The rest is just noise

The Knicks' strength was reflected in every aspect of this game.

Their tactical system is the same as that of the Jazz. The difference is that the Jazz just copied UCLA's routine, while the Knicks made innovations.

Otherwise, Louis would not have been named "N.UCLA".

The Jazz's resistance was fierce, and Alvin Robertson's defense was outstanding.

Even if the offense cannot be opened up, as long as they focus on perimeter defense and Eaton's rim protection, the Jazz are sure to play oppressive defense at both internal and external points.

It's just that Eaton can't come out to delay the Knicks' shooters, so as long as the Knicks are willing, they can always find opportunities with a positional offense based on exhange sunky (high-post dynamic offense).

In the whole game, the Knicks beat their potential rival Utah Jazz by 20 points 119 to 99.

"Coach Lu, what do you think is the winning factor tonight?"

Louis laughed: "Patrick's 11 hotpots."

Ewing's defense has been crazy lately.

He has blocked double figures in two games so far this season. Not only did he block double figures tonight, he also contributed four consecutive blocks in one round that can be recorded in his career highlights.

Today, Ewing averages just over 30 minutes per game and blocks 4.2 shots per game.

Even if Louis didn't check it, he can be sure that Ewing's block rate is the first in history.

With this defensive value that is off the paper, if it can continue until the end of the season, no one can compete with him for DPOY, not even Sampson, who is praised by the media.

In fact, looking at defense alone, Ewing was no worse than Sampson last season.

But the media is like this. Although they like the new and hate the old, they are particularly tolerant of the powerful old people. Unless the new people can show an overwhelming advantage, they will vote for the old when they vote.:.

Louis praised Ewing to the sky outside, but when he returned to the locker room, he complained repeatedly to Ewing: "You think 11 blocks are amazing? If you can, just prevent the opponent from scoring in the paint for the whole game, okay?

you?"

"See you next time!"

Louis' aggressive tactics against Ewing never failed.

Ewing is really easily led, which is the mediocre side of his nature.

It can be said that in this regard, he is a "rabble" and has no determination.

"Okay, I'd like to see how you let Ralph Sampson score 0 points in the penalty area."

Ewing was confused when he heard Sampson's name.

Not letting Sampson score in the paint? Is that possible?

It's almost impossible.

But it's not impossible. The pocket formation can reduce the opponent's impact on the basket, and the release of shots allows players like Sampson, who can fire from any position, to choose to shoot more.

Before the Christmas game, the Knicks' record looked terrible.

Currently 23 wins and 1 loss.

With Bird unable to play, the Celtics ranked third in the Eastern Conference with a record of 15 wins and 8 losses.

Laughing at Ewing was one of Louis' pleasures, but he also wanted to see if he could defend Sampson into the penalty area and score.

As a result, they got away with it.

The Knicks' strategy is as follows: The pocket formation blocks the paint area. This is the basic routine. Ewing's sweep is limited to the paint area. If Sampson gets the ball outside the paint area, ignore him, give up the offensive rebound, and retreat at full speed after taking the shot.

Defense, this is to avoid being beaten by the Celtics into a counterattack.

In order for Sampson to score in the penalty area, it must be a real goal. You can't wait for Sampson to make a counterattack dunk, and then say that counterattack cannot be counted as prevarication.

If you want to do it, get a big one.

The strategy designed by Louis is based on the premise that Sampson's shooting is invincible.

However, on Christmas night, even Isiah Thomas, a dysfunctional patient from behind the three-point line, thrived, scoring a three-pointer in each half, and Sampson showed off his prowess.

As a center, he made 4 of 5 three-pointers in the game, causing tears in the Boston Garden.

Not to mention Ewing, Louis was a little disgusted by it.

Sampson tonight was like a black version of Porzingis, defeating the Knicks by just shooting.

He rarely scored in the penalty area, but he scored 54 points, 17 rebounds, 5 assists and 5 blocks. With his god-level shooting performance, the Knicks suffered their second defeat of the season.

"Don't call him Mr. Only, he is Superman!" Louis praised, "There will never be another inside player as comprehensive as him."

The people of Boston have long had a love-hate relationship with Louis, but tonight he praised Sampson so well that they accepted it.

Still, they weren't going to call Sampson Superman like Louie did. Mr. One was the perfect fit for him.

Throughout the ages, there has been only one insider for this style of play.

Sampson has three forms, the traditional inside form (Duncan), the tall and thin long-range shooting king form (Porzingis), and the unicorn form, which is himself.

What's rare is that he can switch between these three forms at will. No matter what opponent he encounters, there is always one that suits him.

Three different playing styles reduced the wear and tear on his body, so he became the biggest anomaly in the history of basketball. A two-meter-two monster who should have been flying in the sky to play ball, but had such comprehensive talents that he did not need to use his body.

skills.

In addition, he practiced yoga through Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, which increased his body's flexibility and further reduced the possibility of injury.

Boston is right, Mr. One is the most suitable nickname for Sampson.

Unprecedented and unique⑴.

Sampson played another classic game against the Knicks.

Bostonians said it was an insult to both of them to compare Ewing to their only husband.

Louis disagreed, telling the Globe: "Ralph is a combination of Wilt and Kareem, and Patrick has the same DNA as Russell. He may not be the ultimate player like Ralph, but in

In my eyes, he is also a 'generational genius', a person who is greatly underestimated."

