The Rest, Only Noise

Portland, Memorial Coliseum.

The second conversation between the Knicks and the Blazers takes place here.

One side is the first in the West, and the other is the first in the East for the time being.

The Blazers have occupied the top spot since the start of the season, and now, more than halfway through the schedule, they are firmly in first place with a record of 56 wins and 6 losses.

They won almost every strong team.

The only strong team to let them lose is the Los Angeles Clippers.

As for other strong teams, like the Lakers and Suns in the same division, the Heat, Pacers, and Knicks in the East, they haven't lost a game yet.

The Blazers are always serious about the strong team, and then accidentally lose to the weaker team.

That kind of careless failure of Jingzhou style is not worthy of attention.

So far, the only reference value is the one the Clippers won against the Blazers.

Louie hopes that the Blazers will be able to swallow a worthwhile defeat before the two sides meet again in the finals.

The Blazers just want to kill the Knicks. They have confidence, determination and strength.

The Knicks hope to find the Blazers' life, even if they are double-killed by the opponent, as long as they can find the opponent's death hole in this game, they can make more preparations for the next meeting.

Although this idea is somewhat disrespectful to other teams in the East, in Louie's view, as long as there is no major change, the Knicks should be a sure thing to reach the finals.

Their opponents have the same mind.

But the Blazers' plan wasn't to hit the Knicks.

Because the Knicks have no goal and the lineup is balanced enough.

But balance does not mean invulnerability. When the intensity of the game reaches a certain level, it is actually those few people who can really decide the result.

In Pat Riley's view, the Knicks' floor is up to Louie, and the ceiling is up to Wilson and Ewing.

For the Blazers, Riley also represents the lower limit, while Jordan, Barkley, Thomas, and Sabonis determine the upper limit.

The Knicks are a classic dual-core, and the Blazers are a quad-core drive never seen before in basketball history.

Generally speaking, with so many cores, the ball cannot be divided.

But the Blazers are an exception.

No. 1 player Jordan has been one of the top players in the league since he entered the league, and he was just one ball away from the championship last year.

As long as he can win the championship, he can make sacrifices.

Barkley doesn't need to sacrifice anything, as long as he keeps his mouth shut, he is the league's No. 1 power forward.

Thomas learned how to be the third child in Boston, and the blow to Charlotte made him see himself further, so after coming to Oregon, he integrated quickly.

Sabonis has always been the best player in the world outside the NBA, and if he came to the United States at a young age, he would undoubtedly be a super center. Now, his body is no longer at the peak, but his game awareness and skills have reached the realm. As an older rookie, his immediate combat power is very strong, and he also knows that his tactical position can only be ranked fourth in the starting lineup, but he can Do it at ease, be at peace.

In terms of starting strength alone, the Blazers are the first in history.

Not to mention the Verdun line of defense that scared the whole league.

The Blazers are so powerful that they can ignore the Knicks, don't care about the opponent's problems, as long as they focus on their own play, they can get everything done.

After more than half a year, the Knicks once again came to the home court of the Blazers.

Riley is dressed as usual, wearing a black Armani suit, with a big oil head that is completely back, quite a bit of Al Pacino's charm in "The Godfather".

"Hopefully we can have a great game," Riley said kindly.

Louie believes that Riley must have beaten Jordan and the others before the game.

Something like, "Remember how they beat us last year?" he must have said it.

exciting competition?

Louie believes that this game will be very exciting, but as for whether it is exciting at the basketball level or at the story level, it is hard to say.

Even if the process of the game is ugly, if the two sides fight the whole way, the fans will definitely think that the game is "wonderful".

Louie didn't think about turning the fight into a boxing match, it was just an assumption he made.

Before the opening, Louie carefully observed the warm-up of the Blazers.

The Blazers' warm-up was interesting.

In addition to Nance, the other four starters: Jordan, Thomas, Barkley, Sabonis all stood on the outside and tried to make three-pointers.

Thomas' top-of-the-corner 3-pointer looks good.

Watching Thomas earnestly practice three-pointers, Louie's heart sounded an alarm.

Is Thomas really going to go through the ancillary work to the end?

He hadn't practiced the 3-pointer when he was with Bird.

If Thomas' 3-pointer is also practiced, can the Blazers' starter be guarded?

"Isiah has started to practice three-pointers?" Tomjanovich was beside Louis, "This is not very good."

"That's an understatement of yours."

Is it just not good?

It's like asking a black man to play Snow White, it's not so good, it's already beyond the mark, right?

By the way, Americans really let blacks (Latins) play Snow White later...

Seeing Thomas regularly practice the top three-pointer, Louis temporarily decided to adjust the starting roster.

When the Stars and Stripes were being sung, Louis glanced over and did not see Mohammad Raouf.

