The Rest, Only Noise

Chapter 548: Bottoming out...or slipping into the abyss

Game5 night, just like last year, the Knicks were cornered again.

However, any fan who watched last year's game won't be satisfied with the Knicks' performance.

Last year's Knicks were a challenger to the throne. Although they were weak, they played a very beautiful series and showed their potential.

However, this year is different.

Last year, no one expected them, not even they thought they could beat the Celtics, so they could play lightly in every game, and even if they were beaten, they would try their best in the next game, so they won The respect of all, and the future that the media are looking forward to.

This year, the Knicks, who introduced Michael Cooper, should have performed better, but in the Eastern Conference finals, the three players in the team who were selected for the second team did not perform as expected.

Especially Game3 and Game4, it is not an exaggeration to say that they were repeatedly ravaged by the Celtics.

"Tonight, the Celtics have a chance to end the series at home!"

"What do you two think?"

Dick Stockton hands over the stage to Billy Cunningham and Tom Heinsohn.

"So far, I don't see any sign of the Celtics losing in Game 5," Cunningham laughed. "The Knicks are not the same as they were last year, their morale is already very low, so tonight is very difficult. It could be the end of the series."

Heinsohn has no opinion on the game, he will win anyway.

He had this idea in his mind.

As for the stage, he slammed Louis for not shaking hands with K.C. Jones at the end of the Game4 game: "I can understand other things, but this one thing, I can't understand. Litterlu obviously forgot who brought him into this line, I am so disappointed in him!"

Similar public opinion, Louis has been burdened for two days.

What he's doing, it's not authentic, but he needs to draw a line with Boston in this way, because if they want to beat the Celtics, the intensity of the game has to be at another level.

Hate, disgust, all negative emotions must come out.

A Louie, who was hanging out with an old Celtics friend, couldn't have turned the Knicks into such a team.

In front of Louie are five players who are the Knicks' starters tonight.

Louie said that the starter of this game will be the most hard-working person in the competition in the past two days.

"First of all, I would like to congratulate the five of you. You have proved yourself in the fierce competition in two days."

"However, I also feel sorry for you, because you will carry the hope of the whole team against the Celtics who are on the rise, the strongest team of all time."

"Fuck the strongest in history!" Oakley yelled, "Do it if you want to be the strongest in history!"

Oakley was one of the starters for the game.

"That's right, we're the strongest in history if we beat them!" Rodman said in response to Oakley's words.

He was also one of five starters tonight.

"Okay, I hope you are not just shouting slogans. When the game starts, I want to see real intense physical contact!" Louis said heavily, "In the past few days, the outside world has become more and more suspicious of us, and you and I Just as angry. But anger doesn't solve the problem, because in Game 3 and 4, we really couldn't respond to the Celtics like a bitch."

Louis' eyes swept across the starter.

"For losers, every defeat has a perfect excuse. They often use various ways to excuse themselves, but no matter how many excuses, they can only comfort themselves, not others, even if You've earned the respect of your opponents like Jerry West, but losing is losing.

So if we don't want to repeat the same mistakes we have to redeem ourselves tonight, it doesn't look like it's a perfect moment, we're at the bottom and the Celtics are at the top; they just need one more win to advance, But we need three! Louie said loudly, "To change all this, you have to create a chance to win at all costs. No matter what we do, the opposite of victory is redemption. History will only remember the winner!" "

After a speech by Louis, the Knicks' starters stepped onto the court.

After two days of competition, the players who won the starting position were Hornacek, Ellis, Rodman, Oakley, and Ewing.

If Ellis, the player who temporarily replaced Miller as the starter in the Eastern Conference finals, is also regarded as a substitute, it means that there are a total of four substitute players, replacing the original starter.

For the Celtics, it is still the five starters of that iron.

Before the game, Louie came to K.C.

"Are you going to shake hands today?" K.C asked.

Louis Xian

When you just want to win, repairing relationships is after the game.

"Since the atmosphere has already set off here, we might as well not shake hands and make the two sides more hostile."

"What's the point of that?"

"The meaning is that I will really treat you as the mortal enemy that I want to eliminate and then quickly."

After all, Louis really didn't shake hands with K.C. This move once again caused Heinsohn's dissatisfaction.

