The Rest, Only Noise

Chapter 764: fierce competition

"Isn't this what you most want to see, Coach Lu?"

Isaiah Thomas's sudden words made Louis stunned for a few seconds.

1984 may seem like many years to Louis, but to Thomas it seems like yesterday.

Over the years, he has always played a quiet role, although he often complained, but never left. K.C. Jones knew what he wanted and took care of his emotions, never hurting him like Louie did.

Jim Rogers doesn't understand shit.

Chris Ford just copied Louie's system, but in the year, does it work?

These people, each have their own good and bad, but they are not Louis. They didn't know what Thomas wanted as clearly as Louie did.

"Yes, you did as I said." Louie laughed. "You did a great job."

"But what did I get?"

"Four championships?"

Thomas sneered: "People will only remember that Larry and Ralph took me to the championship, fans will only remember that I limped and lost in 1988, and history will only remember that I was in 1990. Want to leave, I'm not a real Celtic!"

Thomas is someone who tends to go to extremes.

At this time, he was in extreme emotions and could not listen to the opinions and opinions of others.

He said that fans will only remember Bird and Sampson, which may be true, but most superstars are teammates with these two people, and they can't escape the background. But to say that fans only remember him limping and losing in 1988 would be bullshit.

In fact, in Game 7 of the 1988 Eastern Conference finals, when Thomas was only able to use one foot and played like a **** of war, fans only re-acquainted him. His assessment also changed, but it was too late.

The only legacy Thomas can leave with the Celtics is a championship.

If he can't win the championship, his strong self-esteem can't be suppressed, and the huge self-consciousness will swallow his selfless heart, just like it is now.

"Isiah," Louie said, looking him straight in the eyes, with great seriousness, "at least in my eyes, you're a real Celtic. Without you, there would be no Celtic in the '80s. Dynasty, you're no less important than Larry and Ralph."

In Thomas' eyes, Louis never spoke "human words".

Whenever given the chance, Louis would attack him with the worst possible words.

Now, when he suddenly said this, Thomas panicked, wondering what bad thoughts Louis had.

Without saying good things a second time, Louis turned around and went back after saying that.

The game also unfolded in a tense and fierce confrontation.

The 1990-91 Celtics had a definite change, and that was firmly centered on Ralph Sampson, with Bird playing if he could or resting if he couldn't.

Then, Reggie Lewis took over.

He should have supported the Green Army in the 1990s with Ron Harper. He didn't expect Harper to jump in the middle. Fortunately, Lewis played, otherwise the Celtics would face the pain of an aging lineup.

Laimbeer is still a decent center, but he's just not at the level of an All-Star.

Tonight, Ewing, who claims to blow up Sampson, performed well, but there is still a significant gap compared with Mr. One.

Sampson, 30, has been the No. 1 center for six years.

Olajuwon, Ewing, David Robinson, Manning and other new-generation centers with different styles cannot replace him.

With his excellent shooting touch, Ewing scored a rebound in front of Sampson.

This data looks good at first glance, if you don't look at Sampson's data...

Sampson played for 40 minutes, unstoppable rebounds and 6 blocks, making this game, which should have been unilaterally slaughtered by the Knicks, become suspenseful, back and forth, and the fact that Bird was blown up by Wilson. It doesn't look so dazzling.

The Celtics lost by 7 points.

Wilson scored 36 points, and, bullying Bird was not feeling well, getting on the body a lot, and using athleticism to suppress the opponent's performance.

"Someone said that he was going to blow Ralph. Obviously, he was bragging. Our insider is no match for Ralph."

Kevin McHale made fun of Ewing in front of reporters.

Ewing was furious after hearing the hearing, and he didn't say a word to McHale for half a month.

Wilson scored 36 points, which made the team behind him even more hyped.

At the same time, it also reminded the people of the Knicks that Ewing had said that he was going to be the team's scoring champion. It seems that Wilson scored easier.

At the end of the month, the Knicks played against the Hornets.

Ewing scored 34 points, the highest in the team.

But he used 26 shots and was severely criticized by Louis.

"If you have to use a lot of shots to prove that you can become the scoring champion, then stop it, I admit that you can do it, but who can't get the stats for a lot of shots? Increase your score output!"

The game after that turned into a scoreline between Ewing and Wilson.

Under the strict restrictions of Louis, the two of them reached a tacit understanding.

That is, the two have the same chance of getting out, and the competition is fair.

They set each other's number of shots at 20, and no one can exceed that number.

Of course, an offense that results in a foul shot doesn't count.

Even in the face of a strong enemy, they would not break this tacit understanding.

It's one of the three most outrageous things Louie has seen this year.

