The Rest, Only Noise

Chapter 406 Milkman

The Knicks' tough schedule has just begun.

Madison Gardens two days after the loss to the Blazers.

The Knicks had some special guests at home.

Under normal circumstances, as long as the Knicks are in good shape, there will be no shortage of star fans at home. Their problem is that before Louis came in, it was not normal most of the time.

Therefore, even if a big coffee like Woody Allen comes to the scene, it will be considered to be looking for inspiration.

The Knicks were the object of ridicule there.

Counting the time, this is Louie's third season in New York. Last season, they won 50 and declared the end of the reconstruction. This season, they have two widely regarded champions, and they should officially become a strong team.

Judging from the record, it is correct.

The Knicks are currently in the top four in the Eastern Conference with two losses.

Fighting against a strong enemy tonight, MSG is full of people.

Marv Albert said: "The last time MSG had so many stars was in the early 1970s."

In addition to those famous New Yorkers, there is a slightly unfamiliar face.

Jennifer Rambis, she's here too.

She said she would be a Knicks fan if Louie drafted Benj.

She is now the owner of a Knicks front-row season ticket.

It's a pity today that Louie is not going to let Wilson.

As punishment for Wilson's heroics in the final moments of his last game, he was replaced tonight by Tyrone Corbin.

"What the hell, you don't let Benj!"

After the list of both parties was given at the scene, Jennifer asked in dissatisfaction.

Louie was unaffected. He looked at Wilson and said, "You shouldn't have any complaints about that, right?"

"Coach, I know I deserve it." It seems he has fully realized his mistake.

"The attitude is good, but I won't change my mind just because you admit your mistake and have a good attitude. You have to be a substitute tonight." Louis said, his eyes turned to the court.

It's still risky to have Corbyn because he needs to play against Dominic Wilkins.

This year's Wilkins has completely evolved and has become a top ten superstar in the league.

As long as he and Magic are around, the Lakers are a formidable team.

Louie meets Pat Riley in midfield, and they're old rivals.

"LittleLu, I'm really surprised you got New York to rebuild so quickly," Riley said in surprise. "The Knicks were rotten for ten years before you came."

Louis smiled lightly: "Even if you compliment me like that, I won't let these guys show mercy."

"Although you have risen again, you are still not our opponents," Riley said proudly. "The Los Angeles Blades are always referring to only the green ghost of Boston."

Louis still felt sorry for these people, the Celtics they faced were too strong.

In the battle of the magic bird, Bird was already mature earlier than Magic, and now he has Sampson and Thomas around him, two players who are enough to help him after he reaches the peak.

Because of the presence of these two, even if Bird suffers from a back injury in the future, he will have enough time to recover without having to carry the expectations of the entire team.

Because Sampson and Thomas were just about to get to the top when he was falling from the top.

Tonight, Madison Garden officials also prepared a gift for Lakers center Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

is a motorcycle.

It's to say goodbye to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, the troublemaker who said before the season this is his last.

Louie thought it was weird, didn't Kareem Abdul-Jabbar retired in 1989?

Could it be his butterfly effect again? Abdul-Jabbar retired early?

Anyway, Kareem forced himself to laugh, reluctantly thanking him as if the New Yorker owed him something.

If someone at the scene hadn't reminded him, Louis would have almost forgotten that Kareem was a New Yorker.

When he was traded from the Bucks to the Lakers, the Knicks had a chance to acquire him. However, as early as the 1970s, the Knicks had activated their passive talent of making mistakes whenever they had the chance to make big fish in the future: When superstars pressured management to seek trades, the Knicks were never ready to welcome such stars. preparation.

At that time, the Knicks only had some veteran players who seemed to be powerful but useless except for money.

The Bucks don't care about New York's stinky money, so Los Angeles got Abdul-Jabbar.

In front of his elders and fellow villagers, Jabbar's tensed expression seemed to be afraid of being seen, and Louis could imagine what he was like elsewhere.

"Don't you think there are a lot of similarities between you and Kareem?" Louie asked Ewing. "Do you want to be as annoying as he is?"

Ewing said with a low face: "His achievements are undeniable."

"Who cares about his achievements? A nasty guy, no matter how high his achievements are, is useless to me!"

Louie brought Kareem to educate Ewing, and Kareem ended his speech briefly.

The two sides rested for a while, and each put their players on the field, and the game was about to start.

Jump ball, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's experience won the opening ball for the Lakers.