"It seems that Littlelu is really like the rumors and can't afford to lose!"

"Yes, if I remember correctly, he signed a five-year contract with New York. If he can't make a breakthrough today, he may be dismissed. After all, the Knicks already have the strength to challenge the Celtics. , but there has been no hope under him." Cunningham and Heinsohn suddenly reached a unified camp to spray Louis, "If I were the team director, I would also consider making changes."

Tonight's referee, one is Earl Strom, the other is Bill Thrall.

Thrall was a mediocre referee, and Louie had coached hundreds of games and was not impressed. Strom, known for disgusting home teams, looks like bad news for the Celtics.

But Louis doesn’t see it that way. The reason why the home team’s winning rate is low in the game where Strom blows the kick is that its scale is very loose, and it doesn’t blow the home whistle much, which is encouraging players to increase physical confrontation.

Players who are used to winning at home will naturally find it difficult to adapt to the games hosted by him. But whether the Celtics have home-court advantage, for the Knicks, the significance is not so important.

What really matters is how the referee allows them to play physically.

So, Strom is the referee, which is definitely a good thing.

The two sides jumped the ball and the Knicks got the ball.

Oakley held Sampson's body roughly.

Hornacek passes the ball.

Up to now, many of the Knicks' main players are not on the court, and it is a bit difficult to ask them to play offense like the main players.

Therefore, Louis does not require much in this piece, and he can play reasonably.

Then he found Oakley's understanding of the word "reasonable" problematic.

Shouldn't he think that it's a reasonable offense as long as he allows himself to get one-on-one opportunities in the low post?

Louie stood on the sidelines watching him hold the ball and yelling.

"To be capped," Louis predicted.

Unexpectedly, Oakley's iron elbow was so deep, he swung backwards and hit Sampson's chest, making Mr. One lose his ability to take off. He leaned against Sampson's chest and made a strong shot.

At least two offensive fouls were ignored by Strom. Who called him the home killer? Is there such a wrong person?

Should call him away angel ah!

However, the referee gave the opportunity, Oakley did not grasp.

Even if Sampson can only interfere with his chest, let him throw a three-no-stick.

"Larry!"

Isiah Thomas picked up the out of control basketball and threw it to Bird on the fast break.

Bird's speed is limited, and he can't complete the fast break by surprise.

Rodman chased after him like a mad dog.

This arrogant defensive arrogance, the stance that he will never give up unless he sees his opponent, is what Louis appreciates.

Rodman slapped Bird's ball hard.

Harper, who followed, picked up the ball and was about to layup. Behind him, Jamaica King Kong flew out and threw the ball out of bounds.

"Beep!!"

The referee called Ewing a defensive foul.

This kind of foul, Louis and Ewing have nothing to say.

The smell of the garden suddenly changed.

Celtics fans booed like **** beasts.

This scene convinced the Knicks' opponents that their opponents have not given up.

Louie turned to look at Wilson and the others: "I don't think those guys can play the whole game~www.readwn.com~ When I put you on the court later, I have no other requirements, just defend like this, okay? "

"No problem," McHale replied affirmatively.

Louie suddenly turned his face: "You didn't **** eat, did you? Answer me loudly, you freak!"

"Yes!"

Louie snorted and looked back at the game.

Harper made one of two free throws.

1 to 0

"Although the game has just started, the Knicks have no intention of giving up." Stockton said, "Littlelu's evolution has worked again."

Now that the Knicks are in decline, it is very likely that they will not survive tonight, and Cunningham will not play.

"Yes, but Knicks fans can't be too optimistic. Their starting mentality has been broken by the Celtics. That's why they need to start so many substitutes.

When the physical strength of the substitutes declines, or they encounter foul problems, the original starters have to play. At that time, can they be ready? "

The Knicks fought a positional battle, and the Celtics were chasing Ellis.

I saw that Ellis got Hornacek's cover from the outside and made a move to cut into the penalty area, which confused Laimbir.

Suddenly, he made a counter-run and dropped to the top of the arc beyond the three-point line.

Catch the ball, shoot.

The terrifyingly fast three-pointer shot, and Harper's help defense didn't keep up at all.

"Shh!"

Ellis rubbed his fingers and said to Louie, "I feel good, coach."

Louis smiled: "Then continue to vote."

"Yes, coach."
