June 14, 1992 Flag Day

Madison Square Garden, Midtown Manhattan, New York, NY

In the 1991-92 season, the Garden was the most suitable location for the NBA's final game of the season.

MSG has hosted many famous sports competitions. As a basketball mecca, whether it is the Blazers' victory over the Knicks to become the king, or the Knicks' victory over the Blazers to win the first five consecutive championships in the merger era, they have unparalleled historical significance.

Before that, Blazers coach Pat Riley had announced that they would win the series today.

Fans have reasons to believe in the Blazers.

At least, they're the second team since the 1988 Celtics to drag the Knicks to Game 7 in the playoffs.

Fans who knew the Eastern Conference finals that year knew that the Knicks and the Celtics were only a tiny fraction of the difference.

This year, the outcome between the Knicks and the Blazers is the same.

In the garden, nearly 100 celebrity fans built a beautiful landscape on the VIP seats.

Famous anti-bone boy and street thrower Eddie Murphy, Louie's friend Jennifer Beals, Woody Allen, who was recently revealed to have a secret affair with his adopted daughter, r&b music godfather Luther van der Ruth, Michael Jackson, Madonna, Don Johnson, Tom Hanks—compared to these people, Spike Lee is like the light of a firefly with a bright moon behind him.

Louie's wife, Monica Bellucci, however, did not lose sight of it as she sat beside them.

Although she has been called the "everywhere" vase by The New York Times, as an actress, each of her films has grossed hundreds of millions of dollars at the box office. Even a vase is the goat of the vase world.

Louie's son, Lu Wuxia, was shooting from the sidelines with the Knicks before the game.

Daughter Lu Wuyan is like a little devil pestering the celebrities in the front row to sign autographs and take photos.

After many days of rendering by nbc and various media, this game has been regarded as the most legendary showdown in sports after Bird and the Tragic Master in 1984.

The level of attention is unprecedented.

Where have Portland Trail Blazers players seen this kind of battle?

Just a random celebrity fan in the front row of the Garden is hard to see in Memorial Coliseum.

Before the opening, Mariah Carey sang "The Star-Spangled Banner".

After one song is sung, tonight's drama is about to start.

"In Game 7 of the Finals, the Knicks' starting lineup has slightly changed compared to the past," said Bob Costas of nbcsports. "Dennis Rodman started as the No. 3, Sean Kemp starts at the 4 and Benj starts at the 2. Erwin, Doug, what do you guys think of this adjustment?"

"Littlelu did something he's never done before," Tragic said. "It shows he's going to shorten the Knicks rotation."

"Yes, long rotations have always been a feature of littlelu."

"In the past, the Knicks didn't have the depth of their roster, so littlelu could stretch the rotation as much as he wanted to get everyone on the ball," Collins explained. "But Pat Riley's Trail Blazers followed the Knicks' The way the Knicks built the team and used the same style of play made the Knicks players who couldn't stand up to the confrontation lost their value on the court. If they were to keep up with the Blazers' intensity, the Knicks had to adjust those secondary players out of the rotation, which is littlelu What he has avoided in the past, but today, he has no reservations. In order to win this world-famous showdown, he chose to face the Trail Blazers with a shorter rotation and a higher roster strength."

"I can understand that," Tragic said. "Injuries to Reggie Miller and Reggie Williams disrupted the Knicks' deployment. Shortening the rotation was a helpless move brought about by injuries."

The Knicks' opponent, the Blazers, has not changed its lineup.

The same five people.

Neither Louie nor Riley has any reservations, so let's see the truth about this game.

"Remember our plan!" Louie reminded again and again, "There is no problem with shooting, but we should not put our hopes entirely on shooting. The inside is our biggest advantage. Tonight, we will destroy the inside of the Portlanders. !"

All players should be in unison.

Both sides start the game and the game is about to start.

Ewing wore a black singlet today to show his determination to put himself in the most dangerous situations.

At the opening jump ball, he roared and slapped the ball to his teammates.

The Knicks got the opening ball, and the Blazers were just about to get stronger when Stockton passed the ball to Wilson.

Wilson did not stop to catch the ball and hung it to Ewing.

Ewing grabbed the ball, collected the ball from the free throw line, and scored a dunk through Clifford Robinson's body.

