The Rest, Only Noise

The latest website: Wilson is expected to miss more than two months.

Louie won't let him back until he's fully recovered.

The Knicks' main position suddenly vacated one.

How to fill the vacancy left by Wilson is the focus of Louie's later work.

First, he's not going to keep a player as a starter for long. He decided to take a shift system and give every small forward on the team a chance to start, which would test their abilities without making them think about starting positions and increase competition within the team.

After the All-Star Weekend, the Knicks rematch the first game against the Indiana Pacers.

In the early 1980s, the Pacers, who had been unable to complete their rebuild due to various ghost operations that Louis could not understand, ushered in a change after drafting Danny Manning a few years ago.

Last season, they got Mookie Blelock, paired with King Star bodyguards Oakley and Horace Grant, and they quickly rose in the East and grew into a force to be reckoned with.

Against the Pacers, Louie started Reggie Williams at the 3.

Without Wilson, the Knicks' perimeter aggression has dropped a notch. .

Even Ewing wasn't used to it.

On the other hand, the Pacers, with the idea of ​​winning if they don't lose too much, are fighting with the Knicks.

Blaylock's defense embarrassed Stockton.

He was like a robber. In the four quarters, he broke Stockton 3 times and made 8 steals in the whole game.

Coupled with Manning's 41 points and 7 rebounds in a single game, the Knicks unexpectedly lost to the Pacers.

In the next game, the Knicks face a formidable opponent again.

The opponent Lakers gave them a two-game losing streak with a perfect performance.

Jeff Hornacek teamed up with Tragic, almost perfect, scoring 24 points to help the team beat the old owner.

Hornacek also received his third championship ring in this game.

The Knicks, who suffered a losing streak, desperately needed a vent.

Unfortunately, the knight was hitting the muzzle.

That game, Louie let Stevens start.

The Knicks have no intention of relaxing from offense to defense.

Stevens seized the rare opportunity to play and contributed a quasi-triple-double in 29 minutes.

The most outrageous thing is that it is not rebounds or assists that limit his triple-double, but scoring.

He had 7 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists.

Ewing and Miller both went crazy in this game.

One scored 50 points with 22 shots, and the other hit 10 three-pointers in a single game and scored 38 points.

148 to 78

"Basketball fans, if you haven't watched The Silence of the Lambs, I would recommend you to review the Knicks-Cavaliers game. The Knicks were far more terrifying than Anthony Hopkin in those 48 minutes. 16 minutes as Hannibal."

The Knicks need to adjust to not having Wilson on the court.

In terms of statistics, Wilson's scores are not as good as Ewing's, and his assists are not as good as Stockton's. Even the defense has Rodman ahead.

But he was an integral part of the Knicks dynasty.

Wilson can give his teammates a sense of stability that far exceeds that of Ewing.

Because, Ewing has never been Sampson's opponent, and Wilson is often at a disadvantage in the face of Tragic division, Jordan, Bird, but he can always rely on tenacious personal will and superb skills. situation.

After 1988, Wilson's blown-out scenes became less and less frequent.

He can go up against the superstars, sometimes play 48 minutes full of energy, lead the Murder press to give the team the edge in the deadlock stage, but also be extremely selfless, know what Louie needs him to do on the field and have a strong execution.

Louie never looked at Wilson's numbers.

Like Byrd, data was the most inconspicuous thing about him.

Now that he's hurt, the Knicks have to find a way out.

This way out is to revolve around the two lines of Ewing and Miller, and then rely on a strong lineup to establish an advantage.

As for Wilson's replacement, starting with Reggie Williams, Louie changes one every game like a concubine.

Stevens' ability to instigate surprises; Williams' versatility, Louie has long known, but he is impatient, so Louie dare not let him play more; Doug West's defense is one of the biggest surprises this year. one.

In one game, Louie asked Miller to play the 3rd position and Ainge started the 2nd position.

Once they put up this lineup, opponents are happy.

There are no strong defenders in the backcourt or on the flanks. Ainge and Stockton have a lot of tricks, but they can only work for a while.

