The rest is just noise
Chapter 865 We are great, you can't
Stevens versus Jordan, Chris Jackson versus Blue Edwards, Wilson versus Clifford Robinson, Rodman versus Barkley, Ewing versus Mason.
It can be seen that the Trail Blazers' lineup has actually surpassed the Knicks.
They have an out-and-out five-wing lineup, and Riley's idea that should have been realized in the future has become a reality thanks to the Blazers' unique lineup.
CJ and Wilson are actually misaligned. One of them cannot keep up with the confrontation, and the other has an injury in his foot, making it difficult for the defense to do its best. This is the Blazers' opportunity.
Jordan called a pick-and-roll on the offensive end, and Robinson ran over.
Louie yelled: "Don't switch, Alex, stick to Mickey!"
Because if the defense is switched, Wilson's current footsteps may not be able to do anything in front of Jordan.
Stevens heard Louis' words and wisely chose to bypass the pick-and-roll. Because Jordan didn't feel good about three-pointers tonight, he would never choose to take a three-pointer.
Sure enough, Stevens bypassed the pick-and-roll and made the Blazers' pick-and-roll tactics ineffective.
Wilson was bold and careful, letting go of Robinson, who was standing high, and teaming up with Stevens to double-team Jordan.
Jordan dribbled the ball behind his back, took a step to the right, jumped up, and shot with a drift.
"Whoosh!"
85 to 83
This kind of ball makes no sense and has no logic.
"You are coming on stage now because you want to experience for yourself how I kill you?" Jordan asked coldly.
"On the contrary."
Wilson walked forward slowly.
However, the Trail Blazers didn't want to give the Knicks a chance to breathe.
What is the purpose of a five-wing lineup?
Pat Riley gave the order: "Oppress them, now!"
The Blazers' full-court press, which frightened the Western Conference, appeared again in the fourth quarter of Game 7 of the Finals.
This was once the Knicks' trump card to stifle their opponents, but now it is in the opponent's hands.
Everyone remembered how the Celtics were dethroned back then.
At that time, the tragic man sat on the sidelines and watched the Knicks dismember the Celtics with this rough and arrogant defense.
“Is history repeating itself?”
Chris Jackson received the serve, Edwards stepped forward, and Robinson double-teamed.
Fortunately, Louis let him practice strength for a year, otherwise he would have dropped the ball now because he couldn't bear the resistance.
Stevens picks up CJ.
He is an all-rounder, his strength is defense, but he can also do many things.
However, Louis was very sure that Stevens could not face the Blazers' full-court press.
If they can't bring the ball to the frontcourt, the Knicks' inside advantage will be out of the question.
Louis' hands were shaking, and he wanted to know what else could be done to save the crisis on the field.
He stared and saw Knicks No. 25 (Wilson) holding up his right hand for the ball.
Stevens knew he was injured, but what if he didn't pass the ball?
He jumped up and threw the ball.
Wilson grabbed the ball and faced Jordan, who was assisting in defense.
Jordan's single defense is ranked first among active perimeter players.
Wilson dribbled the ball with his right hand, put his back against Jordan's body, and suddenly used force to squeeze the opponent's body away, forcing the ball to accelerate and bring it to the frontcourt.
"Why is this guy so reckless and impulsive?" the team doctor looked worried.
"Full-blooded young people are easily impulsive." Tomjanovich understood Benj. "They want to be heroes at any time. This desire is so great that even the biggest pain in the world can be ignored."
Louis looked at Wilson, he was really worried that Benj would collapse in the next second.
He knew very well how much risk Wilson was taking by playing at this time, and he knew it was wrong to do so, but this was obviously a two-way choice between him and Wilson.
Wilson is eager to play, and Louis needs him to play.
Louis' mood was very complicated. He wanted Wilson to be the hero tonight, but also wanted him to stop and not continue playing.
The ball was smoothly brought to the frontcourt.
Wilson hands it back to CJ.
CJ dribbles the ball, and he and Wilson form angles to the left and right to create space inside.
Ewing takes the position and CJ passes the ball.
