The rest is just noise

Ralph Sampson was called "Mr. One" by Johnny Most because of his unique playing style and size, because "there are only two kinds of players, one is Ralph and the other is other".

Now, Dick Stockton borrows this sentence to take the Knicks-Celtics showdown to the extreme: "There are only two playoffs in history, one is the Knicks-Celtics showdown.

, the other is something else.”

In the first half, in order to train Sean Kemp, Louis did not take advantage of the 12-point advantage to expand the lead.

The Celtics seized the opportunity and at the end of the first half, the two sides tied 64 to 63.

The Knicks still lead by 1 point.

"I promise the fans that we will bring the game back to the Garden." Chris Ford said confidently, "I'm not talking about Boston Garden, I'm talking about Madison Garden."

If we take it literally, Ford said this because he wanted to drag the series to a tiebreaker...

This is a situation that Louis absolutely cannot accept.

At the beginning of the second half, the murderous pressing team composed of Wilson, Stevens, Rodman, Salley, and Reggie Williams gave the Celtics a powerful blow.

"Leder L is a guy who doesn't play by the rules." Dick Stockton could only say this, otherwise he couldn't explain why he used a full-court press at the beginning of the third quarter.

Generally, the Knicks' full-court press waits until the game has started for a while, when everyone is tired, and then suddenly uses it to achieve miraculous results.

But Louis' approach was different.

He asked the players to press the whole court from the beginning of the third quarter, which was not a good time.

At this time, the two sides had just gone through the halftime timeout and took a good rest. Moreover, the Celtics' main players were all there. Now it was a thankless task to press them full court.

Wilson didn't play much in the second quarter, and Louis intentionally kept him until the second half.

In terms of his physical ability, he does not need to be so carefully protected, but Louis is a bit sensitive due to Bowie's injury. If the momentum is good in the second quarter, he will not be in a hurry to replace Wilson.

Just enough for him to devote himself fully to both offense and defense in the second half.

After several seasons of experience, Wilson has developed from a transfer member of the murder press team to a squad leader.

He leads the Murderous Press.

On the contrary, Ewing, who used to work with him in the Murder Press Team, has basically stopped patronizing this team that does nothing but dirty work.

The murder press came out, and Wilson took the lead, guarding Isiah Thomas.

Because Thomas was so narrow-minded that he froze Wilson, the latter still has a bad look on the former.

After a round of intense physical contact, Thomas sped up.

Wilson's defense has taken a noticeable toll on him.

The evidence is that his breakthrough line was forced to change from his right hand to his left hand.

Because Wilson adopted a defensive strategy of guarding the right and putting the left behind, forcing Thomas to go left. As long as he went this way, his speed would not be the fastest. What was waiting for him was a tacit double-team from Stevens.

From the perspective of the Knicks' murderous pressing defense, Wilson is just the first hurdle on the murder scene.

The second hurdle is Stevens.

Wilson is like the finger responsible for foreplay, and Stevens is the Optimus Prime that makes people climax.

Once he appears, he comes for the ball.

Thomas reacted quickly enough to collect the ball before it was intercepted and passed it to Reggie Lewis.

Lewis can indeed hold the ball in position, but it is difficult to bring the ball from the backcourt to the frontcourt in front of the Defensive Player of the Year.

Rodman's defense vividly and vividly demonstrated why the Knicks' press is a murderous press.

He first used his body to resist Lewis's deliberate thrust, and then engaged in a confrontation, causing the opponent to lose his balance.

Lewis no longer cares about the ball, but Rodman's goal is only the ball.

With his hand, he roughly slapped the ball away from Lewis.

Stevens, who was troubling Thomas a second ago, picked up the ball, and the Knicks completed a round of murderous press.

Wilson sprinted toward the basket, his hand pointing high at the basket.

Laimbeer, who was in charge of serving, could not expect that his teammates would steal the ball in this way, and he wanted to stop Wilson.

He couldn't do it by relying solely on the court.

In addition to his skills, he also has a fearsome reputation.

But Wilson, this stupid young man, was not afraid of Laimbeer's so-called notoriety. He jumped up coldly, pushed his knee into Laimbeer's chest, caught the flying pass with one hand, and faced the number one villain in the 1980s.

His body, hands and ball smashed into the basket like a tomahawk.

"!￥@%......"

"BejBejBejBej!~"

The people in the arena are as fanatical as religious believers.

They shouted in unison: "We Will~ We Will~ R Y!!!" (We will defeat you)

66 to 63

Louis crossed his arms over his chest and showed no emotion at the success of the players in the Murder Press team in the first round.

It's not enough to just defend for one round. The scene just now was a common occurrence for Louis.

Chris Ford shouted from behind: "A few more people to help!"

