The Rest, Only Noise: Chapter 1016 Trailblazers are invulnerable
June 18, 1993
Game 6 of the Finals was held at Madison Square Garden, home of the New York Knicks.
"Tonight, perhaps for the first time in NBA history, it's the most popular TV show in America."
"I'm definitely more interested in the outcome of this game than 60 minutes (cbs) day in and day out."
At the scene of the game, nbc commentator Bob Costas and the newly promoted analyst, a notorious player who just chose to end his basketball career-Celtics legend Bill Lambir.
Officially, Lambiel hasn't retired yet.
He's just out of contract, and the Celtics want to keep him, and if he doesn't want to stay in Boston, he can go to other teams.
If he wants to continue playing, he can wait until the offseason to talk slowly.
However, Lambiel suddenly decided to sign with nbc.
He signed a five-year $4 million contract with nbc. Through the signing of this contract, he indirectly announced that his sports career had come to an end.
No farewell, no bird-like grand performance, no one but Celtics fans will feel sorry.
Costas smiled knowingly when Lambiel said he cared more about the outcome of the game than the biggest TV show of our time ("60 Minutes").
"Bill, who do you think has the advantage in this game between the Knicks and the Trail Blazers?"
If Lambiel hadn't signed with NBC, Costas would have been partnered with Hubie Brown or some other senior analyst, but Lambiel is too special.
The Celtics he represents have many stories with the Knicks.
Lambiel, who retired from the Celtics, obviously has more room for improvement than his previous life-retiring from the Pistons.
In the Celtics, Lambiel's dirtiest side, such as vulgar words, harsh hands, black feet and dirty hands, etc., were covered up by his tough character and competitive character to the greatest extent.
Lambiel of the Pistons is a devil. When he retired, the entire league was very happy.
And what about Lambiel of the Celtics? You have to admire the ability of literati to chew on words.
Bob Ryan called Lambiel the greatest "intimidator" who ever lived.
Intimidator/demon, those are just two names with the same meaning.
This is the difference between a little fool and a big fool.
Due to the influence of Boston's environment, Lambiel has more choices after retiring. When NBC offered him this contract, he signed it without saying hello to anyone.
It made his teammates and friends in Boston feel underappreciated, but this is Lambiel, who never said he was loyal to Boston, and to him, Boston was just a place that offered him a job.
Now that he's old and not as competitive as before, and the Celtics are weakened, it's time to leave.
Coming to NBC can bring Lambiel back to the spotlight. Hearing Costas's question, he gave the answer that most viewers are satisfied with: "I have seen the performance of the Blazers in Game 5, so the answer is obvious. The Knicks don't stand a chance."
When CBS broadcast Knicks games back then, the most effective commentary partners were undoubtedly Billy Cunningham and any commentator who could control the field.
Because Cunningham always blatantly smears Louis and the Knicks in the live broadcast, and then the performance of the latter will often give the former a heavy blow, thus creating a program effect.
Lambiel knew what NBC was looking for him to do, so he jumped right into the role.
"Oh, no chance for the Knicks? Bill, can you elaborate a little bit more?"
"Actually, judging from the performance of the fifth game, the Knicks have no problem, but the Blazers' game is too perfect, almost impeccable." Lambiel turned into Takumi, "The strength of the Knicks is still more than 95% of the NBA history. The championship team is stronger, but the Blazers have become the most powerful team I have ever seen."
Costas asked: "Better than the Celtics in the 80s?"
Since you want to brag, you must have the awareness to fight yourself.
Lambiel nodded seriously: "Yes."
Hearing this, Costas can only feel emotional. Lambiel is a natural analyst, and he knows what the TV station needs him to do.
Hearing that Lambiel signed a contract with NBC and officially became a professional analyst, Louis also sighed for a while.
Due to the youth filter, every generation of sports fans thinks that the generation of stars who grew up with them is the best.
For Louis, Lambiel belongs to the generation that grew up with him.
"I hope that vicious dog can speak a few human words on stage."
Louis and Tomjanovich talked and laughed.
The warm-up of both sides proceeded in an orderly manner.
The Blazers have almost no dunkers, and everyone is doing the same thing, which fits their current state.
Forget me, not even self.
Even Jordan, the most offensive ball-handler in history, gave up the ball to be a shooter and played brilliantly. This team has indeed reached the extreme.
Louis is very sober, the opponent is strong and the opponent is strong.
The Blazers' longboard is indeed better than dredd, the **** donkey's chicken, but although the longboard is long, the shortboard has not disappeared.
Their defense remains an issue.