The other two were the reunification of East and West Germany, and the Nobel Peace Prize awarded to the last chief executive of the Soviet Union. In the latter's view, this peace award is not a fun at all, but a sign of an era, a pillar of shame to be recorded in the annals of history, just like Song Huizong and Song Qinzong were awarded the title of Duke Hunde and Marquis of Chonghun.

What's even more outrageous is that these three things happened in a row for two months.

Louie has been stimulated to a nervous breakdown.

The tacit understanding between Ewing and Wilson lasted until the game against the Blazers on Thanksgiving Eve.

As we all know, Drexler couldn't bear the fact that Portland took Jordan to the sky. As a top ten in the league that season, he wanted to go to a team where he could let himself play.

However, the Portland Trail Blazers are a team that does not see a rabbit and a hawk.

Like the Celtics, they know that keeping a disgruntled second/third will not help the championship, but they know better that if they don't trade them back for players of equivalent value, they will have no hope of shaking the Knicks.

So, strictly speaking, all the superstars who want to leave the team but can't leave the team have to blame the Knicks.

It's them who put unimaginable pressure on championship-chasing teams, leading them to be cautious and cautious about any trade.

With the Blazers game, Ewing and Wilson both shot 20 times.

Wilson was more able to make free throws, scoring 41 points on free throws, while Ewing had only 19 points due to his poor touch.

Opposite them, the Blazers were injured in Nance, Schmitz and Ewing ran each other, and Drexler was ineffective, so they had to watch Jordan score 61 points, allowing the Knicks to swallow their first defeat of the season.

After the game, Louie was furious.

Pointing at Ewing and Wilson head-to-head.

"If the next time you face a match like this, if any of you give me a tight control of the number of shots to 20, I promise I will let you not make a single shot in the next game, **** The scoring champion on the team, the scoring champion who can't help the team win is shit!"

The tacit understanding between Wilson and Ewing was broken.

Then a new tacit understanding was formed.

This new tacit understanding is to forget the existence of tacit understanding when meeting a strong team, and play how you want to play.

So Louie still can't stop their pursuit of the team's scoring title.

As long as Ewing scores more than Wilson, the latter will definitely surpass Ewing in the next game.

But Wilson didn't take the title seriously, and in his view, passing Ewing's score was just the basic response.

He didn't want to fight.

It doesn't matter what they think, the way Ewing and Wilson have changed the game has affected many people.

Even the Knicks' game rhythm isn't the same as it used to be.

The person who is most dissatisfied with this is Reggie Miller. He is about to enter a contract year and needs to perform well before he can negotiate a big contract with the team next summer, but if these two continue to play, what will he do? Still have room to play?

Miller's temper was growing, and a rift appeared in his relationship with Wilson.

The solution to this is Wilson.

Ewing is an insider, an insider under the A system. Although he has a tactical position of high dominance, Louis does not appreciate Ewing's ability to respond.

Or, he doesn't think Ewing's coping skills are enough to keep the system flowing. Instead of letting him catch a lot of **** and pass assists in the high post, it's better to use him as a pick-and-roll machine to create opportunities for his teammates.

Therefore, Ewing is not only not an obstacle to Miller's performance, but also a help to help him achieve a good performance.

Wilson is the core of the Knicks' offense~www.novelmt.com~ He has a lot of chances to touch the ball every game. If you want Miller to have a good time, he just needs to pass the ball to Miller's position more.

As long as he is willing to do so, the problem can be solved immediately.

Once he does, it will affect the competition with Ewing.

After Thanksgiving, in the three games at the end of November, Wilson recorded two triple-doubles and one near-triple-double, and all his shots were under 15.

Ewing thus became the Knicks' scoring leader so far.

The Knicks are 14-1 so far this season, with Ewing averaging 3 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 blocks per game.

Wilson, who has a clear competitive relationship with him, ranks second in the team's scoring list with an average of 26.8 points, 7 rebounds, 7 assists, 2.4 steals and 1.3 blocks per game.

"Being the scoring champion on the team has always been my goal," Ewing told the media. "I hope to influence the overall situation on both ends of the floor like Ralph."

"Is this what the **** should a contemporary Bill Russell say?" Louie couldn't help but complain.

But he couldn't stop Ewing, who averaged just 19 shots per game.

How could he stop such efficiency? At least for now, the competition between Ewing and Wilson is beneficial to the Knicks' record, and it has also allowed the Knicks to find new motivation in the process of chasing four consecutive championships.

Louie worries that such a drive carries impurities that divide the team.

Today, they use this kind of power to destroy other teams. Will this power also disintegrate the Knicks from the outside to the inside one day in the future?

He had no clue about it.
