The Rest, Only Noise

In the second half of the third quarter, Louie called two timeouts and changed four players, but none of them changed the situation in which the game was tightly held by the Blazers.

Such scenes are both common and uncommon.

It is common for the pioneers to have a terrible feel and state that seems to be favored by gods, no matter how they attack. Unusually, the Knicks' vaunted defense began to falter in the third quarter.

No one can say that their defense is not good, there are many balls, obviously the defense is in place, and the Blazers can still make shots.

This has nothing to do with defensive quality and defensive effectiveness.

The Blazers, who were at their peak on offense, used their all-time best offense to bring out the best of themselves in Game 7 of the Finals.

With 10 seconds left before the end of the third quarter, the Blazers got the ball, the score was 94-72, and the Knicks trailed by 22 points.

"Mj holds the ball, facing Benj's defense, he's coming again!"

"He waved his hand and motioned for his teammates to pull away from left to right. He is sure to handle this round alone!"

"4!"

"3!"

"2!"

"There is no extra action, mj directly chooses to shoot!"

"Shuh!!!"

"Michael Jordan's 'Kill the Knicks' round!" Kostas yelled. "We're going to see a new king!"

97 to 72

With only 1.2 seconds left in the third quarter, with a 25-point difference, Jordan looked grim and shouted, "Don't give them any chance!"

The meaning of that sentence is that even if there is only 1.2 seconds, it is necessary to defend firmly.

At this moment, Louis suddenly returned to his youth in his previous life to watch "Slam Dunk". Sakuragi was the first to return to defense after completing a key tip-up in the life-and-death battle in Lingnan's county competition, because he knew that the immortal path was coming.

Jordan also knew that the centipede was not dead, and that if the Knicks were given any chance, they would seize it and catch up.

An opponent who was too perfect to beat, one who wouldn't let up even 1.2 seconds, led them by 25 points by the end of the third quarter.

The Knicks were almost blocked for a five-second violation. Wilson jumped into the air, took a free throw from outside his 3-point line, turned around, and pushed the ball forward with all his strength with 0.7 seconds left.

It was a desperate shot, because even if it went in, the Blazers still had a 22-point lead.

That ball, very fast, it was still a long way from the basket, the red light went off, the quarter ended, but everyone's eyes were still fixed on the ball until he hit the backboard and fell into the Basket - The garden that had been dull for half a quarter went crazy in an instant.

"It's not over yet!"

Spike Lee shouted, that was the voice of Knicks fans.

75 to 97

The Knicks entered the fourth quarter with a 22-point deficit.

Louis stood silently on the sidelines, the hope of rebirth was so far away, but the abyss that caused them to fall was close at hand.

With just 12 minutes left in the game, the Knicks trailed by 22.

Even if the opponent is not the Trail Blazers, but the bottom team in the league, the Knicks have less than 50% hope of a comeback.

The opponent is the Blazers, a team that won't sit idly by while the lead is swallowed up.

Louie didn't despair because his players didn't make him feel that way.

How does the player feel about him? Is unwilling, is not satisfied.

In the second half alone, the Knicks have done their best defense within the scope of the rules, but the Blazers blew them up with their extraordinary offense within the scope of the rules.

What does this mean? Even the regular finals intensity can't stop them.

It's not that the Knicks are playing badly, they just aren't shooting a dreadful 70 percent in a quarter like the Blazers.

To the dismay of fans, the Blazers felt like they were destined to survive a brutal Game 6 comeback before turning into a flawless team. The offensive performance in the first three quarters is the crystallization of their transformation.

The Knicks should be able to do more...

If a team is going to face a crushing defeat, a complete collapse, that feeling will be clear and strong.

If they don't feel that way, the game isn't over yet, and Louie will have to find a way to change the situation.

All of the Knicks' tactical changes have been shown in the past six games.

Now in this situation, for the Knicks, they can only be loyal to their own rules of the game.

Considering the referee's indulgence in physical contact tonight, Louie believes that taking the intensity of the game to a higher-higher-higher level is the only way they can limit the Blazers' offense. If you don't limit the Blazers' offense, it is impossible to recover 22 points in a quarter.

It's just a requirement on the defensive end.

Offensive side...Louis needs Wilson, who scored 41 points in three quarters, to completely burn his small universe. With the cooperation of the entire team, he will play the greatest individual offensive performance in history on the basis of point calls, and then use this as a basis to drive the team's performance. attack.

If Reggie Miller's performance in the second half of Game 6 was a miracle.

Then the Knicks need to perform a miracle tonight in the fourth quarter.

This miracle is based on the greatest team defense ever, plus the greatest individual performance ever.

Indispensable!

"As of now, I need you to take a closer look at the teammates around you." Louie held the tactical board, but did not draw the tactics upright, "It's not Ewing, benj, Rodman, McHale, Kemp who are standing beside you. ... but a group of warriors, we have been cornered, and now we have to fight the beasts."

"I still believe in you, the foundation of our victory." Louie said loudly, "The starter in the fourth quarter is, benj, Alex, Dennis, Sean..."

Louie read out four names first, and just when everyone thought the last name was "Patrick", they saw that their head coach's eyes fell on "Sinner".

"John."

Not John with the surname Stockton, but John with the surname Sally, John "The Unforgivable Sinner" Sally, who never played for the Knicks since the "Garden of Eden" incident!

"From now on, I don't want to see Portlanders comfortable for even a second, I want them to struggle in endless confrontation, I want them to get lost in rough hand-to-hand combat, we're going to kill and press! I I want you to turn 'murder' into a concrete action, I want to see a bunch of butchers go into the slaughterhouse in a bad mood! I want you to start killing!"

Louie decides to gamble with the murder press on which the Knicks are famous.

Just as Sally was walking out of the queue, Louie grabbed the clothes on his chest fiercely and said fiercely: "I don't care how much sorry you have in your heart, I don't care if you can't sleep at night for what you did, I only give you one chance!"

For Louie's assistants, what just happened was astonishing.

Louie has done things beyond coaching.

Aside from setting up a "murder press" strategy, the rest is up to the players themselves.

Then, the most violent heart attack was carried out on John Selly.

Louie knew that Sally felt guilty;

Louie knew that Sally had been waiting for this opportunity;

Louie knew that as long as Sally was on the court, he would turn into a desperate mad dog;

Louis knew all about it, but he still had to give Sally a blow to his heart, let him go on stage full of pain and suffering, and take out everything in his body to atone for his sins.

Sally's appearance also puzzled several of the commentators.

At a time like this, what can a Sally change?

"I'm optimistic about the prospect of the Blazers winning this game, a mere John Salley, what can he do?" Laimbeer said dismissively.

