The rest is just noise

Ewing unknowingly fell into the "good big brother cycle".

A good big brother will not be too harsh on his little brothers.

Maybe Ewing realizes how badly he treated Wilson in the past and wants to make amends. He wants to be a good big brother.

However, a nice big brother with good words could not make Wilson understand his situation.

Ewing did this out of compensatory psychology. Sooner or later he will find that this is not enough, and by then, it will be the key to the problem.

Now Louis doesn't care whether Ewing is qualified as Ernie, he only cares about whether the game on the field goes according to his plan.

Although the Blazers scored a few goals through defensive counterattacks, they had no impact on the overall situation.

Falling into a positional battle, the Knicks were at ease.

Ewing confidently held up Sabonis and yelled, "Give me the ball!"

He is full of momentum and has the momentum of the league's No. 1 center.

Stockton lobbed over.

"Turn around..."

Every action from Ewing catching the ball to taking the shot was guessed by Louis.

When Georgetown University's inside line plays singles, it's like a formulaic jungler in League of Legends.

They have a formula for everything they do. The advantage is that it is stable, but the disadvantage is that it is easy to target.

The Trail Blazers hope Jordan will turn on the king mode.

However, Louis' careful arrangements made Jordan's breakthrough difficult.

With the Knicks' emphasis on his outside three-point shooting, he will encounter close defense in every defensive round.

This kind of defense is like scratching his itch, making passing people effortless.

But passing people is just the beginning of the offensive end.

He passed Wilson, but what awaited him was a chain of double-teams from Miller, Kemp and Ewing inside the free throw line.

When faced with this defense, Jordan could only pass the ball.

When he passed the ball, he discovered that even if he attracted the defensive attention of three people, the Knicks' defensive resources could still spread the defensive influence to the outside.

If the Trail Blazers are the team with the most athletic talent, then the Knicks are the team with the most luxurious defensive resources.

Ewing, Kemp, Rodman and Wilson are all the top defenders in the league. Except for Ewing, the other three are all mobile wing players.

The flanks are rich in defensive resources. The significance of this is not the effect of one-on-one defense against Jordan. After all, Jordan, who has mastered the three-pointer, is the most unstoppable player since the birth of basketball. This league has the ability to deal with the Flyers defender alone.

, very few.

Coincidentally, most of these players are with the Knicks.

Louis did not use the luxurious defensive resources to play a wheel battle.

He likes to "all in", that is, putting almost all defensive resources on the table and making full use of them, such as this one.

The combination of Jukan inside ensures that even if Jordan bursts in, he will hit an insurmountable wall.

Creating insurmountable defensive obstacles has only one purpose, which is to force the opponent to pass the ball.

Only when Jordan passes the ball can the Knicks' defensive resources be utilized to the extreme.

The significance of defensive resources lies in the effects of assisting defense, rotation and defense switching.

How long can the wing players last for a short period of time, the effects of mismatches on individual players and other strengths of the Trail Blazers.

It is impossible for any team to perform perfectly in every defensive round. As long as the defense is switched and rotated, mismatches will occur.

For example, in this round, Stockton, who had just bullied Barkley in a misplaced position, was now caught in a misplaced position by Barkley.

Can Stockton rush to defend before the help arrives? Because the Knicks concentrated their efforts on surrounding Jordan, no one could guard Barkley for a while.

For a team like the Trail Blazers, whose offensive strengths are scattered and four of their five players can serve as the core of the offense, they can ignore any defensive system.

It's a pity that even Riley can't fully unleash the offensive potential of this lineup.

So, the Knicks have a chance.

Barkley knocked down Stockton while dribbling, and none of the referees at the Trail Blazers' home court blew their whistle.

Just when the Flying Pig was about to end the attack with a dunk, Wilson flew up and slapped Barkley in the face, forcing the flying pig to stop.

The way Wilson intercepted Barkley was of course a foul, and the referee blew the whistle.

Barkley was not going to give up. Even though he and Wilson were good friends, he could not accept being intercepted like this.

"You insidious villain!" Buckley yelled angrily, "That's why you like old women. There are no young cousins ​​willing to look at you. They would rather sleep with Patrick!"

Wilson was unaffected and said smugly, "Chuck, I've turned down more young girls than you've eaten donuts."

Donuts are Buckley's favorite, but in order to stay in shape, he hasn't eaten them for half a month.

