The Rest, Only Noise

The latest website: No matter in the past or this life, in basketball, Louie has only seen one person who can be described as Hannibal in "The Silence of the Lambs".

That man is Jordan. He's a killer who will rip your heart out, and if you give him a chance, he'll kill you mercilessly at critical moments.

In the timeline Louie was more familiar with, Jordan was unbeaten in the Finals.

But now, he has failed. Moreover, it was swept away without dignity.

Any player, if he is swept in the playoffs, as long as he still wants historical status, this will be the stain of his life, let alone in the finals?

To this day, Louie doesn't think Jordan will become the GOAT of the NBA in this world.

Because the most important thing in Jordan's election to the GOAT in the eyes of most people - perfection - was broken.

However, this is not necessarily a bad thing for Jordan. In the original timeline, although he harvested the 90s like a conqueror, he never had an opponent who could push him to the limit like the black and white duo in the 80s. He was so bored that after finishing his first three-peat, he chose to play baseball in the minor leagues despite the fact that he was still in his prime.

It's hard to use data to prove how much this hurts basketball itself, and it seriously weakens Jordan himself.

And in this world, he has opponents.

This opponent is not a specific player, but the Knicks under Louis.

They have the same characteristics as the Bad Boys, but there are differences.

The difference is Louie, he has no other ability, he is good at planning, calculating, taking precautions, and he will make up for what the team lacks. He is determined to turn the Knicks into the most successful team after the Celtics, and he will destroy Jordan. 's team as its mission to cross over.

Now, Louie saw anger in Jordan's eyes.

What a fierce fighting spirit and strong murderous aura?

Louis saw in those dangerous pupils an almost morbid competitive spirit.

That's why, Jordan came up to steal the Knicks two goals in a row and made a 4-0 start, but Louis had no other reaction.

He is enjoying it.

"Coach, MJ looks like he's going to get 10 steals." Zhao Yuanzheng reminded Louis that the situation was not good.

Louie waved his hand and called to Stockton, "John, be steady."

The full-court press under Jordan's leadership was ineffective.

They didn't pull off another steal, and Stockton dribbled the ball up the floor to Ewing in the low post.

Ewing's offense increases every time he plays the Blazers.

Because he has an absolute advantage in the paint.

Jordan came to the defense like a cheetah, and did not forget to use his wingspan to cover Ewing's passing route.

Even Jordan in 1988, in Louie's eyes, has no flaws except the three-point score.

What's more, not being able to shoot a three-pointer is not a defect when not meeting the Knicks.

However, no matter how good his defense is, he cannot avoid the negligence of others.

Clyde Drexler was a star player who struggled under Pitino.

Pitino requires them to put a lot of full-court pressing on their opponents every game.

Jordan could do it, he couldn't.

The Knicks' starting lineup tonight, Miller played the 3rd position, against Drexler. Drexler has always had a low defensive intensity. As early as before Pitino arrived, he often missed defenses in games, and his focus on off-ball defense was particularly poor. The Knicks are the league's favorite to play tricks at high positions. The teams that most encourage shooters to shoot 3-pointers, in a sense, for the Blazers, the weak-side shooters are the most likely to break out.

Drexler's poor defensive awareness allowed Miller to smell a shot.

The natural killer, caught Ewing's pass at the top of the arc, raised his hand, and shot before the glider defense arrived!

"Shh!"

"Reggie Miller has the style of Dale Ellis." Stockton solemnly introduced, "When he entered the league in his first year, he was able to start the Knicks, which are full of talents. This is not a problem. little thing."

As soon as the words fell, Larry Nance and Drexler performed an alley-oop cooperation with his amazing physical fitness.

6 to 3

This scene made Louis furious.

He angrily accused Rodman: "Dennis, do you still want to take DPOY? Don't you want to start again? What the **** are you defending? Where were you just now? Are you **** awake? "

Louis stood on the sidelines and ranted about Rodman, and tonight's referee, Jim Clark, a rookie referee who joined the league, wanted to establish his majesty: "Lu, control your emotions."

"It's none of your **** business who I scold me for?" Louis knew that the other party was a rookie, so he didn't give face at all, and roared directly.