The tragic master said cautiously: "Bill, maybe you should revisit Game 7 of the 1988 Eastern Conference Finals. You have forgotten how dangerous it is for New Yorkers to be cornered."

"He's not Kevin McHale!" Laimbeer concluded. "He's just a traitor, locker room poison, can't guard against anyone, and I bet that's going to be the most worthless Coach Lu in the Finals. replacement."

Pat Riley expects Louie to fight for his life with a murderous press.

So he adjusted the lineup, replaced Sabonis, and started with Thomas, Cauchy, Jordan, Barkley, and Robinson in the final quarter.

The characteristic of these five people is that they can dribble the ball, and even a 210-centimeter big man like Robinson can dribble a few times in the face of defense.

The most frustrating thing for a team that uses murder press is that everyone on the opponent can dribble the ball so that whoever is forcing the pass to the opponent can't stop the opponent from advancing.

Riley does know Louie, and he knows what the Knicks do at times like this.

But he didn't know enough about the Knicks because he never played against the desperate Knicks. Even in Game 7 of last year, in that close game, the Knicks didn't despair.

Before the fourth quarter, Ewing said to Louie: "I can also press the whole court."

Louie asked, "Have you come up with the limelight until now?"

"No!" Ewing said firmly. "I just wanted to go to war with them."

Louis said: "There will be this opportunity."

After that, the fourth quarter officially began.

The game was soon followed by a scene familiar to Laimbeer, the player-turned-commentator.

That's what it feels like.

The counterattack of the dog jumping over the wall... The Knicks in 1988 did the same to them.

On this day in 1993, this team, which had not been in a desperate situation for a long time, made the same choice again.

Wilson entangled Jordan in the frontcourt. When Jordan chose to force a breakthrough with his first step above the league, John Salley, who stayed in the midfield, rushed towards Jordan like a hungry tiger.

Salley showed up at the most opportune time, blocked Jordan's path and violently blocked the opponent's dribble.

Isn't this a foul?

Even though Jordan is used to high-intensity games, he can't help but have doubts in the face of this kind of defense.

This will be the last lesson he has to learn from the Knicks.

When you're on the verge of winning and it looks like you're going to win, the referee will condone the laggards, even if you're a superstar.

Besides, this is the home of the Knicks, isn't it?

The Knicks used a murder press to force out a Jordan error in the first possession, and Salley picked up the ball and passed it to Stevens on the right wing.

Stevens catches a three-pointer.

"Shh!"

78 to 97

In this way, the difference is recovered to within 20 points.

"Go on!" Louie yelled, "Go on!"

Sally's performance, or rather, the longing in him, was terrifying.

This allows him to show much more energy on the court than other teammates.

Selly's function in the murder press lineup is actually to defend the back.

He's always responsible for the one who breaks.

Therefore, in terms of full-court pressing, his defense is not necessarily better than others. It's just that now, he has a stronger will than others, and execution at any cost.

If Louie wants his players to follow through on his intentions—to defend with murderous ferocity—he needs that kind of guy.

The Knicks have not been forced into this situation for too long, and they have almost forgotten how to fight back when basketball skills alone cannot win.

Salley will remind his teammates of that.

He matched up with Robinson off the ball, but the Knicks' murderous press was defended from the catch.

Jordan and Thomas, whoever gets the ball, can push.

Last time Jordan failed, this time they wanted to give the ball to Thomas.

However, the man against Thomas was Stevens, another mad dog on the Knicks team.

Cauchy's cover helps Thomas escape Stevens.

In an instant, Stevens chose to switch because other teammates helped him fill in.

Thomas thought he had a chance to catch the ball, and in less than half a second, a slender Spider-Man flashed in front of him.

Selly threw the bar horizontally, and while blocking Thomas' position, he used both hands to swipe a heavy elbow, knocking the Smiling Assassin to the ground.

"Isn't that a **** foul?" Riley roared.

This brutal defense is contagious.

Rodman, Stevens, Wilson and Kemp are not good, they were inspired by Selly and took the initiative to improve their confrontation intensity and movement.

This also attracted fierce resistance from the pioneers.

As an offense, the Blazers have been disrupted by the Knicks.

In the second round of the fourth quarter, they didn't even send the ball.

"Beep!"

"Five-second violation!"

"The Knicks' ball!"

Riley cursed the referee loudly, but the referee didn't hear him.

Because the entire garden was occupied by the roar of fans, it was impossible for the referee to hear anything but noise.

Laimbeer undoubtedly committed ptsd, and the Knicks defense brought back some bad memories in his mind: "This **** defense, why can New Yorkers defend like this?"

This sentence of his is more biased than any of the words of Billy Cunningham in the CBS era.

Back then, Cunningham, as the number one road black in the United States, had to pretend to be neutral, and Laimbeer was completely a black fan explaining the game.

Tragic division did not say a word, he knew how the Knicks beat the Celtics.

Bob Costas chose to help Laimbeer pull back: "Indeed, the referee seems to want to make this game more confrontational."

"Give me a hard fight!" Riley roared with restraint, like a red-necked dissatisfied with the status quo.

The Knicks guarded the Blazers for a five-second violation, and the Blazers wanted to return one.

Riley's emotions were clearly out of control.

Otherwise, he should not have such thoughts.

Because expecting a five-man lineup with Thomas and Barkley to prevent a five-second violation of a return is an almost impossible task.

The Blazers focused on marking Wilson, who was the only threatening ball-handler in the Knicks' lineup, but for the Knicks, the Blazers' holes were big enough that not every possession had to be played by Wilson.

Kemp turned sideways, opened his hands, and yelled, "Give me the ball!"

Stevens hits the ball with ease.

Kemp staggered to Jerome Curcy, slammed hard inside, and fluently connected to a turnaround jumper.

"Shh!"

"Just a **** like you trying to guard me?" Camp said conceitedly.

In the early years, Camp's turnaround jumper had the shadow of Ewing's rabbit jumping, and now he has improved the movement himself, Louie is very pleased.

Rabbit's ugly shooting action and Ewing are a match made in heaven. Camp is so powerful, he should have his own shooting action.

Fortunately, Kemp's own modified shot is not bad, not as characteristic as the bunny jump, but at least not a technical move that will make people laugh.

The Knicks chased the difference to 17 points and planned to defend the Blazers three times in a row.

Riley was already furious. A game that he thought should be a solid win had changed. If the reason was that his players were not good enough, he would go crazy.

Fortunately, Jordan, Barkley, and Thomas are not without seeds.

Jordan first pressed the referee, then called Wilson a rude overhand foul.

When the Blazers served again, Wilson didn't want to commit unnecessary fouls, so he cut down on extra moves. However, no matter how well a clean defense like this was done, it couldn't prevent Jordan.

