The Rest, Only Noise: Chapter 582 terrible pressure

Five minutes before the start of Game 4, Jordan did not score.

His first point, relying on an air cut to run out of opportunities, was about to dunk, but was fouled by Ewing and brought down.

"Patrick, are you serious?" Jordan thought it was normal to make a tactical foul, but Ewing's move just now was all about hurting him.

Ewing raised his hand to admit the foul, and said indifferently: "There are no friends on the court."

He made Jordan one of two free throws.

Then, with a big wave of Louis, Ewing and McHale were replaced by Oakley and John Salley.

Louis enjoyed every time he saw Oakley and Jordan play together.

What he enjoys is the process of changing the fate of players by himself.

Although in the timeline Louie is familiar with, Oakley was also traded to the Knicks to fight against the Bulls, but at the beginning, he was Jordan's bodyguard.

But in this timeline, Oakley was never Jordan's bodyguard, so naturally he couldn't be Jordan's buddy.

Oakley, was simply Oakley, New York.

Before the Celtics game, Oakley was the only offensively inclined player on the Knicks.

Even past the Celtics hurdle, Oakley is one of the worst-looking Knicks.

Oakley had only been on the court for a minute before something happened.

Salley missed the rebound and let it slip from his hands.

Then, Nance reached out and tried to take the rebound off.

He and Oakley grabbed it together.

But Oakley is not a person who is willing to share. He pulled the ball in his direction, and Nance did not back down. The two were at a stalemate, Oakley caught the eye, raised his hand and pushed Nance down: "How dare you f*cking rebound with me! You idiot!"

The booing at the Memorial Stadium has always been there, and this time it was intense.

But to the disappointment of fans, Nance and his teammates did not choose to fight this violent act.

Their behavior seems to be acquiescing to bow their heads.

This made Jordan very angry. He said angrily: "We can't just be beaten like this, we have to take the initiative! They think we are soft, but we are not!"

This conflict was judged by the referee to end with a jump ball.

For the jump ball, Oakley is certainly not Nance's opponent.

But in this conflict, the Blazers were too weak from beginning to end.

Hubie Brown said sharply: "The real problem with the Blazers may not be a question of strength. They remind me of the Philadelphia 76ers in 1977. That team had the strongest talent on paper, but after a fight , they collapsed because no one would stand up and fight for their teammates."

This is where the criticism of the Blazers begins.

But the big trouble the Blazers encountered was their inability to pass the ball to Jordan.

Rodman's off-ball defense is very good. Wilson, Oakley, Sely and others actively switch defenses, rotate, and catch the ball around the front defense. This is the main reason why teammates have difficulty passing the ball to Jordan.

Even if Jordan catches the ball, he can't do much.

Knicks is ferocious, vulgar, frequent physical contact, and the collision that wants to knock him down whenever he has the opportunity, so that he has never been able to mobilize his whole body muscles to compete.

It's as if instead of a basketball game, it's a wrestling match.

The number of hand-to-hand fights between Jordan and his opponents has far exceeded the number of attacks with the ball.

If the Blazers can't get the ball to Jordan, other people can only do it.

Drexler catches the ball in the low post. He doesn't have as many fancy skills as Jordan. Every time he gets the ball, what he does is simply swaying left and right, turning over.

His shot is not soft enough, and he hits the iron.

Stockton countered with a defensive rebound and recovered from the Celtics pass.

The key reason why the Knicks were able to destroy the finals in the finals was Stockton's awakening.

Stockton's performance is the reason why Rick Adelman eventually dismissed get out of class.

He can't even copy homework.

The Celtics' method of restricting Stockton is textbook-style, giving him a chance, allowing him to shoot from the outside, and forcing him to break through.

But the Blazers didn't have a rim-protecting madman inside, so they didn't dare to give Stockton a chance to break through. They wanted to defend against shooting and breakthroughs.

Stockton went to the basket, and after Jordan caught up, he wanted to give a large-scale foul.

He's done it!

To his shock, what he thought was a large-scale foul did not prevent Stockton from making a layup.

Jordan was called for a foul, but Stockton's layup was unaffected.

"Mike, are you tickling him?" Louis said sarcasticly.

Stockton's expression remained unchanged. He may not have intended to hurt Jordan's mentality, but his words did sound hurtful: "A thug of this strength really cannot be considered a foul in the Eastern Conference."

Another situation occurred that made Louie seem to be dreaming.

Stockton, who was about to win his first championship, publicly educated Jordan.

It's unbelievable that only Louis can feel this way.

Jordan, who rarely got the ball, did not get rid of Rodman's defense.

He shook vigorously, and Rodman's purpose was very clear.

Jordan can go left or right. The defense in the paint has been arranged, and it is impossible to shoot.

