The rest is just noise

The chain reactions triggered by the fight are almost always detrimental to the Knicks.

Players' mentality fluctuated, referees tightened their standards, and Ewing committed too many fouls.

Some unexpected points affected the entire game.

109 to 100

The Knicks fought hard for four quarters, as if they were being held in the water with their hands.

Celtic finally choked them to death

Laimbeer is undoubtedly their hidden MVP. The attack on Wilson in the opening and the assassination of Cooper in the second quarter, which led to conflicts between the two sides, were all operations that changed the course of the game.

At the end of the game, Laimbeer came to Louis and laughed: "Coach, your people are too weak. You can't beat us with this ability alone."

Louis admitted they were immature in their response to Laimbeer's outburst tonight.

As for saying that these people are weak? Louis laughed and said: "Don't act as if you have already won the Eastern Conference Finals. This is just the first game. If we continue like this, I can't say who will lose and who will win, but you will definitely enter."

Hospital."

"Is this a threat, Coach?"

"No, this is advice." After Louis finished speaking, he walked towards K.C. Jones.

Although Jones is a Triple Crown coach, he coaches in the shadow of Auerbach and Louis.

Coaches of other teams have the right to make suggestions on recruitment and make decisions on draft selections, but he does not. All he has is the right to command during the season. If the command makes a mistake, he will be fired in minutes.

The credit for the signings all belongs to Auerbach, and the team's system can be traced back to Louis.

K.C is like picking something off the shelf, his professionalism and achievements are not respected.

This is why he is very focused every time he plays against the Knicks, and all arrangements are well balanced.

He really wants to prove himself to everyone in front of Louis.

"K.C, I just have one question." Louis asked, "Did you instigate these things that the vicious dog did?"

What Louis wants to know is whether Ranbir's behavior was instigated by others or whether he acted on the spot.

K.C smiled bitterly and said: "Lu, you should know that guy better than me. How can I possibly control him?"

"In other words, it's all that guy's own decision?"

"Yes."

Louis patted K.C on the back and said, "Tell that vicious dog that I can't spare him!"

"I will definitely help you bring the message."

After several years of confrontation, media exaggeration and fan drama, the relationship between the Knicks and Celtics has been shaped into a regional rivalry between New England and the Atlantic.

This kind of external rendering makes players enemies.

But the relationship between Louis and K.C Jones has not been affected. In any case, K.C is Louis' professional basketball guide.

Tom Heinsohn was happy to see Louie talking and laughing with his former colleagues: "Many people thought that Boston had broken off with little Luann, but that was just the wishful thinking of the fans and the media. To this day, Louie and the Celtics

The coaching staff and management still maintain a good relationship."

"This kind of relationship is not necessarily healthy. You have to do your job in your position. If you are no longer in that position, you should look forward to it, otherwise it will affect your work. Just like Russell and Wilt, under normal circumstances, Wilt can tear each other apart.

It broke Russell, but Russell had such a good relationship with Wilt privately that even his mother was a fan of Wilt, which affected Wilt's performance when facing Russell."

Billy Cunningham was in a good mood when he saw the Knicks losing, and it was his habit to step on Louis.

"Haha, it's not surprising that guys who can't distinguish between work and personal relationships can't win the game, but Louis and K.C are not such people. They achieve each other, and they are also willing to use high-level confrontation to achieve each other."

Heinsohn stopped the conversation that was about to be led away by Cunningham.

Seeing the Knicks lose makes Cunningham satisfied. Heinsohn can say whatever he wants, he doesn't care.

Louis was interviewed by reporters at the scene, and then returned to the locker room and asked Ewing to go with him to the scene for an interview.

Before meeting reporters, Louis said a few points about Ewing's foul issue tonight.

During the regular season, the Knicks' lineup depth and Ewing's own stable performance masked the biggest problem with their lineup.

Personnel reserves at the center position.

Louis, who came from modern times, knew that he could not become a winner in this era just by relying on advanced ideas. But he was still affected when he matched the lineup.

Subconsciously, after having Ewing, he thought that the center position was not a worry. Instead of stocking up on players at this position, it would be better to stock up on wings to play murderous press.

So the Knicks' backup centers are Song Tao and Brad Rohaus.

Louis overlooked one point. If Ewing is beaten by Sampson, or if there are too many fouls like tonight, who will the Knicks have to guard Sampson and protect the rim?

"It's my fault. I shouldn't have defended so aggressively when I had two fouls."

Ewing admitted his mistakes, and Louis also admitted his mistakes, but Ewing's mistakes can still be made up for. If he wants to correct his mistakes, he will have to wait until the offseason.

"As long as you know."

They went to meet the reporter together and said some innocuous words.

Louis is in the spotlight.

"Coach Lu, you said you are not here to play. You have a chance to beat the Celtics. What are your thoughts now?"

"Coach Lu, some people have always said that the Knicks' full-court press was because of the referee's deliberate indulgence that made your defense so powerful. Is this the reason why you almost gave up the full-court press tonight?"

"Coach Lu..."

Boston reporters challenged Louis to a group meeting.

Strangely, Louis had only two answers.

For example, people asked him if he still had the confidence to beat the Celtics.

His response: "Yes, we do."

Then, people questioned whether the Knicks' murderous press relied on referees.

His response: "No, that's a bad question."

Suddenly, the humorous Louis turned into Ewing, a cold and boring leper who couldn't take a joke and wouldn't even give you a smile.

The Boston Herald sarcastically joked in its headline the next day: "The greatest achievement the Celtics have ever done was not winning four consecutive championships in the 1980s, but always putting a smile on their face.

The little dew on his face turned into Kareem Jabbar."

The next day, Louis took the Herald newspaper and angrily cursed: "These pigs with shit brains! Say I look like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar? Isn't this a curse!?"

Tomjanovich consoled him: "Calm down, Kareem is the NBA's historical scoring leader after all."

"Fuck the scoring champion!"

After the magician turned into a tragedy, the championships that Kareem Abdul-Jabbar deserved were also reduced from the original six to four. However, he is still one of the top ten players in history, but he is not able to consistently rank among the top four in history like in another timeline.

The number one center in history.