Jordan broke through Wilson in an instant, and his explosiveness is still above the top of the league.

However, he didn't even have a chance to break out of his own three-point line.

It's Salley again, rushing off the flank and targeting Jordan's ball.

With Jordan's ability to protect the ball, it was impossible for Sally to take his ball away, but Sally didn't give up until he achieved his goal. He didn't care about his opponent at all, and hit Jordan with all his strength, knocking Jordan directly from the free throw line. Knocked out a few meters away.

"Beep!"

The referee called a flagrant foul.

Sally raised his hand indifferently, without any other indication.

And Jordan didn't take it seriously. He clapped his legs and got up, and persuaded his teammates who wanted to help him out.

Riley finally couldn't take it anymore, no matter how good their offense is, if the Knicks play like this, they will definitely be able to limit them.

The only way to fight them is to fight violence.

With Seley's villain, Riley called out Mason, McDaniels to replace Thomas and Cauchy.

Strictly speaking, this is not the Verdun line of defense.

Because Barkley is still on the court.

This is also a careful thought played by Riley. He not only wants to face the Knicks head-on, but also retains Barkley, a Jordan-level attacking general.

Seeing the Blazers' substitutions, a smile appeared at the corner of Louie's mouth.

If you want to achieve great things, you need to persevere. It is the same in any industry.

If you give up halfway, you are doomed to not see the rainbow.

Riley wanted to start his own era, but the loss in Game 6 made him lose the courage to follow through, because the Knicks are too strong, because this is an era of defense, and the Blazers' offense may be in the Knicks. Restricted in rough defense with no lower limit.

If this was the way the Blazers built their team, Riley might have held on, but they started with the Knicks as a blueprint. Just because Thomas and Sabonis joined, this team has another possibility.

In essence, the main personnel of the Blazers are still defensive.

Now they have a big lead, the penalty scale is very loose tonight, the Knicks players are starting to go crazy, Riley, as a coach with the same mind-set as everyone else, he can't throw everything like Louie in Game 6, Stubborn, choose to use defense to fight against the Knicks, and then believe that Jordan and Barkley's attacking ability can hold the victory for them.

There is nothing wrong with this idea.

Riley's shift, defense-to-defense, Verdun defense against murder press, is, in the eyes of contemporary pundits, an option that leaves no chance for the Knicks.

"As long as the Blazers have the same level of defense, and then bet on MJ and Charles on the offensive end, the Blazers will win."

This sentence is said by the tragic master.

And this seems to be the most stable decision, but it is also the decision to leave a silver lining for the Knicks.

The Knicks' defense is stronger than the Blazers, and the Knicks will only have the advantage in head-to-head.

Wilson had a hot touch tonight, and his form was on the table. He was obviously stronger than Jordan. He had scored 41 points in the past three quarters. On the Blazers side, although Jordan was also in excellent condition, he was not as good as Wilson, and Barkley was tepid.

There's only one situation where the Knicks can beat the Blazers.

Wilson maintained the fiery touch in the first three quarters, his teammates provided full support, did not compromise on the defensive end for a second, limited the Blazers as much as possible, and hoped that his chemistry would be perfect as the game progressed.

For these to happen at the same time, the Knicks need a flashpoint.

The source of this explosion is John Sely.

His malicious foul had a certain impact on Jordan, causing the latter to hit one of two free throws, and the Blazers almost made a mistake after serving.

They put the ball in McDaniel's hands.

His opponent was Stevens, and under his pressure, the X-Men were forced to play the ball.

He was too hasty with the ball and chose a very poor pass position.

It was in the short corner on the left. Clifford Robinson received the ball, and Rodman immediately pressed the defensive pressure forward, pushing hard, making a terrible threat to the ball, and his hand was aimed at Robinson at all times. ball.

Robinson chose to attack with the ball because he found a "flaw" in Rodman's defense.

However, as a three-time dpoy, how could Rodman easily leave a hole for his opponent?

That flaw is a trap for the Knicks.

The moment Robinson set off, Kemp dropped Mason, clamped Robinson from the upper line, and forced him out of bounds.

Robinson made the best of an uncontested double-team, jumping up and passing the ball to Jordan from beyond the arc.

Stevens rushed over and made up for it in time.

Jordan turns the ball to the right.

This pass will completely tear the Knicks defense, and the receiver is Cauchy.

What Jordan could never have imagined was that the Knicks had a man who was constantly running. That person is Sally. He defended from the top of the arc to the bottom corner, then chased out the outside line and turned to Cauchy. Only he kept running at full speed, so he was the only one who could complete the defense.

He did more exciting things than cover, he was in place before the basketball fell into Cauchy's hand and broke the pass.

He's more of a beast than anyone!

I saw Sally roaring and chasing after the basketball, stepping on the court without reservation and flying up, hugging the ball, and throwing it to Rodman who got off the first time.

Then, he fell heavily to the ground, and no one cared because the Knicks couldn't waste a second.

Rodman completed the counterattack in four seconds.

82 to 98

With a 16-point difference, the Knicks destroyed the Blazers' possession for the third time.

These three rounds, Sally is the key Mr.

His performance shocked the audience so much that people forgot why Louie didn't use him all the time and blamed him for why he's only using him now.

and then? After Rodman completed the counterattack, Salley took only three seconds to come to the frontcourt, ready for a new round of full-court pressing.

"Sally is a sustainable fuel, he's lighting up the pitch!"

"There are 10 minutes left in the game, 16 points difference, everything is hard to say!"

At this point, Riley couldn't stand it anymore, and he growled at Jordan: "Michael, are you **** letting New Yorkers kick your **** like that?"

"Stop talking nonsense, Pat!"

Jordan responded angrily.

"Fuck it back if you don't want to hear my nonsense!" Riley looked almost insane.

Riley is one of the biggest victims of the East's **** game style, if not including the players. Confrontation has always been a fine tradition for teams in the East, but in the late 1980s, the Knicks led by Louie took that tradition up several notches.

So much so that the word **** is no longer enough to describe its performance.

Barbarism and brutality are closer adjectives.

That's why Riley reacted violently when the Knicks fought back fiercely.

He knows how his team has fallen to the Celtics and Knicks in the past, and that kind of thing will never happen again.

Riley forgot that Jordan was also a victim, and he learned the Knicks in 1988.

Perhaps Riley thought Jordan couldn't feel the pain and couldn't be as angry as he was. If he thought so, he was wrong. Jordan was a morbidly competitive guy, and he didn't need that many failures to hate it.

He had to respond in his own way to the Knicks' sudden full-on confrontation.

Beyond the three-point line on the right, Jordan and Wilson were one-on-one.

