Chapter 412 Unmatched

After beating the Bulls by 60 points and lighting up cigars at the Chicago Stadium, who was the most angry about it?

Not Jerry Krause, but Charles Barkley.

"LittleL did this very disrespectfully, I mean, he almost hit us in the face with his fist, how could he do this?" Barkley complained, "New York has won the game and won it beautifully, he

Doing that would only make things dishonorable, and I’m very angry. I used to respect him, but now I don’t. I hate New York.”

Hearing Barkley's impassioned criticism, Louis just smiled.

"Charles should indeed be angry, but he should be angry not with me, but with his general manager." Louis publicly responded to Barkley in an interview before leaving Chicago, "He sent away a top ten player in his peak period for the second pick.

player, and then drafted a risky guy without doing a serious physical. Who is most to blame for Chicago being in this situation? It baffles me that Chicago blames me for this. It makes me feel like it's me.

It forced the Bulls to complete the deal with us."

In order to let the fans understand the key points, Louis also said in a weird way: "The deal is not about getting whatever I want. It has to be like this. Someone calls me, or I call someone else. We argue for hours, and then we reach it.

Unanimous, both parties must reach an agreement before reporting to the alliance. I cannot complete the transaction alone."

"I just made a trade that was good for my team. Kevin McHale was our biggest acquisition in the summer, and Chicagoans blamed me for them getting nothing. Isn't it funny?" Louis

He asked bitterly, "Isn't it the person who messed everything up that they should blame?"

Louis also said why he ordered that cigar.

"I don't want to bear so much hatred for no reason. If I have to bear this, let me do it thoroughly. I am willing to be the hated bad guy, so I lit that cigar."

"Isn't this what a bad guy like me should do on the road? We beat the Bulls by 60 points. I lit a cigar to celebrate. I'm very satisfied, huh."

Louis just dismissed the accusations against him. Maybe some people will re-examine what Klaus did, but the fans are irrational.

Louis and his team returned to New York and prepared carefully to face the upcoming strong enemy Boston Celtics.

So far, the Knicks have 8 wins and 2 losses, ranking first in the Eastern Conference and second in the league, second only to the Portland Trail Blazers, who have 9 wins and 1 loss so far this season.

The other two teams that were considered dominant before the season have both experienced varying degrees of decline.

The Lakers have lost 4 games so far this season, and the Celtics have lost 3 games.

It's just that they are like the James Cavaliers 2.0 era.

No matter how awkward the regular season looks, as long as it enters the playoffs, it will still be the top favorite in the division.

Especially the Celtics, there are few teams in the Eastern Conference that can compete with them.

It remains to be seen whether the Knicks and Pistons, who seem to be the most ambitious, can take off their crowns and become kings. Most people do not believe they can pass that test.

On the eve of the game against the Celtics, Louis, Zhao Yuanzheng and Tomjanovich held an internal meeting of the coaching staff.

Phil Jackson has been sent abroad. Mr. KFC, who is in his prime, has been going out frequently recently and is even busier than Zhao Yuanzheng.

The Knicks need to prepare two sets of plans, one is for Bird to play, and the other is for Bird to not play.

If Bird doesn't play, the Knicks will have to deal with Sampson and Thomas.

If Bird plays, it will be the Celtics dynasty with complete combat capabilities.

So far this season, Bird has averaged 22 points, 9 rebounds and 4 assists in limited playing time.

Sampson became the Celtics' arrow for the first time. With averages of 31 points, 15 rebounds, 3 assists and 4 blocks per game, he overlooked all insiders in the league.

When Bird was around, Thomas was shrouded in his light, but now, he is overshadowed by a taller figure.

Few noticed that he also had the best performance of his career.

Thomas currently averages 21 points, 4 rebounds, 13 assists and 3 steals per game. If Magic is not included, he is the number one pure point guard in the league.

The Celtics have three of the top five teams in the league. This has never been a joke.

"Thankfully, Isiah's long-range shot has never been developed." Zhao Yuanzheng said, "We can make a fuss about this."

Louis's headache was not with Thomas, but with Sampson.

He persuaded Sampson to participate in the draft, which changed so much history.

But the biggest change lies in Sampson himself. He has gone from being a shooting star who was expected to be the best center in history by the basketball world, only to be selected as an All-Star a few times before falling due to injury, to a well-deserved best.

As a center forward, he can compete with Big Dipper and Lord of the Rings.

In terms of the time dimension, he fell faster than Zhai Tianlin pretending to be a doctor and being counterfeited.

