The Rest, Only Noise

Latest website: The Lakers in the third quarter let people see the essence of basketball.

It brings out the best in the sport.

As for the team, their transfer of the ball was smooth and smooth, with 0 turnovers in a single quarter.

Personally, Wilson took over strongly in the last two minutes, smashing the Celtics, who had no one to stand up against.

In the fourth quarter, the Celtics' problems broke out intensively.

The performance of Sampson and Malone is the barometer of Hill. If the two of them play well, Hill will naturally be able to follow suit.

If they don't play, Hill will follow stealth. Malone continued his downturn in the third quarter, and Sampson also gave up his long-range shots due to his physical decline, and turned to attacking the basket with the ball to cause damage.

In minutes, Sampson made seven free throws.

However, due to physical problems, the feel of free throws dropped rapidly, and only three of the seven free throws were made.

On the Lakers side, the lead continued to expand, and Louis had to seriously examine the effect of Ben Wallace against Malone.

Is Ma Long's performance tonight an accident, or is it artificially caused?

Although Louis believes that Big Ben's defense can produce certain effects, he doesn't think Big Ben in his rookie period can do this.

Therefore, the main problem of Ma Long's hip pulling is still on him.

The second is the prospect of the series. Now it seems that the Lakers do have a great advantage. With the Celtics' personnel structure, this is almost an irreversible gap.

What makes Louie most helpless is that the Lakers are about to take a 2-0 lead in the Finals, but their trump card—beautiful basketball—has yet to get a proper opportunity to showcase it.

If the Celtics still can't bring real intensity in the following games, perhaps until the end of the season, the Lakers will have room.

This is undoubtedly regrettable.

And, if the Lakers can't play a jaw-droppingly great game with "beautiful basketball," how are they going to get Dejan Bodiloga to travel across the ocean to shoot?

For Louis, the Finals seems to be no longer the most important thing right now.

The vigilance against the Celtics before the game has gradually dissipated. After the fourth quarter, the Lakers beat the Celtics 124-104, winning two consecutive games at home and taking a 2-0 lead.

Benjamin Wilson is still a star.

Playing 37 minutes, the offensive state once slumped to freezing point, but returned strongly in the second half, and finally hit 50% shooting, and scored a triple-double of 38 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists.

Charles Barkley's post-match interview is a perfect combination of comedy and reality.

"Are you excited, Chuck?" "I'm **** excited!"

"Why? This isn't the closest you'll get to a championship."

What the reporter meant was that Barkley was once closer to the championship, how close was it? The match point led the opponent by 22 points at halftime, and it was still the leading side before the last dozen seconds.

Unexpectedly, Barkley said: "This time is different from before. We have no possibility of losing. Moreover, I am very happy. This is what I have always said. Pure honor is the most ridiculous thing in the world. You can't use champions To characterize someone because not everyone is blessed with the best team."

If these words are used by people with a heart, they will be misinterpreted. However, this is Barkley, he always said what he had.

And this is not his most program-effective speech today. In the end, he got so carried away that he couldn't choose what to say: "I didn't know until today that Patrick's happiness is so simple!"

"Chuck, what do you mean...?" The reporter obviously watched the excitement and didn't think it was a big deal.

Barkley is also very cooperative: "You can take my words down, whoever wins Benj wins the championship! You are always talking about so and so

Not great because he can't make his teammates better! but i can

Saying it, the greatest thing about Benj is that he can make someone like me look like a winner! No one has such magic power except Benj

! "

When Barkley's kneeling and licking remarks reached Wilson's ears through reporters, he smiled: "Chuck often has amazing words, you shouldn't take it too seriously, even if there is such a person in the world, it's not me , but our coach.”

"We just play, and it's up to the coaching staff to make us winners."

Benj's statement brought the matter to a happy ending and easily created a world where only Barkley's ex and Ewing felt the pain.

On the other hand, the Celtics' post-game interviews were a little lackluster.

"I'm not the same person I used to be," Sampson told reporters after scoring 46 points and 11 rebounds.

The Boston media felt sour when they heard this.

Sampson didn't mean to blame his teammates, but also took the responsibility for the loss, thinking that the reason for the loss was that he could not dominate the game as before.

However, such a statement does not save Malone and Hill.

Because even Sampson at his peak couldn't dominate the game from start to finish, otherwise, the Knicks wouldn't be able to kill the Celtics in 1988.

Taking the initiative to take on responsibilities that do not belong to you can not only gain people's hearts, but also relieve the pressure of public opinion on Malone and Hill, and prepare for the subsequent home games.

Louis secretly felt sorry for Sampson.

The hall-level superstar who has locked the top six in history may only have played eight interesting seasons.

After the end of the Celtics dynasty in 1988, Sampson's career began to turn to another runway.

Especially in the 1990s, except for the season formed by Cosmic Heat, Sampson's peak period was wasted in the rest of the years.

In contrast, Ewing has played for a Finals-level team since his second year in the NBA.

Wilson even has a career starting line at the level of a tragedy division. He entered the Eastern Conference Finals with the team in his rookie season, and played a series against Bird. play ball.

Their primes coincide 100% with the roster's primes.

Not Sampson.

From the age of 28 to 37, nearly ten years, he has only played for a competitive team for two or three years.

Therefore, the legacy brought about by James' "decision" is both good and bad. The good thing is that people like Sampson, who are tired of the team, can make the same choice without any scruples, because the emperor has already accepted all the blame, and as long as everyone's life is unsatisfactory, they will make decisions, so that It has become a practice, and gradually, no fans will have any objections to it, and the "decision" will also create a correct memory in line with the trend with the joint efforts of everyone-time does not wait, why should the things you like and I want be rejected? criticize? Are you dissatisfied with the working environment and can't change jobs? Yes, that's right.

Sampson had no chance to enjoy the bonus of the emperor's decision, so he delayed breaking up with the Celtics until he was 34 years old, and then went to Miami to experience the warmth and warmth of human relations and then returned to Boston.

Then he proved that he is still one of the best in the league, but it is difficult for him to support himself if his teammates have problems.

Louie understood that Sampson tried to help Malone take the blame. This is by no means a green tea whore-style play, but a manifestation of the mentality of an old man.

Sampson's transformation this year has been very successful. It is said that his playing style in the high position is the key to the Celtics' success, but he is also very clear that without Malone doing all the dirty work in the paint, He also has no chance to play the autumn breeze in a high position with ease.

The Celtics' revival hope lies in Malone. Sampson also trusted Malone.

If Ma Long can't realize it, Sampson will lose confidence more and more.

This is where Louie regrets and regrets for Sampson.

The best lineup of "beautiful basketball" in his mind is Tragedy, Wilson, Bird, Duncan, Sampson.

It is not difficult to form a championship team around Sampson~www.readwn.com~ But in the later period of Auerbach, the magic power of the Celtics uniform team was lost. that has a

The front office started a proper and aggressive team building plan around him.

From this point of view, Sampson is a gorgeous version of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and a reverse Chamberlain. He has the strength and competitiveness of the number one center in history, but he still cannot beat the pack.

What is even more regrettable is that the capital of his Dingding President Hill was laid before the age of 28.

Louie and Wilson met Sampson on their way back to the locker room after the interview.

Sampson said a worried hello and left. "It's not easy for him." Louis said with emotion.

Sampson is one of Wilson's most respected players. Seeing him approaching his age but still being the backbone of the team, wanting to fight but being powerless, Wilson had a question in his heart.

"Coach," he decided to ask the person he trusted the most, "how can I age gracefully?"