At this moment, in order to show off his strength, Barkley shouted: "Fuck you, I haven't had a donut in three months!"

"I haven't had a donut since high school." Wilson said proudly. "Chuck, that's why I'm a national champion and you accomplished nothing at Auburn. That's why I can wear my championship ring all year round."

Only one hand, and if you want to win the championship, you can only pray that Mickey is possessed by God every night, you are not worthy of the championship at all!"

Only when Wilson shoots outsiders can his teammates know how disgusting this person's talk is.

Barkley was unable to refute Wilson's heart-wrenching remarks and could only shout angrily: "You're done. Now it's our turn. I will win more rings than you!"

A furious Barkley missed both free throws at the free throw line.

The Knicks counterattacked and Miller scored a layup.

Wilson didn't forget to give Barkley a "greeting": "Thanks, Chuck."

"Fuck you!"

Furious, Barkley took over the Blazers' offense.

Even if Barkley's mind is filled with anger, he is still a difficult player to defend.

Facing Kemp, he directly hit a high jump shot.

Then he held the ball and scored a 2+1 on Ewing.

His bravery has reached this point and cannot be stopped.

The current Barkley is reminiscent of the monster who teamed up with Jordan to push the Knicks to Game 7 of the Finals last year.

Give him a chance and he's still a beast.

The Buckley team narrowed the point difference to 2 points.

Before the end of the first quarter, Jordan hit a midfield three-pointer, and the Trail Blazers actually achieved a lead.

She Neili shouted like a festival: "This is what the Trail Blazers should do at home. They have driven countless Western teams into the abyss here, and even the Knicks can't stop them!"

In the second quarter, the Knicks' lineup looked like this: Reggie Williams, Wilson, Stevens, Rodman, and Yu Tiancan.

Yu Tiancan's court positioning is the same as Ewing's. As long as Sabonis is on the court, he will be one-on-one throughout the game. If he can't beat him, it won't matter.

If Sabonis takes a rest, try to use his height to help the team open up the situation on the court.

With the three core members of the murderous press of Williams, Ross, and Smith present, plus Williams, and Yu Tiancan, who seems to be unable to match the intensity of the game, what can the game become?

Riley did the exact same thing.

The Knicks pressed with murderous pressure, and the Blazers used the Verdun Line of Defense to speed up the game.

Barkley, who was in excellent form, had to sit out.

So the person who had to face the Knicks' murderous pressing team became Jordan.

Except for Jordan, no one else is qualified to enjoy this treatment.

Louis stood on the sidelines, giving a gesture and a code for each round.

That means that the focus of defense in each round is different, and the way the pocket array is arranged in each round is different.

Louie's astonishing on-the-spot command turned Memorial Coliseum into Portland's cemetery.

It can be called a perverted double attack in the paint area, a ferocious and unlimited full-court press, various defensive formations, double attacks combined with extreme rotation, and full aggressiveness, making the defense highly aggressive.

This is not without cost. The price the Knicks have to pay is to give the Trail Blazers a lot of three-point opportunities from the corners.

This kind of radical defensive strategy will be disastrous when faced with a team with excellent bottom-line shooters in the future. As for the Trail Blazers' Verdun defense, including Jordan, their bottom-line three-pointers are terrible.

Therefore, this set is just right for the Blazers.

Anyway, monsters like Jordan always have to be heavily defended, frequently flanked, and deliberately miss the opponent's three-point opportunity. If they still can't make the shot, there will be no more pressure.

Moreover, every time the Knicks rotated outwards and contracted the three-second zone inward, they were very timely, leaving enough lead time. Even if the Trail Blazers passed the ball to the outside, it was the kind of pass that looked extremely embarrassing.

In the end, Wilson proved that he was still the bloodthirsty conqueror.

Although communication with his teammates has been greatly reduced, his status as the leader of the murderous press is unshakable.

Tonight, they took the lead, causing the Blazers to suffer frequent setbacks. They almost collapsed the opponent just by relying on defense.

In just a few minutes from the first quarter to the second quarter, it is not an exaggeration to say that Wilson defeated Jordan completely.

His unshakable belief led the Knicks to a 12-point lead over the Trail Blazers 44-32.

Riley's strategy of full-court press versus full-court press failed.

At least tonight, the Knicks' murderous press was bloodier.

When Wilson came off the court, everyone paid tribute to him. Only Reggie Williams criticized: "Benj, you are too cruel to Portland. I condemn you on behalf of Oregon!"
