The Rest, Only Noise

The latest website: Foreign reporters are all sneered at this, talking about how much New York is a bonus to Knicks players, unfair to players in other regions, and so on.

Wilson became the focus, and it also made people forget that after becoming the AMVP, scoring leader, rebounding leader, and blocked shot leader in the regular season, Sampson was selected for the Double First Team on the awards day and won another DPOY.

In addition to these awards, there is the MVP.

Even if the Celtics "only" have 65 wins in the regular season, ranking third in the league, the MVP of the regular season will not fall on anyone else.

Tragic and Ewing have only a small chance, and Sampson's probability of winning is more than 90%.

This year, he will win everything but championships.

In Game 4 of the semifinals, the Knicks did not give the Pacers a chance, won overwhelmingly, and advanced to the Eastern Conference finals with a complete victory.

This is the Knicks' fifth straight advance to the Eastern Conference finals.

"Every May since 1987, the Knicks have been to the Eastern Conference finals.. Their consistency is better than SteffiGraf (SteffiGraf) ⑴." "The New York Times" never lags behind every quarrel, Whenever bragging, they all strive to be the first.

The Celtics' semifinal opponent is the emerging Miami Heat in the East.

Reaching the second round is the Heat's goal this year.

To do that, the Heat need to avoid three teams in the first round.

Knicks, Celtics and Pacers.

They had no chance of winning against the first two teams, and the fear of the Pacers came from last year.

Danny Manning was as brutal as the Pistons in the first round this year, leaving a psychological shadow on the Miami people.

So after the first round, the semi-final against the Celtics, as long as one win, Lewis Shafir will be satisfied.

As a result, they really won a game.

They prefer this result to being swept away.

4 to 1

There is still no suspense in the East, and the final spot still has to be born between the Knicks and the Celtics.

During the regular season, the Knicks played against the Celtics five times and achieved 3 wins and 2 losses.

Judging from the battle records, the two sides are evenly matched, with the Knicks having better lineup depth, while the Celtics have the league's number one star.

When facing the Celtics, Louie said the most, is the card position, is the defense, is running, is the open shot.

Sampson is unparalleled in terms of star power, and the Knicks' winning point lies in the strength of the team.

Therefore, it is necessary to play the feeling that all the people are soldiers.

From Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals, the Knicks' performance has made people feel that this is a team that wants to win more.

Wilson, Miller and Stockton at the top of the arc, their aggressive off-ball movement and precise outside shooting make it difficult for the Celtics to defend in place.

With the combination of ubiquitous pick-and-rolls and screens, the Celtics can only break down the east wall to make up for the west wall, but there will always be a point that will fail.

One of the great things about the Knicks is that they have a way to keep players in hot form open.

Miller and Wilson had a blast on the left and right flanks.

Stockton's three-pointer from the top of the arc is also helpful.

The Celtics lost to the Knicks by 14 points without waiting for the star power.

The Knicks won Game 1.

In the second game after that, Bird suffered repeated back injuries, Wilson blew Reggie Lewis, and made up for the gap that Ewing was blown away by Sampson.

In this game, it is not an exaggeration to say that Wilson and Sampson are fighting against each other.

Wilson scored 20 goals in 30 shots, scoring 52 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists, while Sampson scored 39 points and 19 rebounds when he was double-teamed every time he got the ball.

In the decisive moment, the winning hand is the outside line of both sides.

Isiah Thomas missed a two-pointer, and Wilson's outside 3-pointer pulled the deficit to five.

That ball directly kills the game.

2 to 0

The game returned to the Boston Garden, and before the game, the league announced that Ralph Sampson was named the regular season MVP.

Sampson thus completed the scoring, rebounding, blocked shots, DPOY, double first team, AMVP, MVP personal honor Grand Slam.

When he came out of the tunnel to accept the award, Louie could feel Boston's affection for him.

That kind of love is no less than Bird.