Jordan's center of gravity dropped as his right hand dribbled forward, and suddenly, the three-time dpoy Rodman suddenly appeared like a special scene in a horror movie for scaring.

Rodman on the left, Wilson on the right, this is almost the most ferocious defensive duo in active service.

Jordan couldn't get out of the defense.

It's not just him, whoever comes, can't get out of the defense.

But Jordan didn't need to get rid of the defense. He dribbled the ball laterally to the left, and after the free throw line, he jumped up and down one step inside the three-point line, his body seemed to be "rippling" in the air, and both Wilson and Rodman's defenses were poor. millimeters, unable to cover the ball.

The ball in Jordan's hands fell into the net with a perfect arc.

"Shh!"

"Two is not enough!" Jordan roared arrogantly.

100 to 82

"This is the Trail Blazers' first sports goal since the opening of the fourth quarter in nearly two and a half minutes!"

"Is Michael going to start?"

As Kostas finished speaking, Laimbeer laughed and said, "If he doesn't start the Knicks, he will end the game."

Facing the Blazers' Verdun defense, how to get the ball to the frontcourt is also a problem for the Knicks.

In order to preserve the infinite possibilities on the offensive end, Riley chose not to use a complete Verdun defense against the Knicks' murderous press.

The existence of Barkley makes the Blazers' Verdun defense a natural loophole.

When Jordan led his teammates to deal with the Knicks with the intensity of John Salley, Rodman had an idea and chose to send a risky long quarterback pass from the backcourt.

So the ball came to Stevens in the frontcourt.

The Blazers didn't expect Rodman to pass like this, but their defense was fast, and Stevens didn't attack after receiving the ball.

He patiently waited for his teammates to come to the frontcourt.

Wilson ran behind Stevens, and the two made a hand-to-hand pass.

Wilson got the ball, and Jordan followed him to the left 3-point line.

"Benjamin Wilson has scored 41 points in the first three quarters, and if it wasn't for his active offense, maybe the Portlanders would be able to pop the champagne at halftime," Bob Costas said.

"In Game 7 of the finals, facing the Blazers, who are known for their defensive strength, Benj scored 41 points in three quarters. What's more amazing is that his shooting percentage is nearly 70%." The tragic sighed, "Even this Play, the Blazers also led the Knicks by 22 points by the end of the third quarter."

Commentators and critics marveled at Wilson's efficiency and the Blazers' strength.

But Wilson just followed Louis's instructions and launched the roll call tactic.

This is the secret to his efficiency.

The touch is part of the reason, and his state is part of the reason, and most of his shots come from the roll call tactics, which is also an important reason for his high performance.

In addition to Jordan, the other four players on the Blazers field, such as Barkley, Robinson, Mason, McDaniel, are all players who can't stop him in a one-on-one state.

Barkley's natural loophole is not mentioned. Although Robinson has the ability to roar the gods, he is too tall to deal with Wilson's breakthrough; Mason is too cumbersome, and the speed is also difficult to match Benj; McDaniel is the most feared in the Blazers team. The thugs, but the thugs do not mean that the defense is excellent. In fact, there are very few players who can be called defensive elites among the executors who are famous in the history of the NBA. McDaniel also couldn't stop Wilson.

In other words, as long as Jordan is delayed by the pick-and-roll and his teammates have to choose to switch, then Wilson will have an excellent opportunity to call.

It was Wilson's first possession since entering the fourth quarter.

Jordan survived by a fluke. Use the same defensive strategy that the Knicks used against him — backing off screens and putting shots on pick-and-rolls — against Wilson.

At the moment when Jordan chose to back off the screen, Wilson received the ball and made an emergency stop without any hesitation, and pulled up and shot from beyond the left three-point line.

"Shh!"

"Benj's personal 44th point!"

"At the same time, it also helps the team to catch up to 15 points!"

85 to 100

Wilson's face was frosty and he shouted loudly, "Let's guard them!"

There are always people who like to talk about leadership. Isn't what Wilson is doing at the moment an excellent performance of leadership?

The problem with the Knicks is that their clear leader isn't Wilson.

Louie couldn't help looking at Ewing.

Whenever this happened, he would look at Ewing's reaction.

Unlike before, Ewing didn't show any jealousy or desire. He stood up, with a towel over his shoulder, and roared like a gorilla: "Defense! Defend! Defend!"

At this moment, Louis felt the happiness that Coach Anxi felt in the Battle of the Mountain King. Great leaders can be found but not sought after, and the Knicks have two great leaders at the same time.

They were once disjointed and incompatible, but now they are closely connected, sharing weal and woe.

Will they lose?

Will not.

Ewing led the teammates off the court to cheer, and invisibly brought strong mental strength to the teammates on the court.

Wilson touches Jordan's ball in the middle of a press defense.

They fell to the ground for the floor ball.

And the person who finally grabbed the ball was Sally, who completely put his personal safety in the back. He jumped forward regardless, slapped the ball into Rodman's hand, and landed sideways. This is what Louie can do. Worst way to land that comes to mind.

A fan wanted to help Sally up, but he was ruthlessly rejected: "I can still play, leave me alone!"

He propped up his body with his hands and caught up with his teammates in the counterattack as soon as possible.

The motivation that such hard work brings to teammates on the court cannot be measured by data.

The Knicks' counter-attack went smoothly in Wilson's hands.

That was his 46th personal point, but apart from the idlers off the court, who cares?

87 to 100

Despite his valiant performance, Sally injured his arm from the erratic fall from that diving save, but he was so strong that no one saw him hurt.

Sally's injury inevitably "exposed" two minutes later.

In these two minutes, the game was intertwined, the Knicks increased the intensity of the game, and the Blazers were also willing to escalate the game to deal with the opponent's pursuit.

When it comes to positional warfare, Jordan and Barkley are both options to break the game.

The two of them scored a tough 5 for the Blazers in those 2 minutes.

The Knicks' offense was centered on Wilson, and in those two minutes, they were not forced to death by the Blazers' defense once, and they carried the ball across the half court without a hitch. Wilson once again seized the gap where Jordan encountered the pick-and-roll and chose to retreat to the defense. Kemp grabbed the offensive rebound to complete the second attack, and Stevens cut in to pick up Rodman's high pass for a layup.

105 to 94

At this time, with only 7 minutes left in the game, Salley rammed Crawford Robinson like a mad dog, knocking the opponent's body out of bounds from the right three-point line.

No one knows why referee Nolan Fann (;fine) didn't call a foul.

Riley was furious, "What the **** are you looking at?!"

The players didn't even have time to complain and get angry. The referee didn't blow the whistle and the game had to go on. Selly was the quickest to react, knocking Robinson off and chasing the basketball.

