The Rest, Only Noise: Chapter 827 Eye-catching city bonuses and Miami\'s plea for help

Chapter 827: The Enviable City Bonus and Miami’s Rescue

The Knicks defeated the Hornets 4-1 and advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals for six consecutive seasons.

The next day, the league announced the winners of the major awards of the regular season.

One round: Jordan, Wilson, Drexler, Malone, Sampson.

Second team: Stockton, Mullin, Pippen, Barkley, Ewing.

Three teams: Isiah Thomas, Kevin Johnson, Hank Gaethers, Danny Manning, Brad Doherty.

The ten players in the first and second teams, except for Stockton, Drexler and Pippen, are all members of the dream team.

And Pippen is a member of the quasi-dream team.

In addition, there are many capable contenders for the best team but lost for various reasons, such as Mark Price, Petrovic, Reggie Lewis, Bird, Rodman and Kemp.

The best defensive team was screened by the Knicks.

First defense: Jordan, Wilson, Rodman, Robinson, Ewing.

Second defense: Stockton, Buck Williams, Pippen, Kemp, Sampson.

Defensive Player of the Year is Rodman.

The sixth man of the year is Kemp.

Most Improved Player of the Year is Chris Jackson...

To be honest, Louis blushed seeing so many people on the team win.

Not surprisingly, a large number of awards for Knicks players has caused overwhelming controversy.

Many questioned Stockton's selection to the second team and second defense.

Fans outside New York felt that KJ, Dumars, Thomas, Price and even Mookie Blaylock were superior to him.

The doubts about being selected for the second defense are even greater.

Dumars was squeezed out of the first defense by Jordan, which made the Detroit people complain, and then they discovered that it was more than just a defense? There is no second defense either!

In addition to the Pistons, Indiana, Brooklyn and other regions are dissatisfied with Stockton's selection of the second defense.

But Stockton is just the least of all grievances.

Kemp's second defense, and Jackson's Most Improved Player, angered fans in multiple districts.

Among them, the most angry are the Indiana who broke the defense twice and the rare Washington DC.

It's okay for Stockton to enter the second defense. Is Kemp's defense better than Danny Manning?

Why did he enter the second defense?

The dissatisfaction of the capital people is mainly due to the dissatisfaction caused by the joy of the amazing progress of their newly introduced parallel import No. 2 Perivis Ellison this season.

Last year, the Clippers, with a swollen inside line, sent Ellison, who had been testing the waters for two years, to Washington.

Unexpectedly, Ellison, who claims to never be nervous, decided to realize his potential and play seriously after going to the capital.

As a result, he averaged 20+7 per game this season, compared to 8+6 per game in the Clippers' two seasons, this is simply a leap.

In any previous season, it is safe to be the winner of the Most Improved Award.

As a result, I ran into Chris Jackson this year, a recognized parallel importer who turned around in Apple City.

In this case, winning the Most Improved Player is actually not unpopular, but the opponent is also very competitive.

Just like Kobe's 2008 MVP, it's also been an embarrassment for Paul fans for many years.

With so many awards, if they can't continue their previous dominance in the playoffs, they will be seen as a joke.

The media outside of New York was waiting to see the joke.

Before the Knicks were a joke, Miami was a joke first.

Before the start of the playoffs, Heat godfather Lewis Shafir boasted: "If we fall in front of the Indiana again this year, I will not eat meat for a year!"

Louis thought at the time that Shafier didn't say he would not have **** for a year, which meant that he lacked confidence.

The Heat are indeed full of momentum this year. Except for the Knicks, no one in the East is afraid.

The initial growth of Gaithers, one of the league's most threatening outside ball-handlers Petrovic, All-Star wing Reggie Lewis, rookie first-team Steve Smith and veteran Sam Bowie.

Easily swept the Nets in the first round, and encountered the Pacers in the semifinals.

In the past two years, the Heat have played against the Pacers twice in the playoffs and were eliminated.

After hitting the Pistons in the first round, the Pacers want another round of hitting.

In the first game of the semifinals, Manning went crazy, with 41 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists in a single game. The single-core blasted the Miami flanks.

