The Rest, Only Noise

June 6, 1989

Even if it has been confirmed that the Knicks will win the championship this year, there are still many people watching the game live.

The first game of the finals was held in New York.

Pat Riley is like wearing a cold mask, and he is lucky. He believes that even without the tragic and Pippen, the Lakers still have a fighting force in front of the Knicks.

The Lakers have Tyrone Corbin, a veteran of the Knicks; Kevin Johnson, a superstar ready to prove himself after the tragic and Pippen reimbursement; Derrick McKay, another who wants to prove himself while the main team is injured Strong bench gangster; Rad Sellers, a seven-foot small forward on paper, destined for parallel imports; Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, a veteran who has recovered his composure, can accept any result.

Despite a lot of injuries, the Lakers still have a good lineup, but compared to the Knicks, they are too thin.

"The best thing about the Finals for Kareem is that it's the last two stops in New York and Los Angeles, where there are a lot of people who love him."

Abdul-Jabbar clearly did not want to give up.

In the game, he worked hard, but Ewing firmly believed that he could beat the 42-year-old Abdul-Jabbar.

This is a fact. If the current Ewing can't abuse Kareem, then he doesn't have to mess up. Return the MVP to the league. The NBA can't afford to lose this person.

The only person in history who can't abuse Kareem of this age on the offensive end may only be Wes Unseld (1).

Ewing showed no mercy and dominated the basket with ease.

If Kareem had physical strength, he could still use a sky hook to save some face on Ewing, but his physical fitness declined rapidly.

The Lakers' inside line is a serious problem. They are currently waiting for David Robinson to join in addition to providing retirement for Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

Now Robinson has confirmed that he will join the Lakers in the new season, which is a great good thing for Los Angeles. Sending away a legendary insider in the history of the team, and welcoming another legendary insider in the history of the team, the tragic teacher is still It is the peak state. If Pippen further evolves, the reconstruction of the Lakers may be completed in an instant.

But in the finals, they still have to suffer.

In the first half, the Knicks led by 17 points, and in the second half, the difference widened to 30 points.

In the end, 128 to 94, the Lakers lost 34 points.

Ewing dominated the penalty area, scoring 34 points, 15 rebounds, 4 assists and 4 blocks, blasting Abdul-Jabbar to the ground.

"It's not that I like to hack him, this girl has always been very good at abusing vegetables." Mr. Louis Heiyou doesn't care, he still doesn't know how to hack him in a low voice.

Mr. You's ears were shaking, and he looked at him angrily: "Do you think Karim is a dish?"

"Although Kareem's career is high enough to make you look up, it doesn't affect the fact that he is a dish in front of you now, don't you want to say that you had a hard time playing against him? Come on, play well So hard, do you want to win the FMVP?" Louis teased, "I don't think you need to be so serious at all. No matter who wins the FMVP this year, it will be the least valuable in history."

"Go to **** you!"

The reason Ewing's mentality is good is that he has a coach who plays with his mentality every day.

From the first game of the finals, you can see the trend of the series.

As expected, the Lakers had no resistance.

Kevin Johnson's impact is good, but he brings the rhythm so badly that he doesn't take into account that Jia, who is inside, is 42 years old.

Although he had several amazing dunks on the scene, Abdul-Jabbar only scored 6 points and was dragged down without much offensive stamina.

Game2

Louis's wife, Monica Bellucci, who is popular with the masses, came to the scene in a red dress.

She caught everyone's attention.

Men have a hard time taking their eyes off her, and women will find ways to find flaws in her.

If she had any flaws, it was that she was impeccably beautiful.

Even France, which is prolific and beautiful, dared not rank any flower of France before her when choosing the beauty of the century.

In addition to Louie's wife, and his 5-year-old son Lu Wuxia, as a "connector", he got a one-on-one opportunity to play with Wilson.

Unlike some low-quality players who gave him a "QNM's basketball dream"-style hot pot, Wilson deliberately let him score under his own defense, and then lifted him up, "Little Mike, you are too Great, he doesn't look like Coach Lu's son."

"Benj, you've gone too far." Louie laughed through gritted teeth.

In addition to these episodes, when the MSG DJ introduced the names of the starters of both sides, Kareem was deliberately saved for last.

When he was ready to pronounce Kareem, MSG turned off the lights for him like his home.

The DJ called out his name in a loud voice.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, the leading scorer in NBA history, stood up and the audience cheered for him. This was a game that surpassed victory and glory. If Tragic and Pippen were not reimbursed, the two sides would be at loggerheads, but now, the suspense is almost gone. So Die Hard became Rain Man, and everyone, including Kareem himself, was very emotional.

Abdul-Jabbar has been on tour for six months, starting in Los Angeles, and wherever he goes, there are gifts for him there.

"It's been a long goodbye, maybe this will be our last handshake, maybe this will be our last game, but no matter what happens, I say Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Kareem, you mean everything in professional basketball for the past 20 years."

