The Rest, Only Noise

Chapter 1074 Now that it has happened, let it keep happening

June 18

The eve of the Knicks and Blazers Game 7.

Rudy Tomjanovich once again invited Louie to watch the game.

This time, Louie thought about it for a few minutes.

He really felt that this might be his last chance at Madison Gardens as the Knicks president of basketball operations.

If the Knicks win, ending it with a seven-peat sounds great.

If the Knicks lose, at least he also accompanies the team to the end.

Unwittingly, Louis made "leaving" a prerequisite for considering it.

"I'll be there."

Rudy asked, "Can I trust you?"

"I'll be there."

Louis said again.

Rudy didn't ask anymore, he didn't know if he could trust Louie.

He also had a strong feeling that Louie was leaving.

"Whether you come or not, we will win the seventh game." Rudy said stubbornly, "I will never let the championship break in my hands."

Louie said with a playful look: "Unless you plan to quit after this year, the Knicks' consecutive championship will be broken in your hands sooner or later."

"It's not tomorrow night either!"

Louis made a decision to go to the scene.

It's not a difficult decision at all.

Then, the time came to the fateful day.

The final battle between the Knicks and the Blazers.

Like Louie, the Americans are fed up with the Knicks and Blazers finals.

It's like the Warriors and Cavaliers have faced off in the Finals four years in a row.

The first time was amazement, the second time was attention-grabbing, the third time was thrilling, the fourth time... Except for the fans on both sides, the third party's feeling should be "don't fight again".

The difference between Nito and Qiyong is that there is only hatred between them.

By the time the game is over, no matter how long it has passed, the client will never mention his opponent with a respectful attitude.

Some are just hate.

In fact, this level of hatred is rare in sports history.

Even Russell, the Celtics leader of the 1960s who knocked Jerry West out of depression, said at the former's retirement ceremony "the greatest affirmation a contender can get." , is to gain the friendship of your opponent, Jerry, hope you will always be happy" such words.

And you're never going to hear Ewing or Wilson say that to any of the Blazers.

It is this kind of mutual hatred that makes the sixth game unfold in such a **** way.

The game would have won the hearts of fans if it wasn't for the oj Simpson cop chase.

But in the days after that, the New York media looked back at Game 6 in a unique way, finally letting fans know what happened that night.

Many have their sights set on the ultimate battle of the series.

"Will Portland still fail this time?"

"Sports Illustrated" published a long article about the Trail Blazers.

This long article reviews the history of struggles after the Blazers drafted Jordan.

According to statistics, after Jordan joined the Blazers, they played a total of 18 life-and-death battles, and the Blazers only won 4 of them.

Against the Knicks, they had good chances to win the championship last year and the year before, and both ended up being beaten.

Can you win this year?

Illustrated writers argue that the Trailblazers have no reason for optimism.

Sabonis and Thomas' season-ending losses are like anathema to the Blazers.

Bill Walton's crown seemed to drain the team's luck, and they were entangled with bad luck.

That night, Madison Square Garden was full of people.

Excited New Yorkers filled every seat.

With the next flashpoint in the Simpson case still waiting, fans can finally set their sights on the final game of this crucial series.

Louis and Lorraine appear after a long absence.

The surrounding audience stood up to salute him.

"Can you really give up so much love?" Lorraine asked.

Louie waved to the fans with a smile and said softly, "I don't know."

Since both the Knicks and the Blazers have the main force absent, neither side's starting lineup is familiar to fans.

The Knicks' starting lineup is Stockton, Wilson, Stevens, Kemp, and Ewing.

The Blazers' starting lineup was Jordan, Cauchy, Barkley, Mason, and Clifford Robinson.

Due to injury, Riley is ready to play a seven-man rotation tonight.

The Knicks have an absolute advantage in the lineup.

The Blazers couldn't take the injury anymore, and the Knicks didn't care.

They didn't forget how the Blazers won Game 6. Game 7, they wanted to beat violence with violence.

However, Stern did not want to see the seventh game become a replica of the sixth game, so he strictly ordered the referee to tighten the scale of the game.

After taking three consecutive fouls at home, the Knicks figured out the referee's bottom line and decided to change their playstyle.

That's certainly a good thing for the Blazers, but the Knicks aren't discouraged.

Without violence, it doesn't mean that you can't play an intense game.

The Knicks will make it clear to the audience that there is one game in which the commentator laments: "There's really no love between these two teams."

Ewing dominated the inside.

From the start of the game, the Blazers had no one to match him.

In front of him, Mason was as weak and helpless as a toy.

Double-teaming can work, but Ewing's teammates won't watch him get caught.