Jordan opted for a jumper from the free throw line, and Rodman interfered with the jump, obviously affecting his shooting arc.

He misses again.

At this stage in the first quarter, Jordan only scored 2 points with free throws.

The Knicks' strategy started to pay off, as Jordan was so dazed by the intense physical confrontation that he couldn't make a jumper.

The Blazers also prevented the Knicks' counterattack.

Jordan took the defensive rebound and threw it to Drexler.

The glider failed to make a fast break, and Sely came out to match up.

Halfway through Drexler's breakthrough, he felt unable to hit and passed back to Porter.

Porter passes left, looking for Jordan.

The pass was obviously high, and Rodman jumped forward, knocked Jordan's body in the air, and pointed the ball forward.

The two landed together. Jordan lost his balance and was unable to chase the ball immediately, while Rodman chased the ball with all his strength.

Now, let Louis be sure.

Debuting in the Trail Blazers may have given Jordan a better team configuration and allowed him to lead the team to compete for hegemony earlier, but he also lost the opportunity to confront the strong teams in the East, so he has not taken the initiative to increase himself. muscle.

He took the natural way of gaining weight.

He still puts on weight, but it's not on purpose.

So, when the Knicks dealt with him like Bird, he looked so embarrassed.

He's never faced this kind of confrontation in the West.

Honestly, you can't blame him either.

When the Knicks played the Trail Blazers in the regular season, Louis would deliberately let the team play in order to make the Blazers unprepared.

Although they can see the intensity of the Eastern Conference finals from the game video, how can they feel that kind of game without experiencing it in person?

Tonight, what the Trail Blazers encountered was the team that had fought the Celtics in the East.

Jordan saw his greatest weakness.

He has too little muscle, his weight is too low, and his confrontation is too poor compared to the beasts in the East.

Since the 1960s, basketball has gone from being skill first in the early 1970s to confrontation king in the 1980s. And this era will last for a long time. Unless the rules are artificially changed, the ability to confront will determine the stability of a player's performance on the big stage.

The Blazers' pass was interrupted, Rodman dribbled to the frontcourt, and was caught up by Jordan, but as soon as he passed the ball, Jordan was out of action.

It was Wilson who followed up.

He caught Rodman's pass, took off outside the paint area on the left wing, and a gliding one-armed dunk landed in front of Jordan's eyes.

Wilson looked at Jordan and said provocatively, "You are much easier to deal with than Larry."

"I don't have the quality, do you? You have to punish people for killing people?" Louie shouted, "Hurry up and get back on defense!"

Tomjanovich said happily: "It seems that Portland is over."

"Not yet." Louis looked at Jordan.

The confrontation is indeed bad, but he has the ability to avoid fighting.

"Hey, rip a sack for Mr. Joe!" Louie yelled.

Trail Blazers coach Rick Adelman heard Louie's words and thought the Knicks were going to do something again, so he was very vigilant.

Then, he saw Jordan successfully getting into position in the low post.

Drexler passes the ball.

"Let Michael get the ball in the low post, what are they trying to do?" Adelman didn't feel right.

The moment Jordan received the ball, Oakley immediately came from the upper line to attack.

Jordan liked the habit of hitting the line with the ball and got caught. He was forced to turn sideways to the baseline. At this time, Stockton, who was supposed to defend Porter, was as insidious as a naked hyena, suddenly came to Jordan's back, and violently poked the ball away from Jordan's crotch.

Jordan, who was squeezed by the force, was forced to kneel on the ground to pick up the ball, but in front of him, Oakley deliberately slammed forward, knocking his man and the ball away and flying the other.

"Beep!"

Darrell Garretson has played the game for decades, and this is the first time he has seen such a fierce pincer attack and such a fierce defense.

What is the scariest thing about the Knicks? As a referee, if you look at it from his perspective, the most terrifying thing about this team is not that they dare to fight, but that they can distinguish between fights and games.

Moreover, they never take the initiative to fight.

But they will force you to fight him ~www.mtlnovel.com~ If you can't fight, he will rule you physically and mentally.

Jordan is like a lone star on this play, completely trapped, flanked quickly, without giving him time to react, against the stop, the guard sneaking from behind, and the inside responsible for applying pressure and then pressing forward.

It takes less than two seconds from stopping the ball to being attacked, dropping the ball, and falling down.

In less than two seconds, the most legendary defensive system in NBA history, dedicated to a star, came out.

Out of pity for the Blazers, Garretson fouled Oakley.

But one foul couldn't save the Blazers from their near collapse.

Before the end of the first quarter, it feels like the Blazers have lost all hope.

The last team to give such a terrible pressure was the Celtics in 1984.
