The Rest, Only Noise

November 29, 1985

Boston, Massachusetts, Boston Garden

Because the Knicks and Celtics belong to the same Atlantic Division, they have to play five regular-season games a season.

Today's Atlantic Division is still good, the 76ers have greatly degraded, and the Washington Bullets and New Jersey Nets have their own problems.

It was only a few years ago that the five teams in the Atlantic Division were all playoff teams and played 25 games a year against each other.

The impact of this kind of internal friction on the record is obvious, which is also one of the few effects of the team.

Tonight's game is not only the Knicks' second challenge to the Celtics this season, but also the first time that the two new players involved in Louis Orr's exchange represent the Knicks.

Although Louie never had expectations for these two, he will still give them a little playing time tonight.

"I'm sure you all remember how they humiliated us at MSG some time ago."

In the locker room, Louis lectured flatly.

He didn't plan to fight chicken blood, and he didn't plan to pour chicken soup.

The Knicks and the Celtics play a game, and the gap between the two sides is too large. If they play 100 games, the Knicks will win at most one.

Under the huge gap in strength, any chicken soup or chicken blood will not work.

What Louis has to do now is to discover the "opportunities" little by little. If one game is not enough, he will have two games, and if two games are not enough, he will have three games. If he slowly accumulates his strength, it will not take long for them to turn from rising stars to challengers to the throne.

"I remember."

Ewing said angrily.

"are you mad?"

"angry."

"why?"

"They can't make me unhappy just because I make more money!"

Louie smiled, "But you played ugly last time."

"Not this time!"

"Okay!" Louie shouted, "then let's play a game that's not ugly!"

Louie led the players into the garden, and the excited audience booed them first, then cheered Louie.

As long as Louie's team isn't a threat to the Celtics, fans won't boo him.

After all, he laid the foundation of the Celtics' current brilliant appearance.

Before the opening, the Celtics had a lot of people to say hello to Louie.

Bird came over and said trash talk: "We're going to win by 30 tonight."

"Don't tell me, we almost won by 50 points at our home court last time, and it's your home game. It's not too much to win by 60 points." Louis sarcastically said.

Bird looked like it wasn't impossible to win by 60 points.

"Always give you a little face."

"I'm touched, really." Louie hugged him, "You're a country bumpkin who values ​​love and righteousness!"

Afterwards, Sampson joined Ranbir and John Long to say hello.

Finally, Danny Ainge.

Isiah Thomas never came, and Louie believed he wouldn't. Thomas never liked him, just like he didn't like Thomas either.

After the warm-up, Louie said to their starters tonight: "Larry just came over and said he was going to win us by 30 points tonight."

"He's farting," said Oakley angrily. "I'll be the first to punch him!"

"We're not here to fight!" Louie stopped him. "Unless they do it first, we're going to play honestly."

On the ability to fight, Louie fully believes in Oakley.

He has no problem with the Celtics one-on-one, but if he is sent off, Ewing's rebounding problem will be publicly punished by the Celtics.

The Celtics' starter is still the five people Louis is most familiar with.

The Knicks' starter, however, was different.

Tonight, the Knicks' starting lineup is Spot Webb, Ellis, Campbell, Oakley, Ewing.

"It's unbelievable that LittleLu actually took John Stockton, who averaged 13 points and 12 assists, out of the starting roster!"

"Instead, 5-foot-6 Webber was put on the starting roster."

"What is this for?"

Louie deliberately called Webber to his side and told him seriously: "Only Isiah can keep up with your speed. As long as we use our pick-and-roll system, you are the 'no countermeasure' under the Celtics' defensive system."

Louis' remarks inspired the strongest 168 on the surface.

"Coach, I must..."

Before his rhetoric could be said, he was pushed onto the court by Louis.

"Don't tell me those useless things, get ready for a big fight!"

Let Webber replace Stockton starting, Tomjanovich and Phil Jackson have concerns.

"Can Spot make the whole system work?" Tomjanovich asked.

"It does not matter."

"No...not important?" Tomjanovich wondered what was important.

Louie said: "There is a big gap between us and Boston. It doesn't matter if the system is not systematic. Compared with this, I want to see how they limit Spot."

Jump ball, Sampson came out on top.

After landing, looking at the Celtics' placement, Louis found that K.C. Jones had given up his high and low positions and instead adopted a formation of two inside and three outside.

This change shows that K.C is an aspiring coach, and he doesn't want to live in the shadow of his predecessor.

In the first round, John Long opened space on the wing, Laimbeer blocked the paint area on the right, and Bird ran to the left to catch the ball and shoot.

Very smooth cooperation, that is, Bird didn't make a shot.

Oakley took the rebound, gave the ball to Webber, and high energy came.

The strongest 168 on the surface did not look at his teammates, advancing at full speed, so fast that even the smiling assassin struggled to keep up with him.

