The Rest, Only Noise

In the last few minutes of the first quarter, the Celtics were expecting Louie to push the court.

As a result, Louie did not press the whole court as they thought, but naturally finished the first quarter of the game.

27 to 24

The Celtics led by 3 points, the Big Three played 7-9 minutes each, and the Knicks insisted on changing players every six minutes.

Dale Ellis, who played the longest in the starting lineup, was heavily guarded by the Celtics tonight, but was used as a bait by Louie.

So although Ellis only scored 3 points in the first quarter, he verified the famous saying of the small ball era.

An off-ball master can save an entire team's offense.

You must know that Ellis is far from being an off-ball god. His off-ball movement is great, but he is not the historical level of off-ball players like Jordan, Miller, Ray Allen, and Curry. .

His off-ball threat in the Knicks is because the team focuses on the system.

The system that focuses on pick-and-rolls and screens is more conducive to his performance, and he uses his shooting skills and shooting threats to feed back his teammates.

This is a virtuous circle.

In the second quarter, Louis boldly placed the three inside lineup of Weber, Gerald Wilkins, A.C. Green, Antoine Kyle and Manute Bol.

Because the Celtics' second quarter lineup is Thomas, Ainge, Guy Williams, Jim Peterson and Laimbeer.

Compared with the previous two years, the Celtics' lineup depth has been greatly weakened, but it can still be compared with the starting lineup of some weak teams.

What's more, the person with this lineup is Thomas.

Louis expected that K.C would not deliberately make DIY on the Knicks lineup, so the Knicks second team is very targeted.

Webber, who cannot keep up with the Celtics at the No. 1 position, has three rebounding advantages on the inside, Paul's rim protection and the Celtics' performance in attacking the basket will determine the tone of the second quarter.

In the second quarter, the Knicks took the lead in attacking.

Antoine Kyle ran to the right paint area to receive the ball.

As long as they don't play with Stockton, Louie won't force them to play offense.

Kyle caught the ball, found that his opponent was not following, and immediately shot.

26 to 27

Louie whistled and said to Laimbeer, "Bill, what's the matter, do you think Antoine can't shoot?"

The Celtics intend to counterattack quickly, but the Knicks' retreat speed has not slowed down because of the three inside lines.

A.C is a nimble and brisk big man, and as a religious believer of faith, he may be the cleanest player in NBA history.

Flexible footwork allows him to guard the 3 on the defensive end, which is why Louis dares to use a three-inner lineup.

Kyle is a player who needs to use the offense to mobilize the enthusiasm of the defense. When he comes up, he makes a goal, which helps him to defend seriously.

Bol's pace is a bit slower, but that's okay, the coaching staff never expects him to defend against opponents' counterattacks, as long as he tries to keep up with the rhythm is enough.

Thomas frontcourt against Webber.

Thomas, who was playing against opponents taller than himself in almost every game, suddenly encountered a player who was 20 cm shorter than him. On rare occasions when he's attacking with the ball, speed becomes a disadvantage.

Webb put Thomas two meters away.

Thomas dribbled the ball in, fearing Bol's height advantage, and chose a pull-up jumper.

29 to 26

Webber often doesn't know what to play. There are just too many pick-and-rolls.

Stockton has a strong memory and can play all the tactics at will as part of the memory of the game, and he often looks at Louie to see what instructions he has.

"Empty9!" Louie shouted.

When instructed, Webb gestured to his teammates from a distance.

Kyle pulled to the left and took the defender away.

A.C ran out to the outside, and Gerald Wilkins asked for the ball from Webber.

It seems to be a tactic to clear the space for Wilkins to play singles, but Webber turned around and ran back after taking a step behind Wilkins after handing the ball, borrowing his teammate's body to block Thomas behind him. The average defensive IQ of the Celtics is very high, and Ainge switched defenses decisively, but one by one, A.C's off-ball screen was already in place on the right three-point line.

Knowing that a collision was inevitable, Angie swung an elbow hard at A.C. The two fell to the ground at the same time, while Webb rushed to the inside.

Wilkins had a lob, Webb caught it and jumped out of the paint, something Laimbeer could not have imagined.

A guy who is less than 1.7 meters tall actually completed a dunk on their inside!

This is "Empty9", EmptyLob, which directly translates to the airside lob coordination, which is still based on the player's movement, pick-and-roll screening, and creating space. Unlike EmptySide, Lob will use the ball handler as a cutter, while Side is often a combination between the ball handler and the inside line, and it is a surprise.

The Knicks were not happy for long when Louie saw Angie and A.C clash.

"Fuck me and try it!" Angie, who hit the elbow first, didn't seem to have any reason to be wrong, making it seem that A.C made the first move.