They're bound to run, either get to the rim to catch Ewing's pass and go straight to the rim, or run to their sweet spot to catch and shoot.

Ewing gave the Knicks a 10-point lead in the first quarter.

Riley swapped Mason for Nance, and the other four remained the same.

In the second quarter, Robinson and Jordan's three-pointers allowed the Blazers to chase a wave of points.

But Wilson's response and Doug Christie's layup gave the Knicks a 9-point lead.

Barkley got it right.

Kemp stepped forward to confront him.

Jordan continued to shoot three-pointers and felt good.

Stockton's backup Sam Cassell also had a dazzling performance.

This is the last picture the Blazers want to see.

The Knicks are all open, and they need stars to keep things going.

Jordan and Barkley tried their best, but every time they tried, it was like a fist on cotton, and it didn't work.

Because the Knicks always have someone to stand up to their offense.

Or core players like Ewing and Wilson.

It's either Cassell or a nobody like Christie.

The only variable in the game was Cassell's sprained ankle. When Stockton was expelled by an oversensitive referee for a second-degree malicious foul for digging Jordan's egg, fans didn't know who else the Knicks could let the ball control.

Tomjanovich called out Mohammad Raouf, who had been left out in the cold for so long.

Fans knew he was the one who desecrated the Stars and Stripes and the "mouse shit" that stigmatized the Knicks.

But the fans didn't boo him, and no one cheered.

It's like there's no one on the floor until he hits 3-pointers without interruption.

Raouf's first shot was a pull-up 3-pointer from Ewing's pick-and-roll, and he knew his feelings were coming.

Then there was Ewing's catch-3-pointer after attracting a double-team.

The Blazers defense became flustered.

The Knicks' system has begun to move, and Raouf is in a hot state, so let's play with him as the core.

During the Louis era, Raouf had unlimited firepower.

Although Rudy has withdrawn this authority, his teammates still regard him as the privileged player who can shoot at will.

Ewing went to great lengths to pick-and-roll and screen for him, time and time again.

Wilson is often just standing in the corner to open up space.

Christie is running and scoring, and his all-round skills are destined to win a place in New York.

Kemp was the one who brought the fans a huge surprise.

The older and older Ewing will sooner or later give way, and he is the most suitable heir.

This successor to the Iron Throne is like a functional role player, as Raouf gets rid of the high wall of defenders.

Raouf made 5 of 7 shots in just a few minutes and scored 15 points.

Then, he started feeding back his teammates.

To limit his catches, the Blazers need to use more manpower.

In order to prevent him from shooting, the Blazers chose to double-team without a brain.

He just needs to get the ball out at the right moment.

Jordan did his best.

Barkley rarely defends so hard.

Mason, Nance, Cauchy, they all used their full strength.

But they were beaten by the Knicks.

It was the Knicks who beat them, not someone in particular.

They start with Raouf's range, around the great center of Ewing, and connect to each other as a complete system. Everyone can attack, no lust, no greed, no frowning extra steps.

They let what was supposed to be a Mars-to-Earth game out of suspense in the third quarter.

The Trail Blazers resisted in vain, only to have more fun for the audience.

Tomjanovich, like Louie, played an 11-man rotation.

Everyone on the Knicks roster has points, rebounds, and assists.

Is there a better team than them?

Louis' eyes twinkled slightly.

3-2-1...

The referee blew the final whistle, the Knicks achieved seven consecutive championships, and Tomjanovich could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Louie had a sense of relief that there had never been a moment when he was more certain than now that the team was perfect enough to not need him.

The Trail Blazers left the stage sadly, and the Knicks went back to the locker room to change into a championship T-shirt and then returned to the scene to attend the award ceremony, and then collectively ran back to the locker room to celebrate.

Louie followed, and just as Camp was about to squirt anyone he saw with champagne, Raouf said, "May I spend half a minute praying to the Lord?"

"What prayer?" Camp asked.

"I want the Lord to know how important today is to me, and I want to thank the Lord for giving me the talent and strength to perform tonight," Raouf said.

Ewing asked, "Will you introduce us to him (the Lord)?"

"If you want." Raouf wasn't sure if he was asking too much.

Everyone hesitated, but Ewing said decisively, "We'll give you three minutes."

"Thank you, Captain," said Raouf moved.

Then ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ McHale exclaimed, "Hey, I haven't retired yet, I'm the captain!"

Louis quietly left the locker room.

Outside the locker room, he ran into Rudy.

"Will you come back?" Rudy asked him.

Louis took a deep breath, "You can do it without me."

"But without you, none of this would have happened."

Rudy wanted to stay.

And Louis's mind has been set: "Since it has happened, let it continue to happen."

With or without me.
