The Rest, Only Noise: Chapter 971 barely fighting back
Before the conference finals began, the league first announced the regular season MVP winners for the 1992-1993 season.
This was a not-so-surprising surprise.
The mvp was won by Hakim Olajuwon.
Of the four teams that have reached the conference finals, the Blazers’ Jordan dropped a lot at the end of the season, and the Knicks’ Wilson and Ewing both had problems with insufficient data dominance, aesthetic fatigue and lack of storytelling, ranking first in the league. The Heat want to find out their mvp, just like the Spurs' 2014 Finals selection is as difficult as their fmvp.
Since these teams can't pick a convincing MVP, look for another team.
Olajuwon is locked.
Whether in the regular season or in the playoffs, Olajuwon's performance can be called heroic. In his first season from Houston to Los Angeles, he and Drexler led the team to the fourth record in the Western Conference.
However, by this standard, several other teams in the West will have some opinions.
For example, David Robinson of the Lakers, Brad Doherty of the Suns and Karl Malone of the Jazz, they all led the team to play a very beautiful record with excellent personal data.
However, Olajuwon is indeed the one with the thickest story.
He was forced to rot for many years in Houston. The world only knows that he is a weak team brush, but they don't know how pure the Rockets are.
Teaming up with Drexler with the Clippers, he had one of the best seasons of his career.
This is the only remaining suspense in the playoffs.
Then came the division finals and the finals.
The Knicks and the Heat meet in the Eastern Conference finals, in line with observers' predictions.
During the regular season, the Heat had a strong performance, ranking at the forefront of the league until the Trail Blazers pulled their hips. They overtaken with stability and secured the top spot in the league.
This year's Eastern Conference finals was also the first time since 1988 that the Knicks did not have home-court advantage in the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Miami
Louie isn't used to going to the road early in the series.
If it's Miami, though, that's a different story.
When visiting Boston, he'd be concerned that the team's hotel suddenly went off in the middle of the night, and a bunch of stupid fire alarms were fully equipped to put out fires that didn't happen.
This is, of course, Auerbach's nasty off-the-disk move.
If it's Miami, he'll be fine except for having to worry about players being overwhelmed.
In the evening, Louie also had dinner with the Heat godfather Lewis Shafir.
Shafir sincerely thanked Louis in the restaurant where it was only him and Louis.
"Coach Lu, I believe that there will not be another expansion team in the future that will go from being a bully to a championship contending team in just four years."
Under normal circumstances, Louie should be flattering Shafir.
But the other party is Shafir, and the two are too familiar.
Moreover, the fact that the Knicks are going to compete with the Heat is also very strange to Louie.
Suddenly, the big one was blocked by the small one on the way to customs clearance.
That felt so weird.
"This shows that your work is done well." Louis replied to Shafir.
Shafir said with self-knowledge: "Coach Lu, don't compliment me. I think the only thing I did right was to become friends with you."
Louis smiled lightly: "Sometimes, it's more meaningful to make one useful friend than a hundred useless friends. There are many people who don't even have the chance to make friends with me, and even some stupid pigs are self-righteous. I took it as its enemy."
Shafir laughed.
"Let me guess if that person's surname is Claus and looks like a pig."
"Yeah, he doesn't miss the crumbs when he eats it."
The two happily mocked the general manager of the Timberwolves.
For the meal, the atmosphere was anything but like a rivalry that was about to face off in the conference finals.
After the meal, Shafir said to Louis: "Coach Lu, I believe we will have a fantastic series, and whoever advances to the finals on behalf of the Eastern Conference can keep the championship in the Eastern Conference."
Louie smiled, "Yes."
In addition to thanking Louis, Shafir's intention for today's meal is to hope that Louis can control the intensity of the series.
The 1988 Eastern Conference finals, known as the breakout battle between Louis and Boston, was tragic and needless to say.
Although Shafir has been in the industry for less than five years, he is like those **** who are destined to get big scores. He has no powerful operations, no super smart mind, but he can recognize who is the father at a glance, and he knows who to mess with A good relationship can help him keep his grades on the line.
Louie used remote control to turn the Heat into what they are now in just four years. Although the Heat are now qualified to challenge the Knicks, if it will damage his relationship with Louie, he would rather give up this qualification.
