing.

This brought a certain test to Ewing, who had to prove that he could eat up Rick Schmitz.

In the four years since he entered the league, Louis has never refined Ewing's offense. It can be said that his low post singles are still at the college level.

Starting from this season, Ewing's opportunities have increased.

Whenever the time is right, Louis will let him hit him from behind.

Like this shot, his body completely pushed away Schmitz, turned around and rushed to the line, took three big steps and pulled up a fadeaway rabbit jumper.

Schmitz touched his hand.

The referee blew the whistle and Ewing made the shot.

"AndOne!"

Louis said to Jordan, who was confused about whether to flank Ewing: "It's impossible not to help defend. You don't really think that the Dutchman can guard Patrick, right? Although Patrick is a bit strong on the outside, but hard on the inside.

It’s okay for a rookie.”

Ewing looked over unhappily: "Who do you think is strong on the outside but strong on the inside?"

Louis didn't expect this guy's ears to be so good.

Louis immediately defended: "Can't you see that I'm paralyzing them? This way they won't double-team you and let you continue to be one-on-one with him. You can't see my good intentions?"

Ewing had an inexplicable feeling that Louis' so-called "good intentions" were not particularly sincere because he said those words in front of Jordan.

Shouldn't this kind of thing be said quietly in private?

If you say you are showing weakness in person, will they still give you a chance to play singles?

Ewing finally had a good time, but was also distracted by Louis. The more he thought about it, the more he realized that Louis was nothing, and he was so angry that he missed his free throws.

"Did you see that? Fouling is also one of the ways to restrict Patrick. Next time he gets the ball, he will foul directly!"

Louis' kind reminder was rewarded with Jordan's silent response.

"Hey!"

When the Blazers' offense advanced to the frontcourt, Louis spoke up, prompting the subsequent defense.

The person who defended Jordan was Angie.

No matter in terms of height or weight, Jordan can crush Anji, give him the ball, and it is inevitable to beat Anji.

What Drexler was afraid of was Ewing behind Ainge. He was like a ghost, ready to approach Jordan at any time.

Jordan knew there was a problem behind him when he noticed the glider wasn't passing the ball.

Unable to get the ball, he simply removed himself from the position. Ainge, Hornacek, and Marley, who were obviously on the court, were not the Knicks' best defensive perimeters and wings, but they caused huge trouble for the Blazers' tactical operation.

A strong pocket formation, with Ewing as the pillar, blooming in the center, exerting pressure on all sides.

Drexler's ball was distributed to white defender Jerry Hitting (Jerry's private h is PG).

Hitting was unable to solve the dilemma facing the Trail Blazers. He could only wait until Jordan escaped from the defense and then pass the ball.

When Jordan receives the ball from the outside, no matter Anji or anyone else, whenever he sees him receiving the ball from the outside, he steps back a few meters to shoot to prevent the sudden attack.

When Jordan chooses to dribble inward, Ainge, who is opposite him, Marley on the weak side, and Hornacek on the strong side, instantly form a three-man iron bucket formation.

They forced Jordan to pass the ball to Schmitz, the tallest player on the court.

Schmitz doesn't have time to handle the ball and must take action immediately.

Therefore, Ewing anticipated his attack and successfully blocked it.

Beep!

The Blazers were held against a 24-second violation.

Rick Pitino was stunned. He knew that the success rate of implementing a full-court press in the NBA based on strength alone was very low.

Therefore, he will design many defensive traps to assist players in completing defense.

But he never imagined that his defensive trap would have no effect on the Knicks, but the Knicks' defensive trap would be effective on them.

This has to mention the strength of the role players' special attributes, which determines the extent to which they will be ignored on the offensive end.

If role players can guarantee open shots, opponents won't do much against your core players.

Man-to-man is the only appropriate defensive method.

If the shooting of role players is unreliable, for example, like the Trail Blazers, there are a group of players who are okay if they are left on the perimeter, and Jordan himself is a three-pointer. How could Louis not design a large number of "two-pointers" around this point?

The disgusting tactic of "catch the next level and be done with it"?

This is actually the spiritual core of Jordan’s Law.

Whether the implementation of Jordan's Law can be implemented smoothly depends on how much help Jordan's teammates can provide.

However, after the Trail Blazers hired Pitino as their head coach, Louis became pessimistic about the future of this team.

Pitino's approach overdrafted key players such as Jordan.

During the regular season, no one will use their full strength because they all know that the playoffs are the real stage.

If you choose to play the regular season as the playoffs, you will naturally have an advantage. As long as you can increase your intensity in the playoffs, there is no problem in playing any way.:.

But Pitino's approach obviously went too far.

Even Jordan, Louis didn't believe he could last a season.

Jordan, who was driven into a panic, began to try to do some things that seemed outrageous.

He boldly invaded the paint and was caught in the Knicks' pocket.

The New Yorker knocked him to the ground mercilessly.

This is what he coached in the finals.

Sometimes the referee will give a foul, sometimes not.

He scored 11 points in 6 minutes this way, 7 of which came from free throws.

Jordan was like a mass murderer, harvesting the game crazily and single-handedly chasing the point difference to 4 points.

Louis was convinced that no one in the Knicks could compete with him at this intensity except Wilson.

Even Wilson is one level behind.

He's an executioner with his knife already raised, like Hannibal telling someone how he's going to eat someone's body parts.

This moment is bloody.

My soul can't help but tremble.

The dominance of the best basketball player may continue until the end of the first half, and the fans at Memorial Stadium are already excited.

However, they never thought about why Jordan would fight to such an extent for a regular season game.

The last attack before the end of the first half.

Jordan held the ball from outside, stalled for time, and came in in the last few seconds.

Louis originally imagined Jordan might break down after a few months and tell Pitino he couldn't maintain that intensity anymore.

Or, he could get injured before collapsing.

Either outcome is possible.

Louis never thought that Jordan's body would exceed that limit in this game.

He rushed into the Knicks' pocket for the team and just wanted to score.

Jordan's lever action was as beautiful as Bob Dylan singing on the stage. Even Louis was drunk and warned Ewing in his heart: If he scores this goal, I will kill you!

Ewing's block missed Jordan's ball, but he destroyed Jordan's balance.

Jordan's ball flew away from his fingers in a perfect parabola.

"Whoa!"

The fans cheered for this, but their hero failed.

Louis scolded Ewing loudly, and for more than ten seconds, no one in the audience noticed that Jordan was injured.

Until Bill Shinely said, "Oh my gosh, Michael can't seem to get up!"

⑴ If "The Cosby Show" is the Game of Thrones in the 1980s, "The Cosbys" is the "Modern Family" in the 1980s. The difference from the latter is that when "The Cosbys" came out, it was an American sitcom

At its trough, the show redefined the genre and saved NBC from dire straits

The precarious ratings gave them the money to steal the NBA's television broadcast contract from CBS in 1989. One of the biggest differences between the NBA and CBS in the NBC era was their willingness to broadcast live games of civilian teams.

To a large extent, it promotes the less popular teams.
