The rest is just noise

Originally, Louis thought that Sampson was not that murderous today.

Then, Ewing scored in front of him.

Before Louis could savor the moment, McHale jumped up and shouted: "Is this the number one center in the league? Patrick, I feel like you can handle him alone!"

Louis knows Sampson well. He is indeed not a player like Jordan Bird or Kobe Bryant who likes to tear his opponents apart. He needs to be ignited.

If he doesn't seem too excited tonight, then he might just be satisfied with numbers like 25+15.

After McHale's unnecessary provocation, there is still room for redemption.

"I think so too!"

After the Jamaican fool responded like this, there was no way around it.

Louis saw Sampson become visibly excited. He raised his eyebrows at his teammates, his eyes began to show murderous intent, and even his jogging gait looked like "there's an idiot on the other side who needs to be kicked hard."

"a feeling of.

"What the hell are you doing?" Louie yelled at McHale.

McHale didn't realize he was in trouble: "Coach, Patrick is really crazy. He actually thinks he can take care of Ralph!"

"That's not what you instigated!" Louis said dissatisfied.

"I didn't. I just mentioned it casually. I didn't know he felt so good about himself." McHale felt that he had been wronged.

Louis was so angry: "Don't say unnecessary words from now on!"

Sampson's response was very direct.

Ewing eats the cake and scores, and he eats the cake and scores.

The difference is that Sampson used a reverse run to shake Ewing away, cut into the basket, jumped into the air and completed the relay with Thomas.

4 to 2

After scoring this goal, Sampson was afraid that Ewing didn't know that he was coming for him, so he whistled at Ewing.

"You're still whistling, are you kidding a dog?" McHale complained.

"Shut up, Kevin!"

The thing that annoys Louis the most about this guy is that he never knows when to joke.

In his world, jokes can be made at any time, and Louis even doubted that he could joke in front of the corpses of his family members.

The Sampson who gets serious, gets excited, and wants to dominate the game is different from the Sampson who succeeded in letting Ewing take the cake.

When Hornacek initiates tactics, he is used to hitting the inside.

This may not be a good idea now.

Sampson's rim protection made Oakley lose his accuracy in attacking the rim.

Once again, Sampson gets the ball down low.

When Sampson got the ball in the low post, the Knicks didn't dare double team him like they did Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

Because he is taller and, from a passing perspective, he is better at passing the ball than Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

Don't forget, he could play five positions in college.

The Knicks basically let Ewing defend alone.

McHale asked loudly at this time: "Patrick, can you do it?"

Ewing couldn't answer, and Sampson gave the answer with practical actions. He held the ball and attacked Ewing's right side, paused momentarily, got stuck in position, and then turned left with a gentle collection of the ball and moved inward to get the position, which was amazing.

A backhand layup under the basket.

6 to 2

Hornacek saw that Ewing was no match for Sampson.

This is due to Ewing's strong performance some time ago. His performance was so good that Hornacek thought there was no center in the league that he couldn't handle.

Now, this opponent appeared that Ewing had no choice but to deal with.

The excellent low post footwork that Sampson is currently showing is something that Sampson did not have last season.

This shows that he has not been idle. This past summer, he developed his low-post feet.

He is becoming a center who can't find a blind spot.

Louis has never seen Kareem Abdul-Jabbar at his peak, nor has he seen Chamberlain and Russell play, let alone McCann's generation. Among the active insiders, no center has greater influence than Sampson.

Ewing was like a toy in front of him.

The gap is so huge that it's unimaginable.

Then, Hornacek gave Wilson an Exhange (high dynamic attack).

The Celtics were also prepared for this, and Sampson defended the perimeter.

Wilson actually confronted him.

Sampson's momentum was so strong that Wilson did not dare to challenge casually, so he passed the ball to Ewing who was passing down.

Ewing wanted to attack the basket, but was violently fouled by Laimbeer and went to the free throw line.

"I don't know what happened, but the Knicks definitely pissed off Ralph," Heinsohn said arrogantly. "Making Mr. Only angry is definitely the worst choice."

Ewing made one of two free throws.

3 to 6

Louis couldn't stand it anymore, and he shouted at Wilson: "Why didn't Ralph attack when he was guarding you? Aren't you usually quite arrogant, but you missed the opportunity like this?"

Wilson also reacted. He was ashamed of his performance just now.

Sampson continued to play pick-and-roll with Thomas.

The rest of the Celtics basically didn't move, just watching the two of them play.

Ewing wanted to guard Sampson so much, but he never imagined that the opponent would score so easily in front of him.

Sampson randomly set up a pick-and-roll, stretched out, caught the ball outside the three-point line, and prepared to shoot, shaking Ewing up.

A nice defensive rotation by the Knicks allowed Wilson to switch in front of Sampson.

