The Rest, Only Noise

Chapter 373: The man who brought glory to New York

The Knicks finished the 1985-86 regular season with a 50-32 record.

They are fourth in the East, behind the Celtics, Bucks and 76ers, and have a better record than the Pistons and Bulls.

However, Ewing, Oakley, Stevens and others have been reimbursed for the season, making people afraid to have too high expectations for them.

In the first round of the playoffs against the Pistons, Louie didn't want to lose the game outright. On the contrary, he had to play these cards well with Chuck Daly.

The Pistons are undoubtedly a potential stock in the East.

Dumars, Vinier Johnson, James Worthy, Parrish, Eternal God Background Ilo. Add in Rick Mahone and James Edwards, and the top seven of their entire lineup have considerable strength.

Louis looked at the person in his hand again.

Stockton, the No. 1 pure point guard in history, um, feels pretty good.

The ruthless marksman Dale Ellis seems to be okay.

Tony Campbell, who is good on offense and defense but always gets sick and likes to brush up stats, is a little bit bad.

A.C. Green, who abstained from **** and went to sleep on the sofa without frowning in front of the woman's delivery, should be so-so.

Bol, who averaged 5 blocks per game after the start, is very good, but if he can't do anything but protect the rim, it's broken.

And Kyle, Gerald Wilkins, Webb, Corbin, Mario Elie.

Those ten, plus Ewing, Oakley and Stevens.

It seems that it should be a swooping seven lineup, but it was brought to the top four in the Eastern Conference and the top eight in the league by Louis. Moreover, all the young people in the team played their worth.

Suffice it to say, if Louie wants to have a clearance sale this offseason.

Everyone on the list will be wanted and in demand.

Louie let the young man realize his value, and then came the first round of the playoffs, the battle with the Pistons.

Game1

Louie and Daly shake hands before the game.

Daly said with a faint smile: "Although you have two main players who cannot play, the game is the game, and we will not show mercy."

"You'd better be careful of yourselves. If we kill you, I'm afraid you will lose your job. Chuck, you are my best friend. How can I cause you to lose your job?"

When Louis came back, Tomjanovich asked, "How many friends do you have the best?"

"This... has been increasing, depending on the situation." Louie said with a smile.

Tonight, the Knicks have an interesting start.

Stockton, Ellis, Wilkins, Elli, Corbyn.

Louie straightened out a five-minute starter that left his opponent stunned.

"No inside?"

"There's no inside line?"

"LittleLu is such a crazy guy!"

The reason why Louis didn't let the inside line start is very simple. The Pistons' inside line is Parish + Mahon, which is too strong for them.

Ewing and Oakley are not there, and the inside line is already lame. Instead of being blasted on the inside line, it is better to try other lineups.

Louis put on this lineup to push the rhythm, and the offensive end almost completely relied on Stockton's command and the players' tactical movements.

Sure enough, the Knicks' rebounding was maddened by the Pistons.

This is a predictable result before the game. This problem is not as serious as Louis thought. The rebounds were lost, and the offensive end also showed the kind of vitality that he wanted to see.

Dale Ellis feels like the heroine in all shampoo commercials tonight. People who watch it want to ask him, is it really that silky?

He runs, cuts, catches, throws.

Regardless of three points, two long points, or mid-range, the feeling of the peak Hamilton + Reggie Miller was played.

The entire game, the Pistons were thinking about how to limit him to that.

In the third quarter, Louie let Bol come up to protect the basket and A.C to improve the quality of the screen, but the Pistons chose the right person to guard Ellis.

That is, Ilo, the background of the gods.

Illo should probably thank Louie.

Because of Louie's arrival, he may never be the backdrop for the most famous lore in NBA history.

In the future of this world, no one will point to the back of a piece of No. 23 and ask who is that embarrassed white man.

But maybe he shouldn't be grateful to Louie, because the butterfly effect brought by Louie made him, like Sam Bowie, lost the opportunity to "smear forever".

In fact, the effect of the eternal life and the stench for thousands of years can have a common effect, that is, live in the hearts of fans forever.

Whether it is a glorious image, or a downcast image. When someone remembers you, you are still you.

Illo's defense isn't as limp and unathletic as some white guys, he's good enough, just like another Stevens. But he does not have the outstanding physical condition of Stevens, but he has better athletic talent and high defensive viscosity, which is very suitable for guarding off-ball players like Ellis.

But Ellis has already exhausted his damage, like an ADC who hits all his skills on the opponent and then goes to death. Although he is dead, his damage output is enough for his team to win the game.

112 to 102

The Knicks unexpectedly beat the Pistons by 10 points.

