The rest is just noise

Chapter 483: I promise to punch him so hard that he can’t even cry out “Mom”

Murdering the press, a tactical system created to deal with the Celtics, has become a fearsome term.

Stevens provided the inspiration, and Louis spent two years putting together a complete team.

The Celtics, who have Isiah Thomas, are struggling without getting many body hair whistles.

In the first five minutes of the second half, the Knicks went on a 20-10 offensive spree. For some, this gap was disappointing.

The Celtics didn't give up.

They fought hard to catch up in the fourth quarter, but Louis would choose a key point every time to murder the press.

Tonight, in the 48-minute game, the Knicks used a murderous press for 20 minutes.

It was these 20 minutes that allowed the Knicks to seal the victory.

The most interesting thing is that Miller never shut up during this period. He was in very good condition. He could make any number of long-range shots and was the Knicks' scoring leader tonight.

He used a 35-point output to once again prove Louis' excellent vision.

A player who looks thin and can only shoot but seems unable to achieve greatness is a rare gem.

Even more rare is the story between him and Bird.

That was in the fourth quarter, and the Celtics didn't give up just because they were behind.

They worked hard to chase points and played very tenaciously.

Bird is the focal point of the Knicks. As long as we can limit his performance, we can do anything.

Tonight, Bird got to the free throw line 19 times.

On the 14th time, Bird received a pass from the referee. His previous free throw shooting was average. He made 8 of 13 free throws, which shows how much impact the Knicks' confrontation had.

Miller relied on this to deliberately talk trash to disturb Bird.

"Larry, Larry, if you can't make the free throw, your teammates will be disappointed, right?"

"Are you making this expression because you want to beat me up? It's so scary, Larry!"

"But I will never be like you. I will only put the ball in the basket and not listen to the nonsense from people around me..." Miller thought he was very smart.

Bird threw the ball into the basket with a grim expression.

When Miller expressed surprise, Bird said coldly: "I'm the number one fucking pitcher in the world, and you actually want to interfere with me by talking trash?"

Miraculously, Bird never missed a free throw since then, while Miller's condition took a sharp turn and he only scored one three-pointer in the rest of the game.

It has to be said that the aura of a superstar will indeed affect the performance of others in the game.

Miller's courage to start a film with the league's first player was something Louis admired.

In the end, the Celtics' pursuit of points was unsuccessful.

118 to 109

The two sides ended the game with a 9-point difference, and the Knicks won the first matchup with the Celtics in the new season.

This game is a continuation of Game 6 of last season's Eastern Conference Finals.

The Knicks are still improving and growing, while the Celtics are still sitting on the throne looking down at all living beings.

"If there is any team in this league that can shake Boston's dominance, then I think the Knicks are the only answer."

Tom Heinsohn has always admired the Knicks, but he will always favor the Celtics in games.

But off the court, he recognized the Knicks' strength.

When Louis was communicating with the old guys in Boston, he saw that they were not very interested.

This is normal. The Knicks and Celtics play with the intention of killing each other during the game. You can't say hello, me, and everyone after the game.

"The next game won't be that simple." Bird said reluctantly.

Louis smiled and said: "Next time, more people will double-team you."

"It's really your fault!"

"Do you actually think that our double-teaming was not ordered by me? Oh my god, I am so disappointed. In your eyes, our Knicks are a team with poor discipline and the players' will overrides the coaching staff.

." Louis shook his head and expressed dissatisfaction with Bird's view.

Bird denied: "I never thought about it that way. I mean, I just suspected it before, but now I am sure. This is your special arrangement for me, not your regular operation. I will remember today

You will never succeed in this game again."

"Of course, apart from pressing full court, I will not use the same method on you more than twice." Louis then asked, "By the way, how is your back?"

Bird was stunned for a moment.

He was a bit sensitive and cautious, "Everything is fine."

"That's good." Louis said, "I hope you can persist a little longer and maintain your condition. You are the best Celtic when you are in full condition.

Bird asked: "Wouldn't this increase your difficulties?"

