The rest is just noise

In December 1992, Michael Jordan and Barry Bonds became a hot topic in North American sports.

The former led the Portland Trail Blazers, known as the Avengers, and went undefeated from early November to early December.

The Portland Avengers are composed of Thomas, Jordan, Barkley, Nance, and Sabonis.

This team is luxurious enough to have Xavier McDaniel, Jerome Cosey, Anthony Mason, Brian Shaw, and Clifford Robinson on the bench.

They have the league's strongest 10-man rotation.

Pat Riley stole the long rotation from Louis this year, and the Trail Blazers were very successful - he learned so much from Louis, but didn't pay the tuition. This made Louis very dissatisfied.

So far this season, Jordan leads the mvp prediction list with averages of 25 points, 7 rebounds and 9 assists per game.

In this luxurious team, he was destined to never win the scoring title again, so he did his best in defense and organization.

Organizationally, he contributed 9 assists per game, and on the defensive end, he sent out 3.2 steals and 1.2 blocks every night.

This is basically dpoy level performance.

Even if the Trail Blazers' opponent is the Knicks, the five-time champion Knicks, people believe this team will win.

Last year, they were able to fight the Knicks until the last ball of Game 7 with the Flying Pigs alone. Now they have added Sabonis and Thomas, plus Riley has a year to mature the Blazers' murderous press.

.

They have absolutely no reason to lose.

"This team came to this world to save those basketball fans who have been tortured by the Knicks and enter a new era."

As for Bonds, who is as famous as Jordan, he is a super star among the younger generation of MLB.

Just signed the largest contract in MLB history.

The team that gave Jordan and his Trail Blazers their first defeat was the Los Angeles Clippers from the Western Conference.

How to deal with the Trail Blazers, Louis showed it last season.

However, the Blazers were too weak inside last season, so Ewing became an unsolvable problem for them. This year, the addition of Sabonis made this problem a thing of the past.

The Clippers won because of Olajuwon's complete destruction of Sabonis and Drexler's hatred of Portland.

On the night of December 13th, the Clippers challenged the Trail Blazers away from home.

Every time Glider takes the ball, you can hear the deafening cheers of the fans. In just a few years, he went from being the city's darling to Oregon's public enemy.

Fans hate him.

Because he betrayed this city.

Portlanders originally hoped that Drexler and Jordan could become this generation's Jerry West and Elgin Baylor - but before West's rise, Baylor was still the boss of the Lakers until he was injured.

, the man with the logo took over the position of the Lakers' chief player.

The Glider never achieved Baylor status.

He has been a supporting character from the beginning.

He was obviously the one who came first...

If that's all it is, that's it.

He can be a supporting character, if he has never been a protagonist.

Unfortunately, the "opportunity" to let the glider be the protagonist was given by Jordan.

In the 1988-89 season, Jordan was injured for the season and Drexler became the core of the team and was forced to lead the team forward.

It was during that season that Drexler discovered that perhaps he should not be Jordan's supporting role.

No one is born to be a supporting actor.

The Trail Blazers lost Jordan, but Drexler had the best season of his career and led the team to the Western Conference Finals where they lost to the Lakers.

People in Portland thought it was a great thing that Drexler could lead the Blazers to the Western Conference Finals - which is indeed a great thing - but their subsequent associations ignored the complexity of people's hearts.

They felt that Drexler, who had proven himself, could still work together with Jordan.

As a result, the Trail Blazers began to explode, and from then on, they were ruined by internal strife for two consecutive seasons. It was not until the summer of 1991 that they traded Drexler to return to the Finals.

Judging from the result, Drakes was traded and he was a loser, so he should not complain.

In fact, Drexler was not only complaining, but also full of anger.

After a hopeless season with the Bulls, he fell short of the Dream Team—and Drexler believed the man who made him fall short was Jordan.

Because everyone knows that he and Jordan have irresolvable conflicts. Without him, there would be no Jordan.

Given a choice between the flying man and him, no one would choose the latter.

Letting him be traded and go to Chicago is a struggle of interests.

Letting him not be selected for the dream team is a public revenge and a ostracism.

Drexler remembered every detail and produced a shocking performance on this night.

If things go by normal circumstances, Drexler would have a very difficult time meeting Jordan.

As a result, Drexler's outside shooting opened up.

