The Rest, Only Noise

On November 5, the Knicks played their first home game of the new season.

Interestingly, their opponent is the Boston Celtics.

What's more interesting is that tonight is a special day for the Knicks to hold the championship flag raising ceremony at home and the president to hand out the ring ceremony.

As for the Celtics, except for Larry Bird, who is determined to be reimbursed for the season, the rest of the players are still there.

Of their nine-man rotation, only Danny Ainge left the team.

And Angie, it is precisely the Knicks, the sworn enemy of the Celtics, who joined.

Naturally, CBS aired the game nationally.

The Knicks have a lot to watch against the Celtics, even if Bird can't play.

"This is the first time the two sides have met since the tragic Eastern Conference finals, Rick, what do you think of this game?"

CBS narrator Bob Beal asked his partner Rick Barry.

Barry said with self-righteousness: "Without Larry, the Celtics are in a bad situation because we know they are a guy who relies on Larry to drive the team. The Knicks are not. It seems that they are a special team who know how to win, especially their leader - LittleLu."

This is Madison Square Garden. After the Knicks won the championship last season, anyone who dared to call Louis "LittleLu" would be booed by fans.

"Little mother!" a black fan near Barry scolded, "LittleLu is called by you **** stinky bastard?"

I don't know why, but Louie likes the nickname "LittleLu" very much, but New Yorkers are naturally allergic to this nickname.

Later, someone seriously studied it and came to a conclusion.

The nickname was brought over from Boston by Louie.

What does LittleLu in Boston have to do with New York? Made it as if he was still in Boston.

The Knicks general took the ring from David Stern in front of the Celtics.

Without the Knicks, this would have belonged to them.

The Celtics' five consecutive championships have no dead ends. The opponents in the finals, the Blazers, whether it is the Knicks or the Celtics can easily defeat them. This is a recognized fact.

Watching New Yorkers show off their rings, the Green Army felt aggrieved.

Both sides start:

Knicks: Stockton, Miller, Wilson, McHale, Ewing.

Celtics: Thomas, Harper, Reggie Lewis, Laimbeer, Sampson.

The only change from last season is that Lewis has become the team's starting 3.

When Bird comes back, Lewis is still going to come off the bench.

At this stage, Lewis' presence is important to the Celtics.

However, Louie doesn't think that the Celtics, who have the league's first center and the league's top three point guards, are terrible, because their three perimeter players are all players who lack long-range threat.

Therefore, the game plan developed by the Knicks coaching staff is very simple and crude.

Vent Thomas, Harper, and Lewis' three-pointers to guard against Sampson.

If Thomas wants to break through, he will give strength and confrontation according to the standards of the playoffs.

Others, just adapt accordingly.

Ewing wins the jump ball from Sampson.

Sampson doesn't seem to be focused enough, otherwise, with his height and jumping ability, Ewing won't be easy to win the jump ball.

The ball belongs to the Knicks, Stockton dribbles forward, has just settled, and the run has begun.

The Celtics put Thomas on Stockton, Lewis on Miller, Harper on Wilson, Sampson on McHale, and Laimbeer on Ewing.

In addition to tactics, the art of coaching, in fact, if you want to dig deeper, it is just the art of matchmaking on the pitch.

How to prevent your weaknesses from being caught by the opponent, and how to make your strengths work, requires the coaching staff to work **** the match.

The Celtics' impression of the Knicks was last season.

Harper's defense had little impact on Wilson, and the changes between the two sides in the offseason were huge.

The muscle that Wilson has grown has pulled him apart from Harper.

He rudely flicked Harper away, caught Stockton's pass at a 45-degree left corner, and hit a jumper on the board.

2 to 0

Louie's original expectation was that he would become a Durant off the ball and Tracy McGrady on the ball.

Looking at it now, Wilson can't be as deadly as Durant in the short term.

Compared with Durant's wide-open, high-position wandering, Wilson is more accustomed to Jordan Kobe's way of running and receiving the ball at a high 45-degree angle on both sides.

That's why he didn't get along with Dale Ellis. The running philosophies of the two run in opposite directions.

Louis was standing on the sidelines. After the player returned from the defense, he said casually, "Give our opponent a greeting."

Within five seconds of his words, Thomas, who was dribbling half-court, was double-teamed by Stockton and Wilson on the perimeter.

There are no signs of this double-team.

As Bob Bill said, "Like a critter in a tunnel trap, Isiah is cut into a meatloaf!"

Ewing saw that Sampson was going to pick him up, so he followed.