The Lakers have not changed, Dennis Johnson, Magic, Wilkins, Kurt Rambis, Abdul-Jabbar.

Louie feels like they can beat the **** out of it with this set.

The referee didn't give Kareem much face.

The Lakers skillfully opened up the space, and the shooter ran in and out, leaving the Knicks' inside line unprepared.

Magic made a through ball from the outside to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

His position is so deep that Ewing can't stop him from scoring even though he is against him.

As a result, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's offense was called a three-second violation.

Tonight's referee is a character worthy of special mention, the **** of plague, Dick Bavita, who even Louis dared not provoke lightly.

How terrible is a person with poor business ability but conscientious and conscientious? Just look at Bavita.

The ghost knows how many good games he has destroyed, even if he has fallen to the point where everyone is shouting, the referee union still protects him, and the NBA likes to let him officiate key games.

Baveta convinced Louie that there are still referees in the league who dare to ignore the halo of stars.

Those three seconds are so good.

"Patrick, I hope your muscles aren't just for display. It's too much to be pushed that deep by that old bald guy. Can you be tougher?" Louie began to press Ewing.

Ewing looked down at Louie.

The Knicks' offense revolves around McHale's inexplicable low-post offense.

The iconic 2HighRip tactics caused confusion in the Lakers' defensive position, and McHale cut into the right low to receive the ball.

It was Wilkins who was defending him, and it was a man-made dislocation.

McHale was rude, turned over and made a jumper and hit the hollow.

Wilkins' inhuman body was helpless under McHale's attack.

2 to 0

Pat Riley nodded and praised: "New York is indeed a team full of potential. I have not seen other teams use this method to create opportunities for low post dislocation attack in the interior."

"They're going to play this way a dozen times a game in the post," Lakers assistant Bill Bertka said.

"Is there a way to stop them?" Riley asked.

"It's hard." Portka is the assistant coach in charge of offense, "They are system-centric, high pick-and-roll and screening are the dominant part of the offense, it is almost impossible to predict what routines they will use in the high post, they have too many tactics. already."

That is to say, as long as they run out of tactics, whether the low-post receiver can play the wrong position depends on the Lakers' defensive literacy.

But the Lakers are not a good defensive team.

In the frontcourt, Johnson made a mistake in possession of the ball.

Stockton's heart-like hand touched his ball and forcibly broke it off.

The Knicks counterattack immediately started.

Ellis stopped outside the 3-point line, and Stockton was looking for an inside attack. His ball found Tyler Corbin, who was going down to the paint.

The warmth that the Spurs gave to New York made a leap in immediate combat power in the offseason.

He's put on weight, he's faster laterally, and his defensive skills have improved significantly.

Therefore, Louis will arrange him into the murder press.

Against Wilkins tonight, he was also good against the former off the ball.

It's good to get down quickly and get points. He inherited the Knicks' fine tradition of scoring points quickly on the No. 3 position. In a trance, Louie saw Tony Campbell's figure.

He's better than Campbell in defense and can't shoot.

He's a Campbell without so many bad habits.

Wilkins is conceited as a superstar and likes to mess around when defending.

Baveta never gave superstars extra privileges. He caught Wilkins’s mess with his hands. The whistle sounded, and he gave Corbin a 2+1 chance.

Louie watched and applauded. He had never admired Dick Bavita so much.

"Tyron Corbin is the Knicks' most underrated player," Albert told the fans about him. "He calls himself the 'milkman' and serves wherever the department needs it. LittleLu wants him to defend. , he just defended. Tonight, in place of Benj, he did a great job and made us all drink delicious milk!"

5 to 0

The momentum was good today. Louis just opened his brows, and the whistle from the penalty area attracted his attention.

Bavita blew the whistle again, this time for Ewing's off-ball foul.

Looking at Ewing's innocent reaction, Louie believes that he is really innocent, but he must not try to reason with Bavita.

"Patrick, the referee has his reasons no matter what you say, don't complain, reflect on what you have done wrong, and don't cause trouble for others!" Louie shouted to make Ewing stop complaining.

Baveta was satisfied with Luigi's reaction: "If every manager is as knowledgeable as Coach Lu, my job will be much easier."

Ewing did not expect that even Louis would not be on his side.

Feeling aggrieved, he murmured, "What the **** is this?"

Kareem, who is always cold to others, rarely has empathy: "I understand you."
