The rest is just noise

10 seconds before the end, John Stockton dribbled the ball from the outside.

He no longer wants to attack.

133 to 120

The score of this game does not reflect the intensity of the game at all.

The Celtics are tough enough, but the Knicks are too damn tough.

5-4-3-2-1

Louis held a Coke in his right hand and unscrewed the easy-open button under the witness of everyone.

Just like Auerbach's victory cigar, Louis' Coke is also a symbol of the Knicks' winning games.

At the end of the game, Ralph Sampson, who had 33 points, 20 rebounds, 4 assists and 8 blocks, let out a long breath. This time they had no excuses...

Larry Bird rubbed his back, wondering what the situation was.

Isiah Thomas took the extreme step of refusing to shake hands with Knicks players and leaving the game early with Laimbeer.

This kind of behavior of not shaking hands with the opponent after losing the ball will cause the Celtics to be severely criticized after the game.

As long as the Knicks themselves don't feel sick, the New York media will make the Celtics feel sick.

Wilson had another iconic postseason game.

In Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Celtics, he scored 52 points. Among them, he only scored 20 points in the first three quarters and scored 32 points in the fourth quarter.

This is the individual scoring record in a single quarter in the history of the Eastern Conference Finals.

Wilson can finally come to Bird as a complete winner.

The last time they eliminated the Celtics, Bird was not on the court. Due to injury, Bird did not fight to the end in that classic tiebreaker.

This time, it's still a war between the Knicks and Celtics, but Wilson's competitiveness is completely different from back then.

In these five games, Wilson averaged 38.2 points, 8.8 rebounds and 6 assists per game, and his three field goal percentages reached an astonishing 54+40+95.

When he came to Bird, he was a little awkward.

Does he hate Bird? That's a given.

Bird is old first, but the harm he caused to Wilson in the past few years, as well as his extremely insulting spit, are still in his heart.

But Bird is undoubtedly one of his most feared opponents. Being able to lead the team to victory by suppressing Bird in the series means a lot to Wilson.

"I really want to say that the future belongs to you, but you have already dominated the present." You must admit defeat. This is one of Bird's life creeds. "However, I don't think you can easily defeat Los Angeles. Magic is not that easy to deal with.

, don’t think you are stable.”

"Isn't he a tragedian?"

"To me, he will always be the magician."

Now Bird no longer looks like a hater when he mentions Tragedy, not because he has made Tragedy repay his debt with interest, but because the two of them co-produced a Converse sneaker commercial during the 1985 offseason.

Then we got to know each other better and let go of our original prejudices.

At this moment, Byrd's defense of the tragedy master was purely out of personal friendship.

Wilson didn't have that much respect for the tragedy master, "Are you so sure they can break out from the west?"

When the Knicks eliminated the Celtics, the Lakers and Trail Blazers were tied at 3-2. Although Los Angeles had two match points, it was still unknown who could break through from the Western Conference.

"Of course." Bird said confidently.

Wilson and Bird shook hands and hugged. Their grudges are still there, and there is still mutual disgust, but this does not prevent each other from congratulating their opponents at the end of the game.

This is not only etiquette, but also respect for the game and yourself.

This is a game where you go all out, whether you win or lose, you give it your all, so at the end of the game, you must pay tribute to your opponent.

Just walking away doesn't work anywhere.

"Oh, I told those guys a long time ago that I can't be tough with you, but they didn't listen!" Ford complained in front of Louis, "Also, with this toughness, I don't even have the shame to go back to Boston!"

It's understandable that Ford feels this way. The Celtics' most ferocious defensive end and physical confrontation was the one in which the Knicks scored the most points in the series.

In fact, the reverse is also true.

120 points is also the Celtics' highest score in the series.

The high scores of both sides don't mean anything, because in this game they both played the highest level of offense and defense. When the goal was supposed to be scored, even if someone suddenly lost touch, his teammates would quickly pick up the firepower.

"Stop pushing your nose and face. As an acting coach, you are qualified."

Louis revealed a fact.

There is a high probability that Chris Ford will be reinstated next season.

"Hehe, I thought so before, but after seeing you, I changed my mind." Ford smiled bitterly, "Without you as a benchmark, I think I would have done pretty well, but with your damn precedent

, Reed will definitely compare you with me, how can I compare to you?"

Louis liked hearing this, and he hoped Ford would say more.

"If you can't go further in Boston, you are welcome to come to New York. Although I can't give you any guarantee, I can at least ensure that your salary and working environment will be better than in Boston."

"Really? That's great!"

He won't come.

Ford is also a direct descendant of the Celtics. He has worked in Boston for many years and he really wants to succeed there.

All the obstacles in front of him are gone. If nothing else happens, he will be the next coach of the Green Army.

