June 14, 1990

Game 6 of the NBA Finals at Madison Square Garden in New York.

Just on the afternoon of game day, Louie caused waves because of a word.

A few days ago, Burger King announced that they would use Newman's salad dressing as their main sauce. Then, after trying Newman's salad dressing, Louie made a "fair" evaluation of his colleagues; "Is this for people to eat?"

It was not Louis's intention to attract public attention.

But their series against the Lakers has continued to this day, and has continuously refreshed the NBA's single-game viewing record. The sixth game is expected to be watched by 30 million Americans.

A single game is watched by 30 million Americans. Although it can't compare with the record of 41 million people watched by MLB in 1980, it can't compare with the NFL's Super Bowl, but it is more than enough to kill the NHL.

The record-breaking series will put the league in a good position in the upcoming TV contract talks.

They can raise prices as much as they want.

The Madison Square Garden Company, which owns the Knicks, put on a memorable pregame show for the game.

Judging by the facial expressions, the Lakers were cautious.

It doesn't seem like this should happen to them.

Because they are ShowTime, they are synonymous with gorgeousness, and they are the most thorough interpretation of the four words of entertainment fans in professional sports.

However, in the face of the entertainment displayed by the Knicks, they did not keep up with the pace at all, and even the tragic face could not see the signature sunshine smile.

The commentary lineup for this game is also very luxurious.

Because this may be the last NBA game broadcast on CBS, they have Brent Musberg as the commentator, Hubie Brown as the commentator, and the special guest is Lakers legend Wilt Chamberlain.

Chamberlain is not like another great Lakers center on TV. He's always open to talk, can say anything, and dare to say anything.

Regarding the Lakers' current 2-3 deficit, Chamberlain criticized Admiral Ronaldinho: "David seems to suffer from Kareem-style phobia of big scenes, I am very disappointed with his performance in the finals, he Should rule like Ralph Sampson, but from the scene, he's more like his predecessor."

It's ironic to hear the most infamous exit in NBA history slam the center who has taken the most clutch shots in history for having a "big-picture phobia."

But this is live TV, and Chamberlain knew what audiences wanted to hear from him.

Interestingly, Hubby Brown is more talkative than Chamberlain.

One of them leans toward the Lakers, the other leans toward the Knicks, and they have their own opinions.

In Game 6 of the finals, the Lakers' ShowTime was difficult to unfold at MSG.

Because the Knicks prefer to turn the home into their own show.

After the opening, the Knicks' defense made the Lakers attack for three consecutive rounds to no avail.

Afterwards, their own offenses took advantage of the flexibility of the system to gain success on the perimeter.

Pat Riley has a strategy that has remained the same throughout the six games, that is, he would rather give up the three-point defense than let the Knicks penetrate the basket.

In Game 6, the detached Lakers decided to continue this strategy.

Louis didn't want to target the opponent too thoroughly. He tried to create opportunities by passing and cutting from a high position. After a pass, he found that the Lakers' defense was unmoved, and he was too lazy to respond at all. He was completely unaffected by the passing and cutting. To sell a flaw to challenge the Knicks' long shot.

So, Louie could only replace Hornacek with a serious face but a smile in his heart. He came from the small ball era and knew very well how to take the game when the opponent casually let you shoot a three-pointer - of course It's a **** 3-pointer.

This is the easiest way to win - in the small-ball era, if a team defends the Warriors like this, the game is often boring, so many of Kerr's rude manipulations have become understandable, just like he played The game was dressed in a magical costume and wanted to find the opponent to harvest, but found that his teammates had already gone to the high ground, and the game became boring.

The most painful shooter for the Lakers is Miller.

This guy, likes to work with Wilson and play their pick-and-roll.

The original offensive system was the same as that of the system division. He was like a duck to water in the Knicks, scoring three three-pointers in a row, helping the Knicks lead by 14 points, and successfully attracted Riley's attention.

Riley lost his sanity and asked players to flank the Knicks' ball-handler as much as possible, switching defenses when they could.

However, his players did not implement his tactical intentions.

Only then did Lou find out that Riley seemed to have lost control of the team.

Not many people are willing to listen to him.

