The Rest, Only Noise

On March 10, Kevin McHale sprained his foot during a fierce battle with the Pistons.

Before coming off, he scored 18 points on 100 percent shooting.

His injury touched the hearts of many people. The Knicks were leaderless after that. In the face of the Pistons' melee tactics, the young man's adaptability was not as good as the opponent's.

The Pistons overcame the Knicks in a way the Knicks were good at.

This is the Knicks' tenth loss this season, and what is more frustrating than the loss is McHale's injury.

He suffered a high bone sprain in his right foot and will be sidelined for 5-8 weeks.

Losing McHale means more to the Knicks than just losing the 4 and the team's scoring title.

You must know that McHale was in excellent condition before the injury, averaging 25 points and 11 rebounds per game. He is the guarantee of the Knicks at critical moments.

Because they have too many young people.

Except for players like Jordan, Abdul-Jabbar, Sam Jones, Kobe who are born killers, most superstars, the most important lesson is to learn how to play the key ball.

Maybe they're doing well in regular time, but when it comes to life and death, they don't know what to do.

This has happened to a lot of players.

The same is true for the Knicks, who have since encountered the New Jersey Nets, who they had played against them not long ago.

After a hard fight, the Knicks narrowly defeated their opponents.

March 15

The fifth battle between the Knicks and the Celtics started in the Boston Garden.

After two seasons of accumulation, the precipitation of four major battles this season, and the impact of the infighting incident at the All-Star Weekend, the Knicks and the Celtics have become undoubted enemies.

The game was played extremely hard.

Isiah Thomas was frequently brought down on the ground and eventually made 20 free throws in a single game.

He stood up hard every time, hitting 16 of those free throws.

Bird affected the game comprehensively, and Sampson blasted the Knicks' restricted area at will.

At this point, Knicks fans must be missing McHale.

McHale is not just as simple as averaging 25+11 per game, he also has a second defense-level defensive output, and is one of the few insiders in the league who can attack Sampson.

These are rough offensive skills, in most cases can only be passively beaten Ewing can't reach.

In times of hardship, Benjamin Wilson watched Thomas shine, his anger free.

He will never forget what Thomas did to him.

At the time of tonight's crisis, Wilson showed the responsibility and strength that a future superstar should have.

He grabbed the defensive rebounds, went straight to the frontcourt, and switched left-handed levers to score under Sampson's help.

Initiated GoSolo, facing fellow Ron Harper, who made a right-wing stop after shaking and ignored the interference jumper.

Holding the ball from the backcourt to the frontcourt alone, and hitting Thomas in a dislocation, he was like a red-eyed demon in front of the 185-centimeter Thomas. He just uses technology to win.

And then to the inside, dunks to get points.

He ran a 2High shot for insiders, caught the ball in the middle of the paint and turned over, giving Bird a face.

Another round, grabbed rebounds from the backcourt and went straight to the frontcourt. The Celtics defense had returned. He faced the three of the Green Army without fear. Under impossible circumstances, he continuously pulled the rod in the air to find an angle to shoot the board. hit.

After changing direction and breaking through, he was fouled by a low-handed throw and scored a foul. Before halftime, he started to break through and split the defense, and scored a dunk before the Celtics defense closed.

He almost relied on the combination of tactical system and personal ability to score 45 points on the Green Army.

Keep the suspense of the game until the last minute.

Seven seconds before the end, Ewing grabbed the offensive rebound, kicked Sampson, and made a dunk, which may have killed the game.

Larry Bird wiped his mouth indifferently and said to Wilson from a distance, "I'll catch the ball at the free throw line later and kill you all at the last second, remember!?"

Bird's "lore trailer" angers Knicks youngsters.

Louie put on a murder press to disrupt the Celtics' tactical arrangement with defense.

However, the system that Louie left in this team is too mature.

Physical talent and pressing alone won't stop Bird from getting the ball where he wants.

At the free throw line, Laimbeer opened the screen, and Sampson passed the ball to block someone, letting Bird take the ball from the free throw line.

At this point, there are only 2 seconds left.

Bird feinted the ball, and Ewing, who had come over, jumped up and blocked the shot.

"Oops!"

Bird hit the time difference and took off again, and on his side, Wilson caught up. It was his block that made some changes in Bird's steady shot.

Legend of Larry had to speed up his shot to avoid getting caught.

"Larry throws his last pitch of the night!"

"???"

"boom!"