If Sampson passes the ball to Harper, it's a good opportunity.

But Harper's three-point shooting was terrible, so Sampson decided to shoot it himself.

He took a guard-like step back and then stopped for a jumper.

No matter how talented Wilson is, the difficulty of guarding against Sampson's jump shot is basically the same as guarding against a person on the second floor throwing the ball into the swimming pool through the window.

"Whoosh!"

8 to 3

"Ralph Sampson scored 8 points in the opening game!"

"Mr. One has taken all of Celtic's points so far!"

The Knicks' offense slowly shifted to the outside. Although Sampson's defensive area is large and his personal deterrence is strong, it is not without blind spots.

Since the Celtics need Sampson's aggressiveness, he and Ewing have similar problems.

He often spreads his defense too far outside and is unable to get back to the basket to protect it.

But this is not his defensive mistake, it is the inevitable result of the Celtics' defensive strategy.

Although there is Laimbeer under the basket, his threat to protect the basket is far worse than Sampson.

Ewing and Oakley can both shoot, so they pull outside, and the Celtics' inside line also has to stand outside.

Wilson then used the EuroBakdoor (backdoor) tactic to sneak into the basket and score.

5 to 8

The difficulty is not in scoring. No matter how strong Sampson's defense is, it can only be limited to certain areas. The difficulty is how to limit the Celtics' scoring.

Sampson was going crazy.

Thomas suddenly showed his fangs, pierced Hornacek's defense, went to the basket and scored on a throw.

The Celtics finally had their second man score.

10 to 5

Hornacek has too little experience and has never faced such a high-level opponent.

First, his personal defense was blown away, and then he made a risky pass that allowed Sampson to seize the loophole and intercept it in the middle.

Sampson stole the ball and dribbled the ball himself.

Hornacek heroically stood in his lane trying to draw an offensive foul.

The most horrifying scene also happened. Sampson used a European step to put aside Hornacek, collected the ball with his left hand and scored a dunk.

12 to 5

"Mr. One Rules the Game!"

Louis got up and walked to the technical table to call a timeout.

When Sampson ran back, he specifically asked Ewing: "I really want to ask you, how do you plan to get rid of me? I'm really curious."

Ewing has a tendency to be beaten by Sampson.

Sampson's remarks obviously angered Ewing, but his unfounded anger can only reflect his own incompetence.

Sampson currently has 10 points, 4 rebounds and 1 steal, while Ewing only has 3 points.

Both the data and performance are outstanding.

"The Knicks request a timeout!"

"Patrick, come down and rest." Louis couldn't sit back and watch Sampson shatter Ewing's self-esteem.

Ewing became confused: "I don't!"

"What?" Louis was stunned for a moment, anger began to accumulate on his face.

"I don't want to end! I want to keep fighting!" he said brazenly, "I can handle Ralph, just give me a few more minutes!"

"What the hell are you pretending to be with me? You can handle shit!" Louis roared rudely, "Am I being too gentle to you these days, or are you in your fucking rebellious phase? You can do it if I ask you to come down.

Get out of here, what the hell are you talking about? Didn’t John Thompson even teach you the basics of obeying orders and following orders?”

Ewing sat down in grief, anger and humiliation, and someone wanted to give him a towel.

He shouted: "Leave me alone!"

"John, Kevin Xiaosong." Louis unexpectedly substituted, "You replace Patrick, Jeff and Oak."

Zhao Yuanzheng translated Louis' words again to Song Tao.

He stood up in surprise.

"Listen, the tempo of the game is now in their hands, no matter how hard Ralph plays, our defense is hopeless, but our offense may not be unbeatable." Louis looked at McHale, "You better fix this fucking mess.

Pack it up for me!"

McHale said sheepishly: "I'll try my best to clean it up."

"QNMD!" Louis became angry when he saw this bastard. Originally, Sampson was not in this state. With those few words of greeting, everything changed, "If you can't deal with it, I will deal with you. You can watch it yourself."

manage!"

The referee came to urge him, and Louis called Song Tao before the start of the game and seriously warned: "No one believes you can guard No. 50. This is your advantage. If you perform poorly, no one will blame you. If

If you perform well, everyone will remember you."

"Is grandson really strong?" Song Tao asked.

"Not that strong," Louis laughed, "he's just the best center on earth."

Louis replaced Song Tao, focusing on attrition, and did not expect him to bring any surprises, because even Ewing, the Knicks' first strength inside, was exposed for the second time in his rebellious period. When Song Tao was left, he could only hope that the opponent would take this for granted.

I'm a newbie, so be gentle.

It was Ewing who said it was Ewing who wanted to deal with him. Now that everyone has gone down, it’s time to calm down, right? Every wrongdoer has his own debtor.

However, Ewing was down, but McHale was up.

The debt of "this is the best center in the league" has not been settled yet.