Louis doesn't care who is the coach of the Celtics. This year's Eastern Conference Finals has proven that the Celtics are no longer as brave as they used to be, and without major reinforcements, they will only become weaker and weaker.

Ford is just an average coach. He can't change Bird's injuries, Isiah Thomas' exposed nature, or the Celtics' declining momentum.

Louis walked to the sidelines and was interviewed.

The reporter asked: "Coach Lu, this is the second time you have defeated the Celtics in three years. Is the feeling this time any different from the last time?"

"The last time we beat them, it felt like a dream, an unreal feeling." Louis couldn't help but give a slap in the face to the veterans in Boston, "I feel like we are like Michael Tyson, using a

After KOing the Celtics with a heavy punch, I not only felt real, but also felt an indescribable sense of relief."

"So, you're enjoying it now?"

"I feel so good that I can fly, okay?"

In the on-site interview, Louis was the protagonist, and in the post-match press conference, Wilson was the protagonist among the protagonists.

Louis and Ewing became Passenger A and Passenger B.

Although ignored, Louis and Ewing are satisfied with the status quo. They don't like the media, and they don't like dealing with the media. It would be great if every time they play a game it's like tonight.

However, asking Wilson to play as well as he did tonight in every playoff game is too much.

After beating the Celtics, Louis gave the players a day off.

They can change their mood before the Western Conference decides their opponent in the Finals.

Louis and his coaching staff are not as idle as the players.

The next day, Louis agreed that on the night of Game 6 of the Western Conference Finals, the entire Knicks coaching staff would stay at the Blue Palace to watch the game.

At this time, the Trail Blazers, who were trailing 2-3, had several problems.

They have no big man, Larry Nance is injured, James Edwards cannot be used much, and Rick Schmitz was beaten by David Robinson and lost his memory.

Clifford Robinson⑴ began to reveal his true nature as a regular dragon and late season bug.

In this case, the Trail Blazers seem to need Jordan and the Glider to go hand in hand.

However, Jordan did not trust his teammates.

This is also a problem that can be seen based on the data. In the five Western Conference Finals, Jordan averaged 38 points, 11 rebounds, 8 assists, 3 steals and 50% shooting.

After such a heavenly performance, the team actually fell behind 2-3?

Because the glider field averages only 17+7+7. You know, even Pippen on the opposite side has an average of 18+8+5.

So Louis immediately concluded that there was something wrong within the Blazers.

Then, Louis asked Zhao Yuanzheng to spend half a day sorting out all the news and gossip that proved there were problems within the team.

One of the news is about Jordan and gliders.

This season, Glider's big contract began to be implemented, and his salary surpassed Jordan's, ranking first in the team.

One day, Glider was arguing with his teammates about his salary. Jordan overheard and immediately made a joke that everyone except Glider found funny: "Even if your annual salary is 4 million, don't you still have to buy my sneakers?"

Another piece of news came from Trail Blazers backup forward Jerome Cosey, when he heard a reporter relay Jordan's statement that he never criticized his teammates.

Kesi looked shocked: "He really said that?"

Nance, the eldest brother in the team, shook his head and said, "It's really unimaginable that MJ could say such a thing."

And so on, a clear image of Jordan entered Louis' sight.

Domineering, domineering, and domineering, he has two faces internally and externally.

Of course, this basically conformed to Louis' image of Jordan, but he never expected that Jordan, who started his career with the Trail Blazers, would encounter problems that he had never encountered in another timeline.

There are strong teammates, but because you are too strong, you don’t trust your teammates;

He is eager to use his own strength to drive his teammates, but he only needs their teammates to cooperate, but he finds that when he needs their teammates to cooperate, they can't cooperate, so he will get angry, and both Glider and Nance will be scolded by him bloody.

But these gliders are different from the Pippins in another timeline.

Strictly speaking, these people are his seniors. They entered the league earlier than Jordan, but they had to be driven by him, sacrifice and make concessions for him, and in the end they couldn't win the championship.

When Jordan's statistics are sky-high and the Blazers still can't win, these problems will intensify into irreconcilable conflicts.

Therefore, when the Trail Blazers lost Tianwang Mountain, the glider couldn't help it.

"It's always very painful at times like this because I'll be the reason why the team loses."

This makes Louis himself feel unbelievable. Why does Jordan in this life have such a strong James flavor?

Personalities and demeanor may be very different, but their personal statistics are so impressive that even their powerful teammates are in trouble.

The Trail Blazers lost, Jordan did not lose

Teammates are stupid

This smell is too strong

⑴ It’s not that I’m criticizing him. You don’t even need to watch the game, just look at the data and you will know. The data is visible in the playoffs.
