The Rest, Only Noise

Wednesday, June 8, 1988.

Memorial Coliseum, Portland, Oregon, USA.

The fourth game of the finals will be held today.

Although it was only the fourth game, the senior officials of the alliance were basically there. Because tonight is very likely to decide this year's champion.

The Knicks, who have already led 3-0, are likely to end the season here.

In order to ensure that there are no special circumstances, the league sent two more stable referees.

Among the active referees, the most respected Darrell Garretson, and Joe Crawford, who is widely regarded in the industry.

Today's Crawford is not the future player who felt offended because the player laughed too evilly, so the anger in his heart went straight to the top of his head, and because there was no hair on it to burn, he punished the player who made the weird laugh The bald referee who appeared on the field.

Crawford in 1988, with jet black and shiny hair.

"Two, to be honest, I don't want you to take advantage of them because they are 0-3 down." Louie joked.

Garretson looked at Louis vigilantly: "LittleLu, you can't get any benefits from me."

"I don't want any benefits. I just want the game style to be more inclusive and open." Louis chatted, and Jordan, who has been criticized for his selfishness in the past few days, came to say hello.

Jordan's attitude is clear: "Even if you lead 3-0, don't think you're guaranteed victory, it's not over yet!"

Louie smiled and said: "I think so too, Michael, even if you are down 0-3, and if you can average 40 points per game, the team behind you can help you explain. But, I don't want to hear excuses, so I'll find a way to make you embarrassed tonight."

Jordan knew that the evil leader of the Knicks was Louie.

He is inherently competitive, and he likes confrontation very much. Louis' words made him fight.

"You can try it!"

Jordan, whose personal ability has reached its peak, is confident that no team in the world can limit his performance.

The Blazers may not be able to win, but he can also play good games.

That's a problem with Jordan's debut in the West.

Western teams tend to be more technical and tactical, while the East likes hand-to-hand confrontation.

Jordan's body has never been honed by a team in the West. Only by reaching the finals can he know how the championship-level Eastern powerhouses are against.

What's more, "Jordan Law" will also be available today.

Louie believes Jordan is about to experience the toughest game of his life.

Both sides started, and the Blazers continued the Game3 configuration. On the Knicks side, Rodman entered the starting list and played at No. 3, Wilson continued to play at No. 2, and the other positions remained unchanged.

Ewing wins the jump ball.

The Knicks' offense starts with Stockton's breakthrough defensive formation.

McHale ran to the free throw line and the ball came over.

Nance's defense came right in front of McHale.

However, it still makes little sense.

McHale made a decisive jumper and hit.

2 to 0

Hubie Brown noticed that the Knicks were more extreme in shrinking the restricted area tonight than in previous games, and the off-ball confrontation was fierce.

Rodman put his hand against Jordan and prevented him from leaning in. Drexler was only caught in the low post and was pinched.

Even the most reliable pitcher, Terry Porter, was shorted.

Drexler passes the ball to Porter.

Porter's two-step jumper from the three-point line responded to the Knicks' shorting.

The Knicks' counterattack is gorgeous, Stockton's long pass.

Wilson, who was going down quickly, caught the ball, unlucky, and suddenly passed back to Rodman, who followed up.

Rodman went straight to the basket and completed the dunk.

It was too fast, and Wilson and Rodman, who fought back, were as close as twin brothers.

The two stayed in the frontcourt and forced the Blazers to pass the ball to players other than guards.

Jordan had to take on the task of dribbling the ball through half court.

As a result, Rodman led the defense. He knew Jordan had the fastest first step in the league, so he didn't get close, he just pulled away and kept distracting.

Jordan was dribbling the ball and found that his teammates opened the space, so he simply stopped passing it. He hit the end alone, and the ball was suddenly stopped at the free throw line.

Rodman interfered in place, allowing Jordan to strike for the first time tonight.

It's almost the same process. The Knicks' Wilson dribbles the ball in the backcourt. The difference is that the Blazers have no one to lead the defense.

Wilson dribbled the ball to where Jordan missed, and also made a jumper, but he made it.

"Is this the Defensive Player of the Year?

? "Louis sneered, "Mike, are you underestimating our Benj?" "

Before Louis crossed, he had heard many stories of "Don't mess with Jordan".

What he has to say is that it's cool to break the taboo, whether it's to provoke Jordan or ignore the second brother.

Jordan, whose anger was growing, wanted to go to a deeper position to ask for the ball. The screen of his teammates helped him get rid of the defense. Ewing saw that he was about to go down to the basket, so he decisively stepped forward and blocked his way with his body and his dark iron elbow.

After a second, Jordan was caught up by Rodman, and with force from behind, he slammed out of the field.

Drexler, on the other hand, nailed Wilson's defense, scoring with a jump shot he wasn't good at.

6 to 4

Rodman, who was entangled with Jordan on the defensive end, was regarded by his opponents as a burden to the Knicks on the offensive end.

Indeed, he can't shoot, can't hold the ball, and let him attack on the court is four-on-five.