The Knicks need to base themselves on their own defense first, and then grasp the defensive loopholes in the Blazers' positional warfare to open up breakthroughs. Both offensive and defensive ends will be under sufficient pressure, and the offensive end that seems impossible to target will naturally have problems.
In order to make this game a good result, the operation department of msg also invited Mariah Carey, the goddess of luck of the Knicks, to sing "The Star-Spangled Banner".
This is the seventh time that Kelly has sung for the Knicks. The Knicks have won all the previous six times.
And, those six wins all came in the playoffs.
After the national anthem was sung, the two sides began to make final preparations before the start of the match.
The Blazers' starters are: Thomas, Jordan, Robinson, Barkley, Sabonis.
But the Knicks have a lot to say here. Both Stockton and Kemp were placed on the bench, and Rauf and Stevens replaced their two starters.
"Coach Lu, what about Stevens? Can that white guy play? Does he have the ability to start?"
Spike Lee, who was in the front row, was horrified by the sight of the lineup, and since he was seated so close to the Knicks dugout, Louie could hear him if he spoke up.
What Li didn't expect was that Louis, who had always talked and laughed with him, turned a cold and serious face: "Shut your **** mouth!"
Li immediately stopped the behavior of laymen guiding experts.
He is a naughty-faced man, and he doesn't get angry when he is scolded. He even turned around and asked Louis's wife: "Monica, has Coach Lu not had a rest these days?"
"No, he's rested well." Lorraine replied.
"So angry, it looks like I have nowhere to vent my anger..." Li decided not to say anything to Louis tonight, so as not to be scolded.
At the beginning of the game, Ewing won the jump ball and ran to the right side of the frontcourt at a 45-degree angle outside the paint area to block Sabonis, wanting to come back to play the ball.
In less than a second, the Blazers' defense came.
Although Ewing's post-up singles are formulaic, Sabonis can't remember his formula and can only passively accept the move.
Once the opponent is passively accepting the move instead of seeing the move, Ewing's offensive efficiency is often very high.
So this hand in defense came just right.
The person who appeared next to Ewing was Clifford Robinson. After this person started, the Blazers showed an invincible posture.
Robinson's style of play is very similar to Rasheed Wallace, but he is different from Roaring Tianzun. He will not challenge the referee, nor will he become addicted to eating t.
He is more like a version with optimized personality and lighter body.
Judging from the on-the-spot effect, Rasheed Wallace, who likes to cause trouble, is more like an inferior product.
Ewing was blocked by Robinson and couldn't pass the ball to Stevens who fell into the open space. At the same time, he couldn't find the position of other teammates, so he could only shoot a ball according to his feeling.
"boom!"
"What was your attack just now?" Louis asked.
Ewing had nothing to say, he yelled "Mine" and returned to the defense as quickly as possible.
His full-speed return defense is not very effective, and the Blazers' counterattack is like this.
Jordan grabbed the rebound and made a long pass to Thomas.
In less than four seconds, the counterattack was completed, 2 to 0.
"Isiah's straight-line speed is still a bit slower than when he was younger."
Those who don't know think how good the relationship between Lambiel and Thomas is.
Kostas can only echo a few words about this kind of bragging about his old teammates.
After Thomas scored a counterattack, he was not in a hurry to retreat.
He stayed up front and made a solo press on Rauf.
Thomas's pressing strength is not strong, mainly based on harassment and slowing down the speed of advancement.
Moreover, for a shooter like Rauf, giving more consumption can also affect his shooting accuracy.
It took seven seconds for Rauf to advance upfield and cross to Wilson.
Wilson turned to face Jordan and made the same choice as Ewing.
They all want to blow up their opponents.
But the degree of difficulty with which he blasted Jordan is not of the same order of magnitude as the degree of difficulty with which Ewing blasted Sabonis.
Wilson tried to go left to break through Jordan's defense, but this step was predicted by the opponent.
Jordan quickly moved laterally, first locked Wilson's offensive line, and then made a close-fitting attack.
Wilson didn't expect that Jordan would dare to defend like this in an away game~www.mtlnovel.com~The ball in his hand was cut off.
This time, if it was a non-star player, there was a certain probability that he would be called a foul.
But old referees generally don't blow it, because this is a steal that makes perfect use of the hand-cheg.
Wilson's dribble was interrupted, and the Knicks' offensive round ended again.
Jordan rushed to the frontcourt to complete the dunk at a speed that no one could chase, 4-0.
"Defense should have been the strength of the Knicks, but since the beginning, the Blazers have used better defense to make the Knicks suffer consecutive setbacks on the offensive end." Costas said, "Patrick and benj seem to have not found their status yet."
Lambiel then said: "That's what I said, the Blazers are impeccable!"
