The Rest, Only Noise

game2 basically became Jordan's showtime.

What's surprising is not that he dominates the game, but the way he dominates the game.

Three points, three points, still three points.

Jordan was suddenly a shooter, the kind of terrifying sharpshooter who could even make 3-pointers.

Louie was amazed by the speed with which he improved his ejaculation.

In the final half of the second quarter, his three-pointer was unstoppable.

Whether it's the bottom corner, the right-wing forty-five-degree angle, or the top of the arc, as long as the ball comes to his hand, he basically throws it.

Whenever the Knicks gave him a bit of space, he would shoot decisively.

When he hit the fifth three-pointer in a single quarter, he raised his eyebrows and provocatively said to Wilson: "The era of you showing off with one-handed shooting is over!"

Is Wilson indifferent?

He certainly wouldn't be indifferent, in fact, he always wanted to respond to Jordan.

This is exactly what Louis cannot understand.

In a sense, Wilson and Jordan's roles were reversed.

Jordan became like Wilson in last year's Finals, and Wilson is like Jordan before this year.

He became egotistical, alienated from his teammates, eager to take over the game with his individual abilities.

From the data point of view, Wilson is not responsible for the rout of the Knicks scene.

At halftime, Wilson had 24 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists.

However, Jordan, on the other hand, scored 38 points in the half with less possession and a more efficient and concise style of play.

Each of his three-pointers is frustrating.

The most frustrating scene for the New Yorkers came at the buzzer of the first half.

Jordan received the ball from the outside, and Wilson rushed to defend. In only 1.7 seconds, Jordan dared to make a fake move to shake him, then quickly shot a three-pointer, and shot lightning-like before the last 0.1 seconds.

The lights came on, the ball went in, and Jordan scored 8 three-pointers at halftime.

"Jordan made seven three-pointers in the second quarter, all of them! His hot touch on the perimeter reminds me of benj last year!"

"Now that the 3-point shot isn't MJ's weakness anymore, it's going to be harder on defense for the Knicks."

After hitting the 3-pointer, Jordan also broke the Finals record for 3-pointers made in a halftime (5 goals) set by Benjamin Wilson last year. It is worth mentioning that last year's Wilson set a record in the last half of the second half of the tiebreaker, while Jordan made 8 of 8 three-pointers in the second quarter. Moreover, this is not only a halftime record, but also a single quarter record in the finals.

Even for shooters in the small-ball era, it is extremely difficult to challenge seven three-pointers in a single quarter of the Finals.

This state of never missing a shot made Jordan involuntarily turn sideways, sway his shoulders, spread his hands, and look like "I don't know why I never miss a shot."

Wilson looked serious.

He shoots more and scores less.

The Trail Blazers led the Knicks by 16 points at halftime.

It seems that they are about to be taken away by a wave.

"That's where Portland is strong, their best player, willing to put a low profile and serve the team," Louie said sincerely. "They've really grown a lot."

"New York isn't going to bow its head here, though."

Even behind by 16 points, there is still light in Louie's eyes.

"This is msg, our home court!"

On the way back to the locker room, Louie met Wilson who was autistic.

There is pain and loss on his face because he knows that his style of play affects the rhythm of the team.

Obviously he got more shots, but he was not as calm as in the past.

Instead, Jordan stepped into his role.

That's one of the many counterintuitive things on the basketball court—people who take more shots don't necessarily get more points.

"Coach, what should I do?" Wilson asked.

If Louie shows him the way now, the benj of the past might come back.

He's still going to be the most reliable player that everyone relies on and believes in.

Of course Louie is willing to hug the beloved benj, if he hadn't seen the real face of benj, if he didn't know that benj was tortured for it, he would have accepted it.

The Knicks dynasty is in tatters, and they'll either rot from start to finish or find a way to redemption that will reconnect the team.

"All these years, I've always been telling you what to do." Louis walked to the door of the locker room, "benj, you should find your way, and I believe you will, no matter where it leads, you Just move forward."

Louis pushed open the locker room door and asked loudly, "Are you ready to fight back?"

"ctmd!" Miller responded loudly, "I wanted to do something special for a long time!"

"Then do a special shot!"

In the second half, Louis started with Mohamed Raouf, Miller, Wilson, Stevens, and Ewing.

