The Rest, Only Noise

For the Knicks, the 1986-87 season was an exciting season.

A veteran, with the young people playing the first result in the league, four All-Stars were born in the team, one assists, one rebounds, and one rookie. Defense, fifth on the block list.

Regardless, it was a successful season.

In June, in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference finals between the Knicks and the Celtics, Kevin McHale was with the team.

His attitude is very clear, to play injured.

But Louis firmly disagreed, and the two turned their faces on this.

McHale thinks he's strong enough to keep going, at least through the game.

Louis didn't give him any room to bargain at all, saying no, no.

"I **** hate you!" McHale roared at Louis, slamming the door.

Tomjanovich was there and he didn't know what to say.

"I really don't understand him." Louie shook his head.

And Tomjanovich doesn’t understand Louie either. For his generation of players, McHale’s injury is mediocre. If it’s a regular season, it’s a rest, but this is the Eastern Conference finals.

Generally speaking, it is normal to play with an injury, and everyone does.

How about if you get a salary that is more than ten ordinary people's lifetime income combined, but because of a little injury, you have to hang a free card at the most critical time of the season? How can there be such a good thing?

For people in later generations, this view, that it is an honor to fight with an injury, is difficult to understand.

Do you know who was the most angry about Wilt Chamberlain in the fourth quarter of Game 6 of the 1969 Finals due to a foot injury? His nemesis Bill Russell. Russell saw it as his final fight, and Chamberlain was the opponent he recognized. As a result, he quit the fight for a little injury? Don't fight him to the end? This is insulting him.

When Chamberlain woke up and realized that what he had done would not be accepted, he wanted to return to the game, but he had always had a tense relationship with him, and Lakers head coach Butch Van Breed had lost his mind after he applied to be off the court. Butch Van Breda Kolff yells: "We don't need him!"

As you already know, the smoky old Celtics won the game in Nelson's shot in the words of the LOGO man, "If you let him make 100 shots, he won't be able to make it."

Chamberlain established his reputation as the NBA's number one coward of his generation. Entering the 1970s, Russell retired with the reputation of the ultimate winner, and after retiring, he attacked Chamberlain's weak behavior madly until Russell ten years later. Only apologized to Chamberlain for this matter, and the two reunited.

This kind of plot is inherited. When you see Russell, Havlicek and Willis Reed playing with injuries, they are praised by countless people, and then when you see Chamberlain retiring due to injury, they are despised by countless people. Later, everyone knew how to choose. Once there are role models, there will be successors.

Well, the uncontrollable trend of holding groups after 2010 also came about. There is a good example ahead, no matter how hard everyone follows it, there will be no burden.

Louie, who comes from a future where players can get out of the game when they feel nervous on the court, can't possibly put his players at the risk of intensifying injuries.

Therefore, he rejected McHale's wish with an unquestionable attitude.

In Game 6 in the Garden, the Knicks played with the same attitude as before.

The Celtics put away the "promotion in sight" mentality. The Knicks are different from other teams in the East. They don't know what despair is, so after the epic of the day of mourning, they can still risk everything.

Tonight, the situation is not on the Knicks' side.

The Celtics played their best game because the Knicks challenged them far beyond their imagination. In terms of defense alone, the Lakers can't come up with the same level of defense.

The challenge brought by the Knicks is no less than that of the Lakers. For the Green Army, they played a round of finals ahead of schedule.

Also, Jim Peterson was reimbursed.

While the Lakers and Blazers also struggled, they'd be happy if they looked at the East and found the Knicks wrestled the Celtics into the mud.

In each of the four quarters, the Celtics led.

Ewing knocked out Sampson in Game 5, and Mr. One blew him back in Game 6.

In the fifth loss, the most dissatisfied person was Sampson, who was the first center in the league and was beaten by a second-year stunner.

The New York media also trumpeted Ewing for several days, and after enduring him for a few days, he did his best against Ewing tonight.

Ewing was beyond his reach.