Louis changed this result. Not only did he change it, but he also made Sampson the number one center in the league. He has been sitting in this position for three years. Since 1984, he has used different postures every night to make Sampson the best center in the league.

Center forwards from all walks of life were in full swing amidst the howls of "Mr. Ralph, Elegant Butterfly".

"Ralph has almost no blind spots. His three-point shooting percentage this year is 37%, and he has a tendency to develop three-point shooting from the left and right wings." Zhao Yuanzheng said with a wry smile, "His only technical flaw is low-post offense. He has

70% of post plays translate into face-to-basket possession."

Both Louis and Tomjanovich know that this is Sampson's personal preference, and it does not mean that he does not have the skills to carry the basket.

"Do you think," Louis asked, "can Patrick keep him?"

Where Ewing's statistics this year have improved compared to last year are in rebounds and blocks.

Currently averaging 31 minutes per game, 18 points, 13 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 3.9 blocks.

His average playing time per game is 5 minutes less than Sampson.

Although he performed at a first-level defense level, history has long proven that super giants cannot be defended and can only be restricted.

Sampson is too versatile. He can score 30 points in a game by shooting, eating, post-up play, and attacking with the ball in various ways.

Zhao Yuanzheng smiled bitterly and said: "It's difficult."

Tomjanovich said directly: "I don't think you can prevent it at all."

Sampson is a major problem for any team against the Celtics.

His defense is dominant, and his offense is also dominant. When he is controlled by Bird and Thomas feeds the ball, his offensive threat may be the strongest in the league.

Because he is one of the best finishers in history and an unrivaled dominant attacker.

To defend Thomas, you can let him take long shots, Bird can go to Spider-Man to greet you, and against Sampson, no matter what kind of inside line you use to defend him, he will have a way to defeat you.

It can be said that the reason why the Lakers couldn't beat the Celtics in the two years after Louis left the team was because Sampson suppressed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar on both offense and defense almost every time he saw him.

And as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar grew older, this suppression became more and more brutal.

"It seems that Ralph is destined to have an explosive performance against us, right?" Louis became pessimistic.

Zhao Yuanzheng said: "He has been in explosive form so far this season, but the Celtics have also lost three games. Fortunately, they are not invincible."

This can only comfort myself.

The Celtics, like other champions, will be passive and lax during the regular season, but every time they play the Knicks, they will automatically switch back to championship status.

For this game, several members of the coaching staff held meetings until midnight.

Finally, everyone left the office tiredly. Although they had customized some routines, they were still not very sure about tomorrow's game.

They studied the core players of the Celtics for several hours, and they did not consider the possible impact of people like Laimbeer and Harper.

Taking the Celtics as an opponent and trying to defeat them, this kind of trouble is inevitable.

Louis was very tired. When he returned home, he saw the dessert Lorraine had prepared for him.

He has been so busy recently that he can't even take care of family matters.

He almost forgot that Lorraine was pregnant and wanted to care about her, but he remembered that it was already very late and she had already gone to bed.

Louis could only finish his dessert quickly, take a shower, and go to bed.w.

Every time Louis wakes up at home, the first thing he looks forward to is breakfast.

Ever since Lorraine moved home, the competition between her and Li Xuanbing has never stopped. Their main area of ​​competition is cooking, which is like competing between boys to see who can pee farther.

Their competition benefited Louis.

Louis enjoyed a variety of delicious breakfasts and gave a neutral evaluation of "this is good, but this is also good", allowing their competition to continue.

If you want to give a real evaluation, Louis thinks Lorraine is better.

She has many tricks and surprises from time to time. My old mother is just too stable. She always does the same thing every time. The good thing is that there are no abnormal moments, but she gets bored easily.

"I suddenly felt that it was better not to be a lawyer. It's too troublesome! I want to be a chef!" Lorraine suddenly had an idea.

Louis smiled bitterly and said: "You'd better calm down before making a decision."

Later, she calmed down and thought that the idea of ​​becoming a chef was too crazy, so she let it go. Then she had a new idea. She wanted to apply for film school and learn how to be an actor.

Louis admitted that with Lorraine's beauty, she might not have any rivals in the entertainment industry, but for a woman like her who became a monk halfway and didn't necessarily have acting talent, if she had no background or connections, she would most likely have to be a vase or a porn star when entering the entertainment industry.

.

The latter is what Louis does not want to see and does not allow to happen.

Lorraine has always been very thoughtful, so Louis regarded her sudden idea as another hot-headed idea. What he didn't expect was that this time it wasn't a hot-headed idea.
