The Rest, Only Noise: Chapter 1201 good news and bad news
PS: Benoit Benjamin was returned by the other party because he failed the physical examination after the previous article was traded, but I forgot to write the second half, so I will add it here.
"We fought like shit!"
Unbearable Jordan fired at his teammates in front of the media.
He does have reason to shoot.
Because he's the best player on the Blazers team.
Pat Riley was still saying something like "We're not going to lose faith in this," and Jordan brought the contradictions to the fore.
"We didn't do a good job of defending on the perimeter! We didn't do a good job of attacking on the inside! Our game plan didn't work either, I don't know what we did well, if we continue like this, we can't win the championship. enough!"
When the media from big cities saw this scene, a flash of light came to mind.
"Michael Jordan unhappy with the status quo, what's next for him?" - Los Angeles Daily News.
"Michael, who was never going to make it in Portland, is finally getting that far?" - The New York Times.
"Which team MJ might choose to complete his dream of winning the championship? We will reveal the secrets for you 24 hours a day." - NBC special program "Burning Pro Basketball".
The Blazers were in turmoil.
Pressure from star players has forced everyone to step out of their comfort zone.
Game2
The Martians suppressed the Conqueror, scoring 45 points and 13 rebounds in a single game, plus Olajuwon's 35 points, 15 rebounds and 5 blocks, the Blazers beat the Lakers by 15 points.
This is what the Blazers should have done.
Because the Lakers are a single-core team, although Wilson has good helpers like Ellis, Tragic, and Laettner by his side, he is the only core of the team.
On the other hand, the Blazers have two super strong inner and outer cores, and with young stars like Mourning, they should not be dragged into a hard fight by the Lakers. The finals are the only thing they have to consider.
As a result, the Lakers used a blackout to let them know that things were not that simple.
Game3 is a game where Louie shows his coaching ability.
For Jordan, he offered a castrated version of the "law" that made the Martians uncomfortable.
Against the big dream, he let Ostertag defend his back and let Garnett and Wilson harass the whole court without interruption.
But this is not enough. The great offensive ability of the big dream guarantees the basic plate of the Blazers.
Louie didn't plan to beat the Blazers on defense, and that's not their strong suit.
With the Lakers' configuration, it's impossible to completely limit the Blazers on the defensive end.
Not on the defensive end, I can always target you on the offensive end.
Wilson's roll call, Ellis' fatal three-pointer, and the Cavaliers' inexplicable tacit understanding cooperated with the "Meteor" to make the Blazers helpless.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the stage was handed over to Liu Yuqing.
The Progressive of the Year winner put the game into garbage time with a runaway four-pointer streak.
118 to 101
In the last game, the Blazers beat the Lakers by 15 points. In this game, the Lakers gave their opponents a 17-point defeat at home.
"I thought the Lakers couldn't beat the Blazers in the Western Conference finals, but it turned out I was wrong." NBC's Bill Laimbeer laughed at himself, "Never underestimate the 'Messiah' team, this is the The only truth I've come to realize in my 10-year career in professional basketball."
NBC's gold commentator Bob Costas laughed: "Bill, what do you think the series is going to be like?"
"I don't know, if you asked me before this game, I'd say the Blazers are going to win by a landslide. Right now, I can't tell."
"However, I believe that MJ needs another 'shit' (beep) speech, and every time he does, Portland's combat effectiveness is improved."
Game4, the Trail Blazers found their touch faster than the Lakers in the opening game.
The Lakers didn’t feel good on the ground, and Louis could only let the players increase their defensive intensity and try to get as many defensive rebounds as possible.
The main thing the Lakers need to limit is the explosive output of Jordan and Olajuwon.
Against them, double-teaming is the first priority, and it is unrealistic to rely on single defense restrictions.
However, as Thomas, Chapman and others made a three-point shot, the Lakers' defensive strategy was adjusted accordingly, and they could not arbitrarily attack the 84 duo.
The Blazers' 84 duo had stable output, outside shots and inside attacks. In less than three quarters, the Lakers' inside line was smashed to pieces.
Ostertag left the field with six fouls.
Garnett was called a second-level malicious foul by the referee because he made a very bad move on the defensive end, and he was ejected and had to be suspended.
