The rest is just noise

In order to restrict Jordan, starting from the third quarter, Louis used six methods.

There were endless defense changes in wheel battles, but it was useless. Anyone who came in front of him was destined to die, but the way he died was different.

It's useless to attack from the high post. Jordan has experience in breaking through double attacks and has long been accustomed to the Knicks' attack methods. Now it all depends on his own condition. If the condition is not good, the double attack will be effective. If the condition is good, unless the Knicks can find a way legally Clamp a certain weakness in him - this weakness exists in all men - otherwise there is basically no solution.

In the pocket formation, Jordan used a jump shot/explosion that was so accurate that it made the Knicks coaching staff numb.

In the triangle formation, he first used shooting to break the formation, and then tried to break through with the ball, making the Knicks understand that these tricks were worthless in front of him.

Local traps, this is the only routine that has produced results. However, after Jordan suffered a few losses, he learned how to avoid them. After all, traps can only produce effects within a certain round. If you expect the opponent to fall into the trap for the whole game, then it is not possible. Reality.

Jordan's Law is also a strategy that has produced results.

After about a few minutes, Jordan discovered that the "law" covered all his offensive angles. No matter which direction he attacked, there would be changes. So he was like competing with Wilson in the second quarter, shooting three long shots. Distribute and shoot with the ball in the high post.

Three-pointers and shooting with the ball are both passive skills on the court.

Generally speaking, if the defense can push the opponent to this level, it will be considered successful.

However, Jordan maintained a pure shooting percentage of over 60% throughout the game, turning his passive skills into active skills.

He is ready to kill, and his attacks are unlimited.

Coupled with Barkley's lethality that can defeat thousands of armies, every defensive round of the Knicks is like being hit by Itachi Uchiha's infinite Tsukuyomi, living in a painful and repetitive world of blood.

At the end of the first half of the game, the Knicks trailed by 19 points. Louis gave up and confirmed that no matter how they defended tonight, they could not limit the Blazers' offense, so he replaced Rodman, Ewing, Stevens and other offenses. Players who are sluggish, ineffective or even have side effects.

With Wilson as the core, surrounded by Chris Jackson, Vernon Maxwell, McHale, and Shawn Kemp, they played a small ball formation.

This lineup has produced a certain effect, but the defensive end is destined to be a sinkhole.

Considering the state of Jordan and Barkley today, putting up this kind of undefensive lineup is destined to only make the Knicks lose decently, but cannot reverse the situation.

In the last few minutes, Louis sat on the bench and watched the game.

111 to 99

The Trail Blazers defeated the Knicks by 12 points, defended their home court glory, and tied the score at 2-2. Moreover, the battle at Tianwangshan still had to be held at the Memorial Stadium.

"Write down what I say next. I'm Charles Barkley and I take responsibility for what I say. Damn it! Michael Jordan is the god of fucking basketball. Remember what I say and write it down tomorrow. Don't make any deletions in the newspaper. I have been teammates with him for a season, and of course I know he is very good, but before tonight, I really didn't know he was so good. Michael is a basketball god!"

Barkley knelt down and licked Jordan during a live interview.

He had his own reasons to kneel and lick. Jordan played the entire game, scoring 56 points, 8 rebounds and 11 assists, with a shooting percentage of 64%. Facing the Knicks, who had five members of the All-Defensive Team, he performed like this. It cannot be overstated.

Not only did he dominate the Knicks on the offensive end, 7 of those 11 assists were given to Barkley.

Barkley scored 35 points and 17 rebounds tonight, but 14 of his points were directly related to Jordan.

Jordan not only took off by himself, but also took Barkley with him.

Several people at NBC Sports had their own opinions on the outcome of the game.

Bob Costas believes that Jordan's performance tonight is comparable to everything "The Only Mr." Ralph Sampson did in Game 6 of the 1985 Finals.

His words made the tragedy master suffer from PTSD. As a victim, of course he knew what Costas was talking about.

The 1985 Finals was the one the Lakers and Celtics had the best chance of winning among the four duels in the 1980s.

In the Finals that year, Bird stood up for a friend and got into a fight with someone in a bar and injured his finger. He was in poor condition in the finals. The Lakers were full of fighting spirit and the whole team was deliberately seeking revenge. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar played a super game for the last time in the Finals.

