The rest is just noise

Yu Tiancan was elected the MVP of the New York High School 3A Basketball Championship, and the medal was awarded because of him.

Ewing also gave him a jersey.

This jersey was prepared by Louis, and Ewing signed his name on it.

Yu Tiancan said in a non-standard pronunciation, "I feel like I am the only person named Hu in the world."

He and Hu Weidong undoubtedly have a bright future.

When a tabloid reporter asked them if they would skip college to participate in the draft, Hu Weidong flatly denied: "No, we will go to college."

As for choosing a college, I haven’t decided yet.

Because Hu Weidong and Yu Tiancan have enough choices in front of them.

They have enough time to think about it before the college season starts in September, and Louis can also help out after the NBA season ends.

In order to celebrate their successful senior season, Louis invited the players from the first phase of the Road Academy in the United States to his home for dinner on May 28, and gave each of them a ticket to Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

Game 6 is a must-win game for the Knicks.

They have to win this game before they can think about Game7.

Bird decided not to play, and Ellis also obeyed Louis' arrangement and took a truce to prepare for Game 7.

For the Celtics, if they can end the series in Game 6, that would be the best result.

Because, if the fight reaches the tiebreaker, Bird may come back from injury, and then he will have to fight with his back against the wall.

For the Knicks, they have a reason to drag the series to Game 7.

Bird's injury has had a huge impact, and winning Game 6 is a must. By the time he reaches Game 7, as long as he is not too injured to play the game, Bird will definitely come back from injury like those great players in the history of the Celtics.

By then, the Celtics' roster will be complete, if not complete.

If they can defeat this team in the tiebreaker, then the Celtics will be completely defeated by them.

This is important. Even if the defeated Celtics can console themselves with the reason that Bird is injured, they were defeated with the full personnel.

If they insist on comforting themselves with injuries, then the Knicks can also say that injuries are part of the game.

The place where Game 6 is played may be the Knicks' last home court this season.

There was seriousness on everyone's faces.

The two sides highlighted a tit-for-tat confrontation.

The Knicks are Stockton, Hornacek, Wilson, Rodman, and Ewing.

The Celtics are Thomas, Ainge, Harper, Laimbeer, and Sampson.

One side will try every means to increase its offensive firepower, while the other side will use suffocating defense to push its opponent into a desperate situation.

Louis said before the game: "Restricting Ralph is our only goal. I am willing to try various matchups. You may even see Dennis guarding him."

Louis didn't talk nonsense, he really did it. At the beginning of tonight's game, he asked Rodman to face Sampson.

Rodman's advantages are his terrifying ability to continuously take off, extraordinary motor skills, tormenting habits, full of courage, and no fear of any opponent.

Against Sampson, there is definitely no hope in frontal defense. Rodman's method is to harass from the flanks, entangle him in close quarters, and suppress his lower limbs in the low post. The rest depends on his teammates. Louis will not really hand over Sampson completely.

Leave Rodman alone, and if Sampson attacks in the low post, Ewing's double team and help defense are always waiting.

Strict discipline and consistent pace.

This is the Knicks defense.

The Knicks defended the Celtics' offense time and time again, which prompted their home announcer Marv Albert to say: "Many people will only use the idea of ​​​​conniving referees to explain why the Knicks' defense is the best in the league.

, no one wants to explore the secrets."

"They don't want to believe that the Knicks are the most disciplined team in the league."

Just like Billy Cunningham and others who don't believe that Louis is the best coach in the league.

When people praise the famous generals in the cold weapon era, they always like to exaggerate their strategies, but ignore their ability to run the army. Don't forget, the strong as Wuhou received the evaluation that "it is better to govern the army" and cannot lead an army.

With a good team, no matter how many strategies you use, it will be in vain, and the so-called way of running an army can only be achieved through strictness.

Louis used a pocket formation to deal with Sampson, applying pressure on the strong side and rotating on the weak side. It sounds simple, but it is really done, but it relies heavily on the players' enthusiasm and awareness of filling positions.

Compared with other teams that the Celtics have encountered, the Knicks do have an advantage in terms of personnel configuration. In terms of confrontation, size and speed at positions 2 to 5, they will not suffer against Birdland Bill Harper.

Like the Lakers, who put the old Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in Sampson's mouth every year for four consecutive years, there is no chance.

When Sampson chose to attack facing the basket and hit a climax to give the Celtics the lead, Louis called a timeout in time.

A little more measure has been added. When Sampson is holding the ball and attacking, no matter who is defending him, someone must be behind him to help defend and protect him. Mr. Only cannot be allowed to hold the ball and attack.

This is still a continuation of the established strategy.

Sampson's method is to use his ball-handling attack to open up the situation and distribute the ball to teammates on the weak side.

The same situation happened too many times in the Knicks-Celtics series.

When the Knicks double-team Sampson on the strong side, Wilson and Hornacek will be on the weak side.

