game2 basically became Jordan's showtime.

What is surprising is not that he dominated the game, but how he dominated the game.

Three points, three points, still three points.

Jordan suddenly became a shooter, and he was the kind of terrifying sharpshooter who could score three points in a row.

Louis was surprised by his rapid progress in shooting skills.

In the last half of the second quarter, his three-pointer was unstoppable.

Whether it is the bottom corner, the right wing forty-five degrees, or the top of the arc, as long as the ball comes to his hand, he basically throws it up.

Whenever the Knicks gave him some space, he would take decisive action.

When he hit the fifth three-pointer in a single quarter, he raised his eyebrows and provoked Wilson: "The era of showing off your power with one shot is over!"

Was Wilson indifferent?

Of course he wouldn't be indifferent, in fact, he always wanted to respond to Jordan.

This is exactly what Louis couldn't understand.

In a sense, Wilson and Jordan's roles were swapped.

Jordan became like Wilson in last year's Finals, and Wilson was like Jordan before this year.

He became self-esteem, alienated his teammates, and was eager to take over the game with his personal abilities.

Judging from the data, Wilson does not have to be responsible for the Knicks' defeat.

In the first half, Wilson scored 24 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists.

However, Jordan on the opposite side scored 38 points in the first half with less ball rights and more efficient and concise style of play.

Every three-pointer of his goal is helpless.

The scene that frustrated New Yorkers the most happened in the buzzer-beating stage in the first half.

Jordan received the ball from the outside and Wilson rushed to defend. In just 1.7 seconds, Jordan dared to make fake moves and swipe him, then quickly took a three-pointer, and shot like lightning before the last 0.1 second.

The lights were on, the ball entered, and Jordan scored 8 three-pointers in the first half.

"Jordan made seven three-pointers in the second quarter, all hit! His hot touch on the outside reminded me of last year's benj!"

"Now, three-pointers are no longer MJ's weakness, and it will become more difficult for the Knicks to defend."

After hitting this three-pointer, Jordan also broke the record of three-point shooting in the finals set by Benjamin Wilson last year (5 goals). It is worth mentioning that Wilson set a record in the last half of the second half of the tiebreak match, while Jordan made eight three-pointers like a god-assisted help in the second quarter. Moreover, this is not only a half-time record, but also a single-quarter record in the finals.

Even for shooters in the small ball era, it is extremely difficult to challenge seven three-pointers in a single quarter in the finals.

This state of never losing the shot made Jordan unable to help but turn sideways, shake his shoulders, spread his hands, and look like "I don't know why I've been losing the shot."

Wilson's expression was serious.

He took more shots and scored fewer points.

The Trail Blazers led the Knicks by 16 points in half.

It seems that they are going to be taken away by a wave.

"That's where Portland is powerful, their best players are willing to lower their posture to serve the team," Louis said sincerely. "They have really grown a lot."

"But New York won't bow its head here."

Even if he was 16 points behind, there was still light in Louis' eyes.

"This is msg, our home court!"

Louis met the autistic Wilson on his way back to the locker room.

There was pain and loss on his face because he knew that his playing style affected the rhythm of the team.

He obviously got more attacks, but he was not as calm as he used to be.

Instead, Jordan entered his role.

This is one of the many counterintuitive things on the basketball court - more people may not get more points.

"Coach, what should I do?" Wilson asked.

If Louis pointed him in the direction now, the past benj might have come back.

He will still be the most reliable player, everyone depends on and trusts him.

Of course Louis was willing to embrace the benj who was loved by everyone. If he had never seen the true face of benj, if he didn't know that benj was suffering for it, he would accept it.

The Knicks dynasty have been broken, either from beginning to end or find a path to redemption that reconnects the team.

"For the years, I've always been telling you what to do." Louis walked to the door of the locker room, "benj, you should find your own way, and I believe you will find it. No matter where this road leads, you just need to go forward."

Louis pushed open the door of the locker room and asked loudly, "Are you ready to fight back?"

"ctmd!" Miller replied loudly, "I've wanted to do something a fuck for a long time!"

"Then let's do it hard!"

In the second half, Louis started with Mohamed Rauff, Miller, Wilson, Stevens, and Youge.

In this lineup, Stevens plays in the fourth position.