"Yes, but who told me to like walking the hardest road so much?"

Is New York's little Adu kidding you?

Bird smiled. What Louis said was a joke, but if you look at his resume, you will know that it is not empty talk.

The path he has chosen has always been the most difficult one.

In 1977, he chose to drop out of school and give up being a carefree college student to join the shaky professional basketball industry. He started as a low-level scout and became the head coach of the Celtics within six years. After the Celtics won the championship, in order to take more initiative

Quan left a team that could have brought him countless glory.

Everyone knows that the Celtics still won four consecutive championships after Louis left, which seems to mean that no matter who becomes the Celtics head coach.

After all, the hard power is there, no matter what you do, it won't be too bad.

This idea is understandable, but few people have explored why Louis left and why he chose the Knicks.

Bird remains dissatisfied with Louis' choice to this day.

"The end of your road is a dead end," Bird said. "It's not going to end well."

Louis waved his hand and said, "I don't have to worry about it anymore."

Louis came to the sidelines and said a few words to Lorraine and Hu Weidong.

Yu Tiancan was very excited: "I have never seen such a good game. The principal's team is great!"

Although this fool meant to compliment Louis, he definitely meant it sincerely.

Louis is the head coach on the court and their principal off the court, so now he needs to act like a principal and let them go home honestly and not think too much.

Louis arranged for someone to take them back, and then walked to the players' tunnel.

This was an exciting victory. Within the Knicks, the fact that Miller provoked Bird and was sanctioned was a joke.

"Since you like to provoke others, you should have known that sooner or later such a day would come. I'm not surprised at all." Oakley laughed.

Miller felt guilty after being sanctioned by Bird on the court. After he came off the court, he regained his senses. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He kept spouting curse words and couldn't stop them.

"That fucking birdman, I will definitely settle the accounts with him next time I see him. Just fucking laugh, huh!" He deliberately acted tough, which made everyone laugh even more happily.

Louis met Knicks operations staff outside the locker room.

The other party's name was Chris Gibbs, and he was informed of the league's latest regulations.

In addition to the coaches who have to select a few players to attend the press conference, other players also have to go to the media room in order to be interviewed by reporters.

A typical Stern policy, he hopes that NBA players, regardless of whether they are stars or role players, can enjoy the spotlight and become stars in the eyes of ordinary people.

This rule was not abolished until the Adam Silver era, but very few teams seriously implemented the rule because there were really not that many reporters who wanted to interview role players.

Therefore, even if some teams do not implement the regulations in accordance with the regulations, nothing will happen. Most teams will ask the players what they think. If they want to be interviewed, then go for the interview. If they don’t want to, or are self-aware, they feel that the reporter

If you're not interested in it, then you don't have to go.

Almost everyone on the Knicks is interviewed.

Even Song Tao, there are reporters who want to interview him.

Therefore, every time the Knicks are interviewed, they are in groups of three. Louis requires that any player who wants to be interviewed must not be a big name, and who should be who should be interviewed, regardless of the order.

Louis still remembers the time when LeBron James was video blackmailed by Chinese reporters because he liked to stage things.

Rodman sneaked around and tried to leave secretly with his female assistant.

Louis grabbed Rodman's clothes: "Where are you going?"

"Coach...I...I want to relax for a while." Rodman laughed dryly.

His matter was no secret in the locker room. Seeing his awkward look in front of Louis, everyone laughed happily.

"Don't be so nervous. I can't eat people. Now that the game is over, I don't care what you do outside. I just want to tell you, don't forget Dell's lesson." Louis warned, "You can play.

, don’t overdo it.”

Rodman kept saying yes.

"Coach, no wonder Dennis calls you daddy in private. You really care about him more than his father." McHale joked.

Louis didn't expect that Rodman had done such a thing in private.

He said with a smile: "Next time he calls me daddy in private, please help me teach him a lesson."

Oakley said obligingly: "Don't worry, coach, I promise to punch him so hard that he won't even be able to scream mom!"