If it wasn't for Sampson's early retreat, Webb's attack would have been completed.

Even with Sampson, he can only cover Webb alone.

Seeing that the offense could not succeed, Webb turned back and passed the ball to the back, and Tony Campbell caught the ball and made a jumper.

2 to 0

"Spot is very fast!"

"Yeah, maybe that's why LittleLu started him, his speed can change the tempo of the game!"

The Celtics' counterattack came, and Thomas had anger in his eyes, as if he was going to fight back in person with Webber.

However, Weber has been instructed by Louis to let Thomas short by two meters.

"Isaiah, it's been two years, have you practiced your three-pointer? Vote for me to see!"

Louie shouted from a distance.

Thomas turned a deaf ear and passed the ball to Sampson.

Sampson was facing Ewing and was about to dribble the ball suddenly, when he suddenly found that the opponent's center of gravity had dropped a lot today.

There is still a lot of attacking time, Sampson does not intend to play hard, and the ball is handed over again.

In the end, Laimbeer threw a three-pointer.

"boom!"

The rebound flew to a place beyond the control of the inside line, and Bird flew to grab the offensive rebound with a superhuman consciousness, turned around a forty-five-degree angle and hit the shot.

2 to 2

"Tony, don't let him grab the rebound so easily, didn't you see that even Patrick was stuck?" Louie shouted.

Bostonians are very strange. In their impression, Louis is at most "instructing" on the sidelines when the team is attacking. Why did he go to New York and his personality changed?

He didn't interact with players so intensely and frequently when he was in Boston.

Webb dribbled the ball over, saw Louie's gesture, and understood.

I saw Webber raised his left hand and hooked the two insiders in the team.

Suddenly, Ewing and Oakley reached the high post at the same time, and the two most animal-like members of the Knicks' famous 85 animal class gave Webber a double pick-and-roll.

This pick-and-roll is also known as the slide screen within the Knicks, because the layering of the screen spreads down like a slide.

Webber's intention was not to attack the paint. He ripped apart the Knicks' defense through the pick-and-roll, and Sampson bit him like a hyena.

Sampson's body, speed and athleticism all threaten the safety of the ball.

Webb hurriedly passed the ball.

Campbell catches the ball and transfers again.

In the high position, the moment Ewing took the ball, he immediately transferred it to Ellis who was emptied beyond the left three-point line.

Ellis made a three-pointer.

5 to 2

"This is our silent assassin, his three-pointer is no joke, don't miss it next time." Louis provoked.

He was provocative on the surface, and he was still nervous about Sampson's close defense against Webber just now.

Sampson proved that under the current rules, he can entangle Webber.

The Celtics have maintained the pocket team style of the Louis era, so this inside line is not easy to enter. Webber's body will be surrounded to death if he is strong inside, so Sampson must have used his consciousness to judge that Weber is going to take the ball to the wing.

Fortunately, Webber played the ball in time and his teammates moved the ball fast enough, otherwise the tactics would be in vain.

This is Ralph Sampson, the monster that Louie raised.

His defense is stronger than it was last season.

It's no wonder that he beat the Lakers to a screeching halt in the finals last season, and even snatched the FMVP from Bird and Thomas. His personal ability has reached another level.

His influence tonight is still on the defensive end, and the offensive end has not yet exerted force.

When Sampson began to hold the ball, the Celtics officially entered the state.

Bird is the ace of the Celtics, while Sampson is a barometer of both offense and defense.

The rhythm of the Celtics is fast, and Sampson and Bird are both low.

Ranbir lobs to Bird.

Sampson released his position, Ewing just relaxed a little, suddenly, his opponent knocked his body and rushed into the basket, Bird only needs to throw the ball into the sky.

"boom!"

Louie did not scold Ewing for not resisting Sampson, because the impact was a foul.

Why didn't the referee blow the whistle? Of course he doesn't whistle~www.readwn.com~ Louie just stared at Ewing, wondering if the guy would respond.

Sure enough, Ewing's personality is a bit boring, and the superstar's temper and self-esteem are all there, and he must respond when he is beaten.

It's just...his response ball isn't solid.

With Sampson on his back, Webb passed the ball, Ewing turned and leaned on the hooker, and was blocked by the other side.

The ball fell back into Ewing's hands, and he wanted to play again, and Louie roared.

"Don't worry!"

Ewing fell silent and gave the ball to Oakley.

Oakley swayed for a while, and he actually played a back pass, and the ball was transferred to Ellis.

His three-point threat has aroused the Celtics' vigilance, causing the Greens to expand their defense.

This is the value of space points.

A good shooter can bring comfortable offensive space.

Ewing did a slide screen with Oakley again, went down by himself, caught the ball, and challenged Sampson again.

Even if he's the league's leading center, there's no way to stop Ewing from shooting high and scoring.
