The rest is just noise

"Now you should know what Boston looks like with a clenched fist."

Louis called a long timeout, and there was an all-white tactical board next to him.

"I'm eager to beat them."

Louis' purple suit looks even brighter in the camera, which is a characteristic of live broadcast shots in the 1980s.

"You should not just play with anger on the court. While being vicious, you should also have awe for the defending champion." Louis drew a very big X on the tactical board.

"They work like vicious dogs and want to tear us into pieces, but do you know? Once you stand up and bite them, the vicious dogs will also be afraid. If you are just angry and don't know what to do,

Then go and wrestle with them and turn the garden into purgatory!"

There is no tactical arrangement, and there is no need for any tactical arrangement.

There is only one thing Luigi wants to convey to the players.

"I hope to see in your eyes not only anger and fighting spirit, but also desire. I hope you will learn from the Celtics and be full of desire to become a great and impressive being like them."

Tom Nunez came over to remind: "Coach Lu, the timeout is over!"

"No matter how difficult or dangerous it is."

"I'll stand here and watch you knock down the Celtics." Louis smiled horribly, "Remember, it's a 'knockdown' on a physical level."

The timeout ends and the game restarts.

Tomjanovich asked: "How far do you think they will go?"

"Hopefully it can at least reach the point of restricting one of Larry or Ralph." This is of course the best outcome.

Stockton controlled the ball, and at the top of the key, Ewing and Oakley both came up.

Since both of them could make mid-range shots, the Celtics didn't dare to let any of them go, so Sampson and Laimbeer followed.

The Celtics' empty paint made them uneasy, but the Knicks' goal was never the paint.

Ewing screened Stockton, cut inside, and just wanted to bluff.

Oakley provided an off-ball screen to Ellis at the top of the arc. Ellis immediately used his screen wall to run to the right of the top of the arc and caught the ball for a three-pointer.

"Whoosh!"

Exhange ky high position dynamic switching offense, this is a rare offensive tactic in modern times, but decades after the popularity of small balls, Curry and others will make one shot like this every game. It is most suitable for catch-and-shooters who like to run without the ball.

hand.

47 to 51

Ellis hit a three-pointer, and before the Celtics could take a breath, Stockton took command on the spot and pressed the Celtics full court.

"Are these people crazy?"

Not only are they not crazy, they are also very sane.

Ainge is not a mature point guard. He is just a combo guard who prefers the second position. He has no problem controlling the ball, but if he encounters a full-court press, he will be under great pressure.

The Knicks' full-court press has always been known for its roughness, otherwise they would not have topped the list in foul rate and opponent free throw rate just based on their performance in February.

Bird wanted to get rid of Stevens.

The biggest difference between a full-court press in the backcourt and a full-court press is that there aren't many pick-and-rolls and screens to use, so you really have to run on your own.

If you run by yourself, there is no such thing as off-ball skills. It all depends on who is faster, who is more ruthless, and who wants to get the ball more.

Known as the "Universal Spider", Stevens has a natural advantage when defending without the ball. He is 203 centimeters tall and has a wingspan of 222 centimeters. In terms of physical condition alone, he is a white version of a smaller version of Durant.

But now he has a tendency to evolve into a tall white version of Beverly.

Within a few minutes of Bird's matchup with him, obvious scratches appeared on his chest, which must have been left by Stevens. As for Bird's hands, the scratches were all from Stevens.

's masterpiece.

This is a mad dog, and a mad dog with a strategy and the courage to do evil things.

Bird couldn't get away for a while, and Sampson ran forward, raising his hands high: "Danny!"

Ainge threw the ball forward as if he was seeing a savior. As a result, Stockton made a move to grab the ball and actually hit the opponent's "sac".

Nunez immediately called a foul on Stockton.

As it turns out, he blew the whistle a little early.

Just as the referee blew the whistle, Sampson stretched out his long arm to catch Ainge's pass, but at the same time, Oakley slammed into his body like a Spanish bull preparing to kill a matador.

In an instant, Sampson was knocked flying one meter and fell heavily to the ground.

“!##……!@”

"This is murder!" Heinsohn shouted, "Oakley did it on purpose!"

Dick Stockton added: "This action is indeed dangerous!"

"NewJoker!"

"NewJoker!!!"

(New York Clown)

The fans in the Garden roared and roared with excitement, as if this could scare Oakley.

The referee didn't know how to deal with Oakley because Stockton had committed a foul before that. In the dead ball time after the whistle, except for batting away the ball that fell toward the basket and may cause 2+1, the rest was considered interference by the league.