"Generation genius" is a concept proposed by American sports critics.

The best players of a generation are the so-called "generational geniuses", such as Koshark in the 2000s and Giankudu in the 10s.

The media had no time to appreciate the meaning of "a generation of genius", and Louis' words triggered a fierce debate.

Wilt Chamberlain, who was involved, said unconvinced: "Ralph is the combination of me and Kareem? This is ridiculous. Although Kareem is not a good person, he has some strength. People nowadays treat him badly."

Lack of respect, they have never seen Kareem in his prime, let alone me. When did Ralph score 100 points, and how many 50-point games did he have? Do you want to remind you that I had a season where every game

Score 50 points in every game?”

Chamberlain expressed dissatisfaction, but what about Kareem Abdul-Jabbar?

He is much more magnanimous and free-spirited, because he was completely beaten several times by Sampson in the finals.

"Basketball is not that interesting to me, and I was surprised that I was able to play for so many years." When Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's retirement tour came to Boston, he also gave an answer to this matter. "But, seeing Ralph,

I suddenly felt that if I could enter the league ten years later, maybe there would be a very fierce competition between us, which would be a big deal. Larry has Moji, and I have never had a real competitor."

Those who think that Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is lamenting, "I am already old because of you" are only on the first floor. In fact, these words are mocking Chamberlain.

During the Kareem Abdul-Jabbar era, the Bucks were a Western Conference team and had fierce battles with the Lakers every year. Due to their different political stances and three views, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar had a public break with Chamberlain as early as college, and they even met in the NBA for the first time.

During the fight, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar actually didn't even look at Chamberlain. This broke Lao Zhang's heart. From then on, he would fight with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and claimed that the reason why Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was able to fight for so many years was because the opponent played against him.

He played at full gear most of the time, which severely damaged his energy, so he played at half gear for the rest of the years.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's remarks triggered a new round of accusations from Chamberlain that "Jabbar has no heart."

Louis, who has the rhythm, has long been out of the way.

In fact, even Louis himself didn't expect to bring out the rhythm. He just used an analogy, and Lao Zhang was not happy.

He and Chamberlain have no interaction, so it is not convenient to say more about this matter. Since he and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar are at each other's throats, he should retire and pretend that nothing happened.

Although they lost to the Celtics and allowed Sampson to play a classic channel-level game, they successfully restricted Sampson from scoring in the penalty area. Therefore, although they lost, they also won.

Two days later, against the Chicago Bulls, the Knicks vented their anger over the loss.

Ewing had an astonishing 9 blocks and had 27 points and 13 rebounds.

They achieved an achievement that is underestimated.

For the first time in his career, Barkley shot below 30% in the restricted area.

Unfortunately, no one paid much attention when it happened. Only the Knicks' coaching staff knew how amazing it was. Eight of Ewing's nine caps were awarded to Barkley.

"You're just bullying that damn fat guy Barkley. If you can, you can build a bigger one!"

Louie's words determined the fate of the Knicks' opponents in the final game of 1988.

In the year-end battle, they met the new Charlotte Hornets.

This is their first meeting this season.

Before the game, Dale Ellis received his championship ring from Louis' hand, and MSG's shocking applause and cheers proved how much the fans loved him.

Ellis has reached the peak of his career with the Hornets, currently averaging 25 points per game, and his firepower is fully unleashed.

As a result, Ewing targeted Hornets center Dave Hoppen with the purpose of covering the big man. As a spiritual white center, his peak period was in high school and he played well in college.

But he only fell to the third round when he participated in the draft. Now, he is the center of the Hornets, but he has become the backdrop for Ewing's rampage night.

Today, Ewing did almost nothing but stared at the big men headed by Hoben to block shots.

As a result, his score was in single digits, with 14 rebounds and a sensational 13 big hits.

Within a month, he blocked double figures three times, including 22 big blocks in two games.

Even if Ellis scored 30 points on 50% shooting, his team would still be slaughtered.

Ewing's brutal shot-blocking performance shocked the American basketball world.

Counting Ewing's performance in December alone, his per game averages were an astonishing 23 points, 14 rebounds, 4 assists, and 5.4 blocks.

"Everyone is raving about Mario Lemieux's performance last night, but I have to tell you that an even greater performance happened the night before.

Patrick Ewing blocked 13 shots that night, which was the third time since the beginning of December that he had blocked double figures in a single game. This is a myth, and it is a myth that continues to happen." Zeller

⑴The healthy young version of Sabonis (I haven’t seen it) and the completely healthy version of Porzingis. If you want to find a template for Sampson in the book, these two people may be more suitable. But they only partially resemble each other.

.I must remind everyone that Sampson is not so good in reality. In order to increase the impact of Louis' transformation on him, I imagined all aspects of his evolution as the most ideal and perfect state. He can transform his body

We have only seen a few players who have the most perfect combination of talent and skill. For me personally, the best example is Jordan.

⑵Mario Lemieux is an NHL Hall of Fame player. He scored 5 goals and 3 assists against the New Jersey Devils on December 31, 1988. Five goals in a single game is not unusual compared to the history of the NHL (roughly equivalent to the small ball era).

50 points in a single game in the NBA before), what is strange is the way of scoring. Five goals were completed in five different ways, plus 3 assists, scoring 8 points. So it is a mythical game. For you