The gorilla violently knocked Mason's body over and turned around to attack the basket.
85 to 85
Barkley came to the low post. If it was one-on-one, he was confident of beating Rodman.
In his eyes, the Defensive Player of the Year is just a lamb waiting to be killed and no threat.
At this time, Jordan came to the corner and lobbed the ball to Barkley.
He decisively held the ball and knocked away Rodman's defense. Stevens, who was facing Jordan, gave up on Jordan and chased into the paint. Ewing gave up on Mason and turned around to block Barkley's shot.
The basketball flew into the air and fell into Mason's hands.
Mason wanted to make a second attack, but Ewing just turned around and blocked his ball.
Two consecutive shots in one round, Ewing's defense made the garden boil, and Stevens dived to the floor for the ball.
He grabbed the ball and threw it to his teammates.
The Trail Blazers, who lost the ball, pressed the whole court on the spot.
This is a five-on-five full-court press.
Like two groups of lions fighting over a dead prey.
The Trail Blazers have the advantage in size and combat personnel, but the Knicks are more willing to fight than they are.
Stevens was willing to throw the ball on the floor, Rodman was willing to fly out of bounds to save the ball, and Ewing gave Jordan an elbow in the crowd.
CJ picked up the ball and was double-teamed in the bottom corner. He passed the ball to Wilson with difficulty.
Blue Edwards immediately collided with Wilson's body and was called for a foul by the referee.
At this time, the time had just reached 5 minutes and 40 seconds, and Wilson had just appeared for 1 minute and 08 seconds, but the situation was already tense, and both sides had given up their reason and only remained animalistic.
"We can't lose to them here!" McHale, who has always been a Buddha, sat on the floor and roared, "We have to fight those Oregon bastards to the end!"
Wilson put his hands on the floor and breathed heavily.
The pain in his feet did not lessen every second. His face was covered with a mixture of sweat and tears. No doubt, the tears overflowed due to the pain.
Benjamin, you are the shining Uranus, why are you so embarrassed now?
Wilson asked himself deep down.
Patrick Ewing walked up to him and said, "If you can't hold on, now is a good time to quit."
Wilson had mixed feelings about Ewing, because he was a difficult leader to understand. He was tough both externally and internally. He always said weird things that disturbed the atmosphere, and he always clashed with him and provoked troubles.
"Patrick, who do you think you are talking to?" The conqueror raised his eyes and gritted his teeth and said, "I will get up and fight you to the end even if I try my best!"
Benj stood up.
Ewing smiled jokingly; "Is that what the hell you called 'Patrick' too?"
Wilson did not respond to Ewing. He took a few steps forward and looked at his teammates if he felt okay: "If you need a three-pointer, you should know where I will appear."
Louis' son Lu Wuxia saw the moment when Wilson decided to leave everything behind and become a hero.
He saw Benj's expression of pain that he couldn't hide, but he still didn't flinch.
The 8-year-old boy will not immediately understand the full meaning of that moment, but sooner or later he will understand that being brave does not mean not being afraid, and not being afraid is not courage, but a kind of brain injury that has been medically certified. Bravery is a
Faith means that even though you feel scared, you are still willing to face difficulties for certain things; even though you feel pain, you are still able to face the storm without fear.
In order to stop Ewing's offense, the Trail Blazers deployed a three-man double team.
This allowed them to release both Stevens and Chris Jackson.
Ewing passed the ball outside.
CJ took a three-pointer under Jordan's defense but missed.
Rodman lit up the rebound, Ewing grabbed it and continued to pass to the outside.
Stevens got the ball and saw CJ pointing behind him, so he also remembered that there was a teammate behind him.
Stevens threw the ball toward the right corner, which was the only place the Blazers couldn't care about.
Wilson stretched out his hand to catch the ball, took off with both legs, and shot.
"Whoosh!"
"Victory is the only thing Benjamin wants to take away from the garden, it makes the pain so insignificant."
88 to 85
Back in the backcourt, Wilson asked Stevens to guard Robinson and let him face Jordan.
