The Rest, Only Noise

Chapter 991: Perfection is not an option

1 to 1

The Knicks didn't hold onto their home-court advantage, tying the Blazers in the first two games of the series.

This is actually not surprising.

In fact, the fighting power shown by the Knicks is what people are surprised by.

In the eyes of many, the Blazers would easily win the Finals.

Just like they did in the west.

However, the Knicks proved that they still have the strength to defend their dominance today.

It was only after game2 that this reign loosened.

Sports Illustrated columnist Jack McCallum wrote in the second issue of the Finals Special: "Never has a team dominated the league more brutally than the Knicks, but never has a team gave me More confidence than the Blazers. Game 2 was a solid proof that they were ready to overthrow New York and MJ's record-breaking eight 3-pointers in a half made him the most unstoppable player on the planet."

The media touted the Trail Blazers with great fanfare is a normal phenomenon in Louie's view.

It would be strange if the media suddenly became quiet.

The Knicks, who challenged the Celtics back then, were a blast.

Now, the Knicks are "old and yellow", everyone is tired of them winning championships again and again, hate the Knicks, just as naturally NBA fans hated the Warriors during 2017-2019.

While the Warriors/Knicks have the most popularity, they also have the most hostiles.

"Right now, we need to go away and win back the advantage," said Louie.

Ewing believes that Jordan's three-pointer tonight was unsustainable.

He acted as if he had lost his memory and said stubbornly, "We will still let him shoot threes."

Wilson, who was at a disadvantage in the scene, was not as tough as Ewing, but he also refused to admit that he was inferior to Jordan.

"Anyone will have a game like this and we need to respond in the next one."

However, it is normal to not perform as well as Jordan.

Although Wilson's championship ring can be worn on one hand, Jordan has never won a championship trophy.

But the comparison between them is like Durant in the cosmic brave period, although he won fmvp twice, but there are very few third-party fans who think he is better than James.

The media had a problem with Wilson because he took 30 shots in Game 2.

It is not normal to shoot 30 times by yourself when your teammates are playing normally.

Therefore, it is natural that some reporters will raise questions on this matter.

Wilson replied gracefully: "The opportunity came, and I had to shoot."

For this kind of answer, neither the current nor the future reporters can come up with a "bad shot. gif" on the spot to initiate a second wave of doubts.

Likewise, Wilson's teammates have implicitly suggested that someone was taking too many shots.

For example, Miller, who scored 7 three-pointers and scored the second-highest score in the team tonight, said: "When the ball is scattered, it is more difficult for us to be targeted, but our ball is too concentrated tonight. It's something we have to avoid in the future."

In the Knicks locker room that night, Wilson apologized to his teammates for taking 30 shots in a single game.

Louie was there, and he expected Ewing to come out and say a few words.

As a result, Ewing "lived up to expectations."

"Why are you apologizing?" Ewing asked.

Wilson said sternly: "I took too many shots and affected the movement of the ball."

"Don't talk shit!" Ewing asked. "What's your hit rate tonight?"

"50%."

Ewing looked at the others.

"Apart from me, who has a higher hit rate than him?"

No one answered, but the statistics of this game have their own answer.

Outside of Ewing, only Kemp and Yu Tiancan have a higher hit rate than Wilson.

As an insider, their shots and difficulty are far lower than Wilson's average tonight, and the quantity and quality are not in the same order of magnitude. It is meaningless to make a direct comparison.

"You see, no one has a higher hit rate than you, so why are you apologizing?"

Ewing in front of him made Wilson very strange.

In the past, if he made 30 shots in a game, even if he didn't take the same number of shots in the next game, he would have to blame him off the court. Why did he speak for him today?

Wilson was speechless.

Ewing, doing what he thought Louie wanted him to be a 'leader', exclaimed after his dominance over Wilson: "I don't think benj did anything wrong tonight, he hit a high, shot 30 times no problem, we lost because Mickey was so **** accurate!"

