The rest is just noise

Chapter 406 Milkman

The Knicks' tough schedule has just begun.

Two days after losing to Portland, Madison Garden.

The Knicks' home court welcomes some special guests.

Under normal circumstances, as long as the Knicks are in good condition, there will be no shortage of star fans at home. Their problem is that before Louis took over, most of the time it was not normal.

Therefore, even if a celebrity like Woody Allen comes to the scene, people will think he is looking for inspiration.

The Knicks were the object of ridicule there.

Counting the time, this is Louis' third season in New York. Last season they won 50 games, declaring the end of their reconstruction. This season they have two widely-anticipated No. 1 picks, and they should have officially become a strong team.

Judging from the performance, it is correct.

The Knicks have now lost two games and are firmly in the top four in the Eastern Conference.

Tonight we fight against a strong enemy again, MSG is full of people.

Marv Albert said: "The last time MSG hosted so many stars was in the early 1970s."

In addition to those celebrities familiar to New Yorkers, there is also a slightly unfamiliar face.

Jennifer Rambis, she's here too.

She means what she says, if Louis chooses Benj, he will be a Knicks fan.

She is now a Knicks front-row season ticket holder.

It's a pity that Louis doesn't plan to let Wilson.

As punishment for Wilson's late heroics in the last game, he was replaced tonight by Tyrone Corbin.

"What the hell, you didn't let Benj!"

After the names of both parties were given, Jennifer asked dissatisfiedly.

Louis was not affected. He looked at Wilson and said, "You shouldn't have any dissatisfaction with this, right?"

"Coach, I know I deserve it." It seems that he has fully realized his mistake.

"The attitude is good, but I won't change my mind just because you admit your mistake and have a good attitude. You have to be a substitute tonight." Louis said, his eyes turning to the court.

Playing Corbyn is risky because he needs to play against Dominic Wilkins.

This year's Wilkins has completely evolved and become a top-ten superstar in the league.

As long as he and Magic are around, the Lakers will be a formidable team.

Louis meets Pat Riley in the midfield position, and they are old rivals.

"Little Lu, I'm really surprised that you let New York complete its reconstruction so quickly." Riley said in surprise, "The Knicks were in bad shape for ten years before you came here."

Louis smiled lightly and said: "Even if you compliment me so much, I won't let these guys show mercy."

"Although you have risen again, you are still no match for us." Riley said proudly, "The sword of Los Angeles has always pointed to only the green ghost of Boston."

Louis still feels sorry for these people. The Celtics they faced were too powerful.

In the Magic Birds battle, Bird was already more mature than Magic, and now he has Sampson and Thomas around him, two players who can help him when he reaches his peak.

Because of the existence of these two people, even if Bird is troubled by back injuries in the future, he will have enough time to recover without having to bear the expectations of the entire team.

Because when he was coming down from his peak, Sampson and Thomas were just about to enter their peak.

Tonight, Madison Garden officials also prepared a gift for Lakers center Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

It's a motorcycle.

It was a farewell to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, the troublemaker who said before the season that this season would be his last.

Louis felt strange. In his impression, didn’t Kareem Abdul-Jabbar retire in 1989?

Could it be another butterfly effect caused by him? Kareem Abdul-Jabbar retired early?

Regardless, Kareem forced himself to smile and reluctantly thanked New Yorkers as if they owed him something.

If someone hadn't reminded him at the scene, Louis would have almost forgotten that Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was from New York.

When he was traded from the Bucks to the Lakers, the Knicks had a chance to get him. However, as early as the 1970s, the Knicks had already activated their passive talent that would make mistakes whenever they had the opportunity to catch big fish in the future: being a super

Stars put pressure on management to seek trades, and the Knicks were never prepared for the arrival of such stars.

At that time, besides money, the Knicks only had some veterans who looked great but were actually useless.

The Bucks didn't care about New York's dirty money, so Los Angeles got Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

In front of his father and fellow villagers, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's face was still tense, as if he was afraid of being found out. Louis could imagine what he was like in other places.

"Don't you think there are a lot of similarities between you and Kareem?" Louis asked Ewing. "Do you also want to be as annoying as him?"

Ewing said with a low face: "His achievements are undeniable."

"Who cares about his achievements? No matter how high the achievements of an annoying guy are, they are of no use to me!"

Louis used Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to educate Ewing, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar briefly concluded his speech.

Both sides took a short rest, then sent their players onto the field, and the game was about to begin.

Jump ball, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's experience won the opening ball for the Lakers.