"Don't hesitate. Neither you nor I can guard against that guy anyway. Instead of letting you defend the first level, it's better to wait for him to break through behind me!"
"How do you know he's going to break through?"
Wilson laughed loudly, "I just know it!"
Jordan dribbled to the frontcourt, and Wilson opened a meter and a half distance, "If you can, take action and give me a ball!"
Jordan has decided that unnecessary three-pointers will give the Knicks a breathing space, because his three-pointers are not stable enough. Now the best offensive option is to play inside. Can Wilson guard him? Not even when he is healthy.
, let alone now?
Jordan ignored the one and a half meters of space, initiated a breakthrough, and successfully passed Wilson's defense.
As expected, Stevens responded immediately, and Rodman also appeared from the right wing, forming a pincer attack between the two.
Jordan passes to Barkley.
Barkley stormed the Knicks' penalty area, and Ewing's defense was knocked away by him, but he missed the ball.
Clifford Robinson jumped in to grab the offensive rebound. Just as he was about to make a second attack, Wilson, who was chasing from behind, blocked him before taking off.
The two sides competed for the ball on the floor again.
No one could control the ball, and the Blazers' shot clock ran out in a violent and meaningless scramble.
The Blazers continued to press the game.
With Wilson and Stevens taking over, the pressure on CJ is not that great.
"Give the ball to Benj!" Louie shouted.
CJ passes the ball to Wilson.
Wilson didn't leave any pause, accelerated past halftime, and then returned to CJ.
"Hold Benjamin!" Riley yelled.
Jordan's defense followed suit, and the Blazers were afraid of Wilson's shooting and were determined not to give him any chance to make a shot.
"Benj, I hope you can still play Exchange Ricky (high position dynamic offense)!" Louis said and asked CJ to start the strategy.
Ewing and Rodman left the basket and went up to the high post to set screens.
This is trust, this is unconditional obedience to the core of the offense.
Wilson's use of several feet was not something they considered. Both Ewing and Rodman provided the best coverage in their respective positions.
This alone was not enough, the Blazers' defensive rotations on the wings were so fast that the tactics could not be deployed smoothly.
Ewing had an idea, faked a screen, and actually cut inside.
This really shakes up the Blazers' defensive system.
When Ewing cut inside, two Blazers players followed him.
CJ passed the ball and Ewing's dunk was interfered by Clifford Robinson from behind.
The ball spiked, but Rodman predicted where the rebound would fall like a prophet and grabbed his 10th offensive rebound tonight.
In this case, if Wilson didn't run ahead of time, he wouldn't have a chance.
Miraculously, he followed Rodman when he ran to grab the board.
He didn't know where the rebound would go, he only knew that Rodman was the one most likely to grab the offensive rebound.
The moment Rodman grabbed the rebound, Wilson yelled.
Rodman turned around, handed the ball to Wilson, and then helped Wilson block the pursuing Jordan.
Outside the three-point line on the right, Wilson had no time to calm his center of gravity, collected the ball, jumped up, and shot a three-pointer as quickly as possible.
If the garden is hell, then Louis can also see vitality in it.
Benjamin Wilson's fingers that plucked the ball were slender and gentle, pulling the basketball toward the basket.
"Whoosh!"
91 to 85
Even though this place is as deep as purgatory, the conqueror is still clothed in clothes as bright as the sun.
He raised his right hand high and roared at the top of his lungs: "We will definitely win this game!"
Everyone who saw this scene would admit that Wilson was the leader of the Knicks. Even Ewing was infected by him and started yelling.
The fans in Madison Square Garden are now equal. Whether they are celebrities in the front row or ordinary fans in the back row, they are all cheering for the same thing.
The game time came to less than four minutes.
The Knicks' strong defense thwarted the Blazers' two attempts to initiate tactics.
Jordan desperately chose a long buzzer-beating jumper.
"Whoosh!"
He responded to Benj, but such a goal was not enough to help the Blazers regain the point difference.
87 to 91
Wilson didn't hit every shot, and his third shot came out of the basket.
What happened next was the reason why Wilson had endless confidence every time he shot.
