The Rest, Only Noise

Chapter 549: burn with pain

Sampson wanted to hit Ewing with his back, but was attacked by Oakley.

His ball goes to Laimbeer on the perimeter.

Laimbeer has the opportunity to shoot 3-pointers, but his outside shooting percentage has declined year by year, which is a performance in line with the law of the times.

K.C certainly won't let Laimbeer keep his three-point threat. In his opinion, it doesn't matter whether Laimbeer shoots a three-pointer or not.

Thinking of his inconsistent three-point shooting, Laimbeer simply passed the ball to Thomas under the guise of shooting.

Thomas came in head-on, and he needed to challenge Ewing's defense.

Thomas jumped straight up, and the momentum of the jump made people think he wanted to dunk Ewing.

In the end, instead of dunking on Ewing's head against his cognition, he used his body to deflect Ewing's defense and force a layup.

Even though he scored points, Louie still thought his offense was terrible.

too difficult! Louie wants the Celtics to score that hard every possession.

Hornacek dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and was about to settle down when he saw Louis making tactical gestures.

For a time, Ewing and Oakley ran out from the low post.

Both of them cover Hornacek at the same time.

The horn cover at the top of the arc is the Knicks' forte.

The Celtics chose not to guard Hornacek's shot or to pinch.

Everyone went behind screens, a strategy they stuck with throughout the series and why Stockton was on the bench.

In the same situation, Hornacek made a decisive shot, and Stockton hesitated.

"boom!"

The shooting in this situation is not in the shooting rhythm that Hornacek and Stockton are used to.

However, the Celtics have to pay for it.

In order to prevent the Knicks pick-and-roll, Sampson and Laimbeer both left the restricted area. Hornacek missed a shot, but it wasn't the Celtics who got the rebound.

Rodman tapped the rebound off Bird's head.

He went alone against several Celtics players.

He fired the ball about five times, and eventually he grabbed the rebound and set his teammates on fire.

Ellis yelled from the right: "Dennis!"

Rodman hurriedly passed the ball.

Ellis received the ball and stabilized his focus. Harper's help defense was already in front of him, but he still had to shoot.

"It's a fake!"

Bystanders are clear, Louis can see it at a glance.

Harper was thrown into the air, and Ellis adjusted his dribble to the right and shot again.

"Shh!"

"You can't let Dale Ellis shoot like this!" Heinsohn said anxiously, "He can really break a team with a three-pointer!

6 to 3

The Knicks opened two goals, all scored by Ellis.

His three-pointer was like a dangling knife, making it difficult for the Celtics to feel at ease.

The Knicks found the feeling of playing before, and the brutal defensive pressure caused Bird and Sampson to fall to the ground repeatedly.

These actions are too rude.

"It's like a street gang!" Heinsohn slammed angrily. "The Knicks are making basketball ugly!"

Cunningham deliberately directed the topic to Louie: "If the top beam is not straight, the bottom beam will be crooked. The Knicks suddenly became this way of play, and the coaching staff must have played a key role."

The Celtics' star is gradually gaining strength.

Sampson first made a three-point shot after the pick-and-roll, then hit Ewing with the ball and scored with a step-back jumper that made Louis roll his eyes, and the Celtics were guarded to the last second. Sampson's bottom corner A strong shot at the buzzer from beyond the three-point line.

"The One and Only Mr. 8 points in a row! The Celtics have a 4-point lead!"

11 to 7

During this period, the Knicks only relied on free throws.

What do these **** mean?

It shows that Sampson is better than others. Sampson has no solution. Sampson deserves to be the MVP, but it is not that the Knicks are not good at defending. When Bird or other stars have no solution, it is not that Louie has never seen it.

This kind of moment when the star takes over can only be admitted.

Fortunately, only 4 points behind in a wave.

Oakley is more than brave and lacks defense. Now that he has shown his attitude, it is time to improve the quality of defense.

Louie chose to replace Oakley with McHale.

And, to Ewing and McHale, as well as Hornacek to step up the offensive on the Celtics inside.

McHale returned with what the Knicks needed most.

The point where the 4 is responsible for the one-on-one duel with the ball when the sweep and tactics are not open.

Ewing can also play heads-up, but he's too inefficient against Sampson.

"Kevin, leave that vicious dog alone!"

Louie shouted when Laimbeer was on the perimeter.

Completely give up defending Laimbeer's three-pointer, and use Ewing's rim protection and McHale and Rodman's high-level sweeps to build the most powerful defensive system.

McHale can block the gun every time, and Rodman's rotation, defense, transposition and double-teaming are probably the best the team has done.

In addition, he also has a lot of bright spots when defending Bird.

Bird had a hard time beating him to death in one go.

Rodman's body and amazing continuous take-off ability make Bird use a fake to shake him off, and he can't guarantee that he will not be covered.

