The Rest, Only Noise

Olajuwon got his third foul in the final 49 seconds of the first half, and it was an unnecessary foul.

He is in the middle, very domineering, with Ewing behind him.

There is a kind of domineering in him, as long as the ball is passed to him, he has the domineering power to end everything.

But the teammates did not pass, and the outside core of the Cougars, Michael Young, broke through again and missed the shot. Olajuwon was forced to grab a rebound from behind Ewing, and was caught by the referee with a movement in his hand, pushing someone for a foul.

Seeing this, Louis somewhat agrees with Stu Inman's disappointment with Olajuwon.

If we say, Ewing is recognized for his strong inner strength: sacrifice, selflessness, teamwork, hard work, the hardest work in the audience, and toughness.

Then Olajuwon's inner strength is a bit stretched.

In the NCAA, where there is no offensive time limit, unless it is an extraordinary monster like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, the core players will only be guards and forwards who can handle the ball.

Centers will be limited by the zone defense.

Olajuwon can handle all the insiders in the world one-on-one, why doesn't the University of Houston play around him as the core of the offense? This involves a current problem with Olajuwon. To a large extent, he is a black hole of ball power that can only be entered.

He has an unparalleled offensive threat. As long as he has the ball, he must be defended by many people, but he has not yet used his offensive threat to help his teammates attack.

An inexplicable interior killer that can involve multiple defenses, but has no passing awareness, is a very troublesome thing.

The University of Houston is right not to give him the status of the offensive core. If Olajuwon plays the offensive core, his data will be more dazzling than that of Wayman Tisdale (1), but the Cougars will never reach the finals.

Letting Olajuwon break the game as a heads-up player, but not giving him the position of passing the ball every round, is the secret of the Cougars reaching the final.

Facing Ewing in the final, Olajuwon was like Jordan who met the glider in 1992.

He wanted to prove that "I am Xiao Feng, a good man, and he is as famous as you." If his teammates didn't give the ball, he would have no chance.

The third foul in the first half and the fourth foul in the second half came quickly.

Moreover, he would spread his hands every time he fouled, complaining to his teammates.

The whole body is full of negative energy, and this behavior will have a significant impact on the morale of the team.

In the first half of the second half, Olajuwon, who had four fouls, was replaced.

"Now the Cougars are in the same predicament that the Maw faced in the semifinals," the CBS commentator said.

In the semifinals, against Kentucky, who had never lost in the Final Four, Ewing faced the NCAA's most troublesome twins, Tasam Bowie and Melvin Turpin, and didn't play for long because of too many fouls .

As a result, his teammates held on to the period of his absence, and the Exclamations succeeded in taking out the Wildcats.

No one wants to look back on that game, and the Maw's suffocating defense left the Wildcats scoreless for more than nine minutes.

Defense is the key for the Exclamations to stabilize the game after Ewing is off the court.

But cougars don't have that ability.

They were dark horses in the first place, and they counterattacked all the way. When the top player fouled too much, no one could control Ewing.

According to common sense, Olajuwon went down, and Ewing should rule the game.

But Louie saw the Cougars rush down the Exclave's offensive rebounds frequently.

Ewing's habit of not liking the card position, as well as the defense that likes to throw out, has affected his rebounding numbers.

This has absolutely nothing to do with his coach, John Thompson.

No insider is willing to frequently leave the basket and rush to others, which is too exhausting.

Ewing would only do that if the coach asked him to.

The whole team oppresses the opponent. This is indeed the regular way of the Exclamations. They have an unusual dedication to strangling opponents with defense. Every time they play, they will try to make the opponent lose face and keep the opponent scoreless for 7-8 minutes. It's just a small scene for them.

Because of the aggressiveness of the defensive end, the configuration of all blacks, and the leadership of John Thompson, who grew up in the most acute era of racial discrimination and conflict, they were called "Hoya's paranoia."

Although the rebounds are frequently impacted, the problem is significant when Olajuwon is not on the court.

The Cougars have no one to protect the rim anymore.