The great Dennis Rodman hit the rebound five times. He faced four Trail Blazers players alone, but incredibly put the rebound into his own chest.
"Dennis' 11th rebound of the night!"
When the Blazers double-teamed him angrily, he found Ewing who was open under the basket and made a juggling two-handed pass.
The ball bounced from the ground into the air, and the gorilla jumped up for an alley-oop dunk.
93 to 87
"Return to defense, Benj, set up a trap in the middle, don't let Mickey come to the middle!" Louis ordered hurriedly.
He didn't know if Wilson heard what he said clearly.
If the Knicks symbolize life, then the Trail Blazers are the messengers who bring death, but their front belongs only to the living.
Jordan was already crazy, his sanity was drowned in the garden, he played his personal best, entered the middle, but fell into the trap that Wilson and his teammates had woven for him.
His shot was touched by Rodman's fingers.
It was a shot that was destined not to fall into the basket, and bang, Barkley grabbed the offensive rebound.
He was shrouded in Ewing's body, but he had big ambitions. No one in the Knicks was afraid of his offense. When he knocked Ewing away, the result was doomed.
89 to 93
"It doesn't matter! It doesn't matter!" Louis stood in midfield and clapped his hands, "Play it back! As long as you play it back, this kind of ball doesn't matter at all!"
As a result, the Trail Blazers' full-court press forced the Knicks to make mistakes.
They won the ball within 5 seconds, and Jordan flew and dunked.
91 to 93
"Hold on, pay attention to the distance between three points and one line when passing the ball, don't get too close!"
Louis loudly directed from the sidelines.
CJ passes the ball to Wilson.
Wilson had just taken a few steps forward when the Blazers attacked him frantically. Fortunately, he reacted in advance and passed the ball to Stevens.
Stevens dribbled the ball past half court, and before he could breathe a sigh of relief, Jordan appeared from behind and cut his ball to the ground.
Stevens' mind went blank. In less than a second, the Knicks made their second mistake in less than 25 seconds.
Jordan held the ball forward and scored the goal, and the two sides were tied again.
His offensive attack made MSG miserable. When he entered the penalty area and was about to tell the world why he was called the Flying Man, Wilson, who had retreated to the backcourt early due to his positional advantage, saved from the bottom corner. This game made
Everyone involved is covered in wounds, but some will always grow wings from the wounds.
"OMG, Benjamin knocked Michael over violently!"
Instead of succeeding in his dunk, Jordan fell to the ground miserably.
That's exactly what Xavier McDaniel did to Wilson.
The referee gave Wilson a common shooting foul. After Jordan confirmed that he was not injured, he shot the free throw as if nothing was wrong.
They are all used to this intensity of defensive action.
As Jordan was shooting free throws, Louis replaced Stockton with Chris Jackson.
They just made consecutive mistakes, which were related to the connection and CJ, the first ball-holding point. As a point guard, his ability to control movement is not enough under such intensity of defense.
Jordan made both free throws, and there were only 2 minutes and 24 seconds left in the game.
93 to 93
"The game has reached this point and losing is unacceptable to either side."
"They gave it their all."
Bob Costas and Doug Collins were talking to each other, but the tragedy master had been silent for a long time.
In his memory, he seemed to have never played such a game.
Even if he loses a game, he will not feel any regret or regret.
After Stockton replaced CJ, the Knicks' turnover problem seemed to be solved.
After resting, Stockton's mental state has recovered a lot, his mind is very clear, and he does not need Louis to command all the time like CJ.
The Knicks took 7 seconds to cross halftime and 10 seconds to reach the frontcourt, leaving only 14 seconds to organize an offense.
The Blazers' full-court press will not stop just because the opponent has passed halftime. They are a group of beasts that will not give up until they force mistakes.
There was no time for Wilson to run the tactics, Stockton passed the ball inside.
Ewing played with the ball, and sure enough, Rodman and Stevens were released at the same time. When there are two offensive burdens on the field, the opponent's flanking attack will only become unscrupulous.
