The Rest, Only Noise

Chapter 1115: Ghosts in the Garden of Eden

The latest website: "Have we really come this far, even leaderlu can't break the spell of the Lakers? Strictly speaking, the Lakers still have reasons to be optimistic about the future. Because leaderlu is not their head coach now, but In the future, I believe the Messiah will pick up his pointer, and at that time we will have the final answer." - Jack McCallum, Sports Illustrated, May 22, 1995.

The Lakers and Clippers are the final semifinal opponents.

In the East, the Heat advanced early, and the Knicks also solved the young Magic in five games.

The Trail Blazers in the West eliminated the turbulent Warriors in six games.

The day after the Lakers were out, they got a consolation prize from the league.

The league announced the winners of the major awards in the regular season.

Rookie Team of the Year... (Skip)

Do you know who was the most enthusiastic about this winning result?

That is naturally Shaquille O'Neal, who played in 81 games and led the team to the fourth record in the Eastern Conference, averaging 25 points, 12 rebounds and 3 blocks per game.

The three generations of old, middle and young people put this cake away. He watched the excitement for a long time, and found that he had nothing to do with him.

The best defensive team doesn't have him, and the best team doesn't? If you don't get in for a while, then it doesn't matter if you don't get in for the third time?

"David Robinson is better than me?"

O'Neal didn't say anything bad in the interview, just sneered.

In fact, the most iconic thing is that Sampson was not selected to the All-NBA First and Second Teams, nor was he selected to the All-Defensive Team.

In terms of honor, Sampson is not the first center, nor the second center, he and Robinson who are the league's third center have to talk about.

But it is such a person who has only been selected for the third team, but is considered by everyone to be the first center of the moment.

Judging from the winning results, the Heat are the big losers.

In addition to Petrovic's second team and Sampson, Manning's third team and Lewis' second defense, there is no honor to earn.

This is also related to the special structure inside the Heat.

There are too many players on their team, and the ball is divided so much that everyone's stats are not outstanding.

But there is at least one honor that no other team can take away.

On the eve of the division finals, the league announced the winners of this season's regular season mvp.

No player can take that honor away from a Heat player.

Sampson, who averaged 30 minutes per game this season and averaged 22 points, 9.5 rebounds, 6 assists and 2.4 blocks per game, was elected the most valuable player in the regular season.

This is his second MVP trophy in his career.

By the way, the above is about the players. After a difficult selection of the coach of the year, the judges decided to give this honor to Billy Donovan, who led the team to record the best regular season record in history.

If Donovan's regular-season record isn't a record 75 wins, but a record 74 wins, the jury votes for Van Gundy. This is an extremely difficult choice, both of them can afford it, but they can only choose one.

The general manager of the year was undisputedly Lewis Shafir.

Shafir's win is more suspenseful than Sampson's MVP.

Since his offseason series of amazing moves, the award is no longer in suspense.

"Lewis, I congratulate you for an award that I haven't even won."

When Louis called Shafir to congratulate, his heart was a little sour.

He single-handedly created the New York Dynasty, but he did not win the General Manager of the Year Award. Who is to make sense?

"Coach Lu, I'm terrified, if we go down in the East again, I'm going to smash this prize, stomp it up, and throw its scum into Miami Beach."

"What are you afraid of, no one can defeat you."

"Including New York?"

New York... Louie thinks the Heat are better than the Knicks, but if you ask him who wins, he still supports the Knicks.

"What do you think?" Louis asked, "Aren't you confident?"

Shafir said with a smile: "Billy told me that if he can't win New York this year, he will resign. I also think we have a good chance, but... After all, the Knicks are the division of the dynasty that you created by Coach Lu. In the East, No team has the confidence to beat them in the Garden of Eden."

The '60s Celtics won tiebreak after tiebreaker at the Boston Garden, and then sports writers say the garden is home to sprites who bring bad luck to their guests.

The Knicks' seven-peat has created a similar effect.

They were dubbed the Orange Ghosts, and Madison Gardens went from basketball mecca to Eden, where no team could beat the Knicks.

"I don't know the answer either, Lewis, and good luck."

The Eastern Conference finals between the Knicks and the Heat was hailed as a preview of the Finals.

This is of course disrespectful to the Clippers and Trail Blazers, but the Western Conference has no qualifications to object.

Because since 1982, the East has won the championship 12 years in a row.

On May 23, 1995, Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals was played at the home of the Heat.

As observers predicted, the Heat smashed the Knicks at home.

The 35-year-old Sampson played 38 minutes, hit Defensive Player of the Year Patrick Ewing's head a hundred times, missed only one shot, and scored 42 points, 9 rebounds and 5 blocks with a near-perfect performance.