McHale exclaimed: "You're not Patrick, who are you?"

From a macro perspective, Ewing stabilized the locker room, reassured Wilson, and did what a mature leader should do.

While this was an obvious correct answer, Louie felt that Ewing was overkill now.

Wilson does shoot 50 percent from the field and hit 15 of 30 shots in a lot of singles, does it seem okay?

So why didn't Jordan do it?

Because the Blazers are star-studded, he has to help his teammates.

But why aren't the Knicks star-studded?

this is the key of the problem.

Jordan sacrificed possession to become a terrible finishing machine.

Wilson, on the other hand, has mastered the ball, shot 30 times at a high rate, and has almost grasped all the shots he should have made, just without considering his teammates.

That's why Wilson apologized.

He knew he had ignored his teammates, so he apologized.

At this point, all it takes is a teammate to point out his mistake, but also to accept his apology, then tonight's problem will be resolved and the Knicks' chemistry will improve.

However, Ewing insisted on being a "considerate" leader.

Louie resisted the urge to play the mood-breaker and didn't give Wilson and Ewing a blow.

Maybe until tomorrow, he'll regret not pointing out the problem tonight.

Because he missed a good opportunity, at least from his perspective - to get Wilson back on track.

Once this opportunity is missed, in the following games, Wilson may appear in the form tonight.

If the dark side in his body is completely awakened, it may intensify, and then things will be irreversible.

Louie watched Wilson unpack in silence.

Wilson got up and left, walked to the door, opened the door, stepped out, halfway out, he left.

"I hope no one is late for tomorrow's training session."

Ewing deliberately said.

"I'll be at the Blue Palace an hour early."

He was addicted to playing the "perfect leader", but was he that stuff?

There is no perfect leader in this world by any standard.

Many people will use Duncan as an example, but is Duncan really perfect as a leader? What will Duncan do when the team is facing collapse and the military is broken? He will silently shoulder everything, and the life and death of the team is tied to his hands. But Duncan isn't a player who becomes unstoppable when he wants to take over the game. So, in the same situation, he is no better than those leaders who can "wake the **** up".

He would never do it.

You could say it's a style and every leader leads the team differently.

Yes, this is a style, there is no perfect style, every successful leadership has corresponding flaws.

Especially the perfection at the moment is a self-righteous illusion.

But Louis had seen the perfect leader.

That was Wilson from 1989-1992.

Wilson was so perfect that Ewing was jealous, and the two had a direct conflict.

However, in order to maintain this "perfect" attitude, the "perfect" Wilson chose a "perfect" way to deal with Ewing.

He finally "sunk" into it, and it also made Louis understand that Wilson, who had been the "perfect leader" for several years in front of his eyes, was also a phantom.

He carried the weight for the team, and was docile and humble in order not to cause extra trouble to Louie. These self-imposed self-settings brought him endless pressure and trouble. Maybe he should thank Ewing, thanks to Ewing's slap, he doesn't have to pretend anymore, he's not perfect, he has a lot of problems like Ewing, he "showdown" in game 2. But he quickly realized the problem, and apologizing to his teammates conveyed an attitude of wanting to rectify.

This is the aspect of him that Louis admires the most~www.novelmt.com~ His nature is indeed not perfect, but after the "perfect person" - "persona collapse" - "Master is not pretending - I am wrong and change it immediately" stage and after years of Ewing pua in a row, he can be perfect.

Louie didn't force Wilson to correct him, it was a gamble he set up himself.

Louis was the only one at the table.

If he loses, then he, who likes to play with people's hearts, will also be played with people's hearts this time, and the price will be the collapse of the Knicks dynasty.

What if he wins?

While Louie is pessimistic about it, it's his only chance, the Knicks' only chance to overtake the 1984-1988 Celtics, and the only chance Wilson and Ewing have to overtake Bird and Sampson.

Perfection is never a choice, but a shackle.

Above is the weight of the crown.