Another ball that was out of control and about to go out of bounds.

If it doesn't get it under control, all the hard work Seley and his teammates put in this round will be in vain.

Knowing that his body couldn't fall to the floor again, Sally took off on one foot, and awkwardly used his left hand to scoop the ball back. In the next instant, his body landed on his side again.

Wilson took the ball forward, and despite Jordan's retreat, he couldn't interfere with his counter-attack.

Under heavy pressure, Wilson counterattacked with dunks, 96 to 105.

"With Benj's dunk, the Knicks pulled the difference back to single digits with 6 minutes and 54 seconds left in the game!"

"If I remember correctly, benj just scored his 50th personal point?"

At this moment, the audience at Madison Square Garden, whether they are ordinary fans or celebrities worth billions, have become believers of the "Wilson Cult". They shouted his name and dedicated their best to his amazing performance. cheers.

In the corner of the court, the Knicks and the Blazers were injured at the same time.

John Salley broke his shoulder and arm and couldn't get up.

Clifford Robinson landed on the back of his head and was delirious when he was knocked off the field by Selley.

Team doctors on both sides took them off the field on stretchers.

Riley also called for a timeout.

It only took 6 minutes to lead by 22 points from the end of the third quarter to 9 points now.

He didn't have time to figure out what wrong decisions he had made.

The score has clearly told him that the arrangement just now was a failure.

Since defense against defense is to be used, Barkley's loophole should not be kept.

If you want to keep the Barkley showdown, don't even think about defending.

"Calm down! Cheer up! Don't look at the timer! No one's allowed to look up at that **** timer again!" Riley exclaimed, "Think about how we played in the first half, think about us How we played in the third quarter, we can do it in the first three quarters, and we can do it in the fourth quarter!"

Robinson's injury left the Blazers' Verdun defense in tatters. Riley simply gave up the idea of ​​stabilizing the situation with defense. He had to admit that this seemingly most stable plan gave the Knicks a chance.

With a big lead, he forgot how the Blazers got to this point, and it didn't rely on defense!

Defense is the strength of the Knicks!

Their forte is offense! It was with the invincible offense in the first three quarters that they were able to come this far!

"Isaiah, mj, Chuck, Cauchy, Anthony!" Riley pointed to the tactical board and said, "From now on, strengthen the offense, from the free throw line to the basket, our offense must form a straight line, directly Destroy them! The New Yorkers were 9 points behind with 22 and we have the ability to get to 22 with 6 minutes left! We have the best players! The best power forwards The best center! We are the best team! We are the best!"

On the Knicks side, Louie also didn't push the murder to the end.

At this stage of the game, neither side has any reservations. Louie knows what adjustments Riley will make, and Riley also knows what adjustments Louis will make.

Louie replaced Stevens and the injured Salley, replaced Miller and Ewing, with Wilson, Rodman and Kemp.

Louis draws five circles on the outside line, with only one word on it - "roll call".

If Raouf is not present, "calling" is Wilson's exclusive tactic. If Louis only has "calling" on the tactical board, it means that he is the absolute core of the field, and everyone must play according to his rhythm.

Is this a problem? There is absolutely no problem!

With nearly seven minutes to go, he's already scored 50 points, and there's no better way for him to lead the offense.

Louis finally asked, "Do you know what to do?"

Everyone looked at each other, as if they didn't know how to answer.

Ewing thinks Louie is actually asking him.

He said calmly: "I will be his most loyal bulldog."

With Ewing taking the lead, others followed suit.

"Then I'm benj's beagle!" Miller snorted. "You know I like to bark!"

"I'm benj's hunting dog," Camp said.

Rodman finally said, "I'm benj's guard dog."

"Then go barking, you bastards!" Louie exclaimed.

The changes in most things cannot be captured by the naked eye, you can only feel the difference seriously.

But the Knicks have changed so dramatically.

They are changing every second.

Yesterday's Knicks are different from today's Knicks, even the Knicks in the first half and the Knicks in the second half, the Knicks in the third quarter and the Knicks in the fourth quarter are different.

Standing beside Louie, Tomjanovich sensed something strange about his old partner—his breathing quickened, his body trembling uncontrollably.

"Louis, what's the matter with you?" Tomjanovich asked.

"Rudy..."

Louie whispered, "What do I have to do to keep them?"

After returning from the suspension, Isaiah Thomas's change of direction proved that Riley's adjustment was correct.

107 to 96

"We'll end the game with a 20+ point lead!" Thomas yelled.

No, you will not.

The Knicks responded to Thomas with action.

Wilson dribbled the ball into the frontcourt and his loyal bulldog, Ewing, came to the top of the arc for the pick-and-roll.

After just suspending the first few rounds of testing, the Trail Blazers no longer dared to use the method of back-and-forth to defend.

Therefore, switching defenses has become the most ideal choice.

Anthony Mason tries to block Wilson, and he has a strong tight end that allows him to play all three forward positions.

However, a strong physique is good for hand-to-hand fighting inside, but not good for defending Wilson.

Wilson broke through it at a speed that Mason couldn't match, and slammed into the inside for a dunk.

98 to 107

That was Wilson's 52nd point.

As Wilson returned to defense, Ewing gave him a high five.

Although the Knicks no longer use murderous press to deal with the Blazers, there are still four members of the defense standing on the court.

This means that no matter what defensive strategy they decide to employ, the defensive pressure they bring will not diminish.

The difference is just starting defense from the frontcourt, or defense from position.

Thomas punched Wilson and was blocked.

The smiling assassin who wanted to rewrite the score was unsuccessful. Wilson saw through his attack and rotted to the free throw line.

Jordan came to pick him up, and he was stalked by Rodman.

The moment Jordan touched the ball, Kemp stepped forward to double-team.

For the Flyers, passing the ball to the open Mason seems like a good option, but he doesn't believe Mason can score at this time.

So Jordan opted for a double-team glide jumper.

"Shh!"

Jordan's goal left the fans disappointed for a while.

However, this sentiment was fleeting, and they believed that Wilson would call back.

Jordan may be a stronger player than Wilson, but at least tonight, Wilson is unstoppable.

He has already scored 52 points, and the offense is bound to continue.

The Blazers' almost frantic physical confrontation caused Wilson to give up his consecutive offense, and he passed the ball to transfer the pressure.

Kemp gets a chance and makes a high jumper.

"boom!"

"Rebounding - grabbed by Dennis!"

The moment Rodman grabbed the rebound, Wilson was already at the top of the arc.

The ball is out in no time!

Almost at the same time, the high Kemp screened for Miller.

Wilson, who received the ball, was completely unaffected by his fiery personal touch and passed the ball to the right without hesitation.

