The Rest, Only Noise

In the eyes of the Boston media, Louis looked like he was about to break with the Celtics.

Since he didn't intend to admit his fault for what happened today, there would be no point in asking any further.

Finally, it was the turn of reporters from other places to ask questions.

A reporter from the New York media "Brooklyn Starlight" who likes to report on sports asked: "Coach Lu, you used to be in charge of the defending champion. Now you have been in New York for two years. Do you regret the decision?"

"I don't regret it at all."

"Especially today, when the fans who once supported me booed me for a purple suit, I felt very lucky." Now that things are irreversible, and Louie, who regards the Celtics as their biggest rival, will sooner or later Breaking with the city's fans and the media, then, why can't it be today?

Is there a better time than today?

His team and the Celtics fought **** to the last moment, Ewing ran out of the Knicks ancestral starburst tactical alley lore, the perfect script.

Now he's a winner, and a winner is supposed to be puffed up.

"Why?"

"I made some contributions, but they still hated me for a piece of clothing, which reminded me of Bill Russell. He won 11 championships for the Celtics in 13 years, and when he retired At that time, he didn't inform anyone. His jersey retirement ceremony was also held in closed conditions. He didn't need fans, he didn't like the fans here. I didn't understand him in the past, but now, I understand him. "Louis With one sentence, he angered every Bostonian present, "This city is not worthy of such a good player, nor is it worthy of such a good coach as me."

Louie made the Bostonians at the scene tremble at the corners of his mouth.

"Now that I'm the coach of the Knicks, from the day I took charge of this team, my purpose was clear."

Louis looked at the reporter from the Starlight.

"I hope that the Knicks can be as respected by fans as the Lakers and Celtics in the future. I hope that when people mention this team, they think of strong competitiveness and countless glory."

"I want to turn the Knicks into a respectable team, just like the Knicks were in the early '70s."

He candidly expresses his feelings, which makes the reporters of Starlight Daily excited.

Since then, the Boston media has turned black against Louis fans, and if Stockton is what Louis said, he is ignored by reporters.

Except for a few questions from individual reporters who asked him symbolically, the others were mostly besieging Louis.

By the time Louie and Stockton returned to the locker room, everyone else had basically packed up and waited for them to come back.

Ewing, Oakley and Stevens are not there.

The remaining 8 people looked at Louis together.

"I'm sure some of you will always remember this game tonight," Louie said proudly. "You should also remember this game, it's a shared memory for all of us, not just our end. The losing streak against the Celtics isn't that we ended the Celtics' 39-game winning streak at home. It's that we came together and fought together against an invincible team."

"Be proud and proud of yourself!"

The victory over the Celtics brought the Knicks to 49 wins.

With three games left in the regular season, they have a chance to win 50.

But it's not that easy either.

Injury reports for the three injured players were released the following day.

Oakley suffered a Grade 2 sprain to his right ankle and a Grade 1 sprain to his left knee. It takes about 7-10 weeks of truce.

Ewing is out indefinitely with a knee injury.

Stevens suffered a facial fracture and is expected to be sidelined for 6-9 weeks.

Ewing's injury looks the most frightening, but the Knicks think his injury is not serious.

Like Stevens, Saburo desperately wanted to wear a mask to come back, but it was rejected by Louis.

Louie insisted that they recover from their injuries before returning.

Because the Knicks are sure to make the playoffs this year, it doesn't matter if they lose the remaining three regular season games.

And, if Ewing can't recover in the playoffs, Louie won't let him play.

He can't be a hero at this time, he has to be realistic.

The reality is that even if the Knicks are healthy, the ideal state is to break through the first round and go to the Celtics in the semifinals.

After yesterday's game, the team the Celtics most want to play now is definitely the Knicks.

If they meet again, the tricks that the Knicks tried before may not work.

Like a full-court press in the third quarter, if the incident hadn't happened suddenly, and the players were in good condition, the referee would allow confrontation without blowing the whistle, and it wouldn't have that effect.

For a variety of reasons, the Knicks' performance last night was destined to be a swan song.

If they meet again, they will definitely be happily sent away by the Celtics.

Since they can't beat the Celtics anyway, the possibility of winning the championship is 0.

Well, it doesn't matter to the Knicks whether Ewing and the others come back.

The goal of returning to the playoffs, set at the beginning of the season, has been accomplished.

Also, the Cleveland Cavaliers are fifth-worst in the league this season.

The Knicks have the right to swap first-round picks with them, so they can make the playoffs and see if the Cavaliers can get a better draft.

When Ewing and Stevens proposed to play with injuries and set an example for the team, Louis scolded the street on the spot.

"You two, give me as far as you can! I don't need you to be an example. If you want to be an example for the wounded, the only thing you can help me is to lie on the injured list and recover from the injury. , don't **** want to play with injuries, I don't allow it, it's useless for you to kneel down and beg me, I'd rather lose all the games than let my players force the game with a **** injury!"

Louie's temper and his unequivocal status in the team made Ewing and Stevens instantly lose the idea of ​​playing with injuries.

Sometimes Louis likes a time when everyone regards minor injuries as a glorious tradition.

Once that happened to his team, he didn't like it.

Bernard King is still lying down. He was still in his prime and suffered an ACL. How much can he be in shape again?

Louie wouldn't allow his youngsters to take that risk.

Therefore, the status of Ewing, Oakley, and Stevens were all changed to season reimbursement by him.

April 7, 1986 Madison Square Garden

The Knicks played their 80th regular season game this season. Even though Ewing, Oakley, and Stevens, the most popular player on the team in the final stages of the season, were all out for the season, MSG was still full of fans.

Because, this game may allow the Knicks to win 50 wins.

Over the past 12 years, the Knicks have only won 50 in the 1980-81 season.

It was the peak season of the famous poison dog Michael Ray Richardson, and then it was gone, and the **** who touched the poison would not end well.

Fans prefer this team to the 50-win Knicks with many regrets.

The Knicks, who lost their two inside starters, started tonight with A.C. Green and Manute Bol.

The Pacers didn't want to lose, and went shopping with the Knicks.

The two sides were tied in the last few minutes of the fourth quarter. The Knicks relied on Bol's incredible rim protection performance, and Tony Campbell's confidence in stealing points quickly through defensive counterattacks, 108 to 104, difficult beat the Pacers.

So, they got 50 wins.

Stockton scored a double-double of 10 points and 14 assists. Campbell scored 36 points and 4 rebounds. The most eye-catching person is Bol.

He played only 28 minutes, scoring 6 points, 7 rebounds and 9 blocks.

It looks like Bol and A.C could fill the void of Ewing and Oakley.

The idea remained in the minds of fans and the New York media for only 3 days.

The 81st game of the season is at home, and the opponent is the Pistons, who are destined to meet in the first round of the playoffs.

Rick Mahon scored 18 points and 20 rebounds in a single game, Robert Parish scored 30 points and 11 rebounds, and Worthy scored 35 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists.

It was a **** massacre.

"Now think about how many games the Knicks can hold on to in the playoffs to be successful..." No New York newspaper can compare to The New York Times.

When the Knicks have a good momentum, they will blow.

Some sensational and outrageous titles are all from their hands.

After they lost their character, they were the first to withdraw when the situation was not good, and then pretended to objectively analyze the reasons for the Knicks' loss.

This kind of madness in winning and losing alone makes Louis doubt whether the editor-in-chief of the Times sports page has French ancestry.
