The Rest, Only Noise

There were plenty of afterthought commentators who said the game was over in the first half.

But in fact, in game 3 with the Blazers, there were still a few creepy changes that occurred in the second half for Louis.

For example, Riley suddenly asked Clifford Robinson to try a 3-pointer to gain space.

Robinson is a long-range player, but he has yet to develop the 3-pointer, and tonight's provisional assignment was like a try.

Robinson's attempt went 1 for 4.

It doesn't seem like a worrisome shooting percentage, but if Riley starts to focus on the 3-point line and the role of outside shooters on superstars, it could very well be the beginning of a change for the Blazers.

Another worrying moment for Louie was the Fliggy's solo show.

In the last four minutes of the third quarter, the two of them combined to score 18 points, and the Knicks' All-Defensive five-man team was helpless.

For superstars, the quality of defensive players can only create a certain amount of distraction.

The decisive factor is their shooting touch.

Fortunately, that state cannot last for a long time. In the fourth quarter, the Trail Blazers fell back and the Knicks harvested the game.

114 to 102

game3

On the road, the Knicks outscored the Blazers by 12 points for their second win in the series, clinched home-court advantage and shattered Charles Barkley's arrogant declaration that he would make the Three-game winning streak at home with the fans to win the championship.

Barkley, who dared to speak wildly, did not make a corresponding contribution.

Compared to Jordan, his play is not so good.

Even if there are 26 points and 16 rebounds in the data, these two data do not reflect his sluggishness on the offensive end and weakness on the defensive end.

When the NBC reporter interviewed him, he was still in the mood to joke: "Maybe I should spend a few more hours at the review meeting."

In this regard, the "Oregon Candid" has played the traditional arts of the local media - we prefer to have the mentality of our own people rather than the mentality of our opponents.

The next day, the Honest newspaper commented on Barkley's frivolous remarks: "No, Charles, you don't have to do it at all. But from the results of the third game, you should take a step forward in terms of confidence, You're going to grab a couple of teammates by the neck at once like Michael and bring them to you. For fans who have to put up with this **** after Sunday night, you still have time to save the series. "

Jordan was indeed the one who performed beyond reproach. Even though he was weak in the first half against the "law", he still came back strong in the second half, scoring 38 points and 11 assists.

Externally, he maintains a good image.

Because there are no good reporters in Portland, the no-crown trapeze seems to be unable to compare with Louie's previous life in terms of attention.

Therefore, no boring writer will come to write a "Jordan Law" to reveal his true face to the world, but this does not mean that he is a good person.

He's still brutal and demanding, and years of failure have only made him more demanding of his teammates.

Virtues like Barkley's slack after losing are absolutely intolerable.

As for now, in front of the media, he can only say: "I will pat Charles on the **** and let him come to me and stand with me."

The Knicks won the ball, but there was no peace inside.

Benjamin Wilson overpowered Michael Jordan with a standout performance.

Even if Jordan's performance is impeccable, Wilson is even better. He is a ruler on both ends of the offense and defense, with 45 points, 15 rebounds, 9 assists, 4 steals and 2 blocks, only 3 turnovers, and a shooting rate of 55%. When facing Jordan, his shooting percentage even improved, to 60%.

The exclamations and approvals of the commentators, and at the end of halftime, they were as popular as a king even on the road.

This made Ewing jealous. In order to gain the same recognition, Gorilla scored and grabbed rebounds in the second half, trying to surpass Wilson in one aspect.

But the good times didn't last long, and the stage when he was eager to perform happened to hit the only climax played by the Fliggy group tonight.

Ewing was a poor background and supporting role in the 18-man play in which Jordan and Barkley teamed up.

He was the last hurdle of the Knicks' defense, but he couldn't stop the two men's alternate attacks.

His data stayed at 24 points, 12 rebounds and 1 block. Not only did he score less than Wilson, but even his best rebounds and blocks were less than Wilson.

In the fourth quarter, Wilson's last pass before coming off the court was an assist to Ewing.

If Ewing scored that goal, Wilson would have had a big triple-double of 45+15+10, but for some reason, the gorilla slipped.

It must have been a mistake, but for the media, who are good at catching the wind, Ewing's mistake gave them the opportunity to sow the Knicks.

And player stats aren't just useful to fans, there are people in the locker room who like to discuss stats.

Like Dennis Rodman, who only grabbed 10 rebounds tonight and claimed he had a chance to grab 20, but "I gave him 10 for my brother benj's triple-double" . As a result, Wilson was one assist short of a triple-double, and that unfortunate assist slipped away from Ewing.

Rodman jokingly said: "Patrick, is there a clause in your contract that will deduct money if you let Benj get a triple-double?"