The Heat don't know who to deal with him.

Although Gaethes can be matched in size, Manning's offense with the ball is as flexible as a small forward, and his offensive methods are diverse. In the paint, there is also a throw that even Manute Ball can't block.

In the second game, Petrovic and Lewis defended the dignity of the second place in the Eastern Conference.

Shafir didn't know if it was intentional. He hugged Lewis after the game and said, "Miami has everything you can't get in Boston."

At this time, the Miami people did not notice that Gaithers was once again beaten by Manning.

To Gaithers, Manning was like a player who was born to restrain him.

Gaethes is good at pick-and-roll cuts and low-post offenses, and assist defense is far stronger than single defense.

The Miami people don't want him to consume too much, so after Gaithers entered the league, his position was quickly clarified.

The main thing is to eat the cake along the pick-and-roll and protect the basket under the basket.

His low-post offense, which was highly praised by scouts in college, has not been developed much.

This kind of positioning is people-oriented, and I don't want to put too much pressure on him.

It's just that, for an insider who lacks the ability to attack autonomously, the threat on the offensive end must be lowered to a notch.

Manning, the sufferer of Gaithers, is a living example.

Because of his height, he can't dominate offense and defense like Sampson.

The Pacers chose the right path, let him do what he wants on the offensive end, use Oakley to protect the rebound on the defensive end, and put a Blalock-style guard on the outside to increase the pressure. It is best to be a shooter on the wing, so as to open up space for Manning .

What the Pacers currently lack the most is a shooter.

When Louis came back to pay attention to the duel between the Heat and the Pacers, he found that the Pacers had already held the match point 3-2.

He reviewed games three and five.

These two games are all close games, one for the Heat and one for the Pacers.

After reading it, Louis found that the Heat's strategy was a bit strange.

In the second game, they were determined to give up their defense on the perimeter and seal Manning.

Judging from the results, Manning still blasted Gaithers, but it was difficult to control the overall situation while ravaging the inside line like in other games.

But in Game 5, the Heat cared too much about the Pacers' internal and external linkage.

The Pacers' wing shooter is named Chuck PersonSF, a 1986 lottery pick because of Louie. He accidentally fell out of the lottery and was selected by the Clippers.

Throughout the 1980s, the Clippers took away a lottery pick from the draft field every year, but none of them developed into talents.

Same goes for Person.

When Person's contract expired, the Pacers sent him a big contract, but the Clippers didn't match it and lost a powerful player in vain.

It was this man who changed the course of the series.

Although Manning is brave, if there is no Personn to stretch the space on the outside, the Heat can compress the Pacers' offensive space to a small range.

In that case, Manning either believed in himself, got pinched, or risked a pass.

The Heat were afraid of Person's touch, but they didn't try to use offense to influence the Pacers.

Louie wanted to call Shafier and try to talk about how to beat the Pacers.

Looking back, I thought it was too much for him to help the Heat rebuild, and he still needs to coach from a distance?

No, you have to give others some autonomy.

Who would have thought that on the eve of Game 6, Shafier himself called Louis for advice.

"Coach Lu, we have nothing to do with Danny Manning!" Shafir said sadly, "Hank is so weak in front of him!"

Louis Youyou said: "I really want to lend you Dennis, but I don't think Mr. President will agree."

"With our current manpower ~www.mtlnovel.com~ can we restrain that monster?"

In Shafier's mind, Manning was already a difficult monster to deal with.

"If you are determined to change, you can try it." Louie pretended to be modest and said, "But you have the second best coaching staff in the Eastern Conference, so you don't need me to point fingers."

"They are the second-best coaching staff in the Eastern Conference. If it weren't for our poor coaching staff..."

Shafier suddenly realized that it was not good to complain about his coaching staff in front of outsiders.

"I'm not sure you'll be able to communicate my intentions to your coaching staff precisely, and if something goes wrong, you may be held accountable for it..."

"If you don't make changes, the next game may be over. No matter what, you have to try. It's just a way to open up new ideas."

After Shafier asked in every possible way, Louis shared his thoughts.