But he basically doesn't do the job of the fourth position, and the inside fight depends entirely on Ewing.

Stevens' strategic value is to give the Knicks a stable three-pointer threat on the offensive end - his bottom corner three-point shooting percentage is stable at 38% this season - and he can make unlimited defense replacements on the defensive end.

Riley's infinite defense replacement strategy is the Pandora's box in Louis' eyes.

Once it is opened, the nature of the game changes.

The 2018 Western Conference Finals is a sign that the tactical annihilation of the small ball era returns to the original.

The Rockets, who were fully armed with the Warriors, used the same five-square lineup to fight unlimited defense and destroyed the Warriors' pass and cut. All the strategic points of both sides were destroyed and strangled to death, and eventually evolved into one side's single-handed fight and the other side picked and rolled to name. Before Paul fell, the Rockets were the advantageous side.

In theory, this is similar to the way the Knicks beat the Celtics in 1988.

Any sport that goes to the extreme will have a return to nature.

The Knicks brought the Celtics back to the original basketball rhythm of "no blood is not considered a foul". The Rockets brought the Warriors to an isolated island with no ammunition and food. The two sides attacked each other only by their personal ability. Compared to the Warriors, the Rockets lacked some luck, and now, Louis wants to know how lucky they are.

Is it a way to play with the Trail Blazers who have two unsolved players to play unlimited defense-changing stars with personal abilities to grasp defensive weaknesses?

The answer didn't disappoint Louis.

The defensive end plays unlimited defense, forcing the Trail Blazers to change their game rhythm and allow the stars to engage in more singles.

This is their favorite offensive method.

The stars' personal abilities are their advantage. When the Knicks suddenly come here, they will certainly accept it.

But when it comes to the defensive end, the Trail Blazers have a big problem.

The Knicks' 1-4out lineup can easily name one of Sabonis, Thomas, and Barkley through pick-and-roll.

Sabonis was in the penalty area and could not come out, Ewing or others took the ball and shot.

It doesn't matter whether Barkley can come out or not. The stronger Barkley on the offensive end is, the worse it will be on the defensive end.

The Knicks aimed at his loophole and fought as he pleased.

Thomas is a type with amazing defensive momentum but average effect.

Miller, who claims to be "spoken", has no time to say big talk.

In the second half, he used five three-pointers to sound the Knicks' counterattack horn.

Riley didn't expect Louis to suddenly use their infinite defense swaps, and he didn't expect that there would be such a way to play in infinite defense swaps.

Forced the Trail Blazers to use their personal abilities to fight alone, which seems to be a death-seeking plan, but in fact it is an effective breaking plan.

Because the Trail Blazers in the first half played with the selfless cooperation between the stars, and when they wanted to continue the momentum and expand the lead, suddenly, the Knicks told them with defense: Don’t think about cooperation, if you have the ability, you can kill me with your personal ability.

The 16-point lead turned into 7 points in one quarter.

The Trail Blazers' leading position was at stake. In the fourth quarter, Thomas and Jordan stood up.

First, Thomas scored 7 points alone, bringing the Trail Blazers' advantage back to double digits.

Then, Ewing dominated the penalty area, and Wilson's mid-range shooting was extremely accurate.

This also aroused Jordan's sense of crisis.

Jordan, who scored 38 points in the first half, scored only 4 points in the third quarter. In the fourth quarter, he scored 10 points in a row at the most dangerous time of the Trail Blazers, and helped the team win the first victory of the series with a great performance of 52 points.

119 to 108

This is the final score, and Jordan perfectly balances the trade-offs between individuals and teams.

It is no exaggeration to say that tonight's Jordan is the most powerful outside player Louis has ever seen.

Wilson's performance was good. Whether it was his personal offense in the first half or his performance in the second half, he helped the team at a critical moment.

If the comparison partner is not Jordan, his performance should be the best in the game.

Putting aside Jordan's 52 points, Wilson scored 38 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists tonight.

"MJ is always mj, he won a game for the Trail Blazers."

"But if the Trail Blazers want to defeat the Knicks, others need to work hard," Hubby Brown said objectively. "Last year's finals have proved that it is not enough to defeat the Knicks by just one or two superstars. The Trail Blazers must become a better whole."
