Chapter 863 Crazy Trailblazer, Desperate Knicks

Chapter 863 Crazy Trailblazer, Desperate Knicks

When Shawn Kemp was called for his sixth foul, it was like someone died at Madison Square Garden.

"You can smell despair in the air," said the Tragedian.

Louis looks back at the players off the court, who can replace Kemp?

McHale?Sely?Hikma?Rohaus?
In fact, it was only about the choice of McHale or Sely, and Louis chose McHale among the two of them.

Salley has more value on the defensive end, but McHale's offense should take some of the pressure off Ewing.

The Knicks have Stockton, Rodman, Stevens and Ewing on the court. They don't lack defense, they lack offense.

"Kevin, I know this is not the time, but I need you to get all the fuel out of the tank!" Louie put his hand behind McHale's back, "Larry Nance has also fouled four times, tell Patrick to hit their penalty area at all costs!"

"Okay, coach."

Louie didn't see tension in McHale. When he traded him from Chicago with the second pick, he just wanted him to bring young people.Louis did not expect that McHale would stay in New York for so many years.Perhaps his career will end in New York, where he has earned himself enough honor to have his jersey retired at the Garden.

Most teams have veterans like McHale. Some are eccentric, some are shy and quiet, some are passionate, and some are not old.

Until moments like this, people don't think about the sacrifices they made for the team, which was something that no one noticed before.

"Kevin McHale comes on for Sean Kemp!"

"The garden crowd is roaring!"

At that moment, Wilson wanted to stand up and ask for a fight, but was stopped by the team doctor.

"It's not 'the moment,' Benj," says Blair Kaminski.

With 10 minutes left in the fourth quarter, Barkley made a free throw, 79 to 77, and the Blazers took the lead for the first time since the opening.

"John!" Louie yelled at Stockton, "hit '2 High Rip'!"

This is McHale's exclusive tactic, and it has long been Ewing's exclusive tactic.Ewing has no objection to giving the tactics to McHale at this moment.

The Knicks' tactics were immediately deployed, and the Blazers were all too familiar with this routine. They deliberately intercepted McHale's down path and forced him to take the ball in a high position.

McHale shot immediately after receiving the ball from a high position.

miss
But Ewing, Rodman and Stevens made it difficult for the Blazers to protect the rebounds.

Rodman flew up from the crowd, took the offensive rebound high, and passed it back to McHale.

McHale shot again and made a hollow hit.

79 is better than 79
Defense and rebounding, those two things became the lifeline for the Knicks and the tools they used against the Blazers.

Barkley's offense attracted multiple teams and found Jordan.

Jordan missed an open shot.

Ewing grabbed the rebound, the Knicks attempted a counterattack and fell into a positional battle.

Playing the 2 High Rip tactic again, McHale received the ball in the low post and attacked the Blazers' penalty area with all his strength according to Louie's instructions.

Seeing McHale go up and down to break away from Clifford Robinson's defense, Larry Nance pounced relentlessly and knocked the veteran to the ground.

The booing came out accurately, and McHale got up to stop the young man who wanted to stand up for him, and said with a smile: "This is so bad, my body is very strong, let alone how resistant it is to fall!"

It was Nance's fifth foul.

Only then did the Blazers realize that their first rim protector was in a foul crisis.

But Nance's defense didn't flinch.

Pat Riley stood on the sidelines and encouraged: "The crazier their offense is, the more violently we have to fight back!"

Riley is a control freak and the best demagogue. His words stir up the blood of players like chicken blood.

The Blazers' offense hit the frontcourt, and Barkley passed the ball out after being flanked.

Jordan received the ball, pierced Stevens' defense with one step, and was about to attack the basket with a step, but was entangled by the latter, and was violently fouled before he even took off.

Jordan made one of two free throws at the free throw line.

80 is better than 79
The Knicks' offense continued to hit the basket. This time it was the cooperation between McHale and Ewing for an internal pass.

After Ewing got the ball, the attack was disturbed, but the Knicks' sprint to the offensive rebound made the Blazers unable to deal with it. The inside line was their most vulnerable point, and the offensive rebound was easy for the New Yorkers.

Rodman rushed down tonight's 9th offensive rebound, scored the second offense, and the Knicks overtook!

He showed off his shooting hand, the muscles on it protruded outwards, "You guys can't see enough!"

