The Rest, Only Noise

Jordan tried—look, tried—with his back turned and sprinted to the rim for a dunk.

He was so suffocating that the Knicks forbade him to do anything with the ball.

Only dunks can vent his anger, and he can't wait to screw all the rims off.

When he turned around, he could see the hidden technical content in it. People who didn't have absolute confidence in their own skills couldn't do this action.

Jordan managed to throw off Rodman, the basket was right in front of him, and it only took three steps to complete the dunk, the first step forward, then the jump, and finally the smash.

Wilson flew out from the weak side, his long arm, reaching the height of the rim first, swung down, probably trying to block the shot, but didn't touch the ball.

Jordan dodged the block.

Judging from the results, it was not completely avoided.

Wilson's hand, which failed to block the shot, slapped him in the face.

It was a loud "pop"!

At the moment of landing, Jordan lost his mind and waved his hand to Wilson's face. It was hard to tell whether it was a slap or simply hitting Wilson's cheek with his hand.

Wilson put Jordan's hands away, and the two of them were face-to-face, swearing at each other mouth-to-mouth.

Seeing this scene, Louis scratched his head helplessly.

The way the Blazers deal with provocations or blows is very immature.

They do dare to fight back, but what do they do after they fight back? they do not know.

For the Knicks, it's like turning the page when you're done, stop thinking about the conflict just now, and play when you should.

The Blazers' mentality is close to collapse.

The conflict between Jordan and Wilson occurred in the final moments of the third quarter.

The result of this conflict was that Wilson was called for a technical foul - two Ts added, and he was ejected.

At this point, expelling a Wilson has no effect on the overall situation.

After this game, Wilson's data in the game was 10 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists.

The data is general, not indispensable.

Because when the Knicks attack, Wilson is often marked by Jordan. He was the player Jordan hated the most. Once Jordan wanted to prevent someone, he could often succeed. Even with the Knicks' system covering, Wilson was very uncomfortable to be guarded by him.

Moreover, Louie did not specifically design tactics for Wilson, allowing him to challenge Jordan a lot.

He loves seeing Wilson do nothing under Jordan's defense, and it helps him grow.

Likewise, Jordan didn't play well tonight.

Under the constraints of Jordan's law, after three quarters, he only scored 15 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists.

The score on the field was 80 to 59.

The 21-point gap entered the fourth quarter, and the Blazers' hope of winning was getting smaller and smaller.

The fourth quarter, the Knicks first offense.

The ball was given to Ewing, and the Blazers gave up the double-team, leaving James Edwards alone.

At this time, Ewing, who has scored 18 points, 16 rebounds and 8 assists, is working hard for his second triple-double in the finals.

The Blazers don't flank, he just plays singles.

Under Louie's command, he usually doesn't have many singles chances, and it all depends on the Blazers for opportunities.

Ewing took a step forward with the ball, stopped, and picked up the ball, which was not a realistic fake, and shook his opponent - Edwards jumped up, but was dodged by Ewing, and picked up the ball with his left hand. Hit the board.

"Although the footsteps are very formulaic, it is enough to play insiders of Edwards' level." Louis stretched out his hand and waited for Ewing to give a high five.

Ewing got excited and slapped Louie's hand hard.

"Yeah!" Louie's hand hurt from being beaten, "Don't be so excited even if you're going to win the FMVP!"

Zhao Yuanzheng reminded Louis: "Patrick has scored 20 points."

"Another 20+15?" Louis asked unexpectedly.

"There are still 8 assists and 5 blocks." Zhao Yuanzheng sighed, "It's really a dominant performance, even if it was Bill Russell back then, it was nothing more than that!"

Louie couldn't listen to others rant about Ewing: "Hmph, it sounds like you've seen Russell play!"

"I haven't watched it, but someone on our team really played with Russell." Zhao Yuanzheng glanced at Phil Jackson secretly.

"Oh, what did Phil say?"

"He said Patrick was ten times stronger than Russell."

"Just listen to him!" Louis couldn't even hear such words. "Where is that guy?"

At this time, Ewing slapped Drexler's layup.

He was like a beast, chasing the ball and flying out.

"Fuck!"

Ewing flew to save the ball, and Stockton passed it to Rodman who was going down fast.

Rodman

Under the fast break, flying dunks, also scored 12 points.

"Are you okay?" Louis asked.

Ewing shouted excitedly, "It'll be fine after ten more falls!"

"What is Patrick's current average per game?" Louie really felt that Ewing was the FMVP.

Zhao Yuanzheng said directly: "Not counting this game, Patrick averaged 18 points, 16 rebounds, 5 assists and 4 blocks in the first three games of the final."

"It's interesting. It's not enough to compare with Russell, but it can still be compared with another center who won the Finals MVP, also called Bill."

In the end is the Blazers too poor inside, or Ewing is too strong, this question Louis has reservations.

But tonight's Ewing is indeed dominant.

This may be the first time in the playoffs since he has been in the industry for three years that he has fulfilled people's expectations for him back then.

Although Louie despises Ewing verbally, in his heart, if Bill Russell comes to the contemporary era, he will not play better than the current Ewing.

The eras are different and there's no comparison, but Ewing is playing the best game he can at this stage as a center modeled after Russell.

He locked the restricted area by himself.

Jordan's law made it difficult for Jordan to get close to the basket, and the glider desperately hit the iron from long distance.

The only thing left for the Blazers is the speed of defense.

They haven't given up yet, so they're back on defense very quickly.

At this time, 84 to 59, the difference between the two sides is 25 points.

Drexler's strike, and its aftermath, may have been more than a statistical miss.

The Blazers quickly retreated, and Stockton led the fast break with the ball.

Ewing ran along the middle to follow up.