Sampson is a better star than the arrogant, cold, and inhumane Bird. He won't retreat to his rural home in Indiana in the offseason and suddenly suffer a back injury.

Sampson was active in Boston's community, building a good image for the Celtics and earning a love that Bill Russell never got.

This is his second MVP trophy. When he lifted the trophy, the cheers of MVP continued for a full 6 minutes in the garden.

Celts always have buffs in the garden.

On Sampson's MVP night, he chose to play from the perimeter, making a three-pointer, a two-pointer, and then dominating the restricted area for a whole game.

Even if Bird can't bend down in pain, as long as he has a touch, he can become a threat to the Knicks.

Thomas also found offensive form tonight after being invisible for two games at MSG.

Unlike Drexler's determination to leave, Thomas struggled for a summer, and then stayed. Although he often said that he would be traded, as the Celtics' record got better and better, he would not leave. Like Kobe Bryant in the 2007-08 season, the idea of ​​"do you want to stay for a few more months?" This time, another season has passed.

In the battle of dignity in the Garden, the Boston Big Three made a concerted effort to break the Knicks' undefeated gold in the playoffs.

"I'm not surprised the Celtics did what they were supposed to do."

Louis is very open to losing.

It's not that they haven't lost to the Celtics, it's all small things.

The point is to win Game 4, he doesn't want to lose two games in a row at the Garden.

The fourth game began, the Knicks' style of play was completely different.

It used to be the intensity of the playoffs, and it took the Celtics to a higher level. Now, they are fighting against the Celtics with a life-and-death attitude.

Rodman opened the foul on Bird, the Garden booed.

Bird endured the pain, hit a 3-pointer on the next round, and yelled at Louie, "Why don't you send someone alive against me?"

Bird likes to insult defenders.

This remark is an unacceptable humiliation for Rodman, who was selected as the first defense for DPOY last season for three consecutive years.

In just one quarter, Rodman fouled Bird three times.

For every foul, he had to put Bird's body on the ground.

Garden's hatred of Rodman reaches its limit.

Tom Heinsohn even said: "Dennis Rodman would be attacked by crazy fans in ten seconds if he was walking down Charles Street."

In the second quarter, the Knicks' murder was pressed against the Celtics' stubborn resistance.

They are not afraid of the Knicks' fouls, and they rush forward as long as they have the ball, and are ready for the highest intensity confrontation.

Under this kind of intensity, the first person who can't stand it is the big man.

Laimbeer sprained his knee and Sampson hit his ankle.

The two pillars of the Celtics' inside line came off one after another, and the situation reversed.

However, Bird's three-pointer and Thomas' 100-meter rush to death gave the Green Army a glimmer of hope.

In the second half, Bird and Wilson faced off for a three-pointer.

Trick Kemp to switch, then catch the ball and turn around and shoot the opponent.

The ball was scored, and he roared: "I'm the greatest player in Indiana history, why are you guarding me?"

Bird shouted the same thing to Kemp last year when he was a rookie.

It has a different meaning today.

Kemp made a breakthrough at the end of the third quarter and dunked Bird. He grabbed the basket and swayed for a few seconds. "When you retire, I will be the greatest player in Indiana State."

Bird, who dreamed of returning to the top, was consumed by the Knicks in three quarters.

In the fourth quarter, Sampson did not listen to dissuasion and played with an injury. Thomas was inspired by it and attacked desperately.

Bird is a threat even if he's just standing on the outside.

The Celtics, who were on the verge of collapse several times, relied on their star to save the crisis.

But Louie is keenly aware that Sampson's injury affects his movement speed, and Bird's injury also makes him weak on the corner shooter.

Louie called a long timeout.

It was a decisive long timeout, and after that, Stockton held the ball and called Kemp for the EmptyLob.

Kemp scores like drinking water, and the inside line is broken.

Then there is Miller in the bottom corner of the perimeter. The Celtics used the last manpower to block the penalty area to prevent Kemp from bullying Sampson with a foot injury and causing inconvenience. Miller was vacant.