Almost immediately, the other four teammates on the Knicks court surrounded him, and they happened to be his classmates. What are the benefits of being a classmate? very good to each other. Because Louis gives almost everyone a chance, they cooperate with each other, progress together, and anyone who encounters a problem will help.

Kyle, Bohr, Webb, and Wilkins all rushed over to surround the people, and the second conflict was about to happen.

Fortunately, there was a referee, and Tommy Nunes grabbed the whistle and shouted, "Want a T? If you don't want it, spread it out for me and play well!"

"He first elbowed me, and then made a rude remark. Is that what it is?" A.C made a legitimate accusation.

"Stop farting here, rookie, it's part of the game, if you don't like it, go home and don't play!" Angie mocked vulgarly.

"Okay!" Kyle took A.C away and said to Angie, "Look who is more ruthless!"

Nunes roared angrily: "Whoever dares to do extra things, I will never let him go!"

"Tommy, I'm not telling you, if you don't see what that boy Angie did to my players, you can ask your deputy referee, he should see clearly, but he doesn't like me, so he doesn't Can blow the whistle, but you should know who Angie is, and you should know that A.C will never take the initiative to cause trouble!"

Louie put a little pressure on Nunes on the sidelines, then found Oakley eager to try.

"Coach, should I go?"

The way his fists are hardened, it is obvious that he is going to fight.

"Go back and sit for me, it's none of your business!"

"Can fights be less of me?"

"Damn, can you stop thinking about fighting all day long? We are **** civilized people, is fighting what a **** civilized person should do? Can you **** learn from me, don't **** it up God thinking about a **** fight?"

Oakley was shocked: "Coach, I must listen to you and be a **** civilized person!"

The dispute caused by Ainge has brought a tougher team to the Celtics.

A.C and Guy Williams roll around in the confrontation.

Louie remembered that Williams wanted to be a thug from the beginning. Louie hoped that he could have his own unique skills, but unfortunately he did not understand it.

Now he has become the executor of Ranbir.

Ranbir never took the initiative to fight, he was not the kind of enforcer in the strict sense, nor was he a thug like Oakley, he was higher than these people, he was a demagogue. He is responsible for inciting the opponent's emotions, provoking trouble, and letting the opponent do it.

Williams' current role is the executor of Ranbir's men, and he basically acts according to Ranbir's face.

Louie couldn't tell if that was good or bad.

In fact, this is a good thing for Williams. In Louie's previous life, he had faded out of the league at this stage, and now he has a stable position in Boston, because both K.C and Auerbach feel that Laimbeer needs a thug next to him.

A.C and Williams landed together, Thomas smashed the ball.

Angie shot from the three-point line, but was destroyed by Antoine Kyle.

Confused, the referee didn't call Kyle a foul.

Instead, he gave Laimbeer a card foul at the basket.

"Tommy?" Now it was K.C's turn to be displeased.

K.C got up and complained loudly, "Where was the foul just now? If the inside line doesn't get stuck, what else would you play..."

Louis smiled and said to Tomjanovich: "Mr. Nunes is really a good balance whistleblower."

"I still prefer Earl Strom to Tom Nunes (the home team has a lower win rate than the visiting team)," Tomjanovich said.

The dispute caused by Angie further escalated the confrontation on the field.

It looked like the defending champions were putting pressure on their opponents, but that was exactly what Louie wanted.

The current Celtics are no longer the steel division that used hand-to-hand combat to recover the Philadelphia 76ers in three consecutive games in 1981.

In fact, even if you search all over NBA history, you can't find a second team like the Celtics with three of the top four in the league.

Their combat power and talent surpass those of many teams.

Hand-to-hand combat is considered self-inflicted status for them, and it is not good for them to fight like this.

This time, Webb will come to a ladder cover~www.readwn.com~ With the Celtic's unstoppable offensive speed, he rushed outside the paint area with a high-altitude parabolic throw and hit the board.

30 to 29

"The Knicks overtook the game with a SPOT WEBB drop!"

"It's time for us to let go of our past prejudices and take this team seriously," Tom Heinsohn said. "LittleLu is doing to this team what he did to the Celtics."

The fierce physical confrontation made the Celtics unable to find opportunities with passing the ball for a while, and Thomas scored the ball to Laimbeer.

Laimbeer fires a shot, shakes Bol up, and then hits the time lag to cause Bol's foul.

He made only one of the two free throws, and conceded the second.

A.C grabbed the rebound and threw the long teleport Webber down quickly.

Thomas caught up at full speed and also gave a shooting foul.

The rhythm and confrontation intensity of this game are not on the Celtics' point. In the early part of the second quarter, they did not gain any planned advantage, but instead allowed the Knicks to control the rhythm.

The source of the game change came just after Ainge's run-in with A.C., when he forced the blood out of the Knicks' young man.
