The Rest, Only Noise

There are objective factors that prevent Chris Jackson from being the hero of the Knicks like the battle of Tianwangshan.

But if heroes were so easy to see, people wouldn't flock to the group.

Not being a hero doesn't affect other people's evaluation of CJ.

He made a four-pointer on Blue Edwards, followed by an open 3-pointer with a run and a one-on-one jumper against Jordan.

In the second quarter, he made 3 of 6 shots and scored 8 points, which significantly relieved the offensive pressure for Wilson and allowed the Knicks to dominate the first half.

On the Blazers side, Jordan fell into a situation of three hesitations—three-point hesitation, offensive hesitation, and scoring hesitancy—which was a psychological dilemma brought about by the Knicks’ defense.

If it weren't for Xavier McDaniel's burst, Clifford Robinson eye-catching, Anthony Mason as a coolie, and a few Zhang Fei needle-like open jumpers, the Blazers would have likely trailed the Knicks by 20 points in the first half.

In the end, it was these always humble role players that helped the Blazers bite the game.

52 to 42

At the end of the first half, the Knicks only led by 10 points.

Jordan scored 11 points in the first quarter, but only scored 7 points in the second quarter. 18 points at halftime is not an unacceptable score, but for him, in this life-and-death tiebreaker, fans have higher expectations for him. requirements.

"Michael needs to mobilize his energy," said the tragic master. "He has now seized a unique opportunity."

"If it were me and had the opportunity to play a tiebreaker with the Knicks, then no matter what, I would use all my strength, and I would do everything in my power to pursue a result without regrets."

This is one of the tragedy's greatest regrets.

In his path to the pitiful finals of Qilian Ya, except in 1985, the Lakers have not been able to play a tiebreaker with their opponents once.

What does this mean?

It shows that there is a clear gap between the Lakers and their opponents, and they are not able to reach the tiebreaker.

"The Knicks' defense is a serious limitation for Michael."

Doug Collins discovered the essence of the problem.

"When MJ couldn't make a 3-pointer, the Knicks always had a way to pull his offense into a trap, so we saw him play timidly in the second half of the second quarter. This state carried over to the second half."

"It's still a long game and the Portlanders still have some hope of winning in this competition."

Both coaches expressed their love for the rhythm of the game in interviews with NBC's halftime.

Tonight's game can be said to be "a match made in heaven".

A referee who knows how to control the rhythm and a loose scale suitable for the Knicks and the Blazers to compete freely. Most of the time, both teams played what they wanted to see.

Louis returned to the locker room and looked at the players who were fighting hard in the half. He did not lower his requirements for the players just because they were 10 points ahead.

"We can say with certainty that the Blazers are the best opponent in the past five years." Louie turned his back to the tactical board. "They have Mickey, they have Fatboy, and we don't have an answer for those two on the defensive end. But our game There is a clear direction, and we have to go in that direction without delaying for a second. Because we are not like them, we win. We are winners, we know that the essence of a winner is to do anything for victory, and a long-term winner , and the biggest difference between these challengers who are eager to be winners, is that we will fight for one simple reason. They can only count on Mickey and Fatboy, but the reason we are strong is all of you!"

"Let's use the second half to prove to the Portlanders—"

Louie said loudly.

"We're great, they can't!"

Mobilization, commonly known as fighting chicken blood, is a tactic that Louis rarely uses.

Whenever this strategy is used, the coaching staff has run out of options.

Here, "nothing can be done" is not a derogatory term. If the coaching staff still has a hole card in the halftime of the seventh game of the series, then there is a problem.

I gave the players a lot of blood, and made it clear that the first half of the game was useful, and continued to persist in the second half.

The players then strode out of the locker room to greet the second half with their heads held high.

In the second half, there was only one difference between the Knicks' starting and the first half.

Alex Stevens started at the 3, Rodman returned to the 4, and Kemp came off the bench.

This arrangement is because Kemp had three fouls in the first half. As the Knicks played the second best player in the finals, Louis hoped to have him on the court at the decisive moment.

The Blazers' first offense in the second half, the tactics hit to death, and the ball was passed to the right three-point line.

Wilson single-handedly defended Jordan as usual, and opened a distance of one meter.

Jordan has gotten rid of the confusion in the first half. Since he is not sure about the three-pointer, he will ignore the shooting space that the Knicks give him.

The trapeze used the three-threat skillfully, and Wilson dropped the ball. If Jordan really wanted to shoot, he would have to step up and interfere.

