The Rest, Only Noise

David Stern holds the MVP award for Ewing before Game 1 of the Finals.

The 32-year-old Ewing took over the league's best individual honor, and it felt heavy.

To save time, or rather, not wanting to celebrate his second MVP with much fanfare, Ewing offered to give him a few minutes to give his acceptance speech.

Stern obviously won't turn down such an offer, but the nbc is in a tough spot.

Because they were supposed to put in a commercial during this time, and if the commercials were to run as usual, the audience would have to miss Ewing's acceptance speech.

But Ewing didn't make it difficult for them for long.

Because his speech only took less than a minute.

Less than 30 seconds to be exact.

"Without a great city, without a great team, a guy who averaged only 18 points per game in the regular season won't win the MVP." Ewing's emotional intelligence in his life has been spent in this half-minute, "Thank you, I will return with a seventh championship!"

The audience in the garden immediately stood up, applauded and cheered for him.

At that time, Ewing knew that he was also deeply loved by the fans.

The Knicks' opponents watched Ewing murmur from the sidelines.

The other thing is okay, but Ewing said that he wanted to bring a seventh championship, which made Jordan very uncomfortable.

It's a bit like the 1969 Finals Game 7 where the Lakers boss worked at the Forum Arena (1), before the game even started, he used this method to help his opponent fight. Ewing simply regarded his opponent as Vegeta. , I hope they put 100% of every cell in their body into the game.

As the game began, Jordan found that his team was at a complete disadvantage.

Obviously last year the two teams were evenly matched, but this year the Knicks easily dominated, leading by 14 points at halftime.

There are several reasons for this.

There's nothing wrong with this Knicks locker room, each of them wants to win another championship.

The evolution of Camp.

This is not obvious in the East. When he came to the finals and met Barkley who had casually beat him in the past two years, Kemp showed his growth.

His mid-to-long-range jumper and low-post turnaround shot as well as his face-to-the-basket offense and unstoppable ball-handler turn-around layup.

From the content of the game, Kemp has become stronger and Barkley's defense has become weaker.

Because he couldn't keep his mouth shut, the toned figure Riley helped him build had completely disappeared, and his body fat rate had exceeded the standard.

In the second half, the Blazers were powerless to pursue.

119 to 102

The Knicks beat the Blazers by 17 points in Game 1 of the Finals.

On the Knicks side, it's hard to say who is the best in the game, everyone has their own shining points.

Wilson had 22 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists, Ewing had 18 points and 14 rebounds, and Kemp had 25 points and 8 rebounds.

The performance of the three ensured the victory of the Knicks.

Louie didn't go to the scene, as he said, it's up to him to decide whether to go or not, he decides not to go.

Unless the Knicks get dragged into a life-and-death fight, like a tiebreaker.

Only then will Louis consider coming to watch the game.

Moreover, when he went to the scene, he didn't mean to be a needle of the sea god. Maybe he could achieve such an effect, but the purpose of his visit was to see the result nearby.

Judging from the first game, Rudy did not let him down.

There is no problem with the Knicks' play style, combining inside and outside. Their interior advantage is greater, so both Ewing and Kemp have played dazzling performances to drive the outside play.

This is the winning code against the Blazers.

Although not guaranteed to win the series, but let Riley change first.

The second is like a remake of the first.

Riley didn't change, he wanted to try again.

Although the lineup remains the same, the Blazers are not saying that they have implemented the same routine from beginning to end.

Riley varies in detail.

For example, showing the Verdun defense line in advance to confront the Knicks on the outside, successfully affected the Knicks' shooting feel.

The Knicks lost their shooting accuracy in the first game, and Ewing's several inside shots were either interrupted by Sabonis or blocked by Jordan who flew in.

Ewing as a super center, this is his most embarrassing place.

His offensive ability is second-rate among players of his level.

If he can score, he can score, but it is not stable. He does not have the kind of trump card that can handle any situation, nor does he possess the natural suppressing power of O'Neal to see whoever kills whoever. What makes him is defense. But this is something that is hard to discern in the data.

When Ewing made 3 of 10 shots, he knew he couldn't focus on offense anymore.

So he said to Wilson, "Benj, you come to attack!"

Wilson had no doubts, and Tomjanovich also timely resorted to Louis' last tactic: roll call.

It was this tactic that stabilized the Knicks' position and allowed them to start a ferocious counterattack in the second half.

In the second half, Ewing interfered with the Blazers' five consecutive shots.

Let them all five consecutive offenses ended in misses.

Then, Stockton led the other teammates to start a defensive counterattack.

The little advantage the Blazers built in the first half was quickly erased.

It was Jordan and Barkley's strong attack on the inside and outside that turned the Blazers from a passive situation into a stalemate.

This turned into a war of attrition.

The Knicks' roster depth gradually came into play.

Tomjanovich has been with Louie for many years, and the most important thing he has learned from each other is to not be stingy with rotations, and to change people when it is time to change, even if the person being replaced is in good condition.

Because the Knicks have enough depth to allow different players to play great performances.

Doug Christie changed his jerkyness in last year's finals and became the backbone of the team. He can shoot and defend. He is Louis's favorite all-around wing.

Alan Houston has not yet fully adapted to the NBA's three-point line, but he has brought his college shooting ability to the NBA and is one of the Knicks' most accurate catch-and-shoot players.

Yu Tiancan fulfilled his talent in the second year of his career and played a performance that lived up to the fourth overall in the new year. For the Blazers' second unit, he was a god.

When protecting the basket in the penalty area, it is self-contained, and the coverage area is extremely terrifying. He can also attack when he gets the ball in the low post. His basic skills are very solid, and he can do any inside action. Can also shoot outside the paint on the left and right wings, and can also support pick-and-rolls in the high post.

Yu Tiancan looks like a weakened version of Sabonis.

When the main force faced off, the two sides were evenly matched.

When the bench came on, the Knicks took the lead. In less than three minutes, the advantage had reached 9 points.

The Blazers requested a timeout, and they lost their rhythm from that point on.

Count Riley didn't figure out that the Knicks' backup would change the game.

109 to 99

The Knicks have another victory, with a big score of 2-0.

The Finals looked no suspense because the Blazers were nowhere near as strong as last year.

The New York media began counting the odds of those teams with a 2-0 lead in the finals winning the championship, and then called on fans to pay attention to the New York Rangers, a professional ice hockey team with a long history in New York. Realized a revival, successfully reached the Stanley Cup final, and have a very high probability of winning.

New Yorkers living in the 1990s are happy~www.readwn.com~ Although the City Proud Yankees pulled their crotch, the Knicks and Rangers succeeded smoothly after the Islander Dynasty and became the rulers of the city flag and the professional league .

But Stern certainly wouldn't be happy about it, even if he's a New Yorker.

The rise of the Rangers will only take away the attention of the Knicks, and the ratings of this year's finals will definitely not be broken.

Unbeknownst to Stern, there was a historic celebrity scandal on the horizon that would affect both the Knicks and the Rangers.

In any case, this year's ratings are definitely coming to an end.

And on the night the Knicks took a 2-0 lead, Louie received a fax from the head office.

This is a contract.

A contract of intent.

⑴ This allusion is not new to old fans. In 1969, the Lakers were sitting on the three super giants of Lao Zhang, Baylor and Logo, and they believed that the championship was their own. His team will win the championship. In order to celebrate the Lakers' first championship after moving to Los Angeles, he arranged for thousands of colorful balloons to be installed above the Forum Arena before the game. When the Lakers won the championship, those balloons would be released. The scene must be very exciting. romantic. And you know, "those balloons stay there forever."