The scene was wailing, but the ball bounced and landed at the center of the basket.

"Shh!"

"Oh! The Larry legend, you can always believe in the Larry legend! Bang! Bang! Bang! The great Larry legend!" Heinsohn roared uncontrollably, "Tommy adds a point for you!"

Wilson was full of unwillingness, and then saw Bird turn around and cursed with an expression even more disappointed than him: "Damn, it's not hollow."

Wilson bit his lower lip, Bird was in extraordinary form tonight, but Thomas was the star most of the time.

It's only this last moment where Bird really shines.

It was this moment that determined his height.

He is the first person in the league and the first person in history selected by many media.

He's unhappy that the game-winning shot fell in, the bastard

Bird took a few steps and suddenly stopped and said, "See you in the playoffs."

"We'll definitely meet." Wilson couldn't wait.

Today, Wilson proved himself again, as long as he plays, with his physical condition and style of play, no one in the Celtics can stop him.

Just like the Knicks can't prevent Bird, Sampson, Thomas.

Louie sighed regretfully, Bird did not give them time to counter the lore, and ruthlessly suppressed the last second and killed the Knicks.

When reporters in Boston asked him if Kevin McHale's absence had affected the outcome of the game, Louie put aside his usual brashness and displeased Boston.

"No," Lou denied. "Benj is good enough, but Boston is the best team in the league."

2 wins and 3 losses, the Knicks ended the regular season dialogue with the Celtics.

Compared to last season, they have improved so much.

That irreparable gap has shrunk to the point of being visible, and the Bostonians can no longer be complacent with their Big Three. They know very well that the young Knicks will cross Boston someday, but when will it be?

To be conservative, Louie decided to rest Kevin McHale until the end of the regular season.

At first, McHale was against it.

But his agent Wolfe agreed.

Because McHale has played in 61 games, the attendance rate is sufficient, during which the Knicks won 51 wins and 10 losses, ranking first in the league.

To pick the MVP, it can only be him.

After losing McHale, the Knicks will definitely experience ups and downs. At that time, as long as their winning percentage drops, it will reflect the importance of McHale, and the MVP will be in hand.

McHale's agent has extra minds, but Louie wants the team to go further in the playoffs.

The Knicks went 6-4 in March, without McHale.

To make up for his gap, both Ewing and Wilson took on more offensively.

What makes the Knicks embarrassed is that McHale can't play, and Dale Ellis, the most reliable outside shooter, has been out of form for a whole season because of his lawsuit.

He occasionally shines, but more often he is like the group of drug addicts in the late 1970s and early 1980s, lacking energy, lack of motivation, and far more bad form than good form.

Therefore, in fact, what the Knicks lacked, in addition to the core figures of the team, there was a number two that was extremely critical to the system.

That's why their win rate dropped after losing McHale.

Of course, you can also see McHale's influence on this.

He's really been crucial to the Knicks' rise this season, and they won't be able to play at this level with young people alone.

At the beginning of April, we will fight the Nets again.

Ewing dominated the penalty area, how to play, how to play, scored 39 points and 25 rebounds.

25 rebounds is a career high.

The Knicks got off to a good start in April, then won the Eagles, Pacers, and 76ers in a row, and lost to the Bucks to end their winning streak.

Played two consecutive games against the Pistons, losing one and narrowly winning one.

The remaining three regular season games are the Bullets, Eagles, and Cavaliers.

Only the Bullets are worrisome because when the Knicks play them, there are always ups and downs.

The other two teams are fine.

The game against the Bullets was the one that Louis prepared the most seriously. The Knicks played the Bullets with the attitude of fighting the Celtics~www.novelmt.com~ The tone was set at the beginning, with a wave of 35-20 offensive, stunned the capital city.

In the next three quarters, Louis used murder pressing twice to bring the difference to 36 points.

The Bullets, who wanted to beat the league's No. 1 Bullets at home, were slapped and cramped by the roaring New Yorkers.

Wilson almost hit 50+ in the fourth game of next season, and finally scored 49 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists.

Ewing and Oakley combined for 40 points and 26 rebounds.

Ellis also found his touch, hitting 5 three-pointers and scoring 21 points.

After the Cavaliers and Eagles, are not opponents of the Knicks.

The New Yorker didn't sweat much, so he knocked out the eagle and stabbed the angry Cleveland man in the chest.

The Knicks finished the 1986-87 regular season with a 66-16 record.
