The rest is just noise

"The greatest King of New York ever!"

Putting such a big hat on Wilson's head was considered a compliment to him.

The older generation of Knicks players were speechless, not because they were convinced, but because they really had nothing to say.

Because it is about honors, Wilson's current achievements of two championships and MVP can rival any famous player in the history of the Knicks.

I just don’t know how Ewing feels, because when it comes to who is the greatest King of New York in history, he should be the best candidate at this stage.

2 championships, 4 All-NBA Teams, 4 All-Defensive Teams, 1 DPOY, 1 MVP, 2 FMVPs, the honor is much better than Wilson.

Fortunately, this discussion did not spread on a large scale, and the Knicks only regarded that statement as Marv Albert's personal opinion.

Due to CBS's schedule, the Knicks and Celtics had four days of offseason after playing the second game of the conference finals.

In the meantime, this year's NHL Stanley Cup Finals has come to an end...

The Edmonton Oilers defeated the Boston Bruins 4-1 to win their fifth Stanley Cup Final in seven years.

After sending away Wayne Gretzky, the Oilers are still very competitive.

The Bruins' defeat seems to contain ominous signs.

Maybe this is the cursed year for professional sports in Boston?

May 26th is the third game of the Eastern Conference Finals.

Before Louis left New York, he got up very early.

This is a habit he only developed this year. If he is going to an away game, he gets up early and leaves early.

This is done to save the time of saying goodbye, and also to avoid triggering the "Dad is going on a business trip" series of conversations.

Louis didn't expect that Lu Wuxia would get up earlier than him.

Louis saw Lu Wuxia getting up early to practice ball in his gym.

Lu Wuxia is obsessed with basketball. Is this a good thing?

If he has the talent to play professionally, that's certainly a good thing, but what if he doesn't?

Lu Wuxia is not yet 6 years old this year. From the perspective of a basketball coach, Louis can see some of his advantages, such as good basic skills, balanced left and right hands without any bias, excellent ball feel, and the handle, which he has obviously inherited.

My own father.

He is not yet 6 years old. It is certainly a good thing to have so many advantages, but if he wants to play professionally in the future, it will not be enough.

Because from a global perspective, there are always 100,000, not to mention 1 million, peers with the above advantages.

No matter how worried Louis was about his son, it was useless. He couldn't see the future and could only pray that this boy would have better athletic talents in the future.

Louis looked at it for a while, then quietly left.

Flying to Boston, local fans were still recovering from the Bruins' loss.

Moreover, the Celtics have a lot of trouble going on.

Ralph Sampson and Jimmie Rodgers' feud became public.

After losing Game 2, Jimmie Rodgers said: "We have Larry, Ralph, Isiah and many good players, but if only one person performs well, he will definitely not be able to defeat a strong enemy like the Knicks."

Rogers was implicitly saying that Sampson's personal offense was too much, leaving his teammates no room to play.

Sampson did not let Rogers lead the way.

He was interviewed privately and responded directly to the doubt: "The Knicks' Benjamin Wilson scored 48 points in the last game, and I scored 40 points and 17 rebounds. In the end, we only lost by 4 points. If I could have more

If we get 5 points, we will win. This is my shortcoming, but I don't think there is anything wrong with my performance and I will stick to the current style of play."

Keeping Isiah Thomas happy and team basketball is no longer a focus within the Celtics.

Their focus now is how to resolve the conflict between Sampson and Rogers.

Obviously, Rodgers was unwilling to regress, and Sampson felt that he was not wrong. When the Celtics were trailing 0-2, what could be worse than letting them go to meet the Knicks with these things?

Back at home, even though the Celtics have internal problems, winning is still their common wish.

In the old Boston Garden, the Celtics knew they could turn up the intensity and drag the Knicks into a quagmire of hand-to-hand combat.

In the first quarter, the Knicks' shooting percentage was not high, and the Celtics tried their best to counterattack. The most excited person was Sampson. After getting the ball in the high post, he desperately hit the Knicks' basket.

Attack.

As long as Sampson rushes up, even if all the Knicks players are on the court together, it will be difficult to guard him, because he has such good footwork, he can finish the offense with either hand, and he can also perform various European layups/dunks.

The monster is too difficult to guard against.

Valley/span>Fortunately, Louis saved a hand.

