The Rest, Only Noise

"Dennis, you replace Benj."

After the timeout, the first adjustment Louie made was to take Wilson out of the rest.

Next, he let Hornacek replace Stockton.

The Celtics' defensive strategy is not complicated. To sum it up directly, it is to find a way to assign the opponent's worst offensive player to Bird.

The Knicks' starter, Stockton's ability to attack independently is not strong, but he is a point guard. If Bird is used to defend, even if they are white, the speed of the former is not comparable to that of the latter. Therefore, let Bird defend. Miller, is the safest strategy.

"Reggie, do you know why Larry came to guard you?" Louie said relentlessly. "Because you are the weakest player on our books, you have to stand up and score and let them remember you!"

"Dennis, no matter what on the defensive end, entangle me with Larry, do whatever you can, don't care about your foul count, remember, he is injured!" Louie means, don't let an injured Bird beat him exploded.

How Rodman will interpret the last sentence is another matter.

"LittleLu, the time-out is over!"

The referee Paul Mihalak came over and reminded.

When the players were ready to play, Louie held Hornacek and said as he walked: "Every time we pick and roll, the Celtics defenders will step back, and they expect that we won't catch the gap for less than a second. "

"Coach, what do you want me to do?" Hornacek asked.

Louie said seriously: "If they give you a shot, even if it's less than a second, you have to shoot."

Hornacek hesitated a little: "That's not my shooting rhythm."

"Just vote!" Louis encouraged, "It's your ability to get in, not mine!"

The suspension ended, the Knicks replaced two starters, and the Celtics lineup remained unchanged.

12 to 4

Seeing the Knicks' substitutions, Dick Stockton habitually consulted his two partners.

Billy Cunningham and Tom Heinsohn have championship titles as head coaches, if not to mention their Hall of Fame careers.

"Billy, Tom, what do you think of the Knicks' substitutions?"

"If you want me to say, littlelu went to the doctor in a panic."

Given the chance, Cunningham would deny Louie: "Is Jeff Hornacek better than John Stockton? I can't see it, knowing that Stockton was just named to the second team, again The league's assists leader, and Hornacek is just his backup. Remove Stockton from the Knicks and they will lose at least 10 more regular season games, remove Hornacek? I don't think there will be anything Variety."

"As for Dennis Rodman's replacement for Benjamin Wilson, it can better reflect littlelu's panic. It is normal for Benjamin to suffer before Larry. There is a gap in their experience, combat power, skills, and strength. If there is no Benjamin, Can the Knicks sweep the Pistons? I don't think so, this young man is the future of New York, and getting blown up by Larry is the only way for his career, but his coach doesn't think so."

Cunningham's malice towards Louie can be felt even by those who don't know what happened between them.

"It can be seen that littleLu is a person who is eager for quick success." Cunningham gave his conclusion, "He is unwilling to give young people the soil and space to grow, and only looks at the results and not the process..."

"Cough cough..."

"Tom, are you okay?"

"I'm all right, Billy, can I say a few words?"

Heinsohn's stance is on the Celtics' side, which he is unwavering.

Although Louie is now the head coach of the Knicks, he has been in Boston for six or seven years, and the establishment of the Celtics dynasty is inseparable from his plan.

In 1984, he led the team to win the championship, which laid the foundation for the Celtics to restore the dynasty in the 1960s.

Although the 1985 "purple suit" incident and the infamous "cigar smoking" before the end of the game caused the Celtics fans to feel disgusted with him, it did not affect these old people, including Reed Auerbach. The Green Kais spoke highly of him.

They lamented the passing of Louis, who was the most suitable for Auerbach in terms of age.

Leaving the Celtics, he also proved that he is not only a top scout and coach, but also, like Auerbach, can become the chief architect of a championship team.

It took him only four years to get to this point, and it is impossible for the vast majority of people to fault his work.

Cunningham attacked the commentary in his own interests. If he just said a few words, Heinsohn would not respond.

I didn't think about it, well, this guy is getting more and more hilarious, and he means to trample all of Louis' past achievements on the ground.

So he pretended to cough, interrupted Cunningham's "casting", and then expressed his solidarity with Louie: "Some time ago, Sports Illustrated, The New York Times, The Associated Press, and 24 Hours and USA Today engaged in There was a joint vote to vote for the best head coach in the NBA. The five most influential newspapers in the United States, 25 reporters made their choices, and Louie got 19 votes."