The three-pointers of Petrovic, (Jaylen) Rose and Dumars felt hot.

Manning also has the upper hand against Kemp.

131 to 108

The Heat have continued the horrific offense that has averaged 123 points per game in the playoffs so far.

"Those who are eager to cheer for Miami wait patiently." Knicks coach Tomjanovich said lightly. "We're not finished yet."

Will the Knicks fight back?

People have the question, after such a fiasco, do they have the ability to bounce back?

Such questions should not have arisen. The Heat's strength gave people an illusion, as if they could beat the Knicks in one go.

This is absolutely not the case!

In the second game of the Eastern Conference Finals, the Heat experienced the horror of the Knicks.

Ewing is like a bloodthirsty shaman. Being knocked up by Sampson in the first game did not affect his morale at all. At the beginning of the second game, he dunked with both hands after a pick-and-roll from outside. Horn of the Knicks offense.

The fully activated system makes Miller the most dangerous killer.

His 3-pointers hit a sore spot for the Heat every single time.

Mohamed Raouf changed the rhythm of the game when he came on.

Tomjanovich paired him with Alan Houston, Doug Christie, Grant Hill, Reggie Williams.

This is a lineup with no insiders, but it is full of vitality, and every point has a considerable threat.

When the Heat got used to this group of people, Tomjanovich returned to Ewing and other main players.

The Knicks have been impeccable every step of the way, from defense to offense.

109 to 104

The Knicks ended the Heat's winning streak.

In the third game, the two sides staged the most intense **** battle of the year.

From the first round, the game became brutal.

Those loud names became hand-to-hand pawns, and Sampson and Ewing were just one of them.

Grant Hill, who had high hopes for the Knicks, was lost in such a game.

With 12 points in the game, 0 points, 0 rebounds and 0 assists in the final quarter, he could not find the direction of the game at all.

The Knicks managed to limit the Heat to double digits, but Hill was not Wilson.

When the Knicks needed someone to step up and force a score, Hill couldn't do what Wilson did for New York.

Instead, on the Heat side, Sampson, who was exhausted, gave Petrovic a pick-and-roll.

The European king ended a night of embarrassment with a three-pointer.

The Knicks guarded him for 47 minutes, only to be caught by him at the last minute.

99 to 97

The Heat gnawed through the tough game to take a 2-1 lead at Eden.

In the fourth game after that, Ewing beat Sampson with 35 points and 15 rebounds. With Miller's 10 three-pointers, the Knicks tied the game.

The decisive fifth game was another tragic meat grinder battle.

Injuries started to appear on both sides.

The Heat's top spot on the perimeter, Petrovic, injured his arm by Kemp's anti-joint action when he was trying to rebound at the basket.

Rick Mahone gets smashed in the nose by Rodman.

P-J Brown stepped on Kukoc's 3-pointer.

Both sides did everything possible, and at the most critical moment, Manning dominated the offense and defense.

He's like a more advanced player than Kemp.

A No. 4, who uses a change of direction to make a three-pointer on the perimeter, dribbling away from the defender behind a high post and dunks to the basket.

That's what he did.

3 to 2

The Heat are just one step away from qualifying.

Will the Knicks' reign really end this year?

No one can give that answer until they actually fall.

In Game 6, the Heat led the Knicks by 25 points before halftime.

Everyone is waiting for a new king, but the Knicks are a **** team focused on letting the world down.

The Eastern Conference finals, which focused on 15 million TV viewers, at least 13 million viewers wanted to see them lose.

However, they stifled the Heat with a mutilated murder press.

Miller scored six 3-pointers in the final six minutes of the fourth quarter, repeating Benjamin's miracle in Game 7 of the 1992 Finals.

But this still can't let the Knicks win. In the last ten seconds, the Heat still have a 1-point lead.

The Knicks had the ball, and the brain of first-year rookie Grant Hill was blank. He was guarded to the point of suffocation, and he chose to shoot himself.

"boom!"

Is the Knicks' reign over?

No, the Jamaican orangutan that no one likes smashed Sampson at the rim, grabbed the most crucial rebound of the game, and saved New York City with 0.3 seconds left~www.wuxiaspot. com~Do ghosts really exist? Why, after all this, they still haven't lost?

The Miami natives looked hesitantly watching the New Yorkers show off their power at home, and the series was not over yet.

Sampson patted his face and went to prepare for Game 7.

At this point, everyone knows that when the Knicks play in the Garden of Eden, there seems to be a magical force supporting them.

As long as they play there, no matter how many points the Knicks are behind, they are likely to be chased back.

They don't believe they can lose.

But in Game 7, they didn't have home-court advantage.

This is the first time since 1988 that they have played a tiebreaker on the road.