"Where's MAR?" Louis asked.

"Corridor?" Wilson wasn't sure.

"What the **** is wrong with this guy?" Louie asked irritably. "Does he dislike the song "The Star-Spangled Banner," or does the flag offend him?"

Rodman laughed and said, "He does have a problem, coach, have you forgotten?"

"That's not what I'm talking about!" Louis remembered that Raouf had avoided the pre-opening national anthem ceremony from last December.

That's when he changed his name.

Stockton said nonchalantly; "He's a country hater."

"Who is going to tell him that he will start tonight?"

Louis advertised, and Stockton learned that Raouf was starting tonight, and was even more dissatisfied with the latter.

"I'll go." Yu Tiancan said enthusiastically.

After the ceremony, Raouf and Yu Tiancan ran out of the player tunnel together.

Louie did not ask why Raouf avoided the pre-match national anthem ceremony.

He couldn't imagine anyone hating their own country's flag and anthem, but Raouf clearly hated the American flag and anthem.

Such behavior and thinking are unacceptable everywhere.

No matter what reason he has, as long as things are exposed, he will carry terrible negative public opinion.

So Louis did not pay attention, because Raouf must have a reason to do so, he is a foreigner, so he can't worry about it.

"John is upset because you took his place, you better play me well."

Louie encouraged Raouf to say.

Raouf had only one question: "Do I want to play more smoothly, or more aggressively?"

"When tens of thousands of fans swear at you, what's the probability of you staying calm?"

"0."

"Since you know, don't ask stupid questions," Louie said energetically. "Be brave and be yourself!"

Raouf's replacement of Stockton's starter means another thing.

The Knicks starter has two players with unlimited firepower.

Although Wilson usually keeps his average shots within 20 times per game, in the face of such a powerful enemy as the Blazers, he will use those rules to restrain himself, not to mention that he does not agree. If Louis knew, he would definitely ask him The eighteenth generation of ancestors sent sincere greetings.

As soon as the Knicks started, Raouf's replacement for Stockton caught the attention of NBC's commentators.

"Mohammad Raouf played in the Finals last year and helped the Knicks win a game," said Bob Costas.

Does Lu want to use his powers again to change the situation? "

Costas' partner is the tragic.

NBC seems to have a tragic mentality. After all, everyone knows that the Knicks and the Celtics worked together to make him lose so many consecutive games in the finals.

Now, the Blazers have a chance to end the Knicks' dominance, so let the tragic as an analyst.

Thinking back to when Tragic Master was on the service, the pioneers like "Xiao Xiao" were not picked by him in the Western Finals, but today they are still fine.

"Yes, the Knicks need Mohammed's perimeter threat!"

At this point, the tragic master can only echo a nonsense.

On the opening jump ball, Ewing won over Sabonis.

Raouf dribbles the ball forward.

Before Raouf's card came into play, Kemp took the initiative to lean on Nance's body, and the right wing got stuck in the waist position to ask for the ball.

"Oh! It's Sean Camp!"

"Reign

After signing a big contract last month, Man's performance is getting better and better, and now he has firmly occupied the starting lineup, even Dennis Rodman can only be a substitute. "

Kemp catches the ball, dribbles first, then initiates the turn.

His turn has the flavor of Georgetown University.

The insiders from this school have beautiful turning movements, but Kemp has never studied in Georgetown, and his movements are learned from Ewing.

But learning from Ewing does not mean that his back fights will be as formulaic as Ewing.

Let's just say that this turn has the shape of Georgetown, but has a unique soul~www.novelmt.com~ Except for Kemp, Louis has never seen an insider who attacks with his back to the basket and then turns to face the basket at such a fast rate of action.

Larry Nance is already the best of athletic power forwards, but he's slow as a tortoise in front of Camp's whirlwind turn.

Kemp, like the hare in the tortoise and the hare, threw off Nance's defense without any suspense and rushed to the basket to score a dunk.

2 to 0

"This is Reign

Man! exclaimed Kostas. "He's the youngest player in the Knicks' starting lineup and one of the fastest improving players in the league. Even for Larry Nance, Kemp is a tough one." Biting hard bones! "

The Blazers responded with the ball and found Ewing.

Sabonis high pick-and-roll.

With the help of the pick-and-roll, Thomas had no trouble passing Raouf, and Ewing's backup caused some trouble, but he was too quick.

No matter how fast the gorilla is, he is still a seven-foot-tall center. Facing the smiling assassin in his early six-foot range, his defense was instantly breached.

The Assassin, who thought he could score smoothly, made a layup, but was capped by Kemp who came over from the flank.

But Nance, who followed up, grabbed the offensive rebound and pulled up for a dunk.