Clark was completely stunned by Louie's vicious face. This was his first season as a referee, and he didn't want to have a conflict with a coach who was known in the industry.

"I just want you to calm down, Coach Lu."

"I influenced you?"

"No?"

"Mr. Referee, look at my mouth." Louis repeated that sentence.

Regardless of whether Clark has an impression of Louie, Rodman doesn't dare to be careless.

If Louie is called a technical foul by the referee for scolding him, will he have good fruit in the future?

Fortunately, the referee tonight is a softie!

Rodman suddenly felt that he was the luckiest person in the world. Referees were generally difficult and liked to defend his authority, but for a rookie like Clark, his first thought was to maintain stability.

Old referees know that once you're afraid to make things bigger, an opportunist like Louie will seize your weakness and take advantage of it.

The Blazers' defense is still tight.

This round, they didn't keep the full court pressing.

Jordan and Cauchy stayed in the midfield to prepare for the defense, and the others remained vigilant.

However, Louie's gestures were very clear.

Rodman positioned Miller in the high post.

Stockton passed the ball, Miller took the ball, and one person attracted the attention of many people. The Blazers couldn't take their eyes off him just after he made the 3-pointer.

However, Miller is also just a bait.

In order to maintain the flexibility of the help defense, Jordan has little defense against Hornacek. Hornacek's point depends on the rotation of others, but the Knicks have opened the system, even if the Blazers' flank is second to none in the league, it can't be taken care of.

In the left bottom corner, Hornacek made a hollow three-pointer from the outside.

6 to 6

"That's the value of the 3-pointer. The Blazers scored three and they only needed two to get it back."

Cunningham played the assistant coach of the Blazers in the commentary box: "If the Portlanders continue to maintain such poor defensive communication, they will definitely be severely punished tonight, and the coaching staff needs to emphasize the perimeter defense to the players. Those two goals, they should let the players know what the focus of defense is today."

Jordan, who was too **** the defensive end, missed an open mid-range shot.

"He's not hard-hitting either, so the defense will be tiring."

Jordan chose to press the Knicks on the spot as punishment for missing a mid-range shot.

Jerome Curcy kept up with his intensity, but there was a glaring problem with Pitino's 2-2-1 full-court press.

College-level competitions allow senior students to physically confront and crush.

Not in the NBA.

The average level and talent pool of players is unimaginable in college basketball.

It's impossible for the Knicks to stall with just two players.

Stockton easily got past Jordan's defense by cooperating with others.

In the frontcourt, Ewing and Stockton pulled to the weak side.

Stockton passed the ball, Porter double-teamed.

Ewing scored the ball to Stockton, who was open on the outside and scored the third three-pointer.

"Shh!"

"That's what I said, what the Blazers can't miss no matter what!"

9 to 6

The situation was suddenly reversed, and Pitino remained steady.

The players under Louis have found the feeling of the game in these rounds.

Given that the Blazers' shooting range has not improved significantly this season, Louie still focuses on pocket formations against them.

The pocket array is wide open. If you want to shoot three-pointers at will, you need to interfere with the mid-range shot, and play in the penalty area? Don't even think about it.

This is why, just now, Nance made a dunk, and Louis was as furious as if he had been hit by a thousand-year-old murder.

He would rather be shot by Jordan with a defensive shot than let the Blazers hit the basket, let alone an alley-oop operation that can mobilize the atmosphere.

On the Blazers' wing, Jerome Curcy, who was always pressing with Jordan, ran low.

In order to grab the ball, Rodman actually lost his defensive position.

Cauchy caught the ball and turned around, with only the basket in front of him.

He was about to make a dunk~www.readwn.com~ However, as soon as Cauchy was about to take off, Rodman caught up with his faster reflexes and knocked him to the ground from behind.

The referee blows the whistle.

Fans in Memorial Coliseum shrill boos, and Rodman's pounding on Cauchy reminded them of the Finals loss.

Yes, the Knicks ran over Portland with this dehumanizing means.

"The anger of the Portlanders is justifiable, Dennis Rodman's movements are not running for the ball at all, he is a butcher!"

"The Knicks can't be won by full-court pressing alone."

The fierce side of the Knicks is once again displayed in front of the opponent.

Having caused such a big movement, Louis snorted indifferently.

Where did this go?
