The Rest, Only Noise

The defensive intensity of the Knicks' murder press changes, escalates, or declines every year.

As the Celtics who have seen the murder press go from infancy to maturity to the brutal intensity of the 1988 Eastern Conference Finals, they are qualified to rate the Knicks' murder press this year.

The Knicks are now pressing for murder, missing Michael Cooper and Charles Oakley, but adding a defensively evolved Wilson and DPOY-level Rodman.

While Ainge's athleticism was a bit of a drag, the presence of Stevens and John Salley ensured that the Knicks' murder press could still stifle an opponent's offense in a criminal way.

In the 3 minutes when Isaiah Thomas was substituted, the Celtics scored no points, and the Knicks poured a 12-0 climax.

Rodman's terrifying 3 steals and 2 blocks proves that he is the strongest defensive player in active service.

Due to Rodman's dazzling defensive performance, Wilson's defensive output at the first defense level was just "just okay" in Louis' eyes.

At halftime, the Knicks beat the Celtics 65-45. .

Sampson got off to a strong start, but once the Knicks' flanks were pinched, it was difficult for teammates who were emptied to respond effectively with shots.

Bird's positioning is strange again, and Thomas and the other starters have no chemistry.

Jimmy Rogers' layout so far has been a complete failure.

In the second half, the Celtics successfully switched to 21 Nets mode.

The Big Three will play singles, I will play singles, and then I will play singles for him.

It seems silly, but it's actually the safest way.

At least, they gave the stars a chance to play singles, and the strength of the Celtics' Big Three was there, with a difference of 20 points. In the end, the Knicks only won by 4 points.

Rodgers became a Wang Jingze, and he found that Bird, Sampson, and Thomas' pick-and-roll attack was unfavorable.

In particular, Bird has the ball and Sampson picks and rolls.

These two people are both offensive and dead-end existences. After the pick-and-roll, there are countless cooperations that can be derived, and it is impossible to prevent them.

And that's what Louie left behind in Boston.

Rodgers is soberly aware that Louie has left behind a system that will allow them to hit Sampson, Bird, and Thomas to retire.

For the result of the game, Louie was not surprised, he deliberately stimulated Jimmy Rogers.

"Jimmy, if the shoes are not broken, don't replace them." Louis smiled lightly, "You don't know if your new shoes fit."

Rogers' face changed slightly, he remembered what he was doing.

Why go the old way?

He still has a lot of time to test his tactics, who said LittleLu left something right? Didn't K.C be defeated by the opponent because he completely embraced LittleLu's tactics?

"The days ahead are still long, Coach Lu." Rogers said in a deep voice.

Louie is sure Celtic's days are long, but Rodgers' days?

"Larry, their competitiveness is only a few years away. If you don't succeed this year, do you think Reed will continue to be patient with you?"

Louie insidiously planted a tree of fear in Rogers' heart.

That night, Louie brought Wilson and Rodman to reporters.

Rodman had 14 points, 14 rebounds, 5 steals and 3 blocks today. He is now very much like the one who dominated the rebounding title in the 1990s and defended the small ball inside from the 1st to the 5th like Drummond Green. .

Now Rodman, like a bad boy on the court.

He dared to play black hands and feet, and if Louie needed him a violent foul, he could turn anyone over with just a wink, but it wasn't his intention.

He's just trying to get his feet wet with the Knicks.

Rodman had no idea how much Louie valued him.

He also doesn't know how many coaches of the teams in the past few years wanted him by name, and he was so good.

"Dennis is a good guy, just not so obvious." Wilson teased his classmates, "I don't know why so many people regard him as a bad guy, just because of his extreme actions on the court? But this The sport itself is an intense sport, and when we play on the court, the adrenaline rushes out of control, Dennis is the hardest-working player I've ever seen, and we rely on him everywhere."

Louie, on the other hand, found a way to build momentum for Rodman's DPOY.

"So far, Dennis is averaging 12 rebounds, 4 steals and 3 blocks (because he's only played two games this season), and those numbers are 26 minutes per game as our sixth man. It did." Louie emphasized, "The stronger our opponent is, the more playing time he will play, and he is the best defensive player in the league. I believe that if the coaches in the league vote, he will definitely be higher. Vote to be elected DPOY."

Rodman has become a flower of praise for his most trusted teammate and most respected coach.

He looked at a loss, a little embarrassed and shy.

