Chapter 1074 Since it has happened, let it happen

June 18

On the eve of the seventh battle between the Knicks and the Trail Blazers.

Rudy Tomjanovic once again invited Louis to watch the game.

This time, Louis thought about it carefully for a few minutes.

He really felt that this might be his last chance to appear in Madison Garden as the president of the Knicks basketball operations department.

If the Knicks win, it sounds great to finish with seven consecutive championships.

If the Knicks lose, at least he will accompany the team to the end.

Unconsciously, Louis took "leave" as a prerequisite for considering this matter.

"I'll go."

Rudy asked, “Can I trust you?”

"I'll go."

Louis said again.

Rudy stopped asking, he didn't know if he could trust Louis.

He also had a strong feeling that Louis was leaving.

"Whether you come or not, we will win the seventh game." Rudy said stubbornly, "I will never let the championship break in my hand."

Louis said with a playful look: "Unless you plan to stop doing this year, the Knicks' consecutive championship will sooner or later be broken into your hands."

"That's not tomorrow night, either!"

Louis made a decision to go to the scene.

This is a decision that is not difficult at all.

Then, time came to the destined day.

The end of the Knicks' fourth battle with the Trail Blazers.

Like Louis, the Americans are already tired of the Knicks and the Trail Blazers finals.

Just like the Warriors and the Cavaliers faced each other in the Finals for four consecutive years.

The first time was a surprise, the second time was a notice, the third time was a thrilling, and the fourth time was apart from the fans on both sides, the third party should feel "Don't play anymore."

The difference between Nito and Qiyong is that there is only hatred between them.

When the game is over, no matter how long it has passed, the parties involved will never have a respectful attitude when they mention his opponent.

All that is just hatred.

In fact, this level of hatred is rare in sports history.

Even Russell, the leader of the Celtics in the 1960s who beat Jerry West out of depression, said at the former's retirement ceremony that "the greatest affirmation a competitor can get is to get the friendship of his opponent. Jerry, I hope you will be happy forever."

And you can never hear Ewing or Wilson say this to any player in the Trail Blazers.

It is this hatred that dislikes each other that makes the sixth scene unfold in such a bloody way.

If it weren't for the trouble of OJ Simpson's police and gangster chase scene, this game should have won the hearts of fans.

But in the days after that, the media in New York looked back on Game 6 in a unique way, finally giving fans a glimpse of what happened that night.

Many people have set their sights on the ultimate battle of this series.

"Will Portland still return in a miserable way this time?"

Sports Illustrated published a long article about the Trail Blazers.

This long article reviews the struggle history of the Trail Blazers after they chose Jordan.

According to statistics, after Jordan joined the Trail Blazers, they played a total of 18 life-and-death battles, and the Trail Blazers only won 4 of them.

For the Knicks, they had a good chance to win the championship last year and the year before, but they were both defeated.

Can you win this year?

Pictorial writers believe that the pioneers have no reason to be optimistic.

Sabonis and Thomas' season reimbursement is like a curse on the Trail Blazers.

Bill Walton's championship seemed to have exhausted the team's luck, and they were entangled with bad luck.

That night, Madison Square Garden was crowded.

Excited New Yorkers filled every seat.

The next explosion point in the Simpson case is still waiting to break out, and fans can finally turn their attention to the last game of this crucial series.

Louis and Lorraine appeared for a long time.

All the audiences stood up to pay tribute to him.

"Can you really give up so much love?" Lorraine asked.

Louis smiled and waved to the fans, whispering: "I don't know."

Since both the Knicks and the Trail Blazers are absent, the lineups of both sides are not familiar to fans.

The Knicks' lineup is Stockton, Wilson, Stevens, Camp, and Ewing.

The Trail Blazers' lineup is Jordan, Cauchy, Barkley, Mason, and Clifford Robinson.

Due to injuries, Riley is ready to play seven players tonight.

The Knicks have an absolute advantage in the lineup.

The Trail Blazers can no longer bear the injury, and the Knicks don't care.

They did not forget how the Trail Blazers won the sixth game and the seventh game, they wanted to defeat the violence with violence.

However, Stern did not want to see the seventh game become the sixth game, so he ordered the referee to tighten the scale of the game.

After taking three fouls at home, the Knicks found out the referee's bottom line and decided to change their playing style.

This is certainly a good thing for the Trail Blazers, but the Knicks were not discouraged by it.

Not violent does not mean that you cannot play an intense game.

The Knicks will let the audience understand that there is a game that will make the commentator sigh: "There is really no love between these two teams."

Ewing dominated the inside.

From the beginning of the game, no one in the Trail Blazers could match him.

Mason was as weak and helpless as a toy in front of him.

Double-teaming can have a certain effect, but Ewing's teammates won't watch him get hit.

They will definitely run, either go to the basket to catch Ewing's pass and attack the basket, or run to their own sweet area to catch the ball and shoot.

Ewing gave the Knicks a 10-point lead in the first quarter.

Riley switched Mason to Nance, and the other four remained the same.

In the second quarter, Robinson and Jordan's three-pointers allowed the Trail Blazers to catch up with a lot of points.

But Wilson's response ball and Doug Christie's breakthrough layup gave the Knicks a 9-point lead.

Barkley made a lot of effort.

Kemp stood up and fought with him.

Jordan continued to shoot three-pointers, and his touch felt good.

Stockton's substitute Sam Cassel also performed well.

This is the picture that the Trail Blazers least want to see.

The Knicks are all open, but they need to rely on the stars to keep things going.

Jordan and Barkley tried their best, but every time they exerted their strength, they were like fists hitting cotton, and they did not get any effect.

Because there are always people who stand up to resist their attack.

Or core players like Ewing and Wilson.

Either an unknown person like Kassel or Christie.

The only variable in the game was that Kassel sprained his ankle. Stockton was expelled by an overly sensitive referee for tying Jordan's egg. Fans didn't know who else could take the ball to control the Knicks.

Tomjanovic called out Mohamed Rauff, who had been neglected for a long time under his command.

Fans know that he is the one who blasphemed the Stars and Stripes, and it is also the "rat shit" that has stained the Knicks with stigma.

But the fans did not boo him, and no one gave him cheers.

It was like he was not on the field until he kept shooting three points.

Rauff's first shot was a three-pointer from Ewing's pick-and-roll, and he knew his feelings were coming.