When he temporarily took over the coaching whip from Paul Westhead in 1982, no one thought that he could lead the Lakers to win the championship and let the tragic master clean up, and he has been the coach of the Lakers since then.

But that was his peak, and his only peak so far.

Riley, who should have won four championships in the '80s, now has only one.

For the Lakers' youngsters, that championship may have been a bit of luck, not a testament to Riley's strength. Especially after Riley held a small training camp last year, which caused the Lakers to be swept away by the Knicks, his prestige declined rapidly in the team.

At this time, the Lakers' morale was low, and no matter how Riley roared, he could not restore the army's heart.

The game was literally an exhibition game for the Knicks.

Wilson is intentional in assisting. He doesn't know where he got the bad taste. He wants to get more assists than the Tragic Master in a certain game in the finals.

When the system works to the extreme, even ordinary fans can see the beauty of dynamic offense.

Ewing made a high pick-and-roll cut inside, Wilson received a no-ball screen from the flank, received a pass from Stockton, attracted the defense, and hit the ground to the gorilla who came to the basket.

Gorilla naturally dunked without hesitation.

Another ball, Stockton broke into the basket, and distributed to Ewing, Ewing then passed out.

Wilson, who was at the top of the arc, received the ball with one hand and slammed the bottom corner.

The Lakers' defense was pierced, and Miller hit his fifth three-pointer before the end of the first half.

Is there anything complicated about these offenses? No, it's just that Ewing has a good time to block and cut. Even if Wilson is not ready to catch the ball when he cuts without the ball, the ball carrier has no idea of ​​taking the shot alone. Everyone likes to pass the ball.

Just an ordinary pass, the Lakers can't figure it out - they're not the Celtics, they're not some of the other Eastern defense powerhouses, and they don't have that much enthusiasm to study how to guard these bells and whistles, because they themselves are the best. Fancy team, who dares to play tricks in front of them?

But the Knicks' head coach is a badass guy, and his team will always go this far -- beat you in what you're good at.

At this time, the Lakers will either be shown by the Knicks for one night, or they have to show the ultimate defensive discipline and mobility, and make no mistakes in the process before they can save the situation.

Of course, even if the whole world gave up, the tragedian would not give up.

Even if the Lakers were beaten, the Tragedy's performance was perfect.

His 3-pointers, low post play, high post dislocation, and double-teamed scoring are all unparalleled. However, the Lakers have forgotten one important thing - they can go to the finals and get wiped out one after another. Two very competitive western teams do not rely on the tragic division alone.

The first two rounds relied on the Lakers to exert all their strength, and the Western Conference finals played against the Trail Blazers. David Robinson dominated in the penalty area, and it must be considered that the Portlanders were caught in the same civil strife as they were. But these secrets that finally made the Lakers rush out of the West have been completely forgotten by themselves - even if the tragic performer is extremely good, without the help of his teammates, it will not help.

David Robinson is the only young man who can share the pressure, but he always looks uncomfortable under the Knicks' high-pressure defense.

As for Scottie Pippen, migraines have affected his play.

The Lakers have run out of room to adjust, and the series is in its final stages.

Four minutes before the end of the game, the Lakers trailed by 18 points.

Musberg reassured: "I don't think there will be a seventh game."

The Lakers still refused to replace the tragic division.

This does not mean that they do not admit defeat. On the contrary, if there is only Tragic Master on the field, it proves Riley's attitude towards this round of the series~www.novelmt.com~ He believes that Tragic Master has already shown his best performance, others did not.

So, they don't deserve to play with Tragic until the end of the game.

Louie finds out that his opponent has lost his mind, and Riley doesn't seem to know that doing so will separate the tragic player from his teammates.

But no matter what you do, the result will not change.

In honor of the Lakers, Louie kept Wilson on the court and paired him with Ainge, Stevens, Reggie Williams and Sam Bowie as teammates.

This is a symbolic substitution.

Stevens is hailed as the soul of the Knicks by Louie. Both Bowie and Williams are powerful players who have defected to the Knicks this season. At this time, they are less than a minute and a half away from completing their dreams.

Louie wants them to enjoy every minute of the game.