"Reggie three points!"

"YES!!"

Marv Albert's constant roar resounded three times in the Knicks' three offensive possessions.

3 minutes before the end of the game, the Celtics trailed by 14 points.

Chances of victory may be fleeting.

Sampson may be the best player, but with his injury, the defense is just an empty shell.

Thomas sacrificed his life to attack, biting the game for the Celtics, but under the Knicks' offensive, no one could hold on.

Bird, who seemed to be dying, refused to give up.

He asked for the ball, elbowed Wilson, turned for a three-pointer, and hit.

Wilson wanted to return a three-point chase, but Sampson pre-judged his intention, stepped forward in advance, interfered in place, and missed.

Thomas flew to grab the rebound and passed to Bird.

Bird dragged his body to the front court full of injuries, collected the ball one meter from the three-point line, and pulled it up.

"Larry! Oh Larry!"

Bostonians are used to those eardrum buzzing Bird moments, and just before Bird's 3-pointer, everyone in the garden knew something magical was about to happen. That kind of excitement is like watching a championship boxing match, but the difference is that the outcome of this "boxing match" is decided by one punch.

As long as there is that buzz in the garden, fans have reason to believe and expect those special things to happen.

A lot of people think this hunch is a myth of old fans, but if you've ever followed a great player, you know they're always there when the kind of team needs it.

The garden air reminds everyone: Larry is taking over!

Within two minutes, Bird scored 12 points and 2 assists in a row, leading the team to catch up to 2 points.

Louie called a timeout angrily.

"Give the ball to Benj!" Louie roared rightly. "Benj, don't tell me you can't beat a 35-year-old!"

Louie designed an ExchangeRicky for Wilson.

With opponents upping their ranks, Wilson has nowhere to go, and if he is to prove he has what it takes to take over the throne, he'll have to withstand the pressure to respond to a slam from the best player of all time.

"Guys!" Wilson's charisma at the moment is probably beyond the reach of Ewing in his life, "Either running to lose, or running to win, I just want to win, but I need you to believe me!"

If the entire Knicks team is likened to a fire, then Louie is the one who ignites the fire, and Wilson is the fire that burns the most. Opponents always keep their distance from him to avoid being burned, and the latter never only Bring your hottest side to the opponent, and then warm the teammates around you.

At this moment, he went to the field.

There was also a "humming" sound in Louis' ears.

Yes, he knew, Benj was coming!

The Celtics put Reggie Lewis on Wilson, who was out of position on Wilson's identical elbow to Bird.

Beyond the three-point line at the top of the arc, Wilson held the ball and shot, Yan Ye shot Isaiah Thomas, who was in place for the defense.

The ball flew to the top.

"Y~~~~es!!"

Albert roared excitedly.

Wilson's three-pointer hit the basket and responded to Larry's legendary challenge in the toughest way, consolidating the Knicks' chances of winning and holding the fruit of victory tightly in their hands.

"Beep!"

The referee blows the final whistle.

117 to 112

Wilson cried out excitedly, and his teammates immediately threw him to the ground.

At the moment, he is just a happy young man.

He doesn't need to win the team's scoring title, he doesn't need to convince Ewing, or even match Bird in this matchup, he just needs to stand up when the team needs it most and be in everyone's hearts hero.

Bird put his hands on his hips and breathed out a foul breath at the top of the garden~www.novelmt.com~Larry," Louie said, "you're no longer his match. "

Bird said proudly: "He was never my opponent."

Louis hummed softly.

Win this game, the Knicks lead 3-1.

The state of the Celtics tonight may only come out in 10 games.

Even this game was lost, and the fifth game was almost impossible to win.

Louie looked at Bird again and noticed that the other person's body was trembling slightly: "Is your back okay?"

"Be more concerned about yourselves!" Bird sneered arrogantly, "My body can at least support me to score 50 points in the next game!"