They made 5 of 7 three-point shots in the first half, which confused the Blazers' defense.

They don't know how to anti-glider.

Because the glider shot accurately, the breakthrough was carried with the ambition to die.

The Blazers implemented the no layup rule and knocked him to the ground one after another. He just sneered.

"I don't think your style of play is a match for New York." Glider said heartily, "Didn't you lose last season?"

For someone like Drexler, who often thinks too much and leads to poor performance, it would be bad for his opponent to suddenly make up his mind to pursue and fight fiercely.

Drexler's performance surpassed Jordan's, but it was not enough to win against the Trail Blazers.

The Trail Blazers have formed the strongest team in history, and they have many winning points.

Isiah Thomas, Charles Barkley, Sabonis, Nance and a murderous press that pushes the waves ahead.

The Clippers used Olajuwon's nuclear weapon to defeat Sabonis.

Sabonis entered the NBA five years earlier than Louis expected, which means that he can play in a better competitive state in the NBA.

At this time, Sabonis has the strength of an All-Star insider, but Olajuwon's forward-style offense is the nemesis of all traditional inside players.

That night, Sabonis failed to guard Olajuwon, was beaten to the point of explosion, and encountered a foul crisis early.

Isiah Thomas was in excellent condition, but after his shooting touch faded, he broke through to the basket and was helpless against Mutombo and Olajuwon's defense.

Jordan did not perform well on the offensive end, and Nance was unable to break down the Clippers' defense.

Barkley was the only Blazers starter to perform normally.

With the intensity of the murderous press, the Trail Blazers dragged the game to the end.

At the critical moment of life and death, the inconspicuous rookie Karateril Sprewell surpassed Jordan in one step and dunked Nance to score 2+1, sealing the victory for the Clippers.

The Trail Blazers suffered their first defeat of the season.

The 24-game winning streak to start the season ended.

"This game tells the world that don't think that the only contenders for the O'Brien Cup are New York and Portland, Los Angeles is also under consideration - and this team from Los Angeles is not the Lakers we are familiar with.

But the Clippers! Fans, you heard me right, we are indeed living in an era where the Clippers are more competitive than the Lakers!"

No matter how competitive the Clippers are, the Los Angeles media will always favor the Lakers.

Even though the Clippers are very interesting.

The "Los Angeles Daily News" vividly proved that the Clippers are stepmother: "When the Clippers reach the Western Conference Finals, we will talk about competitiveness."

Louis had no time to care about the impact the Clippers' rise had on professional sports in Los Angeles. After the Clippers defeated the Trail Blazers, he reviewed the game overnight.

Unfortunately, although the Clippers' win was exciting, as the Trail Blazers' archrival, the Knicks were unable to find details worth learning from in this game.

Because there are too many contingencies in this game that cannot be replicated.

For example, Drexler made 6 of 10 three-pointers;

Also, after Jordan met Drexler, he didn't turn on the "die for me" mode;

In addition, there is a certain degree of slackness among the Blazers;

Finally, the Clippers were in great shape.

The most unrepeatable thing is not accidental - it is that Louis could not imagine the scene where Ewing defeated Sabonis like Olajuwon did that night.

As long as the target is Ewing, Louis will imagine the worst outcome - before meeting the Trail Blazers for the first time this season, he adopts the most conservative approach, assuming that the matchup between Ewing and Sabonis is evenly matched, and it will be a 50-50 split.

.

Even though Louis is not optimistic, he still has to review the game for his players.

"I hope that when the Christmas game starts, we can fight to win like the Clippers in this game." Louis said to the players, "Everyone knows that the Trail Blazers are our biggest opponent. Since they are the biggest opponent, no matter it is

Regular season or finals. Whenever we meet them, we must do our best and take victory as our first goal. Do you have the confidence!"

"That goes without saying!" Ewing slammed the table to boost morale. "We had a lot of injured players in the finals, but we still beat them. Now we are all healthy and can play. I really can't think of anything.

How bad do we have to play to lose!"

After hearing this, Louis smiled.

"Okay, if we lose then, I will pluck all your bird feathers!" Louis threatened pervertedly.

Ewing broke into a cold sweat, and what he said made Louis want to kick him.

"You can't do that, that's the most attractive part of my body!"

"No woman doesn't like it!"

The Jamaican gun king emphasized seriously.
