The rest is just noise

The Heat have several good inside players.

Like Dale Davis, Antonio Davis, Rick Mahon, P-J Brown, Hank Gathers.

These five people have a balanced combination and are all outstanding talents at the fourth and fifth positions. However, the Knicks are even stronger inside.

Ewing, Kemp, Rodman, Yu Tiancan, and McHale are also a five-man inside group. The Heat's upper limit is Gathers, while the Knicks' current upper limit is Ewing, and the future will be Kemp, that is, combat strength.

With Rodman, Yu Tiancan is a lottery ticket, and McHale is a plug-and-play veteran.

Game 1, which Heat fans had high hopes for, was a complete defeat in the true sense.

The outstanding backcourt duo lost to the Knicks' UCLA duo, and the interior line also had no power to fight back against Ewing and Kemp.

On the defensive end, Ewing played his best performance since the start of the playoffs.

Facing the alternating attacks of Davis and Gathers, Ewing scored 16 points, 18 rebounds and 8 blocks in a single game.

Ewing is looking more and more like a taller Bill Russell.

Louis didn't know if this was a return from the lost path, or if it was still too late, but Ewing was changing.

For Louis, the ideal Ewing is not the all-around offensive and defensive second center in the 1990s. Instead, he was the pure, fierce, and hateful contemporary Russell in the two years from 1988 to 1989.

When Ewing came off the court, Louis threw him a towel.

Louis said nothing.

Ewing glanced at him and wiped his sweat with a towel solemnly but complacently, as if asking Louis: Am I a qualified leader tonight?

In addition to Ewing, Kemp's performance also made Miami people despair.

Discussion of defeating Larry Johnson in the semifinals and making Kemp one of the top four spots in the league.

Facing the Heat's leading player, Hank Gathers, Kemp was also ruthless.

The Knicks' roster is star-studded, but the only ones who can truly be called superstars are Wilson and Ewing. Kemp, like everyone else, was overshadowed by the light of the two superstars. It wasn't until he beat his aunt that everyone discovered that he was

It is the third emperor star hidden in New York.

His progress is so rapid that even Louis has to admit that Kemp has become the Knicks' third player.

Tonight against Gathers, he matched the opponent with 22 points, 9 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks.

Judging from the data, Gathers seems to be better.

However, most of Gathers' data were obtained when the Knicks were leading by a large margin and their defensive intensity dropped.

On the other hand, Kemp was in a fiercely competitive environment, with Rodman behind him constantly threatening his position. He did not dare to slack off and gave his best every second he played.

So the perception of this game is that Kemp defeated Gaithers, but the data is not as good as the opponent.

"The data comparison between Sean Kemp and Hank Gathers will make us understand that pure data can easily deceive people."

"Compared to Gaithers, Kemp is better."

This is what Hubie Brown said.

The next day, the "New York Times" wrote a long article for Kemp with the title "Now let's hire the next top power forward in the league."

The article introduced Kemp's defeat of Larry Johnson in the semifinals, then talked about Game 1's suppression of Gathers, and finally compared him with several other top power forwards.

The Times believes that Kemp's strength is higher than that of LJ and Gathers. As for whether he is stronger than Malone, Manning, and Barkley, it still needs to be tested in actual combat.

At least for now, the Times identifies Kemp as one of the top four power forwards in the league, and also lists Kemp's advantages over other top power forwards.

Kemp is better than Malone in terms of athletic ability and physical fitness;

Kemp is more like a power forward than Manning, and Manning is too much like Sampson. The problem is that Sampson is 2 meters 2, and Manning is less than 2 meters 1. He should be a power forward, but he is

Sampson's path, and then swayed in various directions in the game, and could play at the third, fourth and fifth positions. His miscellaneous and unprofessional positioning destined him not to become the best fourth position;

In the comparison between Kemp and Barkley, the Times was extremely confident. Because Kemp had just defeated Larry Johnson, known as Barkley Jr., it completely ignored the gap in technical characteristics and immediate combat power between the two men and concluded that

Kemp will prove that he is one of the top three power forwards in the league by beating Barkley in the Finals.

Public opinion outside is very strange.