If it is an incompetent coach, it will indeed make Rodman encounter this kind of embarrassment.

But Louie has a way to get Rodman into the offense.

Rodman screened Wilson on the weak side, received the ball on the strong side, then screened for Stockton, and suddenly ran to the bottom corner. He had no three-point threat, so what was he doing there?

As soon as his opponent was in doubt, he saw him cut to the basket with a back run, and Stockton threw the ball high.

Rodman succeeded in the alley-oop.

8 to 4

When Rodman scores, you're never happy as a fan of the opposing team. Because you're going to see a **** dancing back to the defense with a comical running pose and a punch that's more irritating and frustrating than Curry's shaking his head and James' jerk-kissing stride.

"Seeing MJ's defense, I'm even more angry with the media that voted, how could they choose this guy to be DPOY?"

When Louie said these words, his voice was so loud that not only the players on the field could hear it, but also the fans behind him.

How could the Portlanders watch him humiliate their own ace so much, and immediately counterattack with foul language off the court.

Suddenly, Wilson was on Jordan.

Jordan didn't have the ball, he needed to run.

However, his running route has been figured out by the Knicks.

Jordan lifted up from the paint and was about to smash into Rodman's arms when he was about to sprint over the top of the arc to get the ball. Rodman stood in his way and made a conscious effort to **** Jordan off.

At this time, Jordan was also an impatient and stunned young man. How could he tolerate the opponent's role players provoking him? Immediately turned around and waved his elbow against Rodman's hand. Rodman tried to lock his throat with both hands, but Jordan decisively hit a left hook with his left hand. Wilson joined the conflict at the first time, and he pushed Jordan to the ground viciously.

Edwards' **** arrived late, and just as he was about to attack Wilson, he was hugged by Ewing.

"Speak well if you have something to say." Ewing looks rude, but he is a rare good persuasion player in the Knicks.

Seeing that his teammates had the upper hand in the fight, McHale decided to be a good guy: "Don't fight, fighting is bad, why should we fight?"

This scene exasperated Bill Sheenelli, the announcer at Memorial Stadium: "What a bunch of bandits! The Knicks are full of thugs! Dennis Rodman and Benjamin Wilson are Satan's right and left hands! LittleLu even in this situation Laughing... But what I'm most disappointed about is that there is no second person to help except James, Clyde, what are you doing? TB (Potter), why are you unresponsive? Larry Nance. .."

The Blazers did have a real fight off the field - Xavier McDaniel. But Adelman doesn't like to use him. Moreover, the Blazers compete fiercely for the same position. If Jordan is positioned as the No. 2 position, then the No. 3 position must be Drexler, so he must be a substitute.

This conflict is not intense, it is only because Jordan is the one who took the initiative, so there will be such a big movement.

Even if it is hands-on, the Knicks have the upper hand. After all, the Knicks have played with the attitude of "fight and take a ball" since the Eastern Conference finals.

Wilson's aggression is what baffles Louie the most.

"How did that kid become like this?" Louie remembered that Wilson just played fiercely, and he was not as rough as he is now.

Tomjanovich laughed: "It starts with Larry's saliva."

"What a country bumpkin, isn't his saliva poisonous?"

What angered the Blazers fans was that it was the Blazers who suffered, Jordan was beaten, and Jordan was brought down. The Knicks dominated the scene and the number of fights dominated. As a result, Jordan was called a technical foul.

Knicks...no one was called for a foul.

To understand this ruling, one must understand the NBA since the 1960s

Attitude to fights~www.readwn.com~ If Tomjanovich hadn't been punched out of his head, the NBA would have been a rougher league than the NHL in every way.

Regarding fights, the league has not clearly stipulated how to punish them, and it depends entirely on the nature and negative effects of the fights.

And like this kind of people chatting, the latter counterattacks, detonating groups of fights, the referee's punishment is always the responsibility of the first puncher.

If Jordan doesn't get that punch, he might have to give Rodman a foul in the Blazers' home game.

With that punch, the technical foul went away.

Boos, full of hateful boos, swept the Memorial Coliseum.

Louie defiantly sent Rodman to the free throw.

Rodman's free throw percentage is less than 50%, so let him free throw, is to make a clear statement: Lao Tzu is not bad by these points.

As a result, Rodman missed all free throws, the fans were so happy that the cheers sounded like earthquakes, and the Blazers players, everyone was angry, Jordan looked the most excited.

They know the Knicks are insulting them this way, but what can they do?

The ball is still in the hands of the Knicks.

Wilson, who brought down Jordan in the conflict, provoked him many times in the series.

At this time, he took advantage of the ball and ran a beautiful Exchange Ricky (high dynamic attack), first on the top of the arc, then on the right wing, then back to the top of the arc, catching the ball, and shooting.

"Shh!"

11 to 4

"Yeah, ah, ah, ah!" After the start of the playoffs, Louie has not been so happy for a long time, "Benj, my baby, good shot!"
