The rest is just noise

"Michael, you said you've been waiting for this game for a year, so tonight's performance is the 'outbreak' you've been waiting for for a year?"

It must be admitted that the New York media is like shitting on the table and peeing in the washbasin.

Mr. Qiao didn't have time to suffer over his poor performance before he was angered by the media.

"Next question!"

"Michael, do you want to talk about your gambling debt to the Solo Dealer?"

"This matter has been explained clearly enough."

"Is it clear? But we still don't know how you met this monopoly."

"Next question!"

Oh my god, how is this Jordan? Isn’t this Mohammed Rauf?

※※※

Louis heard about the media's "difficulty" against Jordan, which didn't sound like good news.

They made Jordan angry. Who will bear the anger?

Of course it's the Knicks.

Jordan is not an idiot like Ewing who talks nonsense when his defense is broken. If he makes him anxious, it is not impossible to score 1,000 points in Game 2.

Therefore, based on the principle of being kind to others, Louis deliberately stayed at the entrance of the visiting team's media room.

When Jordan came out with a gloomy look on his face, he said with concern: "I hope the media didn't embarrass you too much."

"Coach Lu, thank you for bringing such a game, allowing us to wake up from the dream that the championship is within easy reach."

The anger and fighting spirit on Jordan's face cannot be concealed.

"We have felt your desire to defend the championship, and this is the best." Jordan said coldly, "Only by defeating New York, which is at its best, can we wear the crown with peace of mind."

The Knicks at their best?

Louis couldn't help but laugh.

"It seems you don't need my comfort." Louis said calmly.

"Comfort?" Jordan said coldly, "Do you Chinese have a different view of the word 'comfort'? Your players have been giving me trouble all night, and I played a disgusting game."

Game, who do you think they were ordered by? The person responsible for all this actually came to comfort me before winning the series?"

"You're too serious, Mike."

"The comfort I'm talking about is just a euphemistic rhetorical way of rubbing salt into the wound. Since you don't need it, forget it."

Louis knew there was no point in staying here. Jordan not only woke up, but also woke up in a furious mood.

There will be a fierce battle in Game2.

Louis turned around and was about to leave when he suddenly thought of something. He had to stop and turned back to Jordan and said: "I have to say one more thing, the Knicks are further away from the best condition than you are from the championship. I even think that we can't

There is a best situation, because there is no team in this world that can make us reach the best situation. I thought you would be that team, but you let me down tonight."

"If you want to see the Knicks at their best, you must first ask yourself whether you are qualified to do so." After saying this, Louis smiled kindly and left this time.

Jordan stopped talking. He pursed his lower lip into his mouth, seeming to be holding back endless anger.

On the way back to the locker room, Louis kept asking himself, "Louis, Louis, Lee Jae-gan, the devil?"

Didn't he want to comfort Jordan?

Why does it seem to make him more anxious?

What should I do if I get really animalistic and score 1,000 points in the second game?

For now, Louis has no big worries, because the Trail Blazers look extremely strong, but have too many shortcomings compared to the Knicks.

Laili wants to use offense to make up for it, but are the Knicks one of those teams in the Western Conference that were destroyed by their offense?

In addition to their historical defensive capabilities, the Knicks also have the best offensive capabilities in history.

Laili's idea is too naive, but Louis believes that the other party will not be around for long.

He may not be able to solve the Blazers' problems, but he can provide answers.

The Knicks won Game 1, which was both reasonable and unexpected.

Over the years, their performance has been stable, thanks to Louis' hard work year after year.

They have the most advanced system and the most balanced lineup in the world.

This kind of balance usually doesn't seem like much, but in the playoffs, in an atmosphere where opponents will target any shortcomings, the Knicks, who have no blind spots, are difficult to target.

Last year, the Knicks were forced into a desperate situation by the Trail Blazers because many players were injured and the balance of the lineup was broken.

This year, the Trail Blazers have made large-scale reinforcements, and the Knicks' players have made steady progress and are all healthy. For their opponents, the Knicks tonight is also an opponent they have never encountered before.

The UCLA double shot received the most praise.

Wilson and Miller are the Knicks' top scorers and second scorers respectively.

Wilson, in particular, had a heavy task on the defensive end and the offensive end was not the core of the game. However, he scored a team-high 31 points, 6 rebounds and 8 assists. In terms of statistics, it surpassed Jordan's 26 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists.

As a shooter, Miller was equally terrifying. He took 14 shots in the game, including 6 of 9 three-pointers, and scored 28 points and 4 rebounds.