Rodman's intensity, confrontation and defensive pressure are the best.

When his energy sprayed on Bird, Game3 led the Celtics to implement an anti-full court press against the Knicks and Bird was knocked to the side.

This is not without cost.

Rodman's foul chance increased greatly. In less than seven minutes, Rodman was called a defensive foul for deliberately hitting Bird's back.

It was his second foul and the Knicks' fifth in a half-quarter game.

Bird hits the free throw line.

Heinsohn said dissatisfiedly: "I can't remember the first time that Rodman deliberately attacked Larry's back! The players on the Knicks are like a group of butchers playing basketball, without any professional ethics! "

"Larry looks in pain."

Louie never directly asked his players to deal with Bird's back injury.

But he would provoke them with the phrase "You were beaten to pieces by a man with a wound on the back."

It's normal for Rodman to think "Since Bird has a back injury, why don't I take advantage of his illness to kill him".

After all, Bird's injury wasn't made by Knicks players. It's not a request of the Knicks to let Bird play with an injury, it's his personal behavior.

That's why Louie wants to draw a line with Boston.

If the opponent is a friend, he will not force his players to play recklessly. He will consider Bird's injury and give a similar player to match.

However, Bird played a super high level through his own injuries, and shattered Wilson's fighting spirit in Game3.

He wanted to kill the Knicks, and Louis naturally couldn't sit idly by.

Rodman was replaced, and Louie ignored the eager Wilson and replaced another mad dog, Alex Stevens.

"You come to defend Larry." Louie said in a deep voice, "Dennis did a good job, don't screw it up, I just look at the results, regardless of the process."

"Yes!"

Wilson's expression darkened, he thought Louie was going to give up on him.

"Benj, watch the game, this is not the time to be downcast."

Louis turned his back to him.

"Coach, when can I play?"

"If you're still just trying to atone for the mistakes you made in the past few games, you might as well sit off the court and watch." Louie turned around and said, "I don't need your atonement, and neither do anyone else. This year It's just your second year, it's a matter of course that you can't beat Bird, even if he has a back injury. If you feel bad about that, then you still can't play."

"I need a real you."

"You who are willing to give everything for victory, don't care about the number of shots you take, are not afraid of any opponent, dare to attack everyone, love the game with all your heart, and pursue victory. That is the biggest shining point I have seen in you. "Louis stood in front of Wilson. "But, the last two games, I don't know where you left them. I can't see those things. I'm very disappointed in you."

"Get back to yourself, Benj," Louie said softly. "I'll let you get back to the game only if you get back to yourself, and make the series life and death in your hands. Until then, you just have to sit quietly. Here, look at how hard your teammates are. That's what you have in the past, you're the hardest among us."

Louie took a few minutes to explain to Wilson.

Wilson understood what he said, and no longer complained.

He saw that Ewing did his best to confront Sampson, but there was a gap between the two in terms of hard power and their respective tactical positions in the team.

Sampson pressed Ewing to play.

Ewing is already one of the two best defensive centers in the league, and it's still tough to guard Sampson.

What's more difficult is that while playing against Sampson, he must always put the basket protection first.

McHale lost his usual smile and was more serious than anyone else. He clashed with Ranbir several times, and the two sides started a wrestling game.

Stevens is not as good a helper as Rodman, but he is a mad dog who likes to tangle, and Wilson is the last thing in team confrontation.

The opponent was Stevens.

With Bird's current physical condition, it's really troublesome to meet him.

Hornacek is the point guard ~www.readwn.com~ is mostly a porter.

Initiating tactics mainly depends on Louis's gestures.

He made two 3-pointers, but neither made it.

His biggest role was on the defensive end, challenging Thomas in the high post.

Ellis was the man who propped up the Knicks' offense, going 4-for-6 from 3-point range in the first quarter.

The Celtics won't give him a bit of space, no matter where he runs, you use a few pick-and-rolls and screens to find opportunities, the defender will follow him, the Celtics are aggressively switching defenses when defending him Strategy.

He put in a lot of energy every time he caught the ball, but at the same time, he scored 12 points in a single quarter in terrible form.

Confrontation, wrestling, wrestling, the Knicks greatly limited the Celtics offense, everyone was desperate, and the ugliest aspect of basketball happened in the Boston Garden.

Wilson closed his eyes, thinking about his past, and countless fragments of memories flashed by.

What the **** is he doing these days?

Have you ever thought about giving up? That's ridiculous! How can you give up at this time!

Wilson remembered how Thomas had bullied him during the All-Star Game in his rookie season, how Bird had eliminated his team last year, and spitting in his face some time ago.

What coach Lu expects from him, and how he completely disappointed him with his actual actions...

Wilson clearly felt that those painful memories that he didn't want to think about and that were piercing to the bone, at this moment, were like a sluice gate, surging into his consciousness, and his blood poured straight into his heart.