Stockton stopped on the outside, and a second later, Ewing went straight down from the top of the arc, and he raised his hand for the ball.

Stockton's passing, there is no need to doubt.

The ball was in Ewing's hands, and he didn't need to adjust. He stepped on the paint and jumped with all his strength, like a full-strength orangutan, and Larry Nance tried to stop him.

Ewing's long arm swung the ball over his body completely, and the most humiliating dunk that Nance had ever encountered in his career fell on his head.

Boom!

Joe Crawford's icing on the whistle brought time to celebrate and roar for Ewing's perfect snap.

"It's over." At that moment, Louis decided that the outcome was already divided.

Ewing clenched his fists and screamed in the sky.

In an instant, the Memorial Coliseum became a zoo, with a gorilla barking wildly on the field.

When Ewing hit a penalty, Adelman requested a suspension.

With less than eight minutes left, the Knicks trailed by 28 points.

In this era when everyone doesn't shoot 3-pointers very often, the fourth quarter is not over, and they are behind by 28 points. It's like being sentenced to a death sentence that will be executed 8 minutes later.

Whether the Blazers change the main force or not, Louis will change.

He left Ewing to score a triple-double on the court, and the other four players were Hornacek, Stevens, Rodman, and Song Tao.

The Blazers replaced half of the main force.

When Jordan was still on the court, Louie specifically told Stevens to give Jordan some extra care and informed Ewing: "If he wants to come to the penalty area to score, I don't care if the ball is scored or not, bringing him down is still the only indicator."

Ewing and Jordan are good friends in private, and now that they have beaten the Blazers so badly, the outcome is already decided, and I feel very sorry to hear what Louie said.

"is this necessary?"

"Do you think my expression seems to be discussing with you?"

"Not like."

"Then don't **** nonsense, he didn't fall when he made a layup once, I'll **** kill you!" Louie threatened like a villain.

It was also Louie's most controversial decision in the 1988 Finals.

Meaningless garbage time, the Blazers let Jordan play for a while, in order to let him brush up good data.

But Louis did not give him the opportunity to brush the data.

Stevens defended closely without fouling, and Ewing also blocked shots without fouling.

They played as if the game was deadlocked, and allowing Jordan to score would allow the Blazers to overtake.

In the round that angered the fans the most, Ewing blocked the road in front of him, Jordan slipped under his feet, and Stevens attacked from the flank, hugged Jordan by the waist and threw him to the outside, throwing him three or four meters.

"OMG~~!!"

"That's the biggest boo I've ever heard!"

"Portlanders hate the Knicks!"

"Stevens' move is too big!"

"He's still provoking MJ!"

Stevens roared fiercely after he hugged Jordan: "Hugh

Want to come to the penalty area to score! "

"It's a bunch of thugs!" said Bill Shanely, an announcer at the Memorial Stadium, angrily. "They're not going to give their opponents any respect!"

It's obviously garbage time, everyone is swiping the data, but Jordan is still tormented.

Phil Jackson really wanted to know what Louie was doing.

"Coach Lu, do you have a personal grudge with MJ?"

"Actually, before the finals started, we had a good personal relationship." Louis laughed dryly, "Now, um, you know."

Jackson asked inexplicably: "Then what is the purpose of your doing this?"

"If you have to find a purpose..."

At that moment, Louie's expression was terrifying, and Jackson saw a perverted smiling face: "I'm just enjoying the feeling of stepping this mighty guy under my feet."

His unabashed smugness, his disgusting intent to take the suffering of others for his own pleasure, convinced Jackson.

He is really enjoying it.

"Don't you think MJ just lacks a proper coach and 20 pounds of muscle?" Jackson asked. "Once he has that, he's going to be our biggest problem."

"I know, and I know better, that he's going to get this," Louie said.

Now, Jackson doesn't understand. Knowing that Jordan will be terrifying in the future, why did he offend him so much?

He wouldn't understand, just like Louis himself didn't know why he tortured Jordan so much to force him to become stronger.

If you insist on why, there may only be one answer.

He hopes to beat the strongest Jordan;

He hopes that the future Jordan is ten times stronger than today, and he hopes that one day, the world will understand how strong Jordan is, and what kind of team he controls when he suppresses Jordan;

He wants all the guys who seem to be ruling the league to end up at his knees;

He wants to dominate this, and if that's why he does it, then this is the answer.

He likes to destroy the strongest individuals, to ravage them, and the result of their failure. It doesn't get any funnier than this.

The Blazers replaced Jordan with five minutes to go.

After that, Louie made substitutions at will, until Ewing scored a Duncan-style quadruple-double of 24+20+10+7 ~www.novelmt.com~ to replace him.

The Blazers' bench quality is not the same as that of the Knicks, so the point difference is still increasing.

Fans left the stadium in large numbers because there was no point in staying here.

Half a minute before the end, Dale Ellis, who was on the active list but never played, took off his uniform.

"I always felt that it would be unfair to you not to let you feel the atmosphere of the finals."

Louie tapped Ellis on the shoulder.

"Go, we couldn't get here without you."

In this way, all the thirteen people on the Knicks' activation list came out tonight.

With 20 seconds left, Dale Ellis made his first three-pointer in the finals, running his most familiar high-post dynamic offense.

With 19 seconds remaining, the Blazers gave up the offense.

...

...

5-4-3-2-1.

Darrell Garretson blew the final whistle, 119 to 81, the Knicks defeated the Blazers with a big score, swept the opponent 4-0 on the road, and won the third championship in team history.

Abuse and popcorn and all kinds of food that Louie can't tell.

The hateful boos made Louis unable to hear the cheers of the team members.

That's what winning away from home deserves.

They win and that's all that matters.

The rest is just noise.