"!#%"

He roared inarticulately, making the atmosphere of MSG irritate from the opening first round.

2 to 0

The Knicks' five-defense starter limited the Blazers more than they expected.

Rodman is more conducive to sweeping at the 3rd position. Ewing's determination to defend the basket in the penalty area and sweeping around like Kemp's watchdog caused Barkley, who was ready to play, to be attacked. Explained cleanly, was blown away.

"Charles, you suck, don't the donuts at the Four Seasons taste good? How the **** are you like you're not full!"

Spike Lee yells like an atavistic monkey to mess with each other's mentality.

The Blazers returned to defense, and Louis gestured to Stockton from a distance from the sidelines.

Stockton nodded in understanding.

Those who are observant can see that the coaching staff of the Knicks have all stood up, and, starting with Louie, everyone has dark circles under their eyes.

They haven't had a good rest these days because the game time is so tight that they only have two days to prepare.

Larry Nance is the only player in the Blazers team other than Jordan to make the All-Defensive Team, and his interior defense is the barrier that Riley dares to let him play at center.

However, the training quality of the Blazers is not high, especially the details of the player's defense are not well grasped, and Jeff Van Gundy found a lot of flaws in his position.

So, Louie and his assistants spent two days improving the "2high" tactics.

The 2high series of tactics is a double-high offensive system that the Knicks have used for many years. It was originally specially equipped for McHale. Now, Louis has made a lot of adjustments to the tactical route and style of play.

The 2diagonal (double high diagonal tactics) offensive system was born.

Because it is a temporary modification of 2high, it has not been specially designed and researched, so 2diagonal is not so much a new tactic as it is a new concept, new play style, general running and pick-and-roll screening have not changed.

Wilson pulled away on one side and Stockton held the ball at the top of the arc.

Ewing, Kemp, and Rodman each perform their duties.

Gorilla and Rain Man first made a high double pick-and-roll on Stockton, and Rodman pulled to the other side to prepare for an empty cut.

Only Clifford Robinson was the only one the Blazers came out to delay the defense, and Nance was still stuck in the paint.

As a result, Ewing pulled straight to the side for a catch-and-shoot jumper.

"Shh!"

4 to 0

Ewing, who became more and more confident, raised his right hand to show his muscles directly after the shot.

"The more I look at it, the more angry I am!" Louis said angrily, "We don't even need to play Game 7 if he beats us like this!"

Zhao Yuanzheng is a professional buck expert: "It's not too late for him to recover now."

"Damn, this bastard!"

The Knicks' five-defense starter defended after that and was the strongest defense many had ever seen.

Jordan broke through and scored the ball after being double-teamed. Porter, who received the ball, met Wilson's rotation and passed again. Robinson was rotated by Kemp again~www.readwn.com~ continued to pass. He jumped out like a wild monkey and gave him a heavy foul.

Barkley angrily pushed Rodman away, wanting to fight.

The red-haired Rodman came here today with the idea of ​​desperately fighting the Blazers. Seeing that Barkley wanted to make a move, he was neither afraid nor flinched.

Fortunately, the referee stopped it in time, otherwise the two are likely to fight in front of tens of millions of TV viewers.

"Referee, if you let them fight, the ratings will be higher!"

Madonna coaxed.

As a result, the referee only gave Rodman a common foul, the Blazers served, and the game continued.

The Blazers, whose tactics were cut off and their offense dead, failed to find their star.

Terry Porter had to force a shot against Wilson's switch.

But his ball didn't even touch the basket, and the moment Wilson made his shot, he jumped up and covered the ball off the court.

The Blazers ran out of 24 seconds of attack time as the ball rolled out.

Wilson whistled sarcastically to get Potter to look at him: "You're not going to let you score tonight, are you? You just had **** luck in your last game."

Louie saw Potter's face turning over several times, and he didn't have to think to know that Wilson was talking trash again.

This is the true portrayal of the Knicks tonight.

Thanks to the Blazers, the core players of the Knicks dynasty all remembered how they beat the Celtics to the throne.

It's not about flashy offense, it's about a **** beast of competition and aggression.

Just to this point, when the game is over, Louie has to hold Riley's hand religiously and say thank you.