They just had to watch the Exclamations get the ball to the basket after wave after wave.

Normally, a grumpy Nigerian would jump out and take the fan away, but now, they can only watch.

Despite the huge gap on the inside, the Cougars' championship heart has not disappeared. They persevered until Olajuwon returned to the game and maintained the suspense of the game in the last few minutes.

The Exclave's rookie, lottery-prone Reggie Williams (SG/SF) took over the final seven minutes.

His shot is deadly, he can dribble through, rip open a hole, trick Olajuwon as an idiot in front of him and throw the ball in the air, making Ewing roar like King Kong grabbing a plane at the top of the Empire State Building To complete a dunk.

He seemed reticent, but when he played, there was an unspoken aura surrounding him.

He rebounds, blocks shots, steals the ball, hits the frontcourt, and presses wave after wave, like the leader of the Exclamations.

"What a good player." Louie remembered his name firmly.

He dared not say that Williams would be successful in the NBA in the future, but he did what neither Ewing nor Olajuwon could do in this nationally watched game.

The two future superstars are just supporting roles on the court. They grab rebounds, protect the rim, block positions, fight hand-to-hand, and do things that are necessary but not noticed.

They can't grasp the situation as sharply as Williams.

He knew that to win the game, it only took a wave of climax.

He knows even more that Olajuwon is worried about his foul count, and it is impossible to defend as strong as in the first half.

When he rushed to the penalty area, desperately blocked Olajuwon's shot, picked up the floor ball and threw it to Ewing, who was down at an alarming speed. Gorilla abused the basket in the frontcourt.

An attack that could have been reduced to 4 points has now turned into an 8-point gap.

From then on, it's all over.

"Back?" Auerbach saw Louis.

Louis smiled, but said nothing.

"Just by looking at the defense, we know that the University of Houston can't win." Auerbach is too capable of hindsight, "Georgetown's defense has exceeded the university level."

Louie asked with a smile: "I heard that Coach Thompson has a plan to run for the national team coach?"

"Yes, but he lost to Bob."

Auerbach was happy with the results, he saw some good players, and he brought out John Thompson on the verge of winning a national championship. Could it be better?

"Lucky." Louie didn't appreciate Thompson's coaching style.

He has at least seven NBA prospects on the books, which allows him to play this kind of high-pressure defense that suffocates opponents.

However, if he is asked to take the best college students in the United States to play against the increasingly competitive European powerhouses and the Soviet Union, it is normal for him to be unpopular based on his defensive pressure play.

The premise of pressure is physical and talent.

The body is in front of the talent. Only a strong enough body can give a powerful confrontation. Talent is the icing on the cake. The physical strength of college students is incomparable to that of adults. If Thompson's style of play is applied internationally, it is inevitable that he will be deflated.

What's more, his training of Ewing was a crime.

A player with a super-giant body, a super-giant mentality, a super-giant sense of competition, and almost no talent attributes is a shortcoming, and he actually encountered a poisonous chicken soup coach.

Sad, deplorable, this is a loss for basketball, a loss for the NBA, and a loss for Ewing. Of course, he didn't know it himself, and he regarded Thompson as his second father.

So the clown is just Louis himself, this unrelated father and son with different surnames are in love.

The goal that Olajuwon was covered by Williams~www.novelmt.com~ was of great significance, and the Cougar never recovered.

84 to 75

Georgetown University beat the University of Houston with a 9-point advantage to win the first championship in team history.

The CBS narrator said: "Except Wilt and Ralph, every superstar destined to win at least one NCAA championship. Now, Patrick Ewing has reached Bill Russell, Kareem Kareem, Bill Walton, they're on the same level."

"Humph!" Louis sneered, "Blindly bragging about Jiba, these people are really experts in the science of killing."

Auerbach reprimanded: "Speak less!"

(1) A short and strong forward with mature defensive skills, this kind of player is a big killer in leagues other than the NBA. Tisdale went to the NBA and was able to consistently average 20 points per game with 50% shooting, but that was the only point.