Dale Ellis made 18 of 24 shots and 6 of 9 three-pointers, scoring 48 points and 5 rebounds.

"The last time someone on the Knicks had 48 points in the playoffs was 20 years ago."

"Dale Ellis, he's a deadly killer with no emotions!"

After the game, the reporter asked Ellis: "How much preparation did you do for this game."

"Not much, prepare normally."

The king of the cold field is not given for nothing, and Ellis can also deal tons of damage to reporters in the media interview room.

Moreover, he didn't know if it was intentional or not, but he even pretended: "My hand is okay, mainly because my teammates pass the ball well."

He really should be complimenting his teammates, Stockton was the unsung hero of the night with just 8 points but 17 assists.

He was Louie's only impersonal player, playing 44 minutes.

If Louie were to choose tonight's MVP, he would choose Stockton after an ideological battle.

Stockton can pass the ball to other people without Ellis, and it is difficult for Ellis to receive consecutive passes when he is overwhelmed when he leaves Stockton.

A good defender can always feed you.

And Stockton is the best defender in history. You expect him to attack like other super defenders. It's definitely not realistic. He doesn't have the ability. But if his teammates are strong enough, his passing can help them get stronger.

Game2

The Pistons have learned their lesson, no longer give Ellis the opportunity to output, and staged the traditional performance of the Eastern team. If they are indecisive, they will confront each other. If they are indecisive, they will play wrestling. If they are indecisive, they will fight. .

If Ellis is the third most important player on the Knicks' floor, as he has been, he'll have a chance to continue delivering.

Now, he's the number one problem.

Tony Campbell stepped up, but he scored a lot of points when it didn't matter.

Pistons played their due advantages, Worthy, Parish, Ma Hong scored 64 points and 33 rebounds.

Game3

Louis started inside the normal line, A.C partnered Bol.

The rebound was beaten by the Pistons, and Detroit got match point.

2 to 1

In Game4, Louie no longer regards victory as the only thing, and instead decides to test the upper limit of the team's lineup.

Opening, Louis suddenly pressed the Pistons audience.

Their brutish style allowed Dumars and Venier to make consecutive mistakes.

Within 10 minutes, Louis had eight rotations and a huge advantage of 27 to 5.

"The question for the Knicks is not how to beat the Pistons, but how to play the remaining three quarters after this intensity of defense."

Well said, Louis doesn't know either.

The Knicks' full-court pressing is already in place. The fierceness of the defense and the degree of confrontation are all first-class and tough in the league.

It's just that Louie is not satisfied with the current intensity, because Stevens is not there, and he can't organize a fixed five-man training to press the whole court.

Therefore, at this stage, only all members can participate in the press, and compete with each other for patience and determination.

It won't be until the next stage that he will actually build a murder-pressing lineup.

Today, Louie changes players almost every 90 seconds.

The main 9 players in the team were given opportunities, and there were 3 temporary workers who signed 10-day short-term contracts.

Louis has done his best to take advantage of the flexibility of the lineup.

Game4, he played all the book strengths of this team.

That might even be an over-the-top performance if you count the full-court pressing in the first quarter.

The Pistons slowly caught up, and in the closing moments, Louie used Ellis as a bait to confuse the Pistons and let Mario Ellis run the EmptyLob (airside lob).

The Pistons' attention was on Ellis, who ran completely out of the space and Stockton threw the ball up.

Elie dunked in an alley, and 0.8 seconds before the end of the game, the Pistons were quasi-lore.

2 to 2

Detroiters were so angry that they threw trash all over the field.

Louis wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Really dangerous." Tomjanovich sighed.

Louis walked to the sidelines and faced a live interview. He said: "What we want to convey is that the Knicks will not give up their fight for victory because of anyone's absence~www.readwn.com~ This game is a A response to all who look down on us."

"This team is not the same as it used to be, and you're not going to see another team that has lost two of its core players and is still playing incredibly strong in the playoffs."

This evening, Dave Anderson, a Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter for the New York Knicks, wrote in his notes:

"Everyone can feel the changes this team has seen in six months. They've climbed from rock bottom, centered on Ewing's broad shoulders, and are back in the playoffs. They've fought extremely badly to In the end, no matter what, they can leave with pride. Maybe they can't make it now, maybe they won't make it later, maybe we'll never see them make it, but I see true New York spirit on this team. They are City example, they're warriors, they're a bunch of underrated guys. We have to remember who brought it all.

Louie, when I first saw him, I didn't think he was going to make a difference, I thought he was no different from the bombastic Hubby Brown, but now, I have to change my stance. When he and his team fail, I cry with them, and when they succeed, I'm as proud as them.

Hats off to LittleLu, the man who brought glory to New York. "