It was a funny joke and half the locker room laughed, including Wilson.

Ewing said with a sullen face, "If you are dissatisfied with this, you can not pass the ball to me in the future."

At that moment, the people in the locker room seemed to have come to the North Pole.

"Isn't it rhetorical? You don't know how low-level that mistake was?" Louie no longer gave Ewing a chance to speak.

Wilson saw that Ewing was tormented by a monster of jealousy, and when TNT was preparing to interview the Knicks, he offered to let Ewing participate.

Louie thought it was okay, but Ewing said, "The person they want to interview is you, not me."

Louie knew what he was up to, but now wasn't a good time to amplify it.

"Don't be awkward." Louis changed the subject, "It's so hard to show your face in front of the big media, is this your attitude?"

After that, Ewing still went to accept the interview, but he wore a stinky face that the other party did not pay back the money he owed.

When the media asked again if Ewing wanted to get fmvp.

Ewing's answer was so embarrassing that the questioner's scalp tingled: "Anyway, you will all vote for the player you like in the end. I know I'm not likable, so please don't ask this kind of question again."

tnt post-match interview ratings dropped 10% as a result.

The producers called Louie about it and begged him not to let Ewing come in for interviews again.

He has a saying that Louie can't forget: "Coach Lu, you should know who the audience likes, don't make it difficult for us, okay?"

The media's favorability and audience relationship is a very strange thing.

As a public figure, how to handle the relationship between yourself and these two groups is very important.

The former represents public opinion and the latter represents support.

For Louis, the most typical example is Xie Na. He read a question on Zhihu about "How is Xie Na?", and there were more than 10,000 replies, almost all of them "About why I hate Xie Na, I have something to say. to say", with little repetition. The audience relationship is so bad that it can be said to be the first person to reverse the history of China Entertainment.

Back to Ewing, he was not like Xie Na, who pretended to be stupid and disgusting all the year round, which led to a flood of bad reviews. In the beginning, he was completely an idol star. New York regards him as a savior, the media regards him as a new darling, and public opinion praises him as the king of the next era.

As a result, like Zhao Wenzhuo, he started with Wang Zhuang but played sloppy, and his career planning was poor. Even if Louis pulled him a lot, his relationship with the media was still bad. Knicks fans could not feel kindness when they saw him, because he often News broke of refusing to sign autographs for fans.

Wilson, on the other hand, knew from the beginning that he was popular, so he had to package himself like an idol star.

He performed well on the field, and he was prepared to answer questions from the media in advance, and he also showed a kind side when he encountered fans outside the field. Of course, these images are also shaped according to his own character, not a person. But the meaning of the character design is to make public figures look like everyone likes, but Ewing is unwilling to even pretend.

Now that he has chosen this path, it is time to accept the outcome.

Now, he's upset that the media doesn't like him.

Louie can't say much more about this, it's Ewing's choice and a continuation of his rivalry with Wilson.

Perhaps, Louie should be grateful to God, benj is a "civil war layman", he has a hundred ways to replace Ewing as the leader of the team, and by the way makes the Knicks uneasy, but he chooses to continue to accept Ewing, a human with low emotional intelligence Essence, as his own leader, endured his bad temper and inexplicable anger, putting team and stability first.

If benj wasn't like that, maybe the Knicks would have exploded.

Maybe he and Ewing have gotten to grips with each other, just like the late ok Lakers.

But how long can this harmony last? As long as Wilson is still on the team, he is more popular than Ewing, and fans like him. All awards that the media can participate in will give priority to benj instead of Ewing.

Once Ewing doesn't agree with the result, he will lift up the sauerkraut in his heart, just like tonight.

When Ewing returned to the locker room, there was only Louie left.

"What about the others?" Ewing asked.

"I told them to go back first." Louie turned back. "Pack up and go out for a drink?"

Ewing asked curiously, "Don't you hate me going to nightclubs the most?"

"Why do you think 'drinking a drink' can only be done in a nightclub?" Louie asked unhappily~www.novelmt.com~ First, there is no one to accompany the drink in the bar, and it is not fun;" Ewing has reason said, "Second, there is no privacy in the bar, and if we get drunk, tomorrow's newspaper headlines will have our ugly face printed on the front cover; third, I don't think it's a good thing for players and coaches to drink in private, you must Want to tell me, I know what you want to say, I don't want to hear it. "

"Okay, then don't drink it." Louie also felt that drinking with Ewing was not a good idea, "I can condense what I'm going to say to you into a few sentences."

"you say."

"Don't be jealous of Benj anymore." Louie's voice sank. "He has done everything he can to maintain your tall image as a leader. Be mature, Patrick."

Ewing noticed that Louie addressed him as "Patrick," suggesting he was more serious than ever.
