The Rest, Only Noise: Chapter 1062 Insider prosperity
When Mohammad Rauf came back after a suspension, Ramadan (also suspended from the team), it didn't attract anyone's attention.
The New York media ignored him on purpose.
Because such a player is a disgrace to the entire team, since the Knicks can't get rid of him, all the local media can do is make it appear that this person does not exist.
Rauf lost the privileges granted to him by the time of Louis.
He is no longer Stockton's first substitute, nor does he have unlimited fire rights, and can only sit on the bench to watch the game most of the time.
He's like a spectator with the best seat.
To Tomjanovich's surprise, he didn't complain.
Rauf accepted the arrangement, sat on the bench with peace of mind, and did not slack off during training. Everything was as it was before his comeback.
After Rauf accepted his new role, the Knicks had no problems internally.
Tomjanovich led the team to a record of 66 wins and 16 losses in his first season as the head coach, ranking first in the league.
In addition to the Knicks, there is another 60-win team in the West.
But this team is not the Portland Trail Blazers, but the Golden State Warriors.
The Warriors once ranked first in the league at the beginning of the season, but in the middle of the season, this young team also experienced ups and downs, and the final record was fixed at 60 wins and 22 losses.
From the perspective of the lineup, the Blazers, who were supposed to win 60 wins, lost many games that should not have been lost due to continuous internal friction.
The Blazers won 57 games, not only inferior to the Warriors, but also inferior to the Lakers.
The Lakers rank second in the West with 59 wins.
The Trail Blazers fell to third place in the Western Conference. This team is extremely chaotic, mainly due to Riley's continuous high pressure and Barkley's resistance.
Jordan is the soul of this team. Although Barkley is an outsider, he is undoubtedly the No. 2 man of the Trail Blazers.
When he voluntarily rejected Riley's coaching and was tired of the league's most intense training, conflicts and conflicts were inevitable.
In fact, on the eve of this year's trade deadline, Heat president and general manager Lewis Shafier almost traded Hank Geithers to the Trail Blazers.
The deal was held back by two factors.
One is Louie, who believes that changing Gaithers to Barkley will not bring about a qualitative change for the Heat.
One is the greed of the Blazers. Gaithers can't satisfy their appetite, they want more.
For example, adding Reggie Lewis or something, they are willing to send Xavier McDaniel to balance the deal, and "absolutely will not" let Miami suffer.
While both Gaithers and Lewis were unable to have the trade value they were supposed to due to heart problems, Shafiel was no Muggle.
There was no need for Louis to remind him, he rejected the proposal without even thinking about it.
So Barkley stayed in Portland.
Since he failed to trade Barkley, Riley could only give him privileges and try to appease the other party's emotions.
Louie has already demonstrated through Rodman's case in New York how dangerous it is to give players privileges.
The result of the Knicks' handling was to give Rodman the privilege, but to take him off the starting lineup as punishment.
But the Blazers couldn't move Barkley out of the starting lineup.
In other words, he enjoyed the privilege without paying any price.
Is the atmosphere in this team still alive?
Louie feels that the era of the Blazers' "stars" is coming to an end.
Thomas is old, Barkley can no longer bear it, Sabonis is not a decisive force, and Jordan alone is not enough.
In addition to the Blazers' internal conflicts, people's attention is more on those big men.
This year is undoubtedly the year of the inside line.
Sampson, Robinson, O'Neal, Olajuwon, Ewing, Manning, Mourning, Malone... They all played the best performance (or one of them) of their careers, and the league's scoring list ranks first Ten out of eight insiders.
Among them, the battle for the scoring title started between Sampson, O'Neal and Robinson.
Before the final game of the regular season, Sampson led by a narrow margin. Robinson needed 74 points in the final game to become the scoring leader, while O'Neal needed 56 points.
Chris Webb immediately announced: "I'm going to help our big guy get his medal!"
O'Neal said modestly: "Chris is too much, the scoring champion is just a statistic, there is no medal."
To put it bluntly, when it comes to swiping the data, O'Neill does not fall behind in the slightest.
Webber gave full play to his support ability and sent out 14 assists, 11 of which were for O'Neal.
No more, no less, O'Neal just scored 56 points and 14 rebounds in the final game.
This means that if Robinson wants to win the scoring title, what he needs is no longer 74 points, but 75 points.
Although Robinson is a devout Christian, he also knows that some things must be fought for by oneself, and God will not send the gospel to those who want to get something for nothing.
Thus began a notoriously wild battle for scoring points that will go down in history.
The Lakers' opponent in the closing game is the Minnesota Timberwolves, who are at the bottom of the league in defense, which provides a good background for Robinson to score points.
That night, the Timberwolves had no defense against Robinson at all. Amid the screams of "Mr. Robinson, ya ya ya" from the Minnesotans at the scene, they witnessed the Lakers center score 76 points.
Robinson narrowly defeated O'Neal and became the scoring leader in the 1993-94 season.
It also brought them to the same level as David Thompson and George Gervin in 1977-78.
There have always been scores in the final game to grab the scoring champion, but these four people have really attracted the attention of fans across the country.
In the first round of the playoffs, the Knicks met the eighth-ranked Philadelphia 76ers in the Eastern Conference.
The 76ers, who have been rebuilding since the late 1980s, are already on the right track after getting Alonzo Mourning.
Last summer, they were traded to James Worthy, adding an all-around forward who averaged 22 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists on the wing.
This helped them reach the playoffs this season.
It's just bad luck, I met the Knicks in the first round.
The arrogant "New York Times" put down harsh words for Philadelphians: "You can prepare to rest in peace, city of love."
Arrogance is arrogance, but there is nothing wrong with it.
The 76ers and the Knicks do not belong to the same level of team.
This is also the first time that Rudy Tomjanovich led the team to play in the playoffs as the head coach. After two consecutive games at home, the match point was in hand, but he invited Louis to the away game together.
But Louis refused for the simple reason that he was not a nanny.
If the Knicks don't sweep the 76ers, it means that Rudy's work is not in place.
In the end, although they also experienced some twists and turns, the Knicks still beat the 76ers with a double-digit score without any risk and advanced to the second round.
The Knicks' opponents in the semifinals will be between the Hornets and the Magic.
The addition of Webber's arrival to the Magic is obvious. This team, which was unable to break out of the lottery last season, has reached fifth place in the Eastern Conference this season~www.mtlnovel.com~ They not only proved that they have the best players in the league. The best talent proves that in addition to talent, Orlando has enough immediate combat power.
It is also a team that has completed rebuilding through the draft, and the talent accumulated by the Hornets obviously cannot be compared with the Magic.
Larry Johnson is slightly better than Webber at this stage, but O'Neal is an unsolvable existence.
Glenn Rice played out of order, and the Hornets dragged the series to the final game five with the performances of Dell Ellis and Terry Porter.
Then it was dominated by O'Neill and Webber.
In the fifth game, O'Neal scored 42 points, 18 rebounds and 6 blocks. Webber contributed 22 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists in a triple-double. Tim Hardaway also had 26 points and 6 assists.
Orlando stepped on Charlotte's ambitions and met New York in the semifinals.