Wilson's passing and Miller's movement are like alarm clocks that go off every day, so punctual, so appropriate, this is the perfect chemistry, this is the perfect understanding, this is a fantastic tactic, this is the best. Good basketball!

Miller hits a three-pointer - shhh!!!

101 to 109

"Perfect tactics, the Knicks don't just rely on benj!"

Laimbeer asked himself in shock, or in disbelief, "You actually passed the ball?"

"Honestly, that's the scariest thing about benj," said the tragic man with empathy, "anyone who has played with him will admit that he is the best contender, not only with crazy fighting spirit and exuberant energy. Energy, and all-round skills, he can bring everything to the team. But his biggest problem is that sometimes, his desire is too strong, he always cares too much about certain things... But now, he let us Knowing he can control himself, he's scoring 52 points on over 70 percent shooting and then passing decisively when he can, just to create better chances."

"Can you get more out of a player?"

If Louis had a chance to help Wilson answer the tragic question, his answer would be yes.

The man who almost died at the hands of thugs on the street because of his youth and frivolity is benj;

The person who was once defeated by Bird in the Eastern Conference finals was benj;

The perfect gentleman who takes away his negative character and plays the saint is benj;

The person who was alone in the finals and didn't talk to his teammates and just wanted to solve problems alone was benj;

This is ignorant benj, this is ignorant benj, this is benj in dream, this is benj in reality.

How many people dare to say that you know your true self?

How many people rejected the self, how many people embraced the self?

Now that benj has found himself, he no longer has to cater to anyone, he just needs to be himself.

It was all Louie got from Benjamin Wilson and all he could give.

The Blazers also have great players, and it is precisely because both sides have bright stars that this game will be pushed to an unprecedented height.

After the Knicks' three-pointer succeeded, Buck responded with a tough back.

111 to 101

In less than 15 seconds, Wilson's shot was interfered by Jordan and missed.

However, the Blazers had no chance to fight back, Ewing hit the rebound, Kemp grabbed the rebound, and then gave Wilson.

Wilson didn't worry about missing shots at all, because he had his most loyal bulldogs, hunting dogs, and guard dogs at the rim.

It doesn't matter if he misses, someone will help him get the rebound!

It was this kind of thinking that allowed him to roll over and pull up under Jordan's fiercest defense.

"Shuh!!!"

"Our past glory has become a grave," Wilson said without turning his head. "But there are no corpses in it. It's you who will lie in it, Michael."

103 to 111

Trail Blazers supporters grew uneasy.

The point difference is shrinking, and even if Riley has been replaced by the most powerful lineup on the offensive end, it has not changed.

Because the Knicks rely on Wilson's offense and three-headed rebounds inside and Miller's three-pointer to ensure a smooth offensive. The Blazers, on the other hand, needed to face the Knicks' four-defensive lineup as the intensity of the game became more and more intense.

There was a turn that made them fear.

23 seconds later, the Blazers didn't find a chance, and just as they were about to make Jordan's desperate 3-pointer, Wilson, Rodman and Kemp appeared at the same time.

Deadly defensive smell, top athletic ability, scary talent—Jordan couldn't see the rim at all, he couldn't shoot, and the ball took 24 seconds to violate.

When the referee called the Blazers a violation, the Knicks five people on the court, and others off the court, let out a frenzied roar.

This also brings the atmosphere of the garden.

For the away-playing Trail Blazers, the Garden has turned into hell.

The deafening noise is ringing every second, and the sound wave is still intensifying.

For Louie, Madison Gardens has never been so pure.

It got so moving, like a naked Sophie Marceau in the middle of the field, everyone was cheering for the Knicks.

Then, 105 to 111, an alley-oop dunk from Ewing.

Jordan also made a mid-range shot in the face of boos from the audience.

113 to 105

Then, Jordan pressed Wilson full court.

Wilson, he thought, would be obsessed with personal victories.

When Wilson found that entanglement with Jordan would delay the dribble over half court time, he chose to pass the ball to his teammates.

He started to run.

Ewing pick and roll, good bulldog.

Camp stepped forward to cover, who dares to say that he is not the most conscientious hound?

Rodman handed the ball to Wilson, and he carried out the work of guarding Benj to the end, using his body to knock Jordan, who was trying to chase to the end, away.

Wilson made an emergency stop, jumped up, and made a three-pointer.

"Shhh!!!!"

That's his personal 57th point, who the **** cares?

108 to 113

The Knicks caught up to 5 points with only three minutes left in the game.

The longer he coached, the more Louis became convinced that the role of a coach was endless.

Now, he doesn't need to do anything other than stop the game when the time is right.

There are always games where players need to be their own heroes and win with their own power and style.

From the last six minutes, Louis was moving every second.

He had thought that the Knicks could not reach the heights of the 1984-1988 Celtics, and he was wrong.

This team has surpassed the Celtics and other teams he's known, and they're the best.

He couldn't help being proud of them, but he couldn't help feeling lost because he didn't know how to keep this team.

Because, beautiful things always stay for a short time, and then disappear forever.

Jordan shot arrows on horseback and scored 2 points for the Blazers again in an extremely passive situation, which was also his 40th point in this game.

The Blazers immediately made people see the extreme of defense, or the extreme of hand-to-hand combat in the next 20 seconds.

Their average defensive ability can't be compared with the Knicks, but Riley makes them dare to step on their feet, lift their elbows, swing their arms fiercely... Whatever they do, as long as the referee doesn't blow, as long as they can stop the opponent, they will do it.

This may be the most unacceptable defense, but the Knicks are used to it.

They will not be guarded.

Wilson drew fire and passed the ball up.

The Blazers rotated, struggling to fill the defense.

This rotation lasted for 8 seconds, and eventually a problem occurred with 2 seconds left in the attack time.

Sean Kemp got the ball on the perimeter, and the opponent forgot that he could also shoot a three-pointer, but no one stepped forward.

"Sean Kemp's three-pointer??!!"

"In!!!!"

Kemp roared loudly and quickly retreated.

111 to 115

Only 2 minutes and 18 seconds left in the game.

Jordan knew a 4-point lead wasn't safe, so he wanted more points.

He felt that he had an obligation to stand up and lead the team out of the quagmire.

Jordan is eager to crown himself with the old king's blood donation, and he's convinced he has the ability to rewrite the current situation.

When you have a chance to be a hero, why not?

Jordan suppressed the rhythm of the game and didn't give the Knicks a chance. He changed direction, stopped and shot.

117 to 111

As before, Wilson did not choose to call back immediately.

He still regards himself as a bait, a bait with 57 points that opponents cannot refuse.

But the Blazers were determined, except for Wilson and Miller, the rest of the Knicks would not have a hard time shooting in the mid-to-long range.