He wanted to escape the place, but he couldn't, so he had to lower his head to avoid the sight of others.

"Dennis, do you think you'll be the DPOY this season?"

A reporter from New York asked.

So Rodman raised his head and whispered, "I... I've been working **** this, and this is the award I most want to win."

Reporters have since asked about Sean Kemp.

The Knicks' three popular questions are Wilson, Kemp and McHale.

They were both funny, Wilson and McHale were mostly articulate, eloquent, and humorous.

Kemp is now the same as Rodman, who had just entered the league back then. He is very timid and not very calm in the face of the camera.

But the content of his game was too surprising, and he scored another dunk against the Celtics tonight that made MSG boil.

The reporter expressed the desire of the majority of Knicks fans for Kemp to play more time.

Louie laughed dryly: "He is still a child, you have to be patient, and when the time is right, I will increase his playing time."

The Knicks have won both games at the start, and the atmosphere in the team is very good.

The "additive disorder" that Louis has been worrying about has not yet developed.

Because their starting lineup is stable, the positions of those five are difficult to move.

The two points he was most worried about were Hornacek and John Salley.

These two are both young and strong, and they have already started in other teams, but in the Knicks, they will never be able to play.

Selly's position is the insider that the Knicks are currently lacking. He can play the 4th and 5th positions, and he himself is an optimist who does not regard basketball as a lifelong pursuit. With his identity as a Knicks player, he has already stepped into the entertainment industry with half of his feet off the court, appeared on various shows, and even asked Louie to take him to meet some directors. He wants to make movies.

Although he is one of the Knicks' enforcers, he is not as vicious off the court, lacks competitive awareness, and doesn't care whether he is the main force or a backup.

That kind of guy is a baby, and Louie is ashamed that he almost traded for Selly last season.

As for Hornacek... So far, he has shown no dissatisfaction and has not asked Luis for more minutes because he signed a contract that didn't expire until 1991.

This year is not his contract year, he has no need for stats and enjoys the Knicks atmosphere.

What about next year? Will he increase his shots and minutes for his big contract?

Louie is difficult to determine, the rest of the others, Rodman is no problem, Angie and Bowie are both veterans who came for the championship and will not care about their roles, Stevens is special, he is like Udu of the Knicks Nice Haslem, as long as Louie is there, he will be there, whatever the role.

Kemp and Doug West are both rookies and won't be a problem for a year or two.

Reggie Williams is in a special situation. Although he is very powerful, he has a glass body and is easy to get injured. He does not support the endurance of his body when he wants to play. He came to the Knicks to join Ewing because he wanted to play next to his seniors and win the championship by the way.

Brad Rohos is the only dispensable player on the Knicks team.

He's Matt Bonner of the Knicks.

If Hornacek and Salley don't have problems, the Knicks will be fine internally.

Louie finds that he's in a much better position than Boston at the moment.

With the Celtics, he had to balance the needs of Cedric Maxwell, deal with the racism on the team, and make everyone docile, and with the Knicks, it really sucks, he If you can solve it, you can solve it. If you can't solve the transaction, everyone will be happy.

If the Knicks have no worries for the time being, it can only be external factors that can prevent them from winning three consecutive championships.

Celtic? Lakers? pioneer? Or another dark horse?

So far, Louie will see the Lakers as the No. 1 rival.

Because the Celtics and Blazers have problems with their coaching staff, other teams are competitive but not strong enough to challenge the Knicks.

After two days of rest, the Knicks flew to Orlando ~www.readwn.com~ to challenge the new army magic.

During the trip, the Knicks discussed two things.

One is international news, the Berlin Wall is open; the other is a scandal in the sports world, when former MLB superstar Pete Rose was fired by the Cincinnati Reds over a gambling scandal.

This made Tomjanovich nervous: "Are you saying we're betting on that **** Michael Tyson game of the same nature?"

"What Tyson, is there such a thing?" Louie always loses his memory when it's time to lose his memory. "Did you take the dream seriously, Rudy?"

Tomjanovich's eyes widened. He had never seen someone so unfazed and blunt: "Oh yes?"

"Yeah, what Tyson, who is Tyson?" Louie smiled naturally, "Nothing."

Whether this matter is so serious, Louis is not sure, but he is sure that this is a private matter between him and the teaching assistant. Since it is a private matter, as long as they do not admit it, it will be foolproof.

He couldn't help but applaud his wit.