He knows that the Celtics' return to home will increase their defensive intensity. Therefore, the key to this game is not offense, but defense.

Whoever has better defensive resources will be able to persist until the end.

To deal with Sampson, Louis suspended Doug West and Brad Rohaus, and then replaced Ewing's partner with Shawn Kemp.

The instructions he gave Kemp were to help defend Sampson as a supplement and double-team Sampson as the main one. Once he was sure that he could not stop Sampson from attacking, he would foul decisively.

This is not only the instruction given to Kemp, but also to other people.

He asked the players to foul Sampson no matter the cost.

The consequence of this is that before the first half is over, especially just five minutes into the second quarter, the Celtics have already entered the Bonus moment. The Knicks have counted the number of fouls in a single quarter. Every foul after that,

The Celtics both had to take free throws.

In this quarter of the game, the Celtics got 16 free throws, Sampson made 12 and made 10 free throws.

Similarly, Louis did not give the Celtics much care when he shocked the referees Dick Bavetta, Joe Crawford, and Bernie Fryer. Bavetta was really scared.

Louis will not cause trouble if he can, and the other two referees will naturally follow the referee's rhythm, so it is easy for the Knicks to get free throws.

Louis allowed Kemp to leave the game with six fouls in 12 minutes, and then allowed Seley, Rodman, McHale and others to foul at will. They had enough manpower.

The Celtics can't spend as much as the Knicks.

At the end of the half, Bird committed a second foul, Sampson committed a third foul, Laimbeer committed a fourth foul, and Jim Peterson committed a third foul.

In the second half, Louis let Hornacek, Miller, Wilson, Rodman, and Sam Bowie.

The purpose of hiring Bowie is to strengthen the instigating ability inside. The Knicks will use the N.UCLA system to take a large number of mid-range and long-range shots.

Reggie Miller changed his shooting rhythm after receiving authorization from Louis.

No, perhaps it should be said that he freed up his shooting rhythm.

After the start of the third quarter, Miller scored two three-pointers in a row. Moreover, these two three-pointers were taken during the transition process and after serving the baseline ball to the outside line, before the Celtics defense was formed.

Miller is a twitchy shooter. When the touch comes, he can't stop him.

Louie may be a jerk and he thinks Miller is a supercharged Dale Ellis.

With Miller's three-pointers driving the rhythm, Wilson and Hornacek also proactively looked for three-point shooting opportunities. Of the six three-pointers hit by the Knicks in this quarter, at least four were forcibly created by players' subjective initiative.

Opportunity invested.

The Knicks players frightened the opponent's defense on the outside and comfortably opened up space for their teammates. The Celtics committed too many fouls and did not dare to take heavy blows against Rodman and Bowie's unscrupulous intrusions into the paint.

Louis' layout and consumption in the first half reaped the fruits in the third quarter.

The Celtics' defense fell into chaos. Then incredible scenes appeared: Sam Bowie, facing Sampson, dared to dribble directly to the inside for a dunk. Rodman even deliberately looked for Sampson.

When Sen was protecting the basket, he rushed in with the ball to find physical contact.

Sampson was afraid of fouls, so he held back on defense.

When Wilson committed Sampson's fourth foul, a heartbreaking scene occurred in the Garden late in the third quarter.

Bowie actually knocked Sampson flying from outside the three-point line, then passed by and went straight into the inside for a one-handed dunk; Sampson and Laimbeer were so eager to protect the board that they even grabbed it together, and everyone was stunned.

He didn't get any rebounds, so he got a free advantage from Rodman and gave him two points.

If Bird hadn't found his touch on the outside, the Celtics would have been defeated in the third quarter.

In the fourth quarter, Louis did not intend to leave Bostonians with any illusions.

Jimmie Rodgers replaced Isiah Thomas, who had played three consecutive quarters, to rest.

Louis is immediately replaced by a murder squad.

For some reason, the Celtics did not show fierce resistance in the face of murderous pressing. Sampson seemed tired and needed a rest.

But Rogers didn't let him rest, which seemed to be intentional.

Rodgers wanted Sampson to know that he could control the latter's playing time. After Sampson played continuously, his physical tank was empty. Coupled with the Knicks' murderous press, the Celtics needed Thomas more than ever.

.

Before Thomas left the game, the two sides were only 12 points apart.

In just 3 minutes, the 12-point deficit became 20 points.
