The Rest, Only Noise

The reason Louie is no longer standing is not because the Knicks have sealed the victory, but because he feels there is no need to worry.

Not worrying doesn't mean they'll win, because he doesn't plan to let the murder press last the entire second half.

The Knicks' murder pressing "only" lasted for 6 minutes. During this period, the Celtics requested a timeout three times, and everyone who could be replaced changed them again. The result was still a 21-8 offensive wave by the Knicks.

Louis couldn't help but think about a question.

Is the intensity of the murder rush increasing, or is the Celtics relatively weaker?

Possibly both, the addition of Reggie Williams makes the Knicks' murder crunch impeccable, and he's a perfect fit.

Until they faced off against a fully healthy Celtics lineup again, Louie thought the 1987-88 murder press was the pinnacle.

Now, he may have to change his mind. .

Probably because they eliminated the Celtics for the first time that year, they left an unsurpassable impression in his mind. It now appears that the team, led by Wilson and Rodman, has surpassed that one.

Because of the Murder Press members at the time, there were not many people at the peak, and in this Murder Press, Rodman was DPOY, Wilson was the first defense, Stevens and Sally were both at their peak, and Williams was Ron · Hubble-style "hasn't this guy ever entered the defense?" defensive gate.

It was these five people, without any other desires, who ruthlessly gave the Celtics the most painful blow to their hearts.

These six minutes may make the Greens doubt themselves.

Now, 85-71, with a quarter and a half left.

Seeing Louie replace Williams, Stevens and Selly, MSG applauded.

They know what a great defense the Knicks have just put up.

Even more interesting was the Celtics' reaction, with the CBS director giving Chris Ford the shot.

When he saw the Knicks make a substitution, he turned his face directly, and after confirming that the Knicks made three ups and downs, he said something conditioned reflexively.

Someone lip-interpreted it, and the sentence was "Thank God".

The more the enemy is afraid of what you do, the more you should do it.

In any industry, this is a wise saying.

Louie knows how much the Celtics fear the murder press, and when he builds a 14-point lead in six minutes with this murderous tactic, his opponents will of course pray that he stops.

Once you use prayer to get the other party to let you go, it means that you are just a lamb to be slaughtered, and you cannot decide whether to live or die.

Louis chose to stop, giving the Celtics a chance to breathe, and it seemed that the game had suspense again.

Ford might think so, but Louie doesn't.

The three new players are Stockton, Miller and Ewing.

With Wilson and Rodman, the defensive integrity is slightly down, but the intensity is definitely up.

Ewing was selected for this year's second defense, but everyone knows that if Olajuwon and Sampson were not too strong in the first defense, he would be completely at the level of the first defense.

Sadly, Stockton's defense was really in vain in front of Thomas.

Miller's defense is also at a so-so level, so after the Knicks changed their lineup, the offense and defense were more balanced and comprehensive, but there was a gap on the defensive end that the Celtics could take advantage of.

The Celtics, who are eager to chase points, naturally have to target the gap and attack with all their might.

Isaiah Thomas makes a pull-up jumper for Stockton.

Such scenes are constantly being staged, and the Celtics have never lacked people who stood up and suppressed the situation.

What about the Knicks? They don't play giant planets like the Celtics.

Chris Ford is out of control because he's only acting as coach and isn't quite as ready as Louie in 1983.

Under the tutelage of Louis, the Knicks have solid tactical literacy.

The other side played the giant star, but the Knicks' response looked much more flat-Miller and Wilson emptied one side of the hand, and Miller scored with an empty cut.

The two sides were evenly matched.

The Celtics are more anxious, they need to tie the game.

However, in the remaining minutes of the third quarter, the point difference did not narrow.

The Celtics scored a goal, and the Knicks returned a goal.

96 to 82

The game enters the fourth quarter, and the next 12 minutes will determine the fate of the Celtics' entire season.

Louie replaced Stockton, who was beaten by Thomas as a loophole, replaced Hornacek, kept Miller, and finally asked Wilson: "Benj, Dennis, do you want to rest for a while?"

Wilson played the entire third quarter, from the murder pressing in the first half to the offensive confrontation in the second half, he participated.

Surprisingly, Wilson still maintained an even breathing rate and nodded affirmatively: "The intensity of the third quarter is just a warm-up for me, coach."

"Okay, if you say that, then I'll let you play until the Celtics surrender in the fourth quarter." Louie joked. "Dennis, how about you?"

Rodman said excitedly: "Looks like I'm going to play the full second half."

Because they knew that the Celtics could not surrender.

Even if the difference is pulled to 20 points, the Celtics will not accept defeat.

Isaiah Thomas didn't care whether the person standing in front of him was named Hornacek or Stockton.

He has the personal ability to sway past opponents in front of him, and, when entering the three-point line, he can pull up and shoot at any time.

But his spring is over.

The Knicks' double-team tactics are back. As long as he breaks through, the players on the flanks must assist the defense and help Hornacek defend him.

This move paid off, but unfortunately the Knicks didn't find a touch in the first few minutes of the fourth quarter. The two sides hit each other and ravaged each other's baskets.

"Isiah Thomas couldn't score at all after a double-team, and the Knicks should have guarded him this way."

Stockton's words gave Hubie Brown a chance to show his insights.

