The Rest, Only Noise

In early December, the Knicks faced the Detroit Pistons, the No. 2 Eastern Conference leader.

The Pistons are known for their inside depth.

Anyone who can start with the twin towers of Parish and Moses Malone, the double wings of Dantley and James Worthy, and a Rick Mahon on the bench can play the best in the league. Basketball stats.

The Pistons lead the league in rebounding rate and have a class advantage over the second-place Knicks.

The Knicks only lost three games in November, a record so impressive that one forgets that this is an extremely young team.

The Pistons are a meat grinder-style defensive team, Wilson feels knocked out, Dale Ellis is still suspended, and the Knicks system can't play an advantage without space.

Louie finds it hard to imagine them losing to a team that doesn't even have a decent point guard or shooting guard.

But if a game is grabbed 60 rebounds, 15 offensive rebounds, it can happen.

In the first game in December, the Knicks suffered a black opening.

That night, Louie called Ewing to his side for a frantic rant, because he rebounded too badly tonight.

"Why don't you say a lot of Ma Long's little actions?" Ewing asked in response to being sprayed.

"What about your little tricks?" Louie asked. "Is it the patent of that old bastard? Where did your little tricks go? Did Truk teach you or something?"

Ewing said sullenly: "When I make small moves, the referee will blow the whistle..."

"Damn, John Thompson didn't even teach you how to do small moves in the paint." Louie said sadly, "I'm so tired, obviously we chose a 22-year-old champion, why should I teach a child like Can I teach you like a toilet?"

Ewing was furious: "You didn't have to choose me!"

"You are standing and talking without back pain!" Louie snorted, "If I choose you, I may one day be uncontrollable by your **** rebounds, mindless defensive attacks, strange butter hands, and the home referee. The number of fouls is maddening. If I don't choose you, I may be shot by the fans that day."

Ewing's eyes wandered: "I don't care about that."

"What can you do? You're useless. It's the second year, and the card position is still a mess. How can I believe that you will be as good as Ralph in the future?"

Louie was squirting, and McHale came over.

"Excuse me, coach, you're pretty tired too, do you want to go out and relax?" McHale asked.

"This is Detroit." Louie was allergic to Detroit.

The Chen Guoren case a few years ago frightened Asians across the United States. Although people protested in succession, and Louis participated, it did not change the stereotype of Asians in the United States.

The crime took place in Detroit.

So, every time he came to Detroit, Louie wouldn't go out unless he could.

"No." Louie said to Ewing unhappily, "Go, find some more watches to dance on you, you'd better have some physical response, put some checks in their panties, so that you can't be seen on the field. side to show.”

Ewing blushed: "I don't have it, don't talk nonsense!"

"Don't pretend to be innocent with me, I still don't know what you do when you go out every day?" Louis has only one request, "I don't care what you do when you go out, there are only two things, don't fight, don't make news, don't be like Ellis. He's acting like a bastard."

"Are these three demands?"

"roll!"

After losing to the Pistons, the Knicks faced several contenders for the No. 1 overall.

There are the San Antonio Spurs who are lying flat, the Los Angeles Clippers who have not been better in Louis's impression, and the Kings who are not acclimatized in Sacramento.

Before Christmas, the Knicks lost two more games.

One was a double overtime battle and was avenged by the Lakers. At the last moment, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s sky hook widened the lead to 4 points for the Lakers and sealed the victory.

The other game was far more bizarre. It was the Phoenix Suns who beat the Knicks.

In this game, the Suns had 50 free throws.

All Knicks insiders have 5 or more fouls.

After the game, a Phoenix reporter embarrassed to ask Louie what he thought.

"Will I be fined for scolding the referee here?"

"Probably..."

"If I scold the referee here, will you glorify my foul language as a compliment to the referee for not winning?"

"I'm afraid not."

"Then I have nothing to say."

So down, the Knicks have lost six games.

But it's still very competitive.

The only team that could threaten the Knicks' lead is the Portland Trail Blazers in the West, and they're also one of the teams that want Manute Bol the most.

There are two principles for Louis to trade Bol, not to a strong team that may cause trouble for him, and not to a team that Bol does not want to go to.

Those who meet these two requirements have the best chips and have the best chance of getting Bol.

The Blazers obviously don't fit, and they don't have enough chips.

The Knicks are unlikely to be absent from the Christmas battle. The opponent the league arranged for them is the Detroit Pistons who played once at the beginning of the month.

The last time we played was in Detroit, and the referee obviously had double standards, but Louie wouldn't blame the referee for the loss.