Originally, the Celtics' backcourt only consisted of Laimbeer who served, Thomas who received the ball, and Lewis who responded from the side. Now they have Bird in the midfield and Sampson not far from the midfield.

This is the necessary coordination to get through halftime safely under the murderous pressure: five people must play together.

Because Sampson came out, John Salley, who was responsible for guarding the basket, also left the penalty area.

This is a rare scene on the court. Ten players from both sides gathered in the backcourt of the other team with LG as the boundary.

The violent body collision caused the first person to fall to the ground.

This man is Reggie Lewis.

In order to cover Thomas, he was knocked down by Wilson.

His fall to the ground put Thomas into a more dangerous situation, and Stevens came over to attack with confidence.

Thomas was forced to the sideline, but fortunately Bird responded, otherwise it would have been another mistake.

Bird took the ball and crossed the midfield with Rodman in front of him. He opened his hands like a spider waiting for prey to fall into its web, once again stopping the Celtics' advance.

Bird stayed one step ahead of LG. If he retreated any further, it would be a return violation. He could not retreat.

Even if the Celtics didn't steal the ball, their defense made the opponent impeccable.

The last person to take action was Ranbir.

His outside three-point shot failed to find the target, and he made a three-pointer due to Seli's interference.

"Great defense! Under the Knicks' defense, the Celtics couldn't score at all!"

The Celtics tried to use a counter-full-court press to limit the Knicks' offense.

This routine could still be used a few years ago, but it no longer works.

Because Wilson has strengthened his dribbling ability in the past two years, his current dribbling skills are no different from those of ordinary point guards. This is an important step for him to evolve his ball-handling threat to McGrady's level. In Louis' view, he and McGrady

The only difference may be the indistinguishable feel of the ball between the left and right hands.

Even if the Celtics use a double attack to force Wilson to stop, he is not a traditional point guard like Thomas who is restricted by his height and cannot find his teammates when he is double attack.

He has a barefoot height of 203 centimeters. As soon as the Celtics' double attack arrives, he passes the ball to Reggie Williams.

Georgetown's genius, before Allen Iverson, was the crowning masterpiece among the perimeter players trained by John Thompson.

His ball-handling ability is good enough to play point guard, and his shooting ability is strong enough to play the second position. His height of 201 centimeters + explosive physical fitness and strong athletic ability plus the attributes of all-attack and all-defense make him a good player for the Marvel team.

The third ace position is powerful throughout the United States.

In the murder squad, Louis only needs his ability as the number one.

Williams easily resolved Lewis's interference and steadily carried the ball across the half court.

The difference can be seen by comparing the intensity of the two sides' full-court press.

Williams dribbled the ball past Lewis and met Sampson's help in front.

His eyes were full of murderous intent. He was once a proud man, but injuries ruined him. He was abandoned by his home team in just two seasons. Now he came to New York and joined his senior brother, but he didn't want to win the championship lying down. He wanted to win the championship.

Prove yourself.

"Reggie Williams faces Ralph!"

"Mr. One has got him!"

"Oh no! He dribbled away from Ralph behind his back and went straight to the basket!"

"Reggie! Reggie! Reggie!" Marv Albert shouted, "Reggie Williams completed a wonderful dunk in the penalty area. This man was born to be an eagle, and he flew again!"

Williams punched the air as he came down, and countless kids will imitate his post-dunk celebration in the future.

This action can even represent black anger on the court.

"Reggie," Louis stretched out his hand, "this is you."

Williams excitedly high-fived Louis and then entertained the Celtics with a stronger defense.

On this play, the Knicks' defense was no longer a murder scene.

This looks more like the Lingchi scene!

Bloody, w. Violent, ruthless, cruel Wilson, Rodman, Stevens, Williams, when four wing Spider-men with explosive athletic ability appear in the opponent's half, determined to make the opponent die in their own defense.

This is the scene next time.

"This defense should be the best in history." Billy Donovan was intoxicated. "Can the Celtics withstand it?"

Zhao Yuanzheng smiled and said: "I don't think it's possible."

"Why?" Donovan asked.

"Look at Coach Lu." Zhao Yuanzheng said, "He has already sat down. This is a significant detail."

Even if you are not a colleague who has been with him for many years, you can still see some of Louis' habits by watching a few Knicks games.

When the outcome is not decided, he will stand on the sidelines and give instructions at any time to remind the players.

If he feels there is no suspense anymore, he will sit down regardless of victory or defeat.

Turnover, miss, error, out of bounds, mistake, mistake.

In five possessions, there were four turnovers, three of which directly resulted in the Knicks scoring.

Everyone knows that murderous tight ends are killing the Celtics.

Louis sat down, as if he had sentenced his opponent to death.