Ewing couldn't pass the ball and could only throw the ball toward the basket.
Even if he didn't score, there was a high probability that Rodman would be able to grab an offensive rebound because they sent three people to defend themselves.
Rodman jumped up, and the rebound seemed to be within his grasp.
Jordan's appearance was an accident.
He changed the trajectory of the ball.
Fortunately, Stevens stood on the spot where the rebound landed.
He grabbed the rebound and passed it back to Stockton.
Stockton called a pick-and-roll and Ewing ran out.
After the breakthrough, Stockton's ball was passed to Ewing.
Ewing feinted with the ball and scored Rodman again.
Rodman saw Louis' gesture and then swung the ball to the bottom corner, where Wilson was.
The Blazers' defense was torn apart by the passing ball inside and outside, and the only person who could guard Wilson was Clifford Robinson, who made the first save.
After receiving the ball, Wilson faced the darkness coming toward him. He lifted the ball upward. Was it a shot? At least, Robinson thought it was a shot.
He flew forward, but Wilson's body pressed down, causing his body to fly out of bounds - Wilson adjusted his dribbling, collected the ball again, and his posture seemed to be fixed, like a climber climbing towards the palace of light.
Believers, the soaring basketball is the floating bridge to heaven, mixed with desires that ordinary people will never understand.
You can't see it or touch it, but it's isolated between the conquerors and the world around them.
"Whoosh!"
The audience cheered so much that Benj couldn't hear other sounds.
He turned around and saw his coach, who was also roaring to himself. These were the only words he could hear clearly.
"Benj, just kill them like this!"
96 to 93
The Blazers, eager to respond, were in danger from the start.
Blue Edwards was double-teamed and almost made a mistake, but luckily Jordan responded.
But as soon as Jordan touched the ball, he was trapped in place by Wilson and Stevens.
The Blazers wasted a lot of time on this, and Jordan struggled to get the ball out.
Clifford Robinson took an open shot. This wing player whose offense became more unstable the higher the intensity of the game, did not bring confidence to the Blazers' core.
"boom!"
Just as the Knicks' offense during this period relied entirely on Wilson's shooting touch, the Blazers' offense can only revolve around Jordan and Barkley.
Everyone else is unreliable, and it took seven games to prove this.
Ewing protected the defensive rebound and passed it to Stockton, hoping that he would counterattack.
His purpose was too obvious, and he didn't consider Jordan behind Stockton.
Jordan grabbed the ball in front, intercepted the ball, and dribbled to the basket.
Ewing's defense held up the Knicks all night, but the Flyers were a bigger presence in the air than he was.
Jordan, who was crazy about winning, collided head-on with Ewing's body, raised his hand and ball to the highest point of the court, and landed on the basket like an axe.
The referee called a foul and Jordan made the extra free throw.
This was his 50th point tonight, 96 to 96, the two sides were tied again, with only 57 seconds left in the game.
Moreover, that was Ewing's fifth foul just now, and there was less than one minute left in the game, so it no longer mattered.
No one takes Ewing's foul count seriously.
Spike Lee, the most radical Knicks celebrity fan, jumped to the sidelines and waved his hands, asking all fans to stand up. When the Knicks attack, they must stay quiet and give the loudest cheers when they score. When the Trail Blazers attack, they must give the strongest cheers.
Boo, this is the best help they can give the home team.
"A lot of people ask me, 'Clyde, what was it like in the '70s with the Knicks playing in the Garden?' I can answer you now." Knicks home announcer Walter Frazier exclaimed, "That's it.
Look like this! Who said New York fans are the worst in the world? No, this is completely wrong! They are the best fans in the world, but the premise is that you have to prove that you are the best team in the world!"
The Trail Blazers exhausted their defensive resources against Wilson.
This defense is not without loopholes, but Louis can't call a timeout now. He only has one timeout left, which he has to save until the end.
In less than a minute, if the Knicks play faster, they theoretically have two offensive opportunities.
Wilson moves like a perpetual motion machine.
Louis saw that after the Knicks carried out two complete high-post dynamic offensive tactics, the Blazers' defense would be significantly stretched, but if the ball did not hit the inside, there would be no real opportunity.