The performance of the center forward.

If Ralph Sampson had been a little softer in Game 6, the Lakers would have won.

As a result, he scored 39 points, 22 rebounds, 6 assists and 11 blocks, leading the Celtics to drag the game to the seventh game. Game 6 was the Lakers' last chance. In the tie-break, all members of the Green Army returned to their best form.

Bloodbath the Lakers.

The tragedy master lost the chance to defeat Bird.

From that finals onwards, Sampson officially established his absolute status as the league's number one center.

Costas compared Jordan tonight with Sampson that day, which made the tragedy artist extremely uncomfortable.

"I think it's hard to compare," Doug Collins said. "MJ has a greater impact on the offensive end, and Ralph, as the biggest individual on the court, affects the outcome of the game on both ends of the floor. In terms of importance,

That being said, I think Ralph's performance was more valuable, as he saved a losing situation and continued the seeds of the dynasty. Michael certainly had the greatest performance I've ever seen, but this game just pitted them against New York

The duel has returned to the starting line, and it is still unknown who will win and who will lose.”

Costas saw the constipated expression on the tragedian's face and couldn't help but smile and asked: "Erwin, what do you think?"

As a witness to the tragedy, it is most appropriate for the tragedy master to review what happened that year.

"I'm not a Knick, so I don't know what they were thinking, but I can tell you what we were thinking after Game 6 in 1985."

The tragedy director sadly recalled what happened in the locker room that year.

"Kareem hurt his ankle in that game and that's why he didn't perform well in Game 7. But at that time, we believed we could win Game 7, but then Ralph's face showed up on us

"Everyone's dream." The tragedy man said painfully, "We knew that Kareem could no longer play like he did in Game 6 in Game 7. I used the story of the 1980 Finals to inspire my teammates, and then Dom (Will

Kings) asked the desperate question, 'What if Ralph plays a game like this again?'"

After saying this, the tragedian smiled helplessly.

"I think you all know what happened after that."

NBC Sports made the right decision by hiring a comedian as a temporary analyst.

The impact of Game 4 between the Knicks and Trail Blazers cannot be overstated.

The first four games were also tied. Last year, not many neutral parties believed that the Lakers could win because the penalties in Game 4 were very bad.

Today, the referee seems to be selfless, at least not the decisive factor affecting the outcome.

The Trail Blazers destroyed the Knicks with the individual abilities of their stars.

The tragedy maker recalled the episode of the 1985 Finals, which made fans excited, and comparing Jordan's Game 4 performance with Sampson's 1985 Game 6 performance became a traffic code for the media the next day.

After the game that night, Louis talked about Tianwang Mountain in an interview two days later.

“I wouldn’t say this is an acceptable loss,” Louis said frankly, “However, if the opponent’s player scores 50 points but has a shooting percentage of 60%, you either admit that the opponent played well, or you admit that your defense is bad.

Our defense is not bad, so the Trail Blazers played a great game and we need to reflect on it. As for the series, I think it's too early to talk about the outcome."

Wilson's speech was roughly the same as Louis's, only Ewing's painting style was different from others.

"Let me put it this way," Ewing said firmly, "If Reggie is not injured, we will win. If Russ (Reggie Williams) is not injured, the series is over."

Ewing used injuries as an excuse for losing, so he would naturally be laughed at.

This is also his usual approach.

If you lose, make excuses if you can. It is impossible to admit defeat.

In fact, he just expressed the Knicks' internal thoughts. When failure happens to them, everyone will easily find excuses for failure. Sometimes, we will do more to defend failure than to strive for success.

More effort.

Louis heard about Ewing's remarks to reporters.

These words will bring him a lot of public pressure. After all, he played badly tonight. The period when he led the murderous press in the second half was the beginning of the Knicks' failure. Now he is taking the lead in speaking harshly. The media outside New York will not let him go.

of.

In the locker room, Louis did not criticize any player.

"The responsibility for tonight's failure lies with the coaching staff." Louis said to everyone, "I made several wrong decisions, which is the reason why we lost the game. But fortunately, the series is not over yet, and we have a good relationship with Porter.

Lan’s chances are the same, just win it in the next game.”

"Everyone, come closer to me."

Louis and the players put their hands together, and they shouted the countdown to three, two, one, then left the locker room and gathered on the bus after shouting slogans.
