The Rest, Only Noise: Chapter 919 Portland\'s first loss
,!
In December 1992, Michael Jordan and Barry Bonds were the talk of the North American sports scene.
The former led the Portland Trail Blazers, known as the Avengers, unbeaten from early November to early December.
Portland's Avengers consist of Thomas, Jordan, Barkley, Nance, and Sabonis.
This team is luxurious enough to have Xavier McDaniel, Jerome Cursey, Anthony Mason, Brian Shaw, Clifford Robinson on the bench.
They have the best 10-man rotation in the league.
Pat Riley stole long rotations from Louie this year, and the Blazers are full of Changhong—he learned so much from Louie, but he didn't pay the tuition. This made Louis very dissatisfied.
So far this season, Jordan has led the MVP prediction list with an average of 25 points, 7 rebounds and 9 assists per game.
In this luxurious team, he is destined to be impossible to win the scoring title, so he has achieved the ultimate in defense and organization.
The organization averaged 9 assists per game, and the defensive end sent 3.2 steals and 1.2 blocks per night.
This is basically dpoy-level performance.
Even if the Blazers' opponent is the Knicks, the five-time champion, people believe that this team will win.
Last year they were able to fight the Flying Pigs and the Knicks to the last pitch of Game 7. Now with Sabonis and Thomas and Riley having a year to mature the Blazers' murderous tight end .
They have absolutely no reason to lose.
"This team came to earth to save basketball fans who have been tortured by the Knicks into a new era."
As for Bonds, who is as famous as Jordan, he is a supernova in MLB's younger generation.
Just signed the biggest contract in MLB history.
The team that let Jordan and his Trail Blazers lose their first game was the Los Angeles Clippers from the West.
How to deal with the Blazers, Louie showed it last season.
It's just that the Blazers were too weak inside last season, so one Ewing became their unsolvable problem. This year, the addition of Sabonis made this problem a history.
The Clippers win because of Olajuwon's blowout of Sabonis and Drexler's hatred of Portland.
On the night of December 13, the Clippers challenged the Trail Blazers away.
Every time the glider takes the ball, the deafening cries of the fans can be heard. In just a few years, he went from city darling to Oregon public enemy.
Fans hate him.
Because he betrayed the city.
The Portlanders hoped that Drexler and Jordan could become the Jerry West and Elgin Baylor of this generation—but, before West rose that year, Baylor was still the boss of the Lakers until he was injured. The logo man took over the position of the Lakers' chief player.
The Gliders never got Baylor's status.
He was a supporting role from the beginning.
Obviously he came first...
If that's all it is, that's fine.
He could be in a supporting role, if he'd never been a lead.
Unfortunately, the "opportunity" to let the glider be the protagonist was given by Jordan.
In the 1988-89 season, Jordan was reimbursed for the season due to injury, and Drexler became the core of the team and was forced to lead the team forward.
It was in that season that Drexler discovered that maybe he shouldn't be Jordan's supporting role.
No one is born to be a supporting role.
The Blazers lost Jordan, but Drexler played the best season of his career, leading the team to the Western Conference Finals and losing to the Lakers.
The Portlanders thought it was a big deal that a single Drexler could take the Blazers to the Western Conference Finals—and it was a big deal—but the follow-up associations they made ignored the complexity of the human heart.
They feel that Drexler, who has proved himself, can also work together with Jordan.
As a result, the Blazers began to explode, and since then, two consecutive seasons have been ruined by infighting, and it was not until the summer of 1991 that Drexler was traded to return to the Finals stage.
As a result, Drakes was traded and he was a loser, so he shouldn't complain.
In fact, Drexler not only complained, but also full of anger.
After a hopeless season with the Bulls, he fell off the Dream Team -- and Drexler believed it was Jordan.
Because everyone knows that he and Jordan have irresolvable conflicts, and there would be no Jordan without him.
Given the choice between the trapeze and him, no one would choose the latter.
Let him be traded away from Chicago, this is a conflict of interest.
To let him lose the dream team is to avenge his personal revenge and exclude him.
One by one, one by one, Drexler remembered it all, and he showed a shocking performance this night.
Under normal circumstances, Drexler will have a hard time meeting Jordan.
As a result, Drexler's outside shot opened up.
