The Rest, Only Noise

On November 1, 1989, the NBA season opener officially started.

The league's opener opponent for the Knicks was the Portland Trail Blazers, who lost their competitiveness last season due to Jordan's fracture.

In fact, after Jordan was injured, Drexler played an excellent performance and was selected for the first team, but failed to lead the Blazers back to the finals.

It also caused a rift in their relationship because Paul Allen prevented Jordan from making a comeback.

But this kind of crack will not suddenly be enlarged, it may be like this forever, or it may suddenly be torn into a huge wound one day.

In Madison Square Garden, many stars can be seen.

One of the most eye-catching stars is the king of pop, Michael Jackson, who not only came to watch the game, but also sang "The Star-Spangled Banner" as the singer of the opening ceremony.

The other is Louis's wife.

At home, she's Lorraine Molina of Louis, and outside, she's Monica Bellucci.

She's now hugely popular, and with her performance in the first season of "Baywatch," Lorraine is seen as a **** symbol.

Each episode of the nightly drama is watched by nearly 7 million viewers.

This is an incredible amount of data, because its positioning is at night, that is, the time period from one to three in the morning.

Even so late, there are still 7 million men who choose to watch - not to mention a few women - and these people are attracting more people to watch through the word-of-mouth effect of running water.

The first season of "Baywatch" isn't over yet, but it's been renewed, and the producers have said that Monica Bellucci will be added to future episodes, which is exciting and exciting for the future. Fans of the actress are looking forward to her new work "Home Alone" next year.

Now, she's just sitting in the family area and letting CBS keep giving her every angle.

"In my memory, this is the first time the Knicks have played against the Blazers without a clear interior advantage."

The commentary partners sent by CBS are Brent Musberg and Hubie Brown.

That's exactly what Brown said.

Because the Knicks starter is Stockton, Miller, Wilson, John Salley, Sam Bowie.

The Blazers are Terry Porter, Jordan, Drexler, Larry Nance and Rick Schmitz.

With Jordan returning from injury, Drexler and Nance entering their prime, and Schmitz adapting to the rhythm and confrontation of the NBA, this year's Blazers are stronger than any previous year.

But there was still a haze over their heads.

That was the Lakers, and the much-anticipated David Robinson finally officially joined the Lakers after two years.

Compared with previous years, this year's Lakers are also an obvious 90s team. Except for the tragic master, the team is full of young people who have not yet reached their peak.

Midfield, Louie shakes hands with Rick Pitino.

"Lu, I want you to know that our defense this year will be much stronger than last year," Pitino said solemnly.

As long as Pitino is still the Blazers coach, Louie won't really see the Blazers as a confidant.

"I know."

Moreover, Louis had to numb Pitino.

The best thing you can do for someone who has the perfect hand but plays with the wrong strategy (obsessed with full-court press) is to let him dream.

Louis returned to his own court, and finally explained to the starters: "Other things can be hasty, but rotation must not; everything can be careless, but rebounding is absolutely not allowed!"

In terms of staffing, the Knicks, who temporarily lost Ewing, have many similarities with the Blazers.

They all rely on the talents of the wing players, and their defense is fierce. Since the Knicks currently lack Ewing, and the Blazers have a monster like Jordan on the opposite side, their defense must do two things well, protect the rim and flank key people. This key person is naturally Jordan, but Jordan is not an iron-headed boy who is pinched and beaten to the end.

Because he can pass the ball, it's a test of what Louie calls rotation.

Defensive rotations, with an emphasis on discipline, and Louie don't play the switch as much as coaches in the small-ball era, unless he's on a murderous press.

Because switching defenses means that a lot of dislocations will be explained out.

The dislocation should cost the opponent accordingly. This year, the Knicks have added a lot of small traps to relax their positions. Therefore, instead of using the flank’s athletic ability to execute defenses, he is more willing to use traps to entrap the opponent’s core players. If a Blazers player can get the ball out, it depends on how well the player rotates on defense.

That's what they've been training for the entire camp.

Rebounding, easy to understand.

The Knicks attach importance to rotation, and a pressing team like the Blazers has always focused on switching defenses. In this case, protecting the rebound is very important.

In the opening jump ball, Bowie's opponent was Rick Schmitz, who was 2.24 meters tall.

There is not much suspense. In recent years, Bowie, who has been plagued by injuries, has seen a lot of decline in his jumping ability. Schmitz has an advantage in height and bounce, easily winning the ball for the Blazers.

The Blazers' offense in the first round was a little anxious, and Porter quickly passed to Jordan.

Jordan shoved the ball to Drexler again, who didn't notice Wilson's lightning-fast recovery and gave a big cap from behind.

Salley just picked up the rebound, and the Blazers immediately pressed the audience.