Then, both sides have to play.

It's still a ruthless contest, and fans are hoping the Lakers will stick around longer.

But the suspense never existed.

Ewing is dominant in all directions, his form is too good, and the 42-year-old Kareem Abdul-Jabbar cannot bring him any interference and pressure.

Tonight, Ewing still maintained his FMVP-level play.

A perfect insider performance of 26+13+5+5 continued to maintain his momentum.

Not surprisingly, he will complete the double first team + double MVP this year.

Louis didn't know if Ewing had noticed that the person who passed him the most was Wilson, the person who gave him the most assists was also Wilson, and the person most likely to win the FMVP with him was also Wilson.

But Wilson gave up the competition, passing the ball to Ewing to show he wanted the trophy that best represented a player's dominance on the highest stage.

This is what Lou wants to see. For Wilson, it is a pity to give up competing for the FMVP, but for the Lakers, the most advantageous point is Ewing. If you want to say who the Knicks have the most hope of winning the FMVP, it must be Ewing. .

Competition, but competition is not enough, and giving up the competition voluntarily and fully supporting Ewing to win the FMVP, the meaning is not the same.

This requires great determination and absolutely selfless character, as well as a mind that is hard to come by.

If Louie was a player himself, he wouldn't necessarily be able to be as selfless as Wilson.

A team that wants to stay dominant for a long time needs sacrifice. If Russell is not willing to be the fifth scoring point in the team and chooses to pursue data like Chamberlain; if Thomas is not willing to stand behind Bird and Sampson. Be a shadow assassin, if Pippen swells after winning the championship and feels he is no worse than Jordan to get the same status, if Curry alienates Iguodala after losing Finals MVP after 2015, not The history of the NBA will be very different if he proves that he doesn't care about that honor at all, and moves Iguodala to say to the media, "I will give everything to protect his honor."

It is easy to form a championship team, but how to maintain the relationship between players is a difficult communication study.

Louie was thankful that he had picked Wilson and no one else.

After the Knicks played two home games, they went to the road game.

Everyone knew the game wasn't going back to New York and the Knicks were going to end the fight in Los Angeles.

Abdul-Jabbar has played all of his career road games, and now he's going to do his final dance in Los Angeles.

Game3, the performance of the Knicks has seen ups and downs.

It was mainly Marley and Hornacek who tried to make shots and disrupted the rhythm of the game.

Louis was about to scold, but Wilson's anger took a step ahead of him: "If you don't play tactics well, get out of the way and sit on the bench!"

Marley was too frightened to speak, and Hornacek raised his hand to signal that he didn't play well just now.

Ewing still has Wilson's backing.

Gorilla sensed Wilson's kindness, and he began to give back to his teammates.

Although the two did not communicate much, the influence of selflessness gradually spread to the whole team.

In the fourth quarter, the Knicks played the best offense of the playoffs.

With 44 points in a single quarter, the Lakers lost their confidence.

3 to 0

The Knicks' sweep has taken shape, and the Lakers can't stop it no matter what.

On June 13, Los Angeles was full of sentimentality, and the Lakers would be eliminated tonight.

Jerry Buss knew this was an opportunity to build team cohesion, and since he couldn't win against the Knicks, he stopped focusing on the Finals.

That night, Game 4 of the Finals will be held in the forum, but the Lakers have advertised the game as "Kareem-Jabbar Night."

The Lakers brought in Dr. J, Reed Auerbach, and the uninvited and must-have David Stern, as well as many big names that are hard to see in other teams' home courts.

Dr. J called Abdul-Jabbar the best player of all time.

As a regular guest on such famous retirement nights, Auerbach would always say: "The biggest regret in my life is that I never coached Kareem (the name can be changed to any big-name player)."

Abdul-Jabbar received a huge round of applause~www.readwn.com~ and occasionally showed excitement, then played the final game of his career.

There was no miracle. The Lakers lost to the Knicks at home, with a big score of 0 to 4. They became the runner-up again, watched the Knicks defend the championship, and became the last championship team in professional basketball in the 1980s.

After this, waiting for the fans, is an unknown era.

That would be a golden age when Kareem, Dr. J, Bird, Tragic, etc. gradually faded, while another group of big men stepped into the foreground and became protagonists.

When the Knicks were defending, Louie didn't hear the deafening noise he had at Memorial Coliseum last year.

On the contrary, in Inglewood's forum, there were only tears left.

⑴ averaged 13.8 points and 18 rebounds, 48% shooting, the team won 57. That same season, Willis Reed averaged 22-14 as the more impactful player in New York, shooting 52 percent from the field, and the team won 54. How does Unseld get more than twice as many MVP votes as Reed? The two also met in the playoffs. You can imagine how angry Reid was. He led the team to sweep the Bullets in four games, averaging 28+15 per game.