The Knicks lost that game.

Louie has never let Angie and Miller appear at the same time since then.

With no one competing, Ewing's attempts dropped from 22 to 19 per game, and his scoring average held steady at 28.4 points per game.

He saw through.

In terms of scoring, let alone Sampson, if Wilson was let go, he would definitely not be able to compare.

Now Wilson is injured, which is equivalent to making him lock the team's scoring champion.

The antagonism brought about by Wilson's contract, with the former sidelined by injury, has calmed Ewing.

Sean Kemp, Doug West and rookie wing Lionel Simmons were the biggest beneficiaries of Wilson's absence.

Kemp's scoring average rose to 18 points per game, West's minutes increased by seven minutes, and Simmons was finally no longer on the DNP roster.

At the end of February, against the Spurs, Louie finally remembered that there was a small forward who had never started.

That was their rookie Lionel Simmons.

The Spurs can stay in the top seven in the fiercely competitive Western Conference, and Dominic Wilkins has contributed a lot. After leaving the Lakers, he dominated the Spurs and enjoyed the highest ball ownership rate in history. A season where he averaged 28-30 points per game.

He can brush and win, the Spurs have no hope of winning the championship, and there is no worry about entering the playoffs. After all, this year’s first-round pick is in the hands of the Knicks.

Simmons showed characteristics that were not shown on the team.

He's an all-around small forward.

The impact is very strong, the rebounding ability exceeds the level of the same position, the defense prediction is extremely good, and the organization ability is also excellent.

His biggest problem on the court is shooting, and he's not a threat from the free throw line.

In his first start, Simmons scored 12 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks.

He showed all the features he could show.

In addition to the problems on the field, he also has problems off the field.

He is different from other black people who are familiar with him. Not only is he not familiar with himself, he is also very silent and autistic, and he rarely communicates with people.

Every time Louis gave him a lesson, he had to add a sentence at the end: "Did you hear it?"

Until he nods to confirm, can he be assured to play.

If he was just not good at communication, Louis wouldn't be so worried. He also had a well-known hobby in the team, like playing video games.

Simmons was obsessed with the GameBoy, Nintendo's portable game console, like a child.

This is the most popular gift for kids this Christmas.

Apart from Lu Wuxia, Louie has never met a second kid who doesn't like GameBoy.

Simmons' love for video games is almost morbid. As long as he doesn't play ball, he plays video games in the morning, at noon, in the afternoon, before eating and going to bed.

Because of him, when the Knicks played on the road, Louis specially asked Mocha to sleep. If anyone didn't sleep on time in the hotel, he would be suspended for one game in the team.

In order to play GameBoy as much as possible, Simmons also pretended to be going to a nightclub to play with women. As a result, when someone arrived, his teammates were all skin and bones. Only he was faced with junk food, eating with one hand, playing with GameBoy with one hand, and beautiful women of any skin color. To tempt him can't get his attention.

The story made Simmons famous.

The most outrageous thing is that Simmons was so involved in video games that he also developed one of the most bizarre injuries in NBA history - tendonitis caused by video games.

Simmons played well in the starting game, and Louis intentionally increased his playing time and cultivated well, but this unsatisfactory thing missed the game due to tendinitis~www.novelmt.com~ Because Louis's principle is not to play if there is an injury.

Simmons continued to play video games while recuperating from his injury.

For such a player, Louie has nothing to say.

If the Knicks are rebuilding, he might put more energy into Simmons. But the Knicks are not unusable. He doesn't mind Simmons going to ruin because of this. In addition to paying attention to the growth of the rookie, there are more important things waiting for him.

This was Louie's most distracting season since joining New York.

From the confrontation between Ewing and Wilson, to the injury of the latter, he changed the starting position of the small forward position, but still had various problems.

The Knicks, who had lost just four games before the All-Star break, lost eight of their next 30 games.

On April 10, Wilson officially returned, and the Knicks immediately went on a six-game winning streak, ending with a record of 68 wins and 14 losses.