"It's nothing at all, journalists don't understand the game at all."

"Yeah, and then they did an anonymous poll to pick 50 players in the league for their best head coach. Louie still got 24 votes, number one."

Heinsohn smiled: "Billy, I don't think you should blame littlelu for not being able to lead his team to beat the Celtics, because the Celtics are a real dynasty team and no one can beat them. Also, I don't think littlelu can do anything, the series is just getting started."

Just as Heinsohn and Cunningham were arguing over Louie, McHale, the oldest man on the team, took responsibility on the court.

On the left elbow, McHale backed up Sampson.

Hornacek is in no hurry to execute Louie's strategy, and it's good for them that McHale is in position.

The ball was passed, and the moment McHale got the basketball, Louie asked: "Kevin, you are definitely not Ralph's opponent, don't be ashamed!"

McHale originally wanted to be low-key to attract defensive passes, but Louie looked down on him so much, he couldn't bear it, and he had to do it with Sampson!

McHale used the strength of his entire body to slam into the back, and the focus point of his elbow was obviously illegal, but the referee did not care about his small movements.

Sampson got an elbow, and McHale made an unpredictable right-turn fake to take a left-turn, turn-over, and fall-back jumper.

The action was too fast, and Sampson was deceived by his right turn, and his center of gravity flew out. Unexpectedly, McHale turned left and shook off his 2.2 meter body, scoring beautifully.

McHale scratched his armpit hair disdainfully: "Just here?"

"I know the truth, can you stop scratching the armpit hair? I don't want to see it!" Louie yelled.

Instead of listening to Louie, McHale felt that scratching his armpit hair was an important ritual, as if everyone wanted to see him scratching his armpit hair.

McHale's series of actions clearly aroused Sampson's fighting spirit.

Sampson runs like a glide, and the way a great player runs is not the same as an ordinary person.

They always fly close to the ground like they have wings.

Sampson's teammates knew he wanted to get his game back.

Louis put his fingers together and shouted: "tightenup!" (shrinks the defense line)

Sampson's abacus plays well, but his opponents aren't defenseless.

Every game day, Sampson has about 11% of his offense, and he will use the method of "running to the three-point line in the frontcourt to receive the ball and directly attacking the basket without stopping".

He's hitting a high percentage of this offense.

The Celtics were able to give him enough space to imagine what a 2.2-meter big man would be like with the ball and his body crushing it like a Greek monster.

However, Louie knew what he was going to do by looking at Sampson's running form.

So let the players tighten the defense in advance.

Sampson's ball-handling attack is regenerated, and it is difficult to score by storm under the double team of three or four people.

When he is focused on attacking, he tends to ignore the position of his teammates, which may be Sampson's biggest weakness.

Even if the ball is passed, there is only one goal...

"Don't pass it on to Larry!" Thomas saw the Knicks' trap~www.readwn.com~ It was too late. When people panic, not only will their vision become narrow, but even their ears will be difficult to use.

Sampson's ball went to Byrd, he didn't look at anyone.

The ball went out first, and he saw Rodman, who was defending Bird, and never left Bird's side. The Knicks' "tightenup" didn't include him!

Rodman cut off Sampson's pass, and Hornacek and Miller went down at the same time.

Rodman clumsily passed the ball just right into Miller's palm.

The dormant rookie finally has a chance to score the first point of his career in the Eastern Conference Finals...

"Reggie be careful!"

Unbelievable, Sampson chased back.

He did make mistakes, so when he saw Bird take Rodman's place, he knew what was going to happen.

When Miller and Hornacek went down, he was the first Celtics player to catch up.

He flashed across the court like a shooting star, the gardens cheered like the roar of a train arriving at a station, and Miller's layup was bloodily fanned out of bounds by Sampson.

"Coach, remember to thank Kevin for my help." Today's Sampson is much more mature than when Louis left Boston. He has a mustache, but he can't hide the arrogance of a winner. "Thanks to him, I am sober. too much."

Louie could see the change in the expression on Sampson's face up close.

The league's No. 1 center is ready to start his reign.

Players from the Celtics and Knicks came to the frontcourt one after another.

After McHale arrived, he did not forget the yin and yang strangeness Sampson: "Wow, that hot pot was amazing just now, but if you made no mistakes, you don't have to work so hard. Don't make mistakes next time."

Sampson said with a smile: "Well, I just deeply reviewed my mistakes."