Thomas' vision was blocked. He saw Sampson coming to get the ball, but he didn't see Ewing behind him, and the pass was a lot more casual.

Sampson's hand had just touched the ball, and behind him, Ewing swung the racket forward.

The out-of-control possession of the ball aroused cheers from the audience in an instant.

Ewing caught up with the ball, MSG was like a ceremony scene, and everyone was in a frenzy, only to see the Jamaican King Kong jumping outside the paint area and completing a gliding dunk that was extremely shocking for a seven-foot center.

"Patrick Ewing completely saw through the Celtics' cooperation! This steal, this dunk, OMG!" Beal said in surprise, "The Knicks are stronger than last season!"

Barry said proudly: "This is what I mentioned before, the Knicks know how to win, they won once, everyone on the team is very young, this team has a great future!"

K.C. Jones' successor, Jimmy Rodgers, served as Louis' assistant when he was still head coach of the Celtics.

At that time, he also despised Louis because of his age, and now, he has regarded Louis as the most feared figure in the league.

The double-teaming of Isiah Thomas just now must have been premeditated.

"Pay attention to keep in touch. Once the ball carrier is double-teamed, others must take the initiative to respond!"

Rogers reminded on the spot that it was the most basic.

When Thomas dribbled the ball again, Louie shouted from behind: "Isiah, these guys under my command don't know the rules, you have to be more careful!"

The Knicks' defense has maintained a consistent aggressiveness.

The Celtics don't fit in.

More intense games, they also played, but they didn't expect the Knicks to play like this for the first time since the regular season.

The Celtics don't know, the Knicks' intra-team rivalry is much more intense than this, and everyone comes here.

At Louie's request, the Knicks have indeed become a team that pays attention to confrontation at all times, is eager to fight hand-to-hand, and desperately seeks to collide with each other in order to stifle the opponent's will.

Benjamin Wilson, the one who did it the most.

He was like a demon forcing Harper back when he received the ball. His defense was so oppressive, like a piranha with an open mouth. The overwhelming aura didn't give Harper a chance to breathe at all. .

Harper hesitated for only a moment before Wilson knocked the ball out of his hand and bounced out of bounds.

A player like Wilson, Louis has seen and never seen.

His aggression is not like Jordan's murderousness to eat opponents. And close to Garnett, like to spontaneously ignite, pulling the opponent to death together, so often can't control his energy and let it leak out. But Garnett's biggest problem is that he cares a little too much. He cares about too many things, so he doesn't have the kind of Duncan and Nowitzki who press the alarm at the moment of life and death and go into "give me the ball and the rest of the people go away" mode.

And Wilson is different. He has Garnett's kind of fireworks, that kind of energy that infects others, but he doesn't care too much like Garnett.

All he wants is to destroy his opponent.

This is a Garnett with a killing mentality.

Louie saw the fear in Harper's eyes. He didn't expect Wilson to make so much progress in one summer.

Last season, Wilson was an excellent defender.

This season, he has gone a step further.

The development of the offensive end, UU reading www.uukanshu.com has yet to be tested by more games.

On the defensive end, he has become the Knicks' number one gate on the perimeter.

Compared with before, the offense of the Knicks, in addition to still taking the system as the core, there are many different places.

One difference is that Ewing has been given more chances to catch the ball.

Louie designed a lot of tactics for him to take the ball in the low post.

Because the main opponent after the Knicks, if nothing else, is Jordan's Trail Blazers.

Even with Rick Schmitz, their paint is still a weakness.

The development of Ewing's offense can enhance the Knicks' interior advantage.

Miller and Wilson pulled apart and Stockton passed the ball.

The Celtics trusted Laimbeer's one-on-one defense, so no one double-teamed. In the bottom corner on the right, Wilson pretended to run to the top line, but suddenly turned back and ran to the bottom line, throwing Harper behind him.

Ewing threw the ball over like a hydrangea, and Wilson jumped up and hit the board with a graceful rainbow-circle lever under the basket.

6 to 0

"I've thought about a lot of openings, but this one alone is unimaginable." Barry said something that upset Celtics supporters, "Even without Larry Bird, Boston shouldn't be so embarrassed. , what happened to them?"

Probably the reason why Barry wasn't in the game, he didn't see the intensity of the Knicks overwhelmed the Celtics.

When the outside line is empty, it becomes difficult to play inside.

Laimbeer ran out and made a three-pointer.

But since Louie left, no one has asked him to strengthen his three-point shooting practice. He is a slacker who neglects training, and the three-point rate is destined to gradually decline.

Shooting a three-pointer at this point is like a forced choice that can't be done.

"boom!"