The Knicks are running the ball, the Blazers aren't rotating as fast as they are, but they're not out of position, and they've met the defensive requirements.

In the final seven seconds, the ball returned to Wilson's hands.

Ewing's pick-and-roll successfully lifted Sabonis out.

Even the Lithuanians were forced out, indicating that the Blazers' defensive rotation has reached its limit.

Wilson's stride shot past Sabonis' defense like a shooting star. Mason jumped from the side to get a tough foul, but he struggled to knock it away, the whistle blew, and Benj, who kept his balance, shot in the air.

"Boom!"

“bbbbbbbbbbbenjjjjjj!!!”

Wilson walked to the free throw line and took five seconds to settle before shooting.

"Shh!"

"Benj's 3-pointer was his 60th," Costas said. "It's only two points away from Elgin Baylor's 61-point Finals record set 31 years ago. Difference!"

Baylor was at the scene. After Wilson hit a penalty, he stood up and shouted, "Boy, break my record!"

Presumably Costas and Baylor were the only people in the garden who cared about Wilson's score.

Others have long since turned into robots who only cheer for the home team and demonstrate for the away team in an irrational frenzy.

114 to 117, the difference between the two sides is only 3 points, with 1 minute and 31 seconds left in the game.

Every next ball is related to the game, and the Blazers will naturally give the ball to Jordan.

At this juncture, Jordan doesn't want to put his hopes on the shot, and his breakthrough is more threatening.

Even if the Knicks' help defense is unparalleled, he will try.

Jordan was still Jordan, and he was the deadliest ball handler on the court.

Even if his teammates couldn't open up the space, he could pass Wilson in a single step after changing direction, break through, and score the ball to Barkley in the siege of Ewing and Kemp.

Barkley wanted to make a dunk, but was fouled by Rodman in the most brutal way and fell heavily to the floor.

The rough-skinned Barkley was not injured. He got up to get revenge on Rodman, but was pulled away by his teammates. The chaotic scene subsided after only ten seconds.

The deep hatred echoed on the court. Barkley was angry, but his hand was not soft, and he made two free throws.

119 to 114

1 minute 12 seconds

At this time, the Blazers suddenly requested a suspension.

Riley disrupted the offensive rhythm of you and me on the court, which is also the basic quality of a good coach.

It would be great if the Knicks could be interrupted by this timeout, and if not, they could also use the timeout to rearrange.

Louie didn't make any substitutions, and Riley replaced Sabonis, who might be slowing down the rhythm, with Jerome Cauchy, and let Mason play center.

The Blazers first used a 2-3 full-court press to force the Knicks to slow down.

The Blazers' full-court pressing is not for the primary purpose of grabbing the ball. What they want is to increase physical confrontation and control the rhythm of the game.

Jordan defended like a madman, forcing Wilson to pass the ball.

Then, from the moment Wilson passed the ball, he felt like he was possessed by Beverley decades later, harassing him like a role player. Because of Wilson's superstar status, he has an easier time than Beverley when it comes to making certain defensive moves.

When faced with the Knicks' off-ball screen, Jordan would use all his strength to squeeze. This kind of defense that squeezed past the screen was a test of core strength and the angle of squeezing.

Jordan, who played his full off-ball defense, was perhaps the best off-ball defender.

He made it difficult for Wilson to catch the ball, and the Knicks had to find other answers.

Incredibly, the Knicks' ball didn't stop even when Wilson couldn't get involved in the offense.

It was first in Ewing's hand, then handed to Miller.

Miller passed to Kemp again.

Kemp turned and drove to the basket and was covered by Mason, and then gave it to Miller on the perimeter. Miller moved to the top of the arc—the **** were passed wonderfully, and each transfer path made people feel that it was the best position.

But what's more terrifying is the Blazers' defense, and even Barkley didn't make any omissions in this round.

The top of the arc that Miller finally passed was exactly where Wilson was.

Wilson, who was not involved in the whole process, finally connected to the line with the help of his teammates.

At that moment, there were only 1.6 seconds left in the attacking time. Wilson had the ball and was unable to make a standard shot. He could only forcefully pull under Jordan's defense, increase the arc, and then believe in himself.

"Shuh!!!"

117 to 119

Wilson broke Baylor's single-game scoring record, but no one cared.

The last 48 seconds!

Riley wanted to call a timeout, but heard Jordan's roar: "I can get rid of them without calling a timeout!"

Yes, Jordan can, he has always done it.

Riley was a controlling coach, but he couldn't challenge Jordan's status on the team.

Because this is Jordan's team.

Riley decided to keep the timeout, not only out of trust in Jordan, but also because the Blazers were still in the lead, and even if Jordan didn't finish the offense, there was still room for adjustment.

45 seconds, that's Jordan's halftime dribble.

There were 42 seconds left when Jordan brought the ball to Wilson.

Jordan was confident, but not arrogant, and in order to make sure he was safe, he called in Barkley's pick-and-roll.

At that moment, Rodman temporarily decided to double-team Jordan.

Because he feels that in this situation, Jordan won't pass the ball, he just wants to decide everything alone, that's why he's not as good as Wilson, Bird, Tragic!

The emergence of Rodman turned the situation around.

Knicks fans thought Jordan was going to make a mistake.

Wilson and Rodman's arc top double-team is unsolvable!

But Jordan slapped the ball from the back and sideways, slid his body forward, and took the ball through the middle gap of the double-team!

Ewing's defensive awareness leading the game made him ready to make up defenses, and it was because of his presence that Jordan failed to score directly.

Jordan, who had penetrated the Knicks' perimeter defense, used his speed to lead Ewing by one position, jumped from the paint area, and was waiting for Kemp's rim protection.

Jordan stretches the ball under Kemp's arm, completes a very advanced drawbar, and gently lifts the ball.

The Knicks' four All-Defensive Team picks were destroyed by him...?

No, when Jordan broke through Wilson and Rodman, the two of them didn't stay put.

Yes, Wilson, like Rodman, believed that Jordan just wanted to do it himself. They caught up, regardless of others, Ewing's defense affected Jordan's speed, and Kemp's block made Jordan have to turn the dunk into a difficult lever. Jordan was one step away from success, and that one step could lead to a permanent mistake.

Rodman used both hands to give Jordan the must-pull layup cap!

Wilson, who followed closely behind, directly grabbed the basketball that was about to fall and lifted it to the top of his head.

Ewing turned to look at the referee and made a pause gesture - "Beep!!"

The audience at the scene couldn't digest so many things at one time, they were completely crazy.

The atmosphere in the garden is terrifying, and whoever comes here will be assimilated into a madman who only knows how to scream, curse, and hiss.