Louie thinks he deserves it.
What did Garnett do? He couldn't grab Mo Ning's rebounds, so he went up and pushed him from behind, but he didn't expect it to happen.
Just when Louis thought that Garnett's classic "fight and retreat" would appear in his rookie season, he found that Mourning did not have the strength to get up and take revenge.
Because Mo Ning was injured.
It was originally an act of a vicious criminal, and people were injured.
How helpless is Louis?
In the fourth quarter, he actually needed to count on Benoit Benjamin, who weighed nearly 300 pounds, to protect the basket.
"Not every player named Benjamin can excite Lakers fans," Kostas quipped. "When we see Benoit play, there are usually only two possibilities."
Laimbeer answered: "Yes, either the Lakers' opponent explodes, or the Lakers explode."
Louis gave Benoit the nickname of the Big Fat Pig, and in fact, the pig played his role tonight.
Although he can't run, he can rely on the basket to protect the basket.
His athleticism and explosiveness have been eaten up by the oils in his body, but he still retains the touch that was favored in the draft.
Wilson gave him space, the tragic division was responsible for feeding the ball, and Benoit played a certain role in the limited time.
But the Lakers' defeat is irreversible.
114 to 92
The Blazers took revenge for the last game, allowing the Lakers to lose 22 points in the forum.
"I think giving Kevin a second-level flagrant foul is still a little bit." Louie hesitated, "His move was terrible."
Louie decided not to help Garnett wash the ground, which is too bad.
"Coach Lu, do you think KG has been wronged?"
"No, the referee did it right, young players should learn the right way to play."
Louie's inconsistency in remarks makes people wonder what it means.
Back in the locker room, Louie scolded Garnett for five full minutes.
But the process is hilarious, because
"If you're going to do something wrong, you have to find a way to avoid the referee's eyes!"
"Even if you can't avoid the referee's eyeliner, you have to find a way to create the illusion that you didn't do it on purpose. You can't even make a **** bad thing about this? Do you have the ability? No, next time Let me see you doing bad things on the court, and you just go back to Chicago for me!"
"Okay now, you can't play in the next game. Who do you want me to arrange to fight Hakim? Can you use your brain with a capacity of less than 1KB to think about it before you **** do anything!"
From the time Louis started scolding to the end of his scolding, he always targeted only Garnett.
After scolding Garnett, he had nothing to say to the others, and walked out of the locker room swearing.
Garnett was scolded pale.
Ostertag tried to lighten the mood: "How big is 1KB?"
"An unmotivated idiot who doesn't even play on the computer?"
The unhappy person is more than Louis? Wilson is also very unhappy.
He had a vague feeling that his first career loss to Jordan was about to be unlocked.
The good news is that he didn't lose in the Finals.
The bad news is that to lose is to lose.
Therefore, Wilson maintained the high-pressure atmosphere after Louis left, making people afraid to talk about easy topics at all.
This is also as it should be. Garnett is suspended for the next game. The inside line is the disadvantaged Lakers. This time, it is basically impossible to expect any positive contribution from the inside line.
On the opposite side, Jordan and Wilson can cancel each other out. Who is going to top Olajuwon on the Lakers side?
Garnett is a rookie, but he is very important to the Lakers.
Without him, the inside line is basically the Blazers' show.
It is foreseeable that ~www.mtlnovel.com~ In the battle of Tianwangshan, Hakim Olajuwon will be as full of firepower as Nan Aizawa, who has lost his beloved, and become a big core that can be attacked, defended, salty and sweet. .
However, the Lakers soon ushered in two good news.
One is that the Blazers inside core Alonzo Mourning injured his knee and was out for the season.
Another piece of news is that Benjamin Wilson narrowly defeated Michael Jordan to claim his second MVP trophy of his career.
The first piece of good news was nothing to cheer about for Louie.
Because Olajuwon and Mourning have a negative chemical reaction, if he is injured, Olajuwon will be able to get a complete stage. With such a panacea as Clifford Robinson, maybe people will see a better team. Powerful Trailblazers.
As for Benj's MVP, that's really good news.
Congrats to Benj, but considering the Lakers' chances of losing the Western Conference Finals, this MVP doesn't look all that exciting.