The rules experts in the office also don't know what happened when Oakley 'accidentally' knocked Sampson away during the dead ball period after Stockton took out Ainge.

You could call him a technical foul, but he didn't do it on purpose.

You can call him a foul. The Knicks have already committed a foul. You can't call another non-technical foul after the ball is dead.

Nunez decided to act according to the rules, counting only Stockton's personal foul, and pretending that Oakley knocked Sampson away later did not exist, and hoped that the fans at the scene would be like fish and only have seven seconds of memory. Seven seconds

Just forget about it after that.

The garden instantly became like a riot scene, with Heinsohn furiously shouting at the referee in the live broadcast booth.

Sampson waited on the ground for more than a minute before standing up. The two sides were in the same situation, and the feeling of hatred that they disliked each other was already flooding into the hearts of fans around the world through the live broadcast room.

Before the age of social media, player-on-player animosity was real.

They really hate each other.

"Keep pressing them, don't stop!"

Louis was very satisfied with the effect of the full-court press, and shouted loudly, making the storm more violent.

In the next few minutes, the Celtics did not score a single goal in open play, and all of their goals came from free throws.

In three minutes, the Knicks committed six fouls and four shooting fouls, but the Celtics' free throw shooting rate was only over 60%.

The Celtics want to do the same thing to the Knicks, but they are no longer the team that can wrestle the whole game and risk their lives to defeat the 76ers at the Spectrum Arena.

That's what Bill Fitch brought to the table.

Today, these ancient basketball philosophies have been eliminated by Louis's tactical system that was ahead of his time.

The Celtics of the past couldn't play the game of the Celtics of today. Similarly, the Celtics of today can't drink blood like the Predator.

The Celtics don't believe they are different from the past, and neither does K.C Jones.

They are so confident in their own strength that they are somewhat arrogant, just like the arrogance of advanced civilizations towards backward civilizations.

Therefore, when they also used a full-court press to deal with the Knicks, they found that the intensity they gave the Knicks was not enough.

The Knicks went from being behind by 7 points to leading by 6 points. The intensity of the game made many people on the court too nervous to speak.

The fans who had been shouting fiercely before were frightened by the Knicks' meat grinder-like terrifying confrontation.

Regardless of his league-leading value, Ewing flew up to cover John Long's three-pointer, blocked the ball, and then chased the ball that was about to go out of bounds back into the bounds before flying out of bounds himself.

Alex Stevens also sprinted to the floor with the ball in his hands.

When it comes to tough style, only the Milwaukee Bucks in the league can say they are tougher than the Knicks.

The Bucks are a group of veterans who know how to do things, but the Knicks are a group of rising stars.

"I hate this Knicks very much." Heinsohn's appreciation for the New Yorkers disappeared when Oakley hit Sampson. "But I have to admit, what kind of coach will have the same kind of performance?"

players.”

One minute before the end of the first half, Sampson pulled up in front of Ewing and hit another three-pointer from the top of the arc.

With a height of 7 feet 4 inches, I suddenly chose to do a dry pull. I really can only pray.

64 to 60

The Knicks were still leading by 4 points. Then, Ewing held the ball head-on and actually hit Sampson's body to kill. This is the grudge between stars.

But for Ewing at this stage, he still can't score against Sampson with this style of play.

He was first blocked by Sampson, then hurriedly picked up the ball on the floor, turned over in embarrassment and made three missed shots.

Fortunately, the offensive rebound was taken by Oakley.

However, the moment Oakley grabbed the offensive rebound and landed suddenly, he stepped on Laimbeer's foot.

A miserable howl came from his mouth, and he fell under the basket like a soldier who had been hit by an arrow.

"Ocques!"

Louis stopped the angry team members and asked them to calm down.

The referee stopped the game, and team doctor Claude Junker led people forward.

He checked carefully and had Oakley put on a stretcher.

The scene was replayed, but no one could tell whether Ranbir stepped in intentionally.

Heinsohn naturally guided the public opinion in favor of the Celtics: "This was an accident. Bill's feet never moved. If he had done it on purpose, the picture would not be what we saw."

Whether Ranbir did it on purpose or not, he acted like he did it on purpose.

His sneer, his sarcasm, his "it has nothing to do with me but you Knicks dogs deserve it" attitude angered the Knicks.

Louis knew that this vicious dog deserved a beating, but now was not the time to get angry with it.

For this reason, he called a short timeout, asked Ewing to play the fourth position, and asked Bol to come up to protect the basket.

Louis asked Bol to bend down and listen carefully to him: "Show up the courage you had to kill a lion in Africa, we need you, Manu (nickname)!"