There was support for the Knicks and hatred for the Blazers in the air.

New Yorkers can dismiss their city's home team as trash, but once you conquer them, they'll also give you the greatest love in sports history.

117 to 119

With 26 seconds left in the game, Jordan was blocked for a layup and the Knicks got the ball.

Ewing requested a timeout in time and asked Louie to arrange the final attack for them.

It was a long timeout, and Louie had plenty of time, but he quickly drew on the playboard, the one they were most familiar with—exgericky.

Louie finished drawing his tactics and turned to look at his players.

Louie didn't say who to call this tactic, but the players knew who to call.

Regarding basketball, there is no need for Louie to talk too much.

They played so well for the past five and a half minutes.

Louie saw the faces of each of them, not just the players on the field, but also off the field.

(insert bgm)

"You..." Louis said, "Who can give me courage, fighting spirit and hope?"

Everyone was startled.

"Who can give me the persistence to fight endlessly for victory?"

Ewing's lips parted slightly.

"Who can restore the glory that has been buried in the grave, and let future generations sing tonight's story for us?"

"I can, coach!" Wilson replied.

Louie took a deep breath, he wanted to stabilize his emotions, but he couldn't, so his voice trembled slightly: "Gentlemen, the Lakers died of cowardice, the Celtics lost to injuries, Portland's The momentum is unstoppable, and they want to tear us apart and trample us to pieces, just like countless losers who have bloodied their thrones in history!"

"We'll be a corpse, a wretched soul!"

Louie asked in a hoarse voice, "Who can give me the confidence that we still have the strength to stand up and shake the world?"

"I can, coach!"

Ewing answered along with the other starters.

"Who can show all the energy we are born to have, turn the defeat around, and make the triumphant song sound?"

"I can, coach!"

All players also responded at the same time.

"Who can let go of lust, jealousy, greed and self-deceitful vanity and let me see my pure self?!"

The louder Louie is, the louder the others will respond.

"I can, coach!!"

"Who at this moment, for the glory and dream that we have shed for the past six years, will give everything to finish this game? Who?" Me, who can?!!"

It was the loudest response Louie had ever heard from a player, the unanimous response of all of them: "I CAN, COACH!!"

"Then go on the court and take them down!" Louis pointed directly to the court.

There was no one-hit Jordan who put all his energy into the defensive end.

Just as the Knicks expected Jordan to play singles, the Blazers also determined that Wilson, who scored 63 points, would make the most crucial shot of the season for the Knicks.

Under Jordan's defense, Wilson couldn't catch the ball.

Finally, Ewing came out to catch the ball.

In 24 seconds, Miller took the ball to transition.

Everyone is moving, and violent collisions are happening every second.

Some fell, like Mason and Rodman.

Some run faster, like Wilson and Jordan.

Miller chose to pass the ball back to Ewing.

Ewing has the ball high and the Knicks have plenty of time to activate exgericky (high dynamic offense).

Wilson ran back and finally knocked Jordan off half a position. He knew that the trapeze would immediately entangle him, but it was enough for him to run towards Ewing in a good position.

In the last 11 seconds, Wilson handed over the ball from Ewing in a high position on the left.

Jordan fortunately squeezed past the league's first screen and followed Wilson.

Wilson got the ball out of the arc—with six seconds left in the game and four seconds left on the Knicks' offense.

Ewing mentioned beyond the arc and did the pick-and-roll again.

Wilson decisively dribbled the ball into the pick-and-roll direction, 5 seconds - at that moment, Jordan remembered Riley's order. They had a two-point lead and would rather have the Knicks shoot a two-pointer than a three-pointer, so Jordan squeezed Ewing desperately, even pushing the gorilla's body away with illegal moves.

All of this is just to prevent Wilson from making three-pointers, even if he is half a position behind.

But the moment Jordan squeezed Ewing's body, Wilson's dribble rhythm took a bizarre change as he pulled the ball up—to catch it and shoot? Do not! In less than 1/3 of a second, Wilson exerted force on his feet, and his body retreated to the outside of the three-point line with inertia. Jordan, who was chasing inwardly, lost his target instantly, his center of gravity was completely destroyed, and he inevitably fell forward.

Wilson used a Louis-instructed stepback to get off the most brutal close-up defense in basketball history at the last second, throwing the ball from beyond the top 3-point line.

At the moment Wilson shot, the garden was already boiling, and even a layman who had never watched a basketball game, as long as he saw this scene, believed that he could complete his mission.

Because he lives for this moment!

Looking at the rapidly spinning basketball, Louis forgot the hustle and bustle in his ears.

It's clear the basketball hasn't been bagged yet, but everyone believes it won't veer off course.

For the vast majority of people in this world, this moment is nothing more than an insignificant pause. But for others, the meaning of it all is in this impending moment, don't panic, don't wait, don't give up hope, and you'll never tire of telling this story to your grandchildren in the future because you're there!

“Swish!!!!!!!!!”

"Benjamin's last-minute shot allowed the New York Knicks to overtake 3 seconds before the end of the game!! omg! omg!!"

The Blazers used their final timeout with three seconds remaining.

In the last 2 seconds, Louie replaced Miller with Stevens.

The Blazers need to throw a sideline and then attack within 3 seconds.

They still have a chance, even if it's very slim.

But the Knicks will never allow opponents to find life in these 3 seconds.

Madison Garden made the most terrifying noise in the seconds the Blazers were about to serve the sideline, and they gave the arena a soul of its own.

The players on the Knicks field built an impermeable iron wall.

Jerome Curcy, who was in charge of the serve, seemed to hear a ghost smiling in his ear.

5 seconds,

4 seconds,

3 seconds,

2 seconds,

1 second...

No chance!

There are no seats available!

No catcher!

The movement route drawn by Riley was completely blocked by the Knicks. They did not pause and could not restart. If they violated the five-second violation, it would be equivalent to giving the ball away, and handing the ball over to the Knicks at this moment would be equivalent to admitting defeat. West can only take risks.

But how can you risk a sideline pass in front of the Knicks with four All-Defensive team members? Jerome Cauchy must have been tempted by the ghost - in this position where there is no gap at all~www.novelmt.com~ Cauchy's ball is pointed at Jordan, this intention is instantly detected, Stevens will pass The ball broke, and Wilson flew out, holding the out-of-control ball in the air that no longer belonged to the Portlanders.

3 seconds

When the Garden becomes Eden, not even the star-studded Portland Trail Blazers can take victory away from here.

"It's over! It's over!" Kostas' voice seemed to reach the sky, "The Knicks defended their honor and completed a 22-point comeback in this century game, leaving the world champion in New York, they The era is not over! Their reign continues! What a great victory! What a great team! What a great championship!!"
