The Rest, Only Noise

"If you don't feel relieved enough, you can punch me again."

When Ewing wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said this, the locker room remembered when the moment that made Wilson unrecognizable happened.

The book "When the Garden Was Eden" has changed a lot, and the biggest damage it has done is that Knicks players stopped believing in their teammates.

And someone like Ewing who made an extreme reaction broke the hearts of his teammates.

So when Ewing was punched in a frenzy by Wilson, he said this, and the atmosphere in the locker room changed from heat to calm.

"Enough, enough."

The person who broke this enigmatic silence was John Sally, who had been in the cold for a long time.

Sally can be said to be the biggest accomplice in the Eden incident. He provided a lot of internal information and said a lot of irresponsible words, including the ambiguous answers of many teammates to sensitive events. From him, he got a positive answer.

"I know that no matter what I do, I can't exchange for your forgiveness, but I am proud of this team and proud of being a part of this team." Salley's eyes were red and his voice was hoarse. , "In the whole league, I'm only willing to come off the bench for this team, I'm only willing to come off the bench for Kevin McHale, Dennis Rodman, Sean Kemp, Patrick Ewing...I know I screwed up the line that connects us all, but it's my fault, no one else's, and you shouldn't suffer for it."

"Whether I can play or not, I hope we can win, my soul is with you, and I, like everyone who supports the Knicks, don't want to see us lose..." Salley's eyes were filled with tears. Blinking, looking ashamed, "I know I'm not qualified to ask you to do anything, but... are you willing to fail like this? We are the New York Knicks, we stepped on the corpses of Bostonians and sat in this position, we Having sworn to rule until we all retire, are we going to end the journey in a garden with nothing to do?"

"Fairy Wood"

"Patrick, can you lead us to another charge?"

"Dennis, can you grab more rebounds for us?"

"Sean, don't you want to prove to Charles Barkley that you're the best power forward in action!"

"Reggie, if someone wants to decide my life or death by one person's shot, my choice will always be you, you are the best shooter!"

Sally's words moved his teammates.

Betraying teammates and leaking locker room secrets is unforgivable.

But who would say no to someone who is passionate and genuinely rehabilitated?

When Salley finally looked at Wilson, the person who was indirectly hurt the most by him had already burst into tears: "benj..."

Wilson shook his head: "Stop talking..."

Wilson looked at each teammate in tears, and his eyes finally settled on Louie's face: "I apologize for everything."

You have to witness the collapse of the team to know the value of their unity.

The teaching assistants knocked on the door outside.

Tomjanovich stuck his head in and said, "It's almost time."

Louie cleared his throat. He had a lot of feelings, but he couldn't elaborate at the moment. Time waits for no one, but this team did not disappoint him in the end.

"I'm not going to say, we're going to come back in the second half because Portland was invulnerable."

Louie's voice rose slowly.

"I'm sorry to say that, but I think betrayal by someone we trust is the best thing that can happen to us, and only then will we know the importance of loyalty."

"I also feel that what benj has done in the finals is the best thing he's ever done, because only then can he know that the trust of his teammates and the success we've had so far is not for granted."

"I want you to understand that victory and defeat are inevitable, and if our defeat is inevitable, I hope the people of Portland will rub salt in your wounds, and then you will remember this experience forever."

"That's all I have to say, our tactical play is there, I believe we will play better, if you expect me to say anything and you will win, I'm sorry to let you down, for For the remaining half of the game, I have only one word to offer—"

"23 points is a fart!!!"

※※※

Fans at Madison Gardens are in a jittery mood.

Trailing the Blazers by 23 points at halftime, this game is obviously about to be explained.

The problem is that the Knicks can't afford to lose.

The losing season is over, and the dynasty is over.

How can you lose so ugly?

So when Ewing led people into the arena, Spike Lee sent out the voice of the fans: "Patrick, do something!"

Ewing's answer was simply possessed by Louis. He looked at the director coldly, and opened his mouth to say Zaun's words: "Shut your **** stinky mouth!"

Riley felt that the Knicks were a little different from the first half, but he couldn't tell what was different.

The most ridiculous scene happened.

Charles Barkley doesn't know what kind of crazy, he doesn't warm up well, he just wants the whole show to work.

Among the many stadium work that Louis has seen, Barkley is a good and defiant one.

I saw Barkley walked up to Louis and looked like he was saying hello.

Louis wanted to ask him, "How does it feel to be about to win the championship?" Unexpectedly, Barkley's hand behind him suddenly "changed" into a can of Coke.

"Coach Lu, this is the heart of our team, please accept it." Barkley laughed.

Louis hesitated for a second.

When the audience saw this scene, violent boos came from all directions.

This act is nothing less than Louis lighting a victory cigar in the Boston Garden in 1986.

If cigars are Auerbach's label, Coke is Louis's label.

He is not only the spokesperson of Coca-Cola, but also has his own "Victory Horn" brand of Coke. Whenever the Knicks establish a victory ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ he will open a bottle of Coke on the sidelines.

This has become part of American popular culture in the 80s and 90s.

A post-victory sip of Coca-Cola almost replaced the Victory cigar.

Barkley did this before the Blazers won, and the New York fans who regarded Louis as gods were naturally furious.

But Louis took his Coke and let Zhao Yuanzheng keep it low temperature in an ice bucket.

"Thank you, Chuck."

Louie wasn't angry, not at all.

If New York fans are angry, what about the Knicks players who respect Louie so much when they see Louie being disgusted like this?

Obviously, this is the "half-court champagne" on the basketball court.

Wilson said to Barkley, "Chuck, you've crossed the line."

"What's wrong with you, Coach Lu didn't say anything." Barkley said arrogantly, "Can't you afford to lose? There's nothing you can do if you can't afford to lose, we just want to slaughter you on the road, what do you want! "

Louie said to Tomjanovich: "If we win, I'll give the fmvp to the fat guy."

Tomjanovich quipped: "I voted for him too."
