The Rest, Only Noise

The former king who lost his crown still has the majesty he once had.

1 to 3 into a desperate situation, the Celtics showed their desire to win in the away game, which is eye-catching.

In the first quarter, although the Knicks were very targeted, the Celtics took the initiative to increase the intensity of the game after they had slowed down.

Such a choice seems like at a world POM conference, the Japanese representatives voluntarily gave up their biggest advantage - the plot to the work - and launched the most crotch-stretching actor's appearance and weapon strength to compete with European and American bulls. compare them.

"Did the Celtics forget how they got pulled by the Knicks in the first place?"

Hubie Brown had an Ang Lee-style "shocked and incomprehensible" expression on his face.

"Is there a problem?" Dick Stockton asked knowingly.

"The score in the first quarter shows the intensity of the game - 26-24, the Knicks lead by 2 points, and after Bill Laimbeer was called for a technical foul, the Celtics seem to have come back to life." Brown hit the nail on the head. Said, "They actively increased the intensity of the game, increased the physical confrontation, Isaiah Thomas's drive and Larry Bird's outside shooting, plus Ralph Sampson who dominated the inside ... Indeed, in these three The Celtics seem to be able to beat the Knicks when they're playing well...but I still don't get it, what's the point of increasing the intensity of the game?"

Can Chris Ford, the acting coach of the Celtics, understand something old-timers like Brown don't understand?

No, he doesn't understand either.

Things on the field are deviating from his plan step by step. The players improve the intensity of the game on their own, completely beyond the control of the coaching staff.

"Everyone, we have to take control." Ford analogy, "This game is like a 1,000-meter relay race. Every step of the baton is important. Compared with us, the Knicks have an advantage in the depth of the lineup. If we If you get stronger early..."

"Coach, if we go step by step, the Knicks won't feel pressure." Laimbeer respected the old man Ford.

When he joined the team, Ford was on the team.

"Does it do any good to put pressure on the Knicks?" Ford asked. "Don't you know that's the Knicks' favorite style of play?"

Laimbeer replied directly: "That's why we have to do this. The Knicks have not been pushed to the limit for a long time, playing according to the normal rhythm, no team is their opponent, we must do this, disrupt the rhythm of the game, Let them think they have the advantage, but are they ready to maintain that intensity for three quarters in a row?"

After all, Ford is an acting coach, and if he wants to succeed Jimmy Rodgers, he must have a good relationship with the players.

"What about you guys?" Ford asked earnestly. "Ready to play three quarters with the Knicks at this intensity?"

"Don't say three quarters."

Bird helped Ranbir take over.

"It doesn't matter if you play the whole game!"

Isaiah Thomas looked at Sampson, "Ralph, New Yorkers have been preaching that Patrick Ewing is better than you these days. You really didn't see it, did you?"

Sampson said lightly: "Coach Lu replaced him early, or I can let you know if I really 'didn't see it'."

Unexpectedly, Sampson's title to Louis caused Bird's dissatisfaction: "Now that guy is the enemy, you can call him Louis or a bastard, don't call him a coach!"

"That's right!" Ranbir echoed, "That **** wasn't our coach six years ago!"

Thomas tends to be quiet when it comes to Louis.

He definitely didn't like Louie, but he often remembered the days when he played under Louie. Although it was only one season, it was unforgettable.

For him, Louie is not a good person, but he is a good coach, and the bowl of water is level. If he is still in Boston, the Celtics should not have so much chaos in the past few years.

"He's always been my coach," Sampson said.

"Che, you are grateful to others, did they think of you when they went to New York to eat delicious and spicy food?" Lambiel said sourly, "Ewing is his big treasure."

Then, before the start of the second quarter, Louie pointed at Ewing's nose and threatened: "I'll just **** warn you this time, this game, if I see you going to the low post and asking for the ball to hit the back, like you've taken the wrong medicine. Ralph, just roll down and wave a towel for me!"

Ewing looked at Louie resentfully, feeling distrusted.

Is Sampson amazing?

Is he invincible?

Is he a lion? Untouchable, untouchable.

Fortunately, Ewing knew what to do and didn't say his complaints, otherwise Louie would let him know why English is so sweet.

The second team members of the Knicks and Celtics have their own characteristics.

The Celtics' big three are all there, with Laimbeer resting and Jim Peterson and John Long playing.

Big Three + Peterson + Lang.

"Lu, not counting Bill, four of the five people on the Boston court are directly related to you, what do you think?"

Tomjanovich asked with a smile.

It has been six years since Louie left Boston. The players he recommended to Auerbach are still on the team and are the most important part of the team.