Salley gives the ball to Wilson.

Facing the double-teams of Drexler and Jordan, Wilson should have passed the ball, but suddenly he stopped, accelerated, and knocked the arms of the two men straight forward.

When the trapeze and the glider caught up again and formed the second double-team, Wilson had already rushed past the LOGO.

He protects the ball behind his back with great ball-handling skills.

Wilson showed off the results of his summer training -- improving at least one level of control.

This is not prominent in the training camp.

Wilson is always like this, hiding in the training camp, and hitting the official game, giving the coaching staff an unexpected surprise.

He flirted with the "airplane combination" of the pioneers, and naturally won applause for him at MSG.

But at the same time the risks are huge.

Reggie Miller followed Bowie's screen to the top of the arc and Wilson passed the ball.

The former scored a three-pointer and scored the Knicks' first goal tonight.

3 to 0

"Michael, your defense seems to have regressed." Wilson provocatively provoked, "Is it because the injury is good?"

Jordan looked grimly.

Wilson is one of the few who provokes him on his debut but has not been beaten by him for a long time.

Because Wilson is like an AI that is constantly exploring and learning from failure, every time you knock him down, he will come back stronger in the next duel.

When Ewing and McHale start, the Knicks often start with a 2HighRip.

"2High" is a series of tactics, all of which focus on the inside line.

When Bowie starts, the Knicks will put the ball in his hands and give him a few seconds to look for opportunities.

The off-the-ball confrontation between Wilson and Jordan was at its peak, and if they were to fight with this intensity until the end of the game, both of them would have to be exhausted after the game.

As a result, the constantly running Wilson was the perfect bait.

The Blazers didn't see it, and they cared too much about the positions of Wilson and Miller. Unexpectedly, John Salley ran a diagonal line perfectly after a high screen.

Bowie threw an alley in an instant.

2HighFOREHEAD (inside cut empty connection)!

Salley easily catches the ball and dunks.

5 to 2

"Good fight, big man." Louie stood on the sidelines and gave Bowie a high five.

"My pleasure, coach." Bowie clapped Louie's hand happily.

It wasn't until today that he understood what it meant to play for this team.

Hubby Brown commented: "Many people say that the Blazers are the Knicks of the West. I don't agree with this view. Although there are many similarities in the personnel structure of the two teams, there are still differences in essence. The most important point On offense, the Knicks are a unit, the Blazers are not. Pitino is not as good at calibrating offense as Leader Lu is.”

The Blazers let Drexler drive the ball all the way.

Because last season he averaged 25+8+7 as a point forward when Jordan was reimbursed, which made people see his potential as a point forward.

Drexler could see at a glance that there were major flaws in the Knicks' mid lane defense.

So instead of slowing down, he continued to accelerate.

Miller, who was opposite him, was difficult to stop his breakthrough.

Drexler made a smooth pass and came to the paint to prepare for a dunk.

Just when he thought that everything was ready, just when he raised his hand, Sally and Bowie appeared at the same time.

"I really want to know if people's brains stop moving when they are moving at high speed." Tomjanovich teased, "How did he step into such an obvious trap?"

"Didn't you see the momentum of his rushing up just now? That guy, can you stop without a dunk?" Louis deeply substituted into the glider's perspective, "If it were me, I wouldn't care about traps or not, just rush in and slam the fuck. It's over! It's like a **** orgasm, Rudy you know, no one can say No to a **** orgasm!"

At the other end of the court, Pitino showed a strong fear of the trap that the Knicks just suddenly flashed.

Ernie Grunfeld, assistant coach of Pitino, said warily: "It's not like an accident, because they came out of the defense at the right time, just before Clyde started!"

On the other side, the Blazers were not good at attacking, and the Knicks hit a chase ball in the process of returning to defense.

The shooter was Wilson. He caught the ball in the process of follow-up and fast down, and found that the person guarding him was Terry Porter. He thought to himself, what kind of stinky fish and rotten shrimp, dare to guard him?

"What kind of **** switching is this?" Louis complained~www.readwn.com~ Wilson hit that goal and the score became 7-2.

To be safe, Pitino called a timeout.

According to the normal rhythm, at least the Blazers have to go through another round of offense without results, and then the Knicks counterattack and score is a good time to call a timeout.

Calling it now can only show that Pitino is too stable.

But this is incomprehensible. Since he is so stable, why would he choose such an aggressive pressing defense?

Pitino calls his system "the culling," which sounds bloody, and he hopes his culling system will spread across the league like the Knicks' murderous press.

But he obviously has the best defensive resources, but he doesn't know how to use them.

He was as steady as an old dog when he called a timeout, but moved like a rabbit when the dead ball was placed.

So this wave is because he is steady, so he is unrestrained?
