The rest is just noise

Compared with last season when they were nearly invincible, the Knicks have dropped significantly this season.

Entering the first month of the 1990s, the Knicks lost two of their first seven games.

Many times, they lose not because of lack of strength, but because of inattention.

For this group of people, the regular season is too long and they often feel bored, but every team has the goal of beating the Knicks.

Therefore, if the opponent performs at a super level and the Knicks are not prepared, losing is a normal phenomenon.

At first, Louis would get angry about this, but later he felt that it might not be a good thing if the players were nervous for a long time.

Therefore, some games that should be lost were simply lost, and those who deserved to be scolded were scolded. Those who performed poorly did indeed need to be scolded.

But the Knicks should indeed lose some games to remind themselves...

After all, they have been a top team since 1986 and have entered the championship echelon for five consecutive years. This puts a huge physical and mental burden on the team itself.

On January 23, the league announced the All-Star Weekend roster for the 1989-90 season.

This year, the Knicks only have Lewy, Ewing, and Stockton selected.

McHale, who has been selected as an All-Star for several consecutive years due to his high popularity in New York, was squeezed out of his position this year by super rookie Hank Gathers.

In terms of strength, McHale did not have All-Star strength last season.

He was selected because of the inertia of the fans.

Now there are newcomers to take over, and since McHale's performance is not outstanding and his statistics are average (14+7), it is normal that he is not selected.

With the frequency with which new players emerge, if they bid farewell to the All-Stars this time, they may never make it again.

At the same time, it was also on this day that the two favorites from the Eastern and Western Conferences met in the regular season.

The Lakers are in the highly competitive Western Conference, currently 29 wins and 9 losses. Although the Knicks lost three games at the beginning of the new year, they adjusted later and stabilized their record with a wave of winning streak, ranking in the league with a record of 31 wins and 7 losses.

First.

Great West Forum Arena

Only Forum in the league has as many star fans as the Knicks.

Jack Nicholson, New York renegade Eddie Murphy, Louie's friend Jennifer Beals... there are many acquaintances who are both season ticket holders at the Forum and season ticket holders at Madison Square Garden

By.

For example, Jennifer is a Lakers fan first, and then Benj’s mother’s fan.

Under normal circumstances, she should love her house and be a Knicks fan, but she can't do it because the Knicks' style of play is too rough and doesn't suit her.

"Hey, Coach Lu, here we come, are you ready to get your ass kicked by me?"

After filming "Coming to America," Murphy stopped being funny. Even though he is one of the funniest entertainers of all time, that feeling is gradually disappearing as time goes by.

Louis couldn't be bothered to compete with the comedian who was no longer funny.

Pat Riley came to Louis.

Louis was surprised because Riley's major decision-making errors last season resulted in the Lakers having to face the Knicks with a remnant lineup, and were eventually swept.

He was criticized by the California media for a whole summer, but Jerry Buss and LOGO Man refused to replace him.

He still has one year left on his contract, and as one of the people who has been affected by the negative butterfly effect of time travellers, Riley still has visions for his future.

"I guarantee the results will be completely different this year." Riley challenged Louis.

Louis knows that the Lakers are inspired by the arrival of David Robinson. In terms of playing style, he is far more suitable for the tragic player than Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

"If it was useful, you would have finished class early." After Louis finished speaking, he turned around and went back.

After half a minute, it was time for the players to enter the field.

There are three players from the two teams who can cause a sensation in the forum. One is the tragedy maker. Although he has lost 6 times in a row in the finals, which is only 1 time behind Elgin Baylor, the biggest tragedy in the history of the Lakers, but

He had two rings in hand, and the fans liked him even more. For the fans in the front row, everyone from ordinary middle-class people to upper-class stars were excited to see one of the greatest stars in basketball history passing by them.

The other one is Wilson.

Like Jordan in Portland, Wilson is becoming the second Walter Frazier, the focus of the times, the darling of the media, a superstar wherever New York City's superstars are. He just takes care of himself on the court.

With a slight smile on his face, even if a few people who did not abide by the morality of fans rebelled and shouted "BBBBBBBBBBenj!!!" at him, the sound was loud enough to pierce his eardrums, he could still ignore it.

Like Jordan, Wilson always has a majestic and noble demeanor in front of the public. The reason why celebrities are celebrities is because they have their own extraordinary qualities.