In this lineup, Stevens plays at the 4.

But he basically does not do the work of the 4th position, and the fight in the inside relies entirely on Ewing alone.

Stevens' strategic value is to give the Knicks a solid three-point threat on offense -- his corner three-point percentage has been steady at 38 percent this season -- and the ability to switch defenses indefinitely.

Riley's infinite switching strategy is Louis's Pandora's Box.

Once it was opened, the nature of the game changed.

The 2018 Western Conference finals is a sign of the return to the original tactical annihilation in the small-ball era.

Aiming at the Warriors' fully-armed Rockets, using the same five-small lineup to play infinite defenses destroyed the Warriors' pass and cut. All the strategic points of both sides were destroyed and strangled, and finally evolved into one star singled out, one pick and roll roll call, before Paul fell. , the Rockets are the dominant side.

In theory, it's similar to how the Knicks blew the Celtics in 1988.

Any sport to the extreme has a back-to-basics side.

The Knicks brought the Celtics back to the original basketball rhythm of "no blood is not a foul", and the Rockets took the Warriors to an isolated island where they had run out of ammunition and food. Compared to the Warriors, the Rockets owe a bit of luck, and now, Louie wants to know how lucky they are.

Playing with the Blazers, who have two unsolvable players, to play infinitely switch defenses and fight for the stars’ personal ability to catch defensive weaknesses, is it self-defeating?

The answer did not disappoint Louis.

Playing unlimited defenses on the defensive end forced the Blazers to change the rhythm of their game and let the stars do more singles.

This is the way they like to attack.

The personal ability of the stars is their advantage. The Knicks suddenly came here, and of course they took it all.

But when it comes to the defensive end, the Blazers have a big problem.

The Knicks' 1-4out lineup can easily name one of Sabonis, Thomas, and Barkley through the pick-and-roll.

Sabonis was entrenched in the penalty area and could not come out, and Ewing or others would take the ball and shoot.

It doesn't matter if Barkley doesn't come out. How strong Barkley is on the offensive end is how much he pulls his hips on the defensive end.

The Knicks took aim at his hole and played whatever they wanted.

Thomas belongs to the type who looks at the defensive momentum, but the effect is mediocre.

Miller, who claims to be "to vote for something special", has no time to talk big.

In the second half, he used five three-pointers in return to sound the horn for the Knicks to counterattack.

Riley didn't think Louie would suddenly use their infinite switch, much less infinite switch play.

Forcing the Blazers' five-star formation to play a heads-up duel, it seems to be courting death, but it is actually an effective solution to the game.

Because in the first half, the Blazers played well with the selfless cooperation between the stars~www.wuxiaspot.com~ It was just when they wanted to continue that momentum and expand their lead. Suddenly, the Knicks used their defense to tell them: cooperation is all it takes Don't think about it, if you have the ability, you can kill me with your personal ability.

The 16-point lead turned into seven in one quarter.

The Blazers' lead was in jeopardy, and in the fourth quarter, Thomas and Jordan stepped up.

First Thomas scored 7 points, bringing the Blazers' advantage back to double digits.

Then, Ewing dominated the penalty area, and Wilson's mid-range shot was extremely accurate.

This also aroused Jordan's sense of crisis.

Jordan, who scored 38 points at halftime, scored only 4 points in the third quarter. In the fourth quarter, he scored 10 points in a row when the Blazers were most dangerous, and with a great performance of 52 points, he helped the team win the series. 's first victory.

119 to 108

It was the final score, and Jordan perfectly balanced the trade-off between the individual and the team.

It's no exaggeration to say that Jordan tonight was the most powerful perimeter player Louie has ever seen.

Wilson's performance is not bad, whether it is the individual offense in the first half or the performance of integrating into the team in the second half, he has helped the team at a critical juncture.

If the comparison object is not Jordan, his performance should be the best of the game.

Aside from Jordan's 52 points, Wilson had 38 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists tonight.

"Mj was always mj, and he helped the Blazers win a game."

"However, if the Blazers want to beat the Knicks, others also need to exert their strength." Hubby Brown said objectively, "Last year's finals have proved that to beat the Knicks, it is only by the strength of one or two superstars. It's not enough, the Blazers have to be a better whole."