Georgetown's three-year stumble has made his starting point different from Sampson's, and the heights he can reach in the future are also different.

Sampson can fumble his ceiling, while Ewing can only grow into a contemporary Bill Russell as much as he can.

Wilson's performance was reassuring.

From the third game, Louie did not let Wilson start, this is to let him avoid Bird who is in full swing, so as to appear in the connecting section and quickly enter the rhythm.

That was the case tonight, too, with Wilson contributing when he came on.

He started from defense, just like Kirilenko, blocking and stealing everything.

While Louie is habitually putting up a murder press, Wilson is also the core of the lineup, and he is willing to "hand over" himself.

Honestly, Louie hasn't seen a few stars who are willing to give himself up on defense.

Bird, Ewing, Garnett, Green... not many, the Knicks have two.

When Wilson entered the murder press, he had no star consciousness and was willing to defend the most difficult opponents, rolling around, flying to save the ball, throwing on the floor and holding the ball in his arms and not letting go.

It's something Louie doesn't see in his college game.

Because he doesn't need to do that.

This kind of willingness and selfless hard work cannot be reflected in the data.

Advanced stats won't tell you that some people who grab 8 rebounds per game are just grabbing teammates' stats, and some are getting an injury in exchange.

The Wilsons carried out Louie's intentions, lose? Of course, it is not unacceptable, but it is not to accept failure at the beginning of the game, but to do everything possible to be defeated by the opponent. If you lose like this, you will have no regrets.

The Celtics never imagined that the Knicks would use a full-court press in the second quarter.

This allowed the trailing Knicks to overtake.

At the same time, because of too many fouls, almost all the main players are troubled by fouls.

In the third quarter, Louis gave the bench more time. Their defense was okay, and their offense was far from the strength of the main force.

The Celtics seized the opportunity to play a wave of 10-1.

Since then, they have held the game in their hands.

Louis kept making substitutions, and in the middle of the fourth quarter, Ewing committed another six fouls.

Half a minute later, Oakley also fouled six.

Another minute later, Rodman, who came off the bench, committed six fouls.

Because of the tightness of the audience, they fouled too many times. The Celtics made 40 free throws in the first three quarters, and the game was sliced ​​into pieces.

This is a game that tests will, and it is also the Knicks' final insistence.

Wilson led a broken semi-main force to the end.

108 to 101

The Celtics made 49 free throws and hit 32.

Their touch was smashed by the Knicks' hand-to-hand tactics, and it was difficult to grasp the free throw, and even Bird couldn't make it.

"It was a suffocating game..." Heinsohn said. "The Knicks are a formidable opponent!"

At the end of the game, Benjamin Wilson, who has been a winner on the court since the day he played, shed tears. This is the first time he has tried his best and cannot be the final winner~www.novelmt.com~Coach, what can I do Are you doing well? "

Wilson wiped the tears, or sweat, from the corners of his eyes.

Louie put his hand on Wilson's shoulder, "Benj, I'm so proud of you, you did a great job!"

Wilson sobbed.

Louie called the players to his side and told them: "Go and say hello to our opponents, they played better and stronger, we have to be unwilling, but not lose our dignity, go to congratulate our opponents, and then you can Stand up and leave."

Players from both sides who fought to death on the court shook hands with each other at this time.

When Bird came up to Louie, he said, "You've brought out an amazing team."

Louis pursed his lips, if he said that he was not unwilling, it would be a lie.

After three years, the Knicks finally have the strength to fight the Celtics, and this is the end. Although the strength is poor, it is also difficult to accept.

"It won't be like this next year."

Louie said to Byrd.

"But don't lose in the final, I hope it's up to us to beat you."

Bird said proudly: "Then I have to try my best not to disappoint you."

When Louis walked to the reporter on the scene, he couldn't control his emotions and cursed "F***".

"Coach Lu, do you have anything to say about this season?"

In fact, that sentence F*** can explain everything.

"I'm proud of my players." And just like that, he had nothing more to say.