The conference finals are clearly in full swing, but public opinion has already concluded that the Knicks and Trail Blazers will compete in the finals.

This public opinion environment deeply offended the other two protagonists in the conference finals.

"I don't think this series is without suspense."

Heat head coach Billy Donovan said seriously.

"The Knicks are indeed a big mountain. We are climbers. Up is the only way. We will climb to the top and let the world hear our cry."

The public opinion of being looked down upon is more effective than any chicken soup for the soul.

The Clippers and Heat launched fierce counterattacks in Game 2.

Petrovic continued his form from the first game.

Tonight, the Knicks had no one to respond from the outside.

Meanwhile, Miami's home-court advantage also comes into play.

The Knicks tried to affect Petrovic's condition with fierce defense, but the referee's whistle sounded frequently.

The referees did not allow intense physical contact, so the Knicks could only reduce the intensity.

However, once the intensity is reduced, it cannot limit the opponent's performance.

Petrovich's rampage was no accident.

The rise of Louis has given contemporary shooters a broader world.

Petrovich not only rode the wind brought by Louis, but also happened to play under Billy Donovan, Louis' direct descendant.

While a player like Petrovic is too advanced for the modern era, Donovan only needs to copy what Louie did with Mozart Rauf to unleash basketball's Mozart offensive firepower.

Petrovich does not have the Knicks' N.UCLA system to support his performance.

Donovan designed a large number of high-post dynamic offenses tailored for him.

It can be said that Donovan is a more fanatical follower of Louis than Pat Riley. Laley copied and copied, but he had his own ideas.

Everything about Donovan is based on imitating Louie.

However, if Donovan simply knows how to copy, he will not be able to bring the Heat to the top of the league.

His characteristic is that he can both copy and teach students in accordance with their aptitude.

The Heat's lineup is deep enough, so he will learn from Louis and play long-rotation 13

The inside players, including Gathers, are all blue-collar players, so use their blue-collar attributes to create opportunities for the outside players.

Although there is no relevant data to prove it, judging from Louis's perception, the Heat's pick-and-roll screen quality should be the best in the league.

Petrovic scored an incredible 40 points.

Next is Joe Dumars. From an offensive and defensive perspective, Dumars is more of the core of the Heat than Petrovic.

Although his offensive firepower is far less than that of Petrovic, he can guarantee a basic score of 20+ in each game. However, Petrovic's status in each game is like rolling a dice, sometimes it is 1, sometimes it is 3, sometimes it is 1, sometimes it is 3, and sometimes it is 1.

Time is 6.

Dumars is a lot like Paul after leaving the Rockets.

Control the field like a Dinghai magic needle, stable output, and not soft-handed at critical moments.

The back line exploded, and the wings also flourished.

Reggie Lewis, a guy who Wilson beat up every time he saw him, had outstanding performances.

After arriving in Miami from Boston, Lewis was diagnosed with a heart problem. This was both his luck and his misfortune.

Fortunately, Miami has the best doctors in the world to treat him; unfortunately, like Gathers, his playing time in each game is strictly limited.

Heart problems prevented him, like Gathers, from fully realizing his talents.

Now his style of play gives Louis a sense of déjà vu.

Tonight, Lewis blocked 4 shots for Wilson on the defensive end.

Moreover, 3 of these 4 blocks were completed within 5 minutes.

It was these blocks that made Louis realize who Lewis looked like.

He looks like Kirilenko.

Lewis shot Wilson 3 times in 5 minutes, just like Kirilenko shot Kobe 4 times in 90 seconds.

Compared with Kirilenko, Lewis is a full-time third position. He is more mobile, more threatening with the ball, and has the protection of his teammates, making his offense smooth.

The Knicks didn't feel good offensively, couldn't put pressure on defense, and couldn't find any good way to counter the Heat's onslaught of offense.

107 to 119

The Knicks lost to the Heat by 12 points, ending their undefeated streak in the playoffs.

"I hope that through this game, the fans will understand that New York is very strong, but if you want to say that there is no suspense in the Eastern Conference finals, neither I nor my players agree."

Billy Donovan faced the NBC camera and said energetically.
