Chapter 700 The irreverent New York Double Star(1/2)
In the fourth quarter, Sampson made a mistake in serving and was intercepted by Wilson.
Wilson turned around and threw the ball, and Bird's defense was a beat slow...
This three-pointer seemed to imply something, the arc was super high. The ball was still flying in the air, and Louis felt like he was going to hit the ball.
As a result, I really made progress in cricket.
After this goal, the difference between the two sides became 15 points.
The momentum of the Celtics was shattered.
In the final, 118 to 104.
The Celtics did not give up or give up when the victory was already decided, and they just did not let the Knicks open the score to an unacceptable number.
However, the fans in Boston Garden could not accept this result.
"I don't understand, why not let Ralph hold the ball and attack?"
CBS commentator Billy Cunningham was stoked.
Cunningham called Sampson the No. 1 center.
Note that this number one includes all centers in history. Cunningham believes that no other center can compare with Sampson, and having him is the Celtics' greatest luck.
"I know that even if he gives up the ball attack, Ralph can play very well, but he could have played better. He could play Patrick Ewing like a high school student. Why don't you let him
To do this?”
"The fault lies with Jimmie Rodgers, he must take responsibility for this game!"
When Louis and Rogers shook hands politely, they mentioned: "If you don't know how to discipline Isiah, you can call me. I am very experienced in this area."
Rogers had heard how Louis taught Thomas a lesson.
"I know those things, Coach Lu." Rogers said helplessly, "But Isiah is no longer the Isiah he used to be."
After saying this, Louis asked: "He has grown to 6 feet 2 (1.9 meters)?"
"No."
"Can he consistently hit three-pointers?"
"No."
"He doesn't laugh anymore?"
"After you left, the smile on his face grew more and more."
"Isn't that right?" Louis sneered disdainfully, "Isiah is no different from what he was back then, he is still the same rough and treacherous dwarf."
Rogers only heard about how Louis got along with Thomas.
Those things are legends and taboos among the Celtics, and Thomas doesn't like others to mention them.
"I'm willing to help you. If you need anything, call me anytime."
Is Louis really willing to help him? Just kidding, he is not too full to cause trouble for himself. The so-called willingness to help Rogers is just to use Rogers to understand what the Celtics have been going through internally over the years.
He just wants to control a channel to satisfy his gossip mentality and get some free time.
Help Rogers? He really helped, but Rogers might not dare to use it.
Just like the way he dealt with Thomas back then, he really didn't think that 2B, who was so beaten by Thomas that Sampson was forced to beat the tool man, would dare to learn and use it now.
Although Louis' method is simple and crude, to deal with a traitor like Thomas who likes to stab in the back, you have to stab in the face like this.
If you play backstab like him, you will be brought to the same level by him.
He will undoubtedly destroy you completely with his wealth of experience.
Rogers didn't understand, so he made a mistake.
What Louis didn't understand was, why didn't Auerbach stop it?
However, Rogers didn't seem to intend to get too close to him.
After the game, Louis was surrounded by the Boston media.
They thought there were all kinds of questions that needed Louis to answer, but Louis seemed distracted.
The Knicks' most talked-about player is Wilson, who got the upper hand against Bird.
Tonight, Wilson scored 34 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists. When asked how to evaluate his performance, he smiled slightly and even praised his teammates.
"You shouldn't ask me these questions, because the people who should be asked the most are my teammates, like John (Stockton), who had 14 assists tonight, you know? He has done it for three seasons in a row.
Averaged at least 13 assists per game."
"And Patrick, he has always said that he is the best defender in the league. After watching tonight's game, maybe I underestimated him. He is not only the best defender in the league, he is also the best defender in history.
The best defender of all time. He held Ralph Sampson to just 26 points in 44 minutes, something even Wilt Chamberlain couldn't do."
"Cough cough cough!!!"
"Coach Lu, what's wrong with you?"
"I was choked by the hypocrisy that hit me."
It's okay to praise your teammates, but you can't praise your teammates and criticize them.
Wilson was furious and carried Chamberlain out.
Isn't this looking for trouble?
Who is Chamberlain? Just like O'Neal after his retirement. Although he is no longer in the world, there are legends about him everywhere in the world, and he himself likes to jump out and give advice.
Wilson's last sentence, "Not even Wilt Chamberlain can do it," can be regarded as giving Big Dipper a chance to enter the field.
"Today's young people are increasingly unaware of the heights of the sky. I won't say who it is, I'll just mention it casually. Just know that I can't guard against Ralph? Don't you know that I have the strongest
The strength and speed of Isiah Thomas, the elasticity of Michael Jordan? I really don’t care about these things, but sometimes you have to respect your seniors. Some of the kids when I played were not even liquids."
Chamberlain complained wildly in an interview with the Los Angeles Daily News.
This time, things got interesting.
The Knicks' second game in March is against the Bucks.
Before the game, Bucks star player Rich Pierce did not forget to express his anger: "We will continue to attack the Knicks' penalty area tonight. I hope the center who is better defensive than Wilt will show mercy."
Louis didn't mind the off-court rhythm, but he didn't expect that this Pierce's mouth was as mean as the other Pierce's.
Since the other party took the initiative to send it, Louis certainly wanted to take this opportunity to stir up Mr. You's emotions.
He asked people to take the words to the locker room.
Billy Donovan recounts Pierce's words.
Hearing this, before Ewing was angry, Louis actually smashed the tactical board: "That's unreasonable! What the hell is Richie Pierce? Hasn't he been seriously repaired?"
Ewing's face would look fierce even if he wasn't angry.
At this time, he calmly asked Zhao Yuanzheng: "What is my record of blocked shots in a single game?"
"12." Zhao Yuanzheng reported it without even checking the information.
Ewing smiled grimly and said: "Then I will try to break this record tonight."
"Patrick is our leader. Richie Pierce dared to speak rudely. He insulted not only Patrick, but also all of you. I don't need to say more about what needs to be done, right?"
Before leaving the dressing room, Louis lit another fire.
What happened in the locker room determined how miserable the Bucks would end tonight.
When Bucks coach Del Harris met Louis, he didn't know what was about to happen.
He specifically apologized to Louis for what Pierce said: "Lou, Richie said some nonsense today, don't take it to heart."
Louis said helplessly: "Del, like you, I can't control the players' thoughts. This matter is beyond your control."
Hearing this, Harris' heart sank.
He knows very well that once the Knicks players complicate the problem, as Louis said, the direction of things will be unpredictable.
This is a tough game for Richie Pierce.
The Knicks don't treat people right, and they don't engage in continuous sitting.
Pierce's foul mouth only targets Pierce alone, unless someone in the Bucks backs him up.
Pierce happens to be the top star of the Bucks, so if you want to target him, many people will naturally be implicated.
Louis only saw Pierce being tightly guarded, and none of his shots went in under Wilson's defense.
Whenever he breaks through, there is always someone to slow down his progress and buy Ewing time to help defend.
Ewing's hot pot restaurant opened quickly, giving away five hot pots in the first quarter, three of which were awarded to Pierce.
Pierce's nightmare, and the Bucks' entire team's disaster, is about to begin.
On this night, the Bucks' score was maliciously suppressed to 72 points, while the opposite Knicks scored 132 points as they pleased.
Ewing played the central role, scoring 10 points, 24 rebounds and 15 blocks in a single game, setting a new personal record for blocks in a single game.