"Pay attention to Mickey!" Louie's reminder was still a beat behind.

After a bad luck, Jordan swayed past Stevens, entered the basket at a speed faster than everyone else, and carried Ewing's body head-on in the air. After the referee blew the whistle, he forced the ball away.

"Shh!"

Ewing landed and hit the basket, and Jordan punched him like a god and roared.

"At this time, Michael Jordan is the only superstar on the field! Charles Barkley has done his best, Patrick Ewing can't match him on the offensive end, Portland's era may really be coming!"

Wilson stood up, shook off the dissuading hand of the team doctor and walked towards Louis.

"coach."

"Sit back."

Louis' face sank, but he didn't look at him.

"Coach, I can last until the end of the game," Wilson promised. "I'm only shooting from the outside, I swear."

"Didn't you hear what I said?" Louis pointed to the bench, "Sit back!"

Wilson has only disobeyed Louie once in the six years since he entered the league.

The last time, and only time, happened in his rookie season.He didn't play the last attack as Louie wanted, causing the team to lose.The opponent at the time was also a pioneer.

Since then, he has not disobeyed Louis again.

When Wilson looked around, the magnificent Madison Garden had become a hell, and the Portlanders tried to rule New York with their will.

Conquerors cannot sit idly by.

He yelled at Louie: "I have to play!"

"Are you fucking deaf?" Louis finally looked at Wilson, "I'll let you sit back!"

In the middle of the argument between Louie and Wilson, McHale made his signature step up and down inside, sending Nance flying, and just as he was about to shoot, Robinson stepped forward and knocked his body from the inside to the outside.

"Beep!!!"

"That's it!"

Pat Riley's eyes were bloodshot, and his expression was mixed with the madness of wanting to win.

The boos were like a tide, like thunder, like a rainstorm falling on the stadium alone.

But no matter how the fans booed, they couldn't stop the Portlanders from implementing the "no layup principle" to the end.

"They've gone crazy!"

"The Blazers have disregarded sportsmanship in order to win!"

"It was a great game and an ugly game!"

McHale couldn't get up and his teammates helped him.

But he couldn't walk normally, and he limped to the free throw line to prepare for a free throw, which showed that he had been seriously injured.

"How many timeouts do we have left?" Louie asked the assistant.

Zhao Yuanzheng replied: "Two."

Louie immediately ran to the technical desk to ask for a timeout.

距离比赛结束尚有6分48秒,83比81,开拓者领先2分。

"CJ," Louie said, "you replace John."

"Dennis, you will play number four from now on."

Louis looked at the eager Wilson, "Benj, the only thing you have to do is shoot!"

"CJ, you and Benj use the shooting threat to attract the Blazers defense on the perimeter and create an offensive opportunity for Patrick."

"We need to use the shooters on the outside to more effectively oppress the inside of the Blazers!"

"On the defensive end, Benj only needs to keep up with his opponent, and doesn't need to participate in the inside defense. If CJ can't defend, he will lead people to the trap. Trust Patrick and Dennis."

"If they want to try for a layup."

Louis' expression turned grim.

"I want blood for blood!"

The timeout ended, the Knicks updated their lineup, and the Blazers made no adjustments except for replacing Nance with Mason.

It is understandable to switch to Nance. He has committed five crimes. It is a better arrangement to sit on the court for a few minutes and wait for the decisive moment before going on the court.

Anyway, the Trail Blazers' inside line will eventually be overwhelmed by the Knicks. Whether Nance or Mason is played, the result will not change.

What scares the Blazers inside is not Nance, but the rough fouls that don't know where they will fly out.

They imitated the Knicks to build a team, and they went to extremes.

Although the Knicks made rough fouls back then, they were not proud of it, and they did it every round to the extreme.

Arguably, Riley went crazy on this road, but they did push the Knicks to a corner.

"This lineup is too risky. CJ can't defend against the Blazers' flanks. It's unknown how much Benj's defense is left." Tomjanovich said worriedly.

Louie said helplessly: "We have no choice. If we don't decompress the offense inside, we can't win by defense alone. Patrick doesn't have indiscriminate offensive ability, and Portland has Mickey and Fat Boy, they can attack indiscriminately. We must do our best in team offense and interior defense in the last 6 minutes."

Chris Jackson executes two free throws made by McHale.

He threw it all in.

83 is better than 83
The two sides tied.