Laili didn't know what the purpose was, but he actually said: "It was Reggie Miller who helped the Knicks win this game."

The New York media thought he was evil.

"Don't you think Benj is the best in the game?"

"We're all used to Benj being outstanding, and for us, that's his routine."

In fact, the best player in Louis' heart is Ewing.

Ewing played 35 minutes today. Although he "only" scored 14 points, 16 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 blocks, he basically completed the matchup against Sabonis.

His presence prevents the Blazers from focusing their offense on the inside.

Although Sabonis is excellent, there is a clear gap compared with Ewing.

This is also related to the different positioning of the two.

Sabonis is not used to being marginalized on the court, and Ewing has long accepted the position of the third or even fourth offensive point on the court.

Moreover, out of guilt, Ewing was more selfless than in the past, which also brought positive effects to the team beyond expectations.

"I'm so proud of your performance tonight."

"However, we are still a long way from achieving our goals."

"Go back and have a good rest. See you tomorrow."

Ewing took off his thick knee pads and soaked his feet in an ice bucket.

The team doctor massaged him.

He didn't say a word.

Wilson left first, then Rodman.

"Boss, see you tomorrow." Kemp regarded him as a god.

Ewing was a man of five or six, and he nodded to Kemp, who was like a younger brother, and that was considered a response.

Seeing him like this, Louis wanted to scold him, but he didn't.

Louis and Ewing's relationship became much more estranged.

However, this alienation was carried out by Louis on his own initiative.

Starting in the semifinals, his nickname for Ewing changed from "Patrick" to "Patrick" because he was disappointed with Ewing.

Every guy who likes to mess with people's mentality is proficient in the art of pulling.

When Louis was disappointed with Ewing, Ewing suddenly became what he wanted to see.

Then Louis couldn't help but wonder, am I being too mean to him?

Do I have no responsibility at all for what happened to Ewing?

Louis does feel that he has no responsibility, but Ewing has played under him for so many years, and they know each other very well and have a tacit understanding.

He shouldn't alienate Ewing because of this.

Therefore, he specially gave the team doctor a look.

The team doctor left with understanding.

"I'm enjoying it," Ewing said dissatisfied.

"Let your lover do the rest. I have something serious to talk to you about." Louis' tone did not allow Ewing to refuse.

Ewing believes that the game is over and the Knicks have won. What else can Louis do?

Is there something wrong with his performance tonight?

"Do I have a choice?"

"I deliberately waited until everyone else left to have a conversation between men. What is your attitude?"

Louis said dissatisfied.

Hearing that Louis was going to have a "men's talk," it was hard for Ewing not to think the worst, and cold sweat began to break out on his neck.

The last time Louis had a "men's talk" with him, he scolded him so bad that he couldn't eat well or sleep well for the next week.

"Again?"

"What the hell, what do you think I want to do?"

"Aren't you here to scold me?"

Louis had difficulty understanding his brain circuit: "Why do you think I want to scold you?"

Ewing looked at him with a more puzzled expression: "When did you pose like this not to scold me?"

Ewing's reaction made Louis feel helpless, but it also made him see something from it.

Maybe he really has been too mean to Ewing over the years.

Between Ewing and Benj, Louis adopted double standards. This was because Benj rarely let him down, while Ewing often made stupid mistakes. Louis also knew that his double standards would anger Ewing, and then he

He will demand himself more strictly, and by the way, Benj will not dare to lower his demands on himself for a moment.

But it is precisely for this reason that the rift between Ewing and Wilson has been stretched wider and wider. To this day, even Louis cannot control it.

Louis had no excuse in this matter. He thought he was in control of everything, but he messed up.

"You played very well today, impeccable."

Louis' words stunned Ewing.

"Then am I a qualified leader?"

"As for tonight, he is not only qualified, but also excellent."

"Huh, Benjamin wouldn't agree."

How can you make people talk to him calmly when he's such a jerk?

"Then beat him until he agrees, you idiot!"

"Ha! What did I say?" Ewing stepped on the ice bucket and pointed at Louis as if he had won a lottery. "You still said you weren't here to scold me?"

Louis hesitated to speak, his mouth opened and opened again, wanting to say something but nothing came out.

Yes, Ewing is right. Every time he wants to talk to Ewing, he can't control his temper and speaks loudly.

But in the conscience of heaven and earth, this was definitely not his original intention.

"Patrick, I need you to keep doing this." Louis' tone changed, "I need you to keep doing this."

"Wait, what did you call me?"

"Damn, you are such an idiot, can you listen to what others say?"