These two have enough speed and agility to rotate.

Sampson's single-point explosion and distribution from the outside are theoretically similar to James' one-star shooting, which presents a cruel multiple-choice question. Either you let him eat one-on-one, or double-team him and let him salute.

I would like to send you three loud bangs to wish you a happy birthday.

Louis used his regular lineup to fight against the Celtics for most of the quarter, 18 to 20.

Sampson's explosion and Thomas' performance gave the Celtics a 2-point lead.

Afterwards, Louis replaced Stockton, who was replaced by Michael Cooper. The defensive staff increased, and the rotation efficiency increased again. In addition to ensuring that the ball holder was not left open, it also increased the threat to the ball.

This is exactly the chain reaction of the Knicks' suffocating defense.

As long as the players stick to Louis' arrangements and work hard to find people to defend, then something unexpected will always happen.

Using double teams and help defense to force Sampson to pass the ball will give him the opportunity to intercept the pass. Wilson Cooper's rotation forces the shooters to pass the ball again.

As long as the number of passes increases, the Celtics' probability of making mistakes will also increase, and they will find ways to let Laimbeer, who has the lowest three-point shooting percentage among the Celtics, take shots (only in the Eastern Conference Finals).

It's better to let him take a three-point shot than to let Ainge take one, because the probability of not scoring is slightly higher.

Thomas's offense is mainly based on using pick-and-rolls to find small and large mismatches. His long-range shooting threat has never been high. Over the years, he has not devoted himself to improving his shortcomings, leaving such a big hidden danger in his technical links.

, is something Louis can’t understand.

It is for this reason that when arranging to defend Thomas, Louis always uses tricks. Whether it is passing the front defense to catch the ball or picking and rolling around the screen, he tries to delay the time for Thomas to break through with the ball as much as possible, and then uses help defense and rotation.

By delaying time, the less time the Celtics have for the final finish, the less room they have to make a choice.

Appropriate staffing, correct defensive strategy, and perfect execution.

The Knicks had everything they needed to beat the Celtics, so they did it.

At halftime, the Knicks led by 12 points.

Before Sampson and Thomas took the break, the Celtics were only 6 points behind.

In less than 3 minutes, it turned into this.

K.C Jones has nothing to do, he must let these two people get sufficient rest time, the Celtics can no longer bear the cost of any of them being injured.

If someone gets injured again, even if they can defeat the Knicks, they will most likely not be able to match the strong Trail Blazers in the finals (they have already eliminated the Lakers 4-1).

In the second half, the Knicks' buzzer-beater came as scheduled.

Murder Press will only be late, never absent.

Louis also deliberately played a trick and played a low-intensity game with the Celtics for two minutes, making them think that the Knicks were proud and complacent and would no longer increase the intensity.

Just when the Celtics' two giants chased the point difference to 7 points, suddenly, Louis replaced Hornacek, Stevens, Cooper, Wilson, and Rodman.

The continuous collision forced Thomas to commit 6 fouls on the Knicks.

Those fouls were not obtained by his subjective will.

The Knicks' murderous press team regarded him as a key player. Everyone was hitting him, making small moves, and attacking his body. The one who did it the most was Rodman.

When Thomas was going for a layup, he pushed Thomas from behind towards the basket, almost causing Thomas' head to bleed.

Laimbeer tried to respond, but in this case, if he was ruthless, the Knicks would only be more ruthless than him.

The Knicks are no longer the team that gets bullied but can't respond positively.

Thanks to Ranbir, this group of people became real villains. The shame that Ranbir brought to them, and Louis's "teaching by words and deeds" made Nicks realize that it is better to bully others than to be bullied.

Starting with McHale's clothesline, the Knicks became what Heinsohn called the "Blue Devils."

Louis really wishes he had the right to change the name of the team. The New York Blue Devils are awesome, aren't they?

At the end of the Knicks' murderous press, the Celtics trailed by 16 points.

Without Bird, the Celtics seem to lack the ferocity to fight their opponents to the end.

Bird is Sampson's fuel and Thomas' beacon. Without him, the Celtics have truly become different.

Louis carried out a surgically rigorous design on the defensive end. On the other hand, the Celtics had almost no special arrangements and they could not guard against the Knicks' offense.

K.C. Jones's strategy, if you look closely, relies on superstars to play. It has no focus, doesn't know how to flank, and single defense is not targeted.

In the fourth quarter, they relied on shooters and saw no hope.

114 to 101

There is only one reason why the Celtics did not lose by 15 points. Sampson played 45 minutes and did not rest for a second in the second half. He scored 39 points, 19 rebounds, 4 assists and 4 blocks. He tried his best.

The result was dismal. The Knicks won two games in a row, successfully dragging the suspense of the series to Game 7.

The chapters of "The Remaining, Only Noise" will continue to be updated.