Then, there is David Robinson. After Ewing, there is another "Russell II" who entered the league as the No. 1 pick. People in Los Angeles have been waiting for him for two years. Judging from his performance so far this season, all the rumors surrounding him

The compliment doesn't seem to be an exaggeration.

When Louis started watching the game in his previous life, David Robinson had already retired. He did not play against Jordan in the Finals. At his peak, he gave the impression that his dream was destroyed in the Western Conference Finals. Without Duncan, he might not have been able to win a championship in his life.

to the championship.

Watching Robinson so close tonight felt so different.

As Robinson passed by, the feeling of grandeur was breathtaking, like standing next to a prize-winning thoroughbred horse or a brand new Ferrari Testa Rosa.

There is no more basketball player than David Robinson: He is taller and nobler than Louie expected, with muscles so defined that he looks like a photoshopped model in a Soloflex ad. He walks with his head held high.

He has big breasts, is full of confidence, and has a friendly smile on his face. Even straight men who can't be more straight will admit that he is really handsome and charming.

He was a model. That's the best description Louis could come up with.

Louis has been in the professional basketball circle for 12 years. This is the only time he heard a fan say "Wow" to the players. Everyone made that sound in unison. No one believed what they saw.

.Some people are destined to play basketball. Robinson is such a person.

"Patrick, it doesn't matter if you can't stand it." Louis didn't know whether he was irritating Ewing, or irritating Ewing, or irritating Ewing. "I don't expect you to beat him. He has the best skills I have ever seen."

Best body ever.”

Ewing found out, and now Louis feels better than him when he sees an insider.

"I will prove that that young boy is no match for me!" Ewing said confidently.

Even if you only look at the starting lineup of both sides, it is spectacular enough.

Knicks: Stockton, Miller, Wilson, Sam Bowie, Ewing.

Lakers side: Tragedy, Mark Aguirre, Pippen, A.C. Green, David Robinson.

Not many, just 6 current All-Stars and 2 former/future All-Stars.

Then there are tonight's referees, Dick Bavetta, who makes Louie uncomfortable, second-year referee Nolan Fine, and Eddie F. Rush, who is employed by both college and professional basketball.

Eddie F. Rush).

It is recognized that Bavetta is a stupid referee and is partial to the Lakers.

Rush Louis doesn’t know or recognize him. He only started officiating for professional basketball this year.

Fann is pretty good, a referee who is willing to listen to opinions, willing to communicate, and very smart. He has a promising future.

At the beginning, Bavetta threw the ball.

On the surface, Ewing seems to be the most confident man on the planet, but looking at his downward center of gravity shows how much he values ​​the opening jump ball.

Robinson's explosive power and bullet speed are superior to Ewing, but he does not have the latter's judgment.

Ewing was only a few tenths of a second ahead of Robinson and successfully passed the ball to Stockton.

"Come! Come! Come!" Ewing came to the frontcourt and turned his back to get a position, stuck Robinson's body and shouted, "I can handle him!"

"give him!"

Louie yelled, "Patrick, if you can't handle it, don't blame me for being foul-mouthed."

"Have you ever had a clean mouth?"

Ewing grumbled inwardly, receiving Stockton's pass and pushing in hard.

Even though Robinson has a perfect basketball player's body, he still has a serious shortcoming in lower body strength.

It's been a year since Louis saw Ewing push like a bulldozer until he reached a comfortable position and hooked sideways.

The Lakers trusted Robinson's defense too much.

2 to 0

Ewing clenched his fist and demonstrated to Louis: "What, he is not as good as you said?"

Louis really doesn’t know whether to be happy for Ewing or sad for Robinson?

He looked at the admiral with a look of helplessness: "David, are you too optimistic about this?"

The game returned to the Knicks' defensive end, and Louis tailored the defense for the Lakers.

This line of defense was called 1-mark-4-shrink by Louis.

The tragedy maker at the top of the arc cannot be let go. His three-point shooting rate is now as high as 41%, which is so accurate.

However, except for the tragedy maker, the Lakers' three-point shooting percentage at other points is not worth mentioning.

Others can completely let them shoot three-pointers, so they stick close to the tragedy maker's body and guard against his shooting, while others distance themselves and shrink to the basket.

The offensive solution chosen by the Tragedy Division was to give A.C. Green a high-post jump shot.

Unfortunately, he didn't make the shot.