No changes for the Lakers, Dennis Johnson, Magic, Wilkins, Kurt Rambis, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

Louis feels like they can fight this way forever.

The referee didn't give Kareem Abdul-Jabbar much face.

The Lakers cleverly opened up the space, with shooters running in and out, leaving the Knicks defenseless inside.

Magic passed the ball to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar from the outside.

His position was too deep, and although Ewing was against him, he could no longer prevent him from scoring.

As a result, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's offense was called a three-second violation.

Tonight's referee is a character worthy of special mention, the god of plague Dick Bavetta, who even Louis dare not provoke easily.

How scary is it for a person who has very poor professional skills but is very conscientious? Just look at Bavetta and you will know.

God knows how many good games he has destroyed. Even if he has reached the point where everyone is calling for beatings, the referees union still defends him, and the NBA also likes to let him referee key games.

Bavetta convinced Louis that there are still referees in the league who dare to ignore the aura of the stars.

These three seconds are too good.

"Patrick, I hope those muscles of yours are not just for show. The old bald guy just went so deep and it was too much. Can you be harder?" Louis began to put pressure on Ewing.

Ewing looked down at Louis.

The Knicks' offense revolves around McHale's unsolvable low post offense.

The iconic 2 High Day P tactic caused confusion in the Lakers' defensive position, and McHale cut into the right low post to receive the ball.

The person guarding him was Wilkins, and this was a man-made mismatch.

McHale was not polite, turned over and shot a fadeaway jumper, which was hollow.

Wilkins' inhuman body was helpless against McHale's attack.

2 to 0

Pat Riley nodded and praised: "New York is indeed a team full of potential. I have never seen other teams use this method to create low-post mismatch opportunities for the inside."

Lakers assistant coach Bill Bertka said: "They will use this method for a dozen low-post offenses every game."

"Is there a way to stop them?" Riley asked.

"It's difficult." Botka is the assistant coach in charge of the offense. "They use the UCLA system as the core. High pick-and-rolls and screens are the dominant part of the offense. It is almost impossible to predict what kind of routine they will use in the high post. Their tactics are too

too much."

In other words, as long as they run the tactics, whether the low-post receiver can get out of position depends entirely on the Lakers' defensive quality.

But the Lakers are not a very good defensive team.

In the frontcourt, Johnson made a mistake in controlling the ball.

The Stockton Black Tiger touched his ball with a heart-wrenching hand and forcibly broke it off.

The Knicks' counterattack began immediately.

Ellis stopped outside the three-point line. Stockton wanted to attack inside, and his ball found Tyler Corbin who was about to go down to the paint area.

The warmth that the Spurs gave to New York for nothing has achieved a leap in immediate combat effectiveness during the offseason.

He has gained weight, moved faster laterally, and his defensive skills have improved significantly.

That's why Louis put him on the murder squad.

Tonight against Wilkins, he was also good at guarding Wilkins without the ball.

It's also good to score points quickly. He inherited the Knicks' fine tradition of scoring points quickly from the third position. Louis suddenly saw the figure of Tony Campbell.

What makes him better than Campbell is his defense and his inability to take random shots.

He's a Campbell with less bad habits.

Wilkins prides himself on his status as a superstar and likes to make random moves on defense.

Bavetta never gives superstars extra privileges. Wilkins was caught by Wilkins when the whistle blew, giving Corbin a 2+1 opportunity in vain.

Louis applauded repeatedly as he watched. He had never admired Dick Bavetta so much.

"Tyrone Corbin is the most underrated player in the Knicks." Albert introduced him to the fans. "He calls himself the 'milkman'. He will serve wherever the department needs it. Little Lu wants him

When it comes to defense, he will do a good job in defense. Tonight, he replaced Benj and performed well, making us all drink delicious milk!"

5 to 0

The momentum was good today. Louis just frowned when the whistle from the penalty area attracted his attention.

Bavetta blew the whistle again, this time for an off-ball foul on Ewing.

Seeing Ewing's innocent reaction, Louis believed that he was really innocent, but he should never try to reason with Bavetta.

"Patrick, no matter how the referee criticizes you, you have his reasons. Don't complain, reflect more on what you did wrong, and don't cause trouble for others!" Louis yelled to ask Ewing to stop complaining.

Bavetta was very satisfied with Louis' reaction: "If every head coach was as knowledgeable as Coach Lu, my job would be much easier."

Ewing didn't expect that even Louis wouldn't stand on his side.

Feeling aggrieved, he kept muttering: "What the hell is this?"

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who always treats others coldly, rarely has empathy: "I understand you."