If you don't play well yourself, the referee's double standard is just one link in the many chain effects that lead to losing.

This time, Dale Ellis came back, and Ewing was in hot form after losing to the Pistons.

In this month's statistics alone, he averaged 23 points, 14 rebounds, 4 assists, 4.8 blocks and 2.1 steals per game.

The 6.9 cap grabbing data is already a bit beyond Louis's cognition.

Whenever Louie asked why he had suddenly changed, McHale had a knowing smile.

"Definitely the Detroit Rose, he freed Patrick's soul!" Rodman babbled.

Detroit Roses?

Louie remembered the name, and asked a friend in Detroit to look it up.

As a result, as soon as the name was mentioned, the other party said: "Detroit Rose, a very hot and unrestrained call girl, I heard that Ewing of your team had an affair with her."

"This daring gorilla!"

However, when I think about it, I was in such a state after only being served a few times. If I was served a few more times, wouldn't Ewing go against the sky?

"Ahem...please ask Ms. Detroit Rose if she is interested in expanding her business to New York."

Louis only mentioned it that way, in a joking nature.

There's no way he could help Ewing pull the strings, it's illegal.

It doesn't matter how Ewing messes up in private, as long as it doesn't affect the state of the game.

Tonight, against the Pistons, the Knicks are in a state of sluggishness from the Motor City battle at the beginning of January, and everyone has a viciousness that wants to strip the Detroit people alive.

Moreover, the role of Dale Ellis is not reflected in many data.

If he's not there, the Knicks' system's perimeter space point, in fact, is a Wilson. But he's still getting used to the NBA's three-point line, and, with a thin stature, he can't stand the tossing of the Pistons' chainsaw killers.

If there is no Ellis, the opponent's defensive focus will fall on Wilson, and he will naturally find it difficult to play.

With Ellis, things are very different.

Pistons starter is Dumars, Worthy, Dantley, Malone, Parish.

A terrifying big four and a small lineup, in an era when teams only have one or no shooters, the rebounding advantage is magnified, and Worthy's playing the other two positions in the league is an astonishingly large dislocation.

However, with the Knicks starting with two shooters, their defense becomes a problem.

Missing prevention is almost the norm, and the phenomenon of being unable to keep up with people happens every round.

If the Knicks can't make 3-pointers, that's all.

But tonight, the Knicks looked like they were going to make all the shots they missed in that game at the beginning of the month.

Wilson and Ellis both went crazy.

The two combined scored 74 points, plus McHale's 24 points, Ewing's 16 points, the Knicks alone scored as many points as the Pistons.

The whole game, 134 to 114, the Knicks beat the Pistons by 20 points, and achieved perfect revenge on Christmas Eve.

Chuck Daly walked up to Louie worriedly and had only one sentence: "I hope the playoffs don't meet you too soon."

"Me too." After all, the Pistons were carefully prepared for the Celtics. If the Knicks blocked it for the Greens, the Bostonians would probably cry with laughter.

The reason why Daly doesn't want to touch the Knicks is very simple. Tonight's game proved that the Knicks' play style is very restrained by the Pistons' big four and one small system.

Once they open the 3-pointer, the Pistons can't match up, and the rhythm pulls the hip.

Ellis's activity on the court is reminiscent of what he does off the court.

The matter between him and the Clevelands has not been resolved, and the other party seems to be dissatisfied with the settlement money and is determined to appeal.

If it does turn into a lawsuit, Ellis has no chance of winning, and he may go to jail for a short time.

This is what the Knicks do not want to see.

"Dell is a guy who ignites himself on the court, especially when he has those things off the court, he's going to be better than usual," Louie told reporters.

Back in the locker room, Ellis gave few high-fives to anyone.

He's more silent than he used to be~www.novelmt.com~ I hope you take care of that. ' said Louie.

Ellis was silent for a while, then said, "I'll be out from time to time...I have a lawsuit to fight."

"You should be very clear that if you have a lawsuit, you will definitely lose." Louis believes that the only way for Ellis to avoid prison is to reach a settlement with the other party.

Ellis didn't answer, and he quickly disappeared from the locker room.

A geek, but a useful geek.

It's a pity that this weirdo is restless, he is as dangerous as a ticking time bomb.

If Ellis can't get this done, all Louie can do is trade him, and he can't have such a dangerous unrest in his starting lineup.

If it wasn't for being forced, Louis wouldn't do that, because it's hard to find a second off-ball marksman that integrates so well with the system.