Therefore, Jordan's three threats can play a role in shaking the defense. After shaking Wilson's defense several times, the trapeze suddenly started to accelerate, walked to the right, and forcibly entered the inside.

Just as Jordan stepped into the paint area, Ewing on the bottom line, Rodman in the middle, Stevens on the flank, and Wilson behind him, all four were in place at the same time.

The characteristics of these four are that each is taller than Jordan, has a long wingspan and excellent athletic ability. Trapped in the net, even Jordan, his ball had no chance to pass to his teammates and was blocked by Rodman in the air.

"Michael fell into New York's trap again, watch Benj's fast break!"

Wilson accelerated with the ball, Xavier McDaniel flanked over, and the two were bound to meet.

The conqueror who never put the X-Men in his eyes, at this moment, has endless self-confidence. In his opinion, the other party is just a trash fish, not enough to threaten him.

His confidence and composure is what made him a superstar.

In fact, almost all superstars are narcissists.

However, McDaniel is determined to implement the "no layup principle" of the Blazers to the end, and his defense is no longer purely aimed at defending Wilson's offense.

When Wilson took off, McDaniel flew out from the side and hit his body directly. This flying impact, which was completely directed at the flesh, was enough to disrupt Wilson's attack.

At that moment, Wilson's body was out of control, and the referee's whistle was useless. With a bang, he fell heavily to the ground.

"Benj!"

Rodman rushed over and unceremoniously punched McDaniel in the cheek.

The conflict between the two sides broke out instantly.

"Oh my God, both sides are like a pile of dry wood! McDaniel's attack on Benj ignites both sides!"

"That's it, fight, fight!"

The stars on the sidelines owe one by one, wishing for a conflict between the two sides.

Louie and the team doctor came to Wilson.

"How are you feeling?" asked Knicks doctor Brian Kaminsky.

Wilson straightened up, "I can keep playing!"

"No, go first!"

Louie insisted that Wilson be checked off the field, and the conflict on the field was quelled by the referee.

McDaniel was called for a shooting foul and a technical foul. Rodman was also called for a technical foul because he took the initiative to punch. The subsequent melee was ignored, and both sides had free throws.

The Knicks had four free throw attempts, two of which were shooting fouls by Wilson.

Although his injury is still unclear, Louie decided to let him off the court after the free throw, because the NBA has regulations that if a player has to leave the court due to injury and cannot execute the free throw, he can designate someone else to take the free throw, but the injured player can no longer be allowed. Back in the game.

When Wilson walked to the free throw line, he felt a cramp-like pain in his foot, which may be good news. He didn't hurt a bone, but if he had a strain in his leg, would he be able to come back and play?

I just got killed like that?

Wilson missed the first free throw.

"It's okay, adjust well!" The teammates encouraged.

Wilson hit the second free throw.

The next person to take the technical foul was Stockton.

Before Wilson walked off the court, he turned to Ewing and said, "Patrick, I'll be back when I adjust."

"No need!" Maybe Ewing just didn't want Wilson to risk a worsening injury, but what he said was unpleasant. "I'll prove that the Knicks are invincible without you."

When Wilson came off the court, the data left were 17 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists. Since the Knicks implemented an offensive strategy of hitting the opponent's interior tonight, he often just stood on the outside and pulled space.

Even so~www.novelmt.com~ still got the most points in the team by relying on sporadic jumpers and heads-up and many counterattacks.

Wilson is the barometer of the Knicks offense, that's for sure.

Wilson sat on the edge, the team doctor began to examine his injury, and his teammates couldn't give him too much attention because the game was far from being decided.

Surprisingly, Stockton's two technical foul free throws were a rare two missed free throws, as if telling others that if Wilson doesn't play, the Knicks can't even make free throws.

For the Blazers, they held two free throws firmly.

44 to 53

The Knicks lost Benjamin Wilson in the first possession of the second half, which was great news for the Blazers. Most of the great teams fell in the same way.

Bob Costas looked at Wilson, who was lying on the bench for examination, and asked thoughtfully: "Will Xavier McDaniel's attack on Benj become Portland's 'clothesline'?"

In Game 5 of the 1988 Eastern Conference Finals, the Knicks, who were nearly eliminated, sent Bird out with an injury after Kevin McHale fouled Bird on a clothesline, ultimately helping them win three straight, epic to reverse the Celtics.

It's just that Bird was injured in the fifth game, and he still had room for adjustment, but Wilson was injured at the beginning of the second half of the tiebreaker.

The Knicks don't have time to wait for him to heal.

For those observers who have watched the Knicks rise all the way to today's impasse, they have to sigh, at that moment, at this moment.
