The rest is just noise

In the eyes of Rudy Tomjanovich, Louis is a man who rarely gets emotional.

When he was angry with his teammates, no one wanted to see him angry.

When he gets angry, his mouth is as dirty as a New York sewer.

But, Louis was so happy that he cried? This is something I have never seen before.

He could probably understand Louis' emotion, but he didn't expect that this incident would touch him so much.

Louis seemed to have no strength to stand up from his position and sat there, reflecting on what he had done over the past four years.

The Celtics were a monster he indirectly created, and the Lakers in the Western Conference perished as a result. "The Tragedian" Johnson was on the sidelines tonight, watching with his own eyes as he killed the Celtics.

What was going through his mind? The Knicks' brutal style of play crushed the Celtics.

The Celtics fell in the most tragic way. Bird's back injury, Thomas' foot injury, and Ralph Sampson played all 46 minutes of the game. He couldn't stand firmly in the back.

"Do you really want a Coke?"

Tomjanovich asked.

"Let's drink later." Louis stood up.

The players on the field were still celebrating, but their opponents seemed lost and unwilling to accept the result.

Isiah Thomas broke down and Sampson hung his head in frustration.

K.C Jones greets Knicks players one by one.

When Louis saw K.C walking towards him, he felt guilty.

At the end of Game 4, Louis refused to shake K.C's hand.

After that, the Knicks went crazy, taking no serious shots and playing with this intensity until the last second of Game 7.

"Are you willing to shake my hand now?" K.C asked.

"Sorry, K.C. I'm really sorry." Louis took the initiative and stretched out his hand.

K.C saw his wet eyes, and even he couldn't believe that the Celtics would lose to the Knicks.

When Louis said the Knicks had a chance to beat the Celtics, everyone took it as a joke.

It was not until the Celtics led 3-1 that the mocking of Louis reached its peak.

Carrying this pressure, he did things that made the media even more dissatisfied, and then, just like having a grudge with the Celtics, the Knicks played a game with another intensity.

"I won't forgive you, Lu." K.C took Louis' hand and hugged him gently, "But I will congratulate you, kid."

It's different from last year.

When the Knicks lost to the Celtics last year, the two sides were able to shake hands and exchange blessings.

Now, the Celtics and Knicks only have coaching staffs to say hello to each other.

The players don't say hello, they really hate each other.

Magic, no, maybe we should call him The Tragedian. The Tragedian sat in the front row of the Garden, enduring the stench throughout the game. He couldn't understand why in 1988, the league still allowed this kind of arena to exist.

He has always believed that home court is the key reason why the Celtics are invincible in the playoffs, because no team can beat them here.

Dr. J's 76ers were not good, his Lakers were not good, and the Knicks were on the verge of collapse several times during the game.

But they persevered, ignoring the difficulties of the away game and facing the green ghosts surrounding the garden. At the last moment, they themselves turned into demons and used the blood of Celtic to make their way to the top.

That's what the Lakers have been lacking, and that's why they always lose to the Celtics.

What's frustrating for the Tragedian is that no matter how many times he's given the chance, he can't make this kind of game, he just can't.

Thomas burst into tears in front of the camera.

Losing this game, his greatness is still unquestionable, but his solo savior-like performance in the fourth quarter will be gradually forgotten. Just like the Nets lost the semifinals in 2021, then, no matter Durant is in

Tianwang Mountain is so unbelievable. In the tiebreaker, because of the growth of one inch of the sole of the foot, the victory turned into a draw. But if you lose, you lose.

In a few years, everyone will only remember that he lost, and the result is the only test.

This seems unfair to Thomas. There is no one more warrior than him. It seems that this may be one of his biggest problems. He cares too much about his honor, so he can't let go of the results, so he loses control emotionally.

.

"My teammates and I really played hard, and we really tried our best. We connected with our hearts, gave away our souls, and completely surrendered ourselves."

He couldn't accept this result.

"I look at Larry, I look at Ralph, I look at them doing great things, and I want to be one of them, we did great things, so I want to keep everything we worked for. I mean,

I've never been as big as Larry and Ralph, I'm not 'Larry Legend', I'm not 'Mr. One', I'm nothing, I'm just who I am, I'm Isiah Thomas, I just wanna

I'm going to make my mark in the league, just like Larry and Ralph."

He meant what he said, and Louis believed he meant it, but he was facing another team that couldn't be beaten.

They have the best defensive player (Ewing);

There is a rising young star (Wilson) who is willing to do the dirty work that the data cannot reflect;

There is Dale Ellis who did not give in when facing the strongest team in history and played the highest glory of his career;

And a group of players who deliver every night: Rodman, Stevens, Cooper, Hornacek, McHale, Oakley

"I am convinced that the glory of Old Nick continues in them." Willis Reed said proudly, "They have inherited the most valuable part of us."

There are still many doubts about the Knicks. Garden announcer Johnny Most called the Knicks a group of murderers. Heinsohn complained about the referees' physical convenience to the Knicks every day. Boston's support

The protesters threatened to carry out a terrorist attack as the Knicks bus left.

Supporters from the losing side found it difficult to accept this result.

Louis adjusted his emotions and took Wilson and Ellis to the press conference.

Reporters asked him invariably how he felt after experiencing counterattacks from 1:3 to 4:3.

"Time will tell you all the truth. Some things can only be understood when you really face them. It is not that important. For us, the Celtics are as insurmountable as mountains. We always are like this.

When looking up at the light of others, we forget that we are also a dazzling scenery.”

"I'm very glad that we finally discovered this and let the world see our light. Now, the torch has been handed over to us from Boston. We must make it shine very brightly and live up to the expectations of the people in the garden tonight."

All the blood and tears that fell."

"So, Coach Lu, do you have any thoughts on the Knicks' performance tonight?"

"As a coach, this is what you want to strive for." Louis said aptly, "This is what you hope to get in the game, the whole team is united as one, marching towards the same goal, and contributing wonderful performances.

Win the game."