"This is the genius of Coach Lu." Brown explained, "This game is too intense, one game is worth more than two games, whether they carry out the double-team in the first few quarters or the third quarter. The full court pressing is a waste of energy. Even if the Knicks have an enviable lineup depth, they can't overdraw the players' physical fitness. Therefore, when Isiah shoots at will on the offensive end, the Knicks' The defense didn't move, but patiently retaliated on offense, which set the stage for them to return to double-teaming in the fourth quarter."

It was Benjamin Wilson who broke the ice for both sides' blacksmithing shows.

He dribbled the ball and took a jumper in the face of Bird's defensive shift to sideways.

"Shh!"

99 to 82

"The gap between the two sides has come to 17 points!"

"Wait, what is Larry doing?"

"He shot directly from one meter beyond the three-point line!"

Bird also gave Wilson a ball.

In the next round, Wilson didn't even catch the ball, and Miller didn't make a three-pointer.

The Celtics quickly counterattacked to score.

87 to 99

There are two franchise players on the offensive end of the Knicks, Wilson and McHale.

McHale's side effects of vegetarianism have become more and more serious over the years, so he can only count half, and Wilson has become the only one.

Wilson has the franchise, but he is very restrained, never playing as a franchise player unless necessary.

When you need him to be a franchise player, you don't need Louie to remind him, he knows what to do.

Now, he runs beyond the frontcourt 3-point line and beckons to Hornacek.

Hornacek understood what he meant, passed the ball and pulled it to the right.

Rodman will block the space and Ewing won't get out of the 3-point line, but that's okay. Wilson didn't need space, he dribbled the ball, came to Ewing's pick-and-roll, and despite Sampson's help, his offense was unstoppable.

He used his speed to pass Sampson, rushed to the basket and dunks.

101 to 87

Wilson jogged and said to Bird who was not far away: "So far, don't you even dare to defend me, the best in history?"

Bird was suddenly furious.

Then he asked for the ball in the low position on the offensive end, used his body to eat Wilson, and pulled back a city.

Bird handled the ball too fast for the Knicks to double-team.

The matchup between these two will determine the entire game, and the Celtics' outcome this season.

Louis looked at Wilson, his face that was obviously still very young, full of determination. He's no longer the young player who would be beaten by Bird to doubt himself.

Wilson, who is only 23 years old, is one of only five superstars in this league, the other four are Bird, Sampson, Jordan, and Tragic division.

If it is said that Wilson, who is selfless, does not fight, does not care about data on weekdays, is the role he deliberately plays in the team, then now this one stands on the opposite side of the Celtics. A human-shaped chicken blood like a mass of lit hay is Benjamin Wilson's truest self.

He won't let go of this moment.

He knew what it meant, the mountain standing in front of him was called the best in history, and over this mountain, a new king would usher in the east.

As a result, Wilson made 11 of 12 shots in the next 6 minutes, including a streak of 10 shots.

In 6 minutes, he single-handedly scored 26 points.

Bird's performance is not bad, but he is now affected by injuries and physical aging, and his persistence is not as good as before. In this confrontation, he only scored 18 points. Fortunately, Sampson's offensive rebounds, the Celtics The score during this period is no less than that of the Knicks, and the point difference has not been widened.

However, Wilson's aura could no longer be suppressed.

123 to 108

With four minutes left in the game, the Celtics trailed by 15 points.

It can be said that there is not much time left for them to create miracles.

Bird held the ball outside, and Wilson took the initiative to guard him.

When Bird chose to lie to Wilson with a shot fake, the end of the offense was set.

Wilson saw through his feint.

Since the Knicks began as a challenger to the Celtics, Wilson took Bird as an imaginary enemy. He watched the Celtics game video day and night and studied Bird's technology.

He found that when he understood Bird's skills, other people's fakes seemed to him like bad performances, and the traces were clear.

At the moment, he hit Bird's ball forward.

He ran forward, and Bird turned to chase after gritted teeth.

His speed is not as good as Wilson's, and he will certainly not be able to catch up, but he will not give up.

Wilson deliberately slowed down to let him catch up. He didn't seem to know that there was a conspiracy here. He insisted on stepping forward, jumping up to block, and finally letting the young man push his body to dunk and score.

The referee couldn't ignore Larry Legend's foul move in the process.

"Beep!!"

"The ball is effective, Larry fouls!"

"Benj scored a game-killing Andone on Larry!"

Wilson didn't plan to go to Laborde~www.novelmt.com~ He stood under the basket and said grimly: "I'm not going to be complacent because you're not in your prime, but one day, I'll be the best player."

Bird, who always had a straight face in front of Wilson, smiled and said conceitedly: "There will be no day, you can't even handle me now."

Bird is stubborn, and the Celtics are gone.

Louie stood up again without knowing it, and he watched Bird enter the league... No, when Bird joined the Celtics, he was standing in Auerbach's office to witness that scene.

He knew Bird, he knew how strong he was, and he was still strong now.

Louie can also see that Bird's back injury is still haunting him. Maybe he shouldn't play in the playoffs. If it were an era of more responsible players, he would never appear on the court in this state.

"What are you looking at?" Bird said angrily.

He definitely didn't want Louis to see him depressed.

"You're ugly, I can't wait to give birth to a pair of eyes to appreciate it." Louis asked with a smile, "You can almost get out of the way, hillbilly? You have ended this year!"

"Who the **** told you it's over?" Byrd, like Louie insulted him, "it's not over yet!"

Louie would have liked to put a few more handfuls of salt on his wound, but somehow he didn't.

He took a deep breath.

"You give up easily what you shouldn't give up, and stubbornly insist on what you shouldn't. This is you." Louis said helplessly, "this is you."