Without Louie's help, he couldn't get anywhere in the professional basketball world.
Louis saw Shafir's thoughts and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Lewis, I believe the series between us is going to be great, and I also believe that whoever of us makes it to the Finals is going to beat the champions of the West and win the trophy. So, no matter the outcome, nothing will change, I'm still me, You are still you."
Louie is sincere at this moment, but in his heart, the Heat has never been a problem.
If the Knicks really don't make it to the Finals, then the rest of the Eastern Conference is no match for the Blazers.
And in the case of all healthy, the probability of the Knicks not making the finals is 0.
The Heat are very good, there are good players in all positions, and the depth of the lineup can be compared with the Blazers and the Knicks.
But they have a problem - whether the crown is luxurious or not depends on the most dazzling jewel in the crown.
The Blazers have Jordan and Barkley;
The Knicks have Ewing and Wilson;
The Clippers have Olajuwon;
Who is the Heat?
Dumas? Gaithers? Petrovic?
These three are all star players with distinctive characteristics, but they have not yet reached the threshold of superstars.
The Knicks had a similar problem when they challenged the Celtics in 1988.
At that time, the Celtics three giants were still at their peak, and the Knicks were dominated by first-, second-, and third-year players.
Even if Ewing and Wilson are super giants, they will have to wait until the 1990s for them to realize their talents and become super giants.
And that was 1988, and the Celtics were the better team by any measure, but with injuries that were terrifying.
Injuries are the biggest x-factor in the playoffs.
Unfortunately, the Heat can not see this factor.
Because the Knicks are all healthy and young, despite all kinds of turmoil, the coaching staff's excellent locker room control has minimized the impact of off-court incidents that almost ruined the season's prospects.
To win the Knicks, the Heat can only rely on hard power.
Otherwise, we can only wait for the young players to grow up.
Eastern Conference Finals
game1
The Heat, who are considered to be promising in the future, only want the present.
This determination is reflected in Petrovic.
In the Heat, Petrovic has gradually become a scoring player who can take over with the ball and can also be contained without the ball.
And, when the Knicks' Mohamed Raouf made a splash with an unreasonable 3-pointer, Petrovic was the first to respond.
He affects the game in a similar way to Raouf.
In Louie's eyes, Petrovic is like a Lillard who can play off the ball.
Of course, his athleticism is not as good as Lillard's, but the technical details are better, and when it comes to the hand, no one can match it.
In the face of the Knicks' high-intensity defense tonight, he showed tenacity, scoring 5 three-pointers in the half and 7 three-pointers in the whole game, scoring a team-high 36 points for the Heat.
Moreover, Dumars also scored 20+.
After the starter, the golden double guns combined to cut 50+, which is the answer to the Heat's victory.
According to statistics, the Heat won all games where Dumars and Petrovic scored 50+ points.
But tonight was an exception.
The Knicks have other players to respond to their offense.
Petrovic just the Heat scored the highest score, and the highest scoring player is the Knicks ace Wilson.
He scored an unreasonable 42 points on All-Star wing Reggie Lewis, who was known for his defense.
At the same time, Miller was delighted to see the hunt.
Petrovic's three-pointer made him itchy. The opponent scored 7 three-pointers in a single game, and he returned 6, and the audience scored 24 points.
The performance of the Knicks' double guns is not only not inferior to the Heat's double guns in the backcourt, but even has a comprehensive suppression performance in scoring, rebounding and assisting.
That's just one of the reasons the Knicks win.
The real problem is the inside line.
The Heat are not bad~www.mtlnovel.com~ Last summer, in order to deal with Danny Manning, they added a number of talented forwards in the draft.
But Manning was knocked out by the Celtics before he even got in front of them this year.
So these people can only be used on Bird and Sampson, and they have also played their due effect.
However, the Knicks' interior is another level.
Ewing averaged 18 points, 14 rebounds, 6 assists and 4 blocks per game after entering the playoffs.
Kemp had just knocked out Larry Johnson in the semifinals and was feeling hot.
It can be said that the suppression of the perimeter is one of the factors that the Knicks won the game.
But the **** of the inside line is decisive.
The Heat's insider group has little power to fight back in front of the Knicks.