"Give the ball to Patrick!" Louie yelled.
In the last 7 seconds of the attack time, Ewing received the pass.
The Blazers instinctively shrank. In this game, Ewing's backcourt defense and frontcourt dominance, Rodman's offensive rebounds and Wilson's shooting after returning made them suffer.
The ordeal began with Ewing.
When he gets the ball, the defense must shrink and the double-team must be applied immediately, otherwise he will be easily scored.
Nance, who had just been substituted, Robinson, who had given up Rodman, and McDaniel, who had also just been substituted, forced Ewing into a corner with their defense.
If you make a move, you are likely to be blocked. If you don't make a move, time is up.
Ewing thought of Wilson.
He didn't know where Wilson was standing, but Wilson had said that if a three-point shot was needed, they knew where he was.
"How the hell do I know where you are!"
When Ewing raised the ball, he thought of something. He decided to take a gamble and throw the ball towards the opposite corner.
That was with only two seconds left on the shot clock.
Wilson repeated the action countless times, collecting the ball and getting up, this time faster than before.
His body bouncing upward was the most feared sight for the pioneers.
When the basketball was sent out from his fingertips, a hole seemed to be torn open on the top of the garden. That terrifying crack was an abyss that split open the heart of the Blazers.
"Hit it again! The great Wilson! His shot conquered the Garden, conquered the proud New York fans, and the people on Madison Avenue were worshiping him. After Joe Frazier knocked down the immortal Muhammad in 1971
After Mudd Ali, another great guy conquered the basketball Mecca!"
99 to 96
With only 33 seconds left, the Blazers requested a timeout.
Louis stood on the sidelines, thinking back on what had just happened.
Wilson only needed a screen to run out of space. This is the space brought by Ewing's intimidation, and it is also the biggest flaw on the Trail Blazers' defensive end.
They can only control one inside line and one outside line.
They chose to control Ewing, because Ewing will definitely dominate the basket if left alone.
"This is an obvious flaw," Louis thought to himself.
During the timeout, Louis only had one sentence: "My heels all know that they will pass the ball to Michael, so as long as Michael gets the ball, the three players closest to him will double-team him directly!"
"We are leading by 3 points, and we will never give them a chance to hit a three-pointer. If they want to go to the basket, they will definitely knock me over. I would rather let them take free throws than see them easily score 2 points. And
, whoever dares to give 'three points', I will fucking kill!"
The two sides returned to the game with only half a minute left and neither team had any choice.
The Trail Blazers used Jordan, Edwards, Causey, McDaniel and Barkley as the lineup for the decisive round, and Louis did not make any adjustments.
Sure enough, they asked Cosey to take a free throw and tried to get Jordan to catch the ball.
Stevens' unscrupulous off-ball defense made it difficult for Jordan to catch the ball through uncovered runs.
Cosey could only serve the ball to Edwards' hands first.
Stockton, who was facing him, pressed him aggressively.
He passed the ball to McDaniel.
Wilson had a blood feud with him and took action on the spot, trying to steal it.
McDaniel's ball fell to the ground, almost frightening his courage. He picked up the ball and hugged it tightly in his arms.
The Blazers' tactics "died" on the outside. Wilson entangled McDaniel and Stevens risked leaving Jordan behind to double-team. If McDaniel's ball was intercepted, the Knicks could seal the victory.
The screen from teammates and the block from Knicks made the situation complicated.
Wilson slapped the ball violently, causing McDaniel's ball to fall to the ground again.
McDaniel rushed to the floor and grabbed the ball. There were only a few seconds left in the attack time. He saw Jordan running quickly. That was the only hope. The X-Men used all their strength to push the ball to Jordan.
When Jordan catches the ball, the shot clock may only be 1.5 seconds left.
Time passes so firmly and steadily, but it rushes wildly beyond all clock scales.
It may only take a little time to change yourself, but sometimes it takes a lifetime to realize that you must change.