What else can Louis think?

"Pretty proud," Louis said blankly.

Coincidentally, in order to prevent Ewing from being blown up by Sampson, Louie asked Bowie to partner with Ewing.

The other three were Hornacek, Reggie Williams and Rodman.

The Knicks have four main players sitting off the court, but the offensive and defensive intensity brought by the second team on the field is not much worse than the main force.

The Celtics’ approach to increasing the intensity of the game, although beyond Louie’s imagination, is not too surprising. There is a gap in the strength of the two sides. If the Green Army wants to win, it needs to use intensity to make the Knicks’ role players misfire and force Nick. Struggle and their personal ability to fight for superstars.

Louie thinks Ford has come up with a trick that looks like he's courting death, but it might be the way to death.

Because the Celtics Big Three were in very good form tonight, as they wished, and when it was time to fight for the strength of the superstars, Louie was really not sure that they could win.

Therefore, destroying the state of the Big Three is the focus of Louis' work in the next three quarters.

He started with the Knicks' superiority in lineup depth and defensive configuration, and referenced Billy Donovan's opinion that "no double-teaming can't be done", and designed a grand plan.

At the heart of the plan is double-teaming.

If Isaiah Thomas breaks through, double-team;

Sampson/Bird low post attack, double team;

Sampson/Bird attacked with the ball and double-teamed;

As long as the Big Three of Green Kai hold the ball, it is not the kind of offense that catches and shoots the ball.

Also, the number of double-teams is limited to two.

At most two people are double-teamed, forcing them to play the ball.

The Celtics also have a hard time getting the ball, because the Knicks' defensive resources are too luxurious, just look at their roster: Ewing, Stockton, Alex Stevens, Kevin McHale, Benjamin Wilson, John Selley, Rodman, Hornacek, Reggie Miller, Brad Rohaus, Danny Ainge, Sam Bowie, Sean Kemp, Doug West, Reggie Williams.

Except for Rohos, the rest of the people, one of them is one, all have strong physical talent, can switch to several positions, don't suffer from speed, and defense is good.

The Knicks' partial attack can affect the opponent's core attack and effectively rotate the enemy who has got an empty position.

Louie is very sober, and the Celtics want to try the real intensity.

Rodman, Williams, Ewing, all against fierce characters.

Bird dreamed of the 1988 Eastern Conference Finals, and the Knicks guarded him with Reggie Williams.

He lacked understanding of this person, thinking that in order to protect Rodman, the Knicks would randomly find a cannon fodder to run the money.

Unexpectedly, Williams first started from behind Bird and illegally hit Bird in the name of stealing the ball.

Bird lost control, like skating on the court, and slipped several meters after falling to the ground.

And that's not considered a foul.

The real foul was when Williams took the seat with Bird, and he used an over-the-shoulder throw to knock Bird to the ground. The referee called the Knicks a defensive foul.

Even in such a difficult situation, Bird also hit a long-range mid-range shot from the corner, and he dribbled the ball to the front court and shot an open chasing three-pointer from the backcourt.

"That's it!" Ford only hated that he couldn't play to help Bird share the pressure.

Isiah Thomas is the giant who has been rectified the worst by the Knicks' defensive strategy. Long-range shooting is a long-standing problem, and due to his size, once he is blocked and pinched during a breakthrough, it is difficult to see clearly his teammates. Location.

Under the brutal defense of the Knicks, Thomas scored in a single quarter~www.novelmt.com~ Bird was under too much defensive pressure, Thomas was misfiring, and the Celtics needed a burst.

Sampson held the ball high, and when he encountered the combined attack of Ewing and Bowie, a problem that was not usually a weakness affected his performance.

In his heyday, Sampson's offensive advantage with the ball was that he could hold the ball high and force the ball into the basket even if the opponent had some help defending. He's been praised for his coping skills because he's so tall and can see opportunities that many small guards don't see, but that has nothing to do with his playmaking, it's purely a (physical) opportunity.

If his passing quality is not good enough, it doesn't matter. The Celtics have a lot of players who can pass the ball. Even if Sampson doesn't find the space accurately or the passing quality is poor, follow-up passing through teammates or secondary breakthroughs often occur. Can also create chances - but with a defense of the Knicks level, his inability to find the best opportunities on offense like the core of the ball and his poor passing quality are exposed.

John Long misses the ball multiple times.

In four minutes, the Knicks gave the Celtics a 15-5 run.

The Celtics got 5 points, all from Bird.

41 to 29

Facing a 12-point difference, the Celtics requested a timeout.