In the first half, 5 of 7 three-pointers made the Blazers' defense confused.
They don't know how to anti-glider.
Because the glider shoots accurately, the breakthrough has the ambition of living to death.
The Blazers implemented the no-layup rule and knocked him down one after another, and he just sneered.
"I don't think your style of play is New York's opponent." The glider said heartily, "Didn't you lose last season?"
For someone like Drexler, who often underperforms because of too much thinking, suddenly makes up his mind to chase and hit hard, it is not good for his opponent.
Drexler's performance overwhelmed Jordan, but it was not enough to win the Blazers.
The Blazers make up the strongest team ever, and they have a lot of winning points.
Isiah Thomas, Charles Barkley, Sabonis, Nance and a set of murderous tight lines.
The Clippers used Olajuwon's nuclear weapon to blow up Sabonis.
Sabonis entered the NBA five years earlier than Louis expected, which means that he can play in a better competitive state in the NBA.
At this time, Sabonis has the strength of an all-star insider, but Olajuwon's forward attack happens to be the nemesis of all traditional insiders.
That night, Sabonis failed to guard Olajuwon, was beaten until his mentality exploded, and encountered a foul crisis early.
Isaiah Thomas is in excellent form, but after his shooting touch retreated, he broke through to the basket and met Mutombo and Olajuwon's defenseless defense.
Jordan didn't play well on the offensive end, and Nance couldn't break through the Clippers' defense.
Barkley is the only Blazers starter who performed normally.
With the intensity of the murder press, the Blazers dragged the game to the end.
At the juncture of life and death, the humble rookie Caratrill Sprewell surpassed Jordan by one step, dunking Nance and scoring 2+1, sealing the victory for the Clippers.
The Blazers suffered their first loss of the season.
The 24-game winning streak in the opening season ended.
"This game tells the world, don't think that the only contenders for the O'Brien Cup are New York and Portland, and Los Angeles is also under consideration—and this team from Los Angeles is not the Lakers we are familiar with, but the Lakers we know. It’s the Clippers! Fans, you heard me right, we are indeed living in an era where the Clippers are more competitive than the Lakers!”
No matter how competitive the Clippers are, the Los Angeles media will always favor the Lakers.
Even the Clippers are interesting.
The "Los Angeles Daily News" vividly proved that the Clippers were raised by a stepmother: "When the Clippers reach the Western Conference Finals, we will talk about competitiveness."
Louie didn't have time to pay attention to the impact of the Clippers' rise on professional sports in Los Angeles. After the Clippers won the Trail Blazers, he replayed the game overnight.
It's a pity that although the Clippers won wonderfully, as the number one enemy of the Blazers, the Knicks couldn't find details worth learning from in this game.
Because there are too many unrepeatable chances in this game.
For example, Drexler made 6 of 10 three-pointers in the game;
And after Jordan met Drexler, he didn't turn on the "die to me" mode;
In addition, the Blazers have a certain slack from top to bottom;
In the end, the Clippers are in great condition on the spot.
The most unrepeatable point is not accidental—it's that Louie couldn't imagine the scene where Ewing beat Sabonis like Olajuwon did this night.
As long as it is assumed that the target is Ewing, Louis will imagine the worst outcome—before meeting the Blazers for the first time this season, he adopted the most conservative method, assuming that the matchup between Ewing and Sabonis is even, 50/50~ www.mtlnovel.com~Even though Louis is not optimistic, he still wants to review the game for his players.
"I hope that when the Christmas game starts, we can try our best to win like the Clippers in this game." Louis said to the players, "Everyone knows that the Blazers are our biggest opponent. Since it is the biggest opponent, then whether it is The regular season or the finals. Whenever you meet them, you must do your best and take victory as the first goal. Do you have confidence!"
"It goes without saying!" Ewing slapped the table to boost morale, "We had a lot of injuries in the finals before, but we still won against them. Now we are all healthy and we can all play. I really can't think of it." How badly we have to play to lose!"
After hearing this, Louis smiled.
"Okay, if we lose at that time, I will pluck your bird feathers!" Louis threatened pervertedly.
Ewing broke out in a cold sweat, and what he said made Louis want to kick him even more.
"You can't do that, that's the most attractive part of my body!"
"There is no woman who doesn't like it!"
The Jamaican cannon king seriously emphasized.