The invincible Jordan never thought that a mere three-pointer would create such a big problem for him. Now, he has no time to attack the basket or dribble. The only thing he can do is to try to shoot a three-pointer.
At this moment, Jordan seemed to have returned to the winning shot he made as a freshman in the NCAA Finals 10 years ago.
It was a goal that still scares him when he thinks back on it.
Because he has no confidence.
This feeling had not appeared for a long time. When he saw Ewing rushing towards him, he suddenly had a strong suggestion in his heart.
At the beginning, his opponent was also Ewing. Today, it is Ewing who is trying to stop him.
In that fleeting second, Jordan was sure he was going to make the shot.
Because that is the call of destiny!
His three-pointer flew out of Ewing's hand head-on.
"Uh-huh!!!"
"Michael broke the shackles and hit a three-pointer! His will is over this game!" Costas asked, "Will there be overtime?"
Then, Louis used up the Knicks' final timeout.
99 to 99
There are only 9 seconds left in the game.
What is certain is that if it enters overtime, the Knicks have no chance of winning. Ewing committed five fouls, Wilson is injured, their rotation has bottomed out, and the Trail Blazers have at least seven players who can play.
All big moments take a long time to happen, just like this game.
They fought hard for seven games, and in the end it only took 9 seconds to decide the outcome.
Louis held the tactical board and raised his voice, "John, pass the ball to Benj."
"Benj, if you catch the ball or anyone else catches the ball, you must pass the ball to Patrick as soon as possible!" Louis arranged delicately, "Patrick, you are still the 'bait', they have
They've been double-teaming you all night, and unless Pat Riley goes crazy in those nine seconds, as soon as you get the ball, you're going to be double-teamed. This is a result they can't avoid no matter what.
, double-team Patrick, and Benj is left unguarded! Portland has made their bets, so, we have to do what we have to do!”
The Knicks players unexpectedly discovered that the Trail Blazers did not have much defense against Wilson receiving the serve.
This scene had already been foreseen by Louis.
The Trail Blazers are eager for Wilson to get the ball. What they are afraid of is that Wilson will catch the ball and shoot after running. Dribbling the ball like this is what Riley wants to see most.
But Louis has made arrangements.
In 8 seconds, Wilson lobbed the ball to Ewing who was asking for the ball inside.
The Blazers' defense immediately shrank.
7 seconds
Wilson shook off a teammate's screen.
In 6 seconds, Ewing launched a fatal attack.
As before, the Blazers chose to flank. They knew that guarding against Ewing would miss Wilson, which was two bottles of poison. Ewing's one-on-one shooting rate was over 70%. Maybe their math was too bad, but Louis really wanted to Remind them that Wilson's shooting percentage in the last five minutes of the fourth quarter was 80%.
In 4 seconds, the double attack has come to Ewing, but the ball has not yet been passed.
This is a difficult test for Ewing, who has to attract defensive pressure while waiting for Wilson to run out of opportunities.
One against three inside and four against two outside, it is not difficult to find opportunities.
2 seconds
Rodman blocked Jordan and Stevens tripped McDaniel.
In this fleeting 9 seconds, everyone can see their own secret. Fans see the secret of unity, celebrities see the secret of the Knicks' strength, and women see the secret of why these men are so charming. And some more professional people, like Louis, will see the great and eternal secret.
This group of people is fully focused and highly concentrated, putting themselves aside for victory and forgetting the noisy world around them.
At the last second, Wilson stood at the top of the arc and received the ball from Ewing.
His body rose straight up and sent out the basketball in his hand. When the red light came on, the garden suddenly became silent. Every witness knew that they were witnessing a miracle that transcended time.
In this dazzling final moment, Benjamin Wilson spreads light to the world like a star, guiding the basketball to fly to its destination - when the ball goes in, it is like an exploding nuclear bomb, igniting the night in an instant, and everything in the world bows down at this moment among.
"Benjamin is a well-deserved conqueror!" Bob Costas shouted uncontrollably. "He lived up to expectations and carried the dream of New York State on his back. When everyone was eager for a hero to stand up, he became that hero. hero!"
