The Rest, Only Noise

Latest website: Trent Tucker is like a deflated ball: "So, everything last night was 'The Last Supper'?"

"Not all, we want you to have a great night, it's not about the deal."

Louie didn't give Tucker any more information, only informed him about the deal himself.

Tucker leaves from Louie's office.

The deal was discussed by Debusschere, and the Knicks had nothing for sale except Stockton and Ellis, so the Lakers came to the door.

The loss in the Finals last season made them realize that the team needed two to three players on the perimeter who could open space for Magic and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

This season, they changed their high profile and moved forward calmly.

In this deal with the Knicks, they sent Ronnie Lester and a 1985 first-round pick.

Tucker could instantly change the Lakers' lack of shooters.

This season, Tucker posted his best career numbers under Louie, averaging 12 points per game, making 1.8 three-pointers per game and shooting 38 percent from the field.

This is the player the Lakers desperately need.

After the deal, there was a lot of buzz in the New York media.

The last time he traded Walker, it could be seen as a waste, and the Ellis he got back was really good.

What about this time? Tucker just had the best performance of his career, and before the creamy taste of the smeared birthday cake in the locker room completely disappeared, people were sent away?

Moreover, the exchange is still not looking like a useful Ronnie Lester.

Leicester has been in the league for almost five years, and he was also a promising defender in the early days, but when Louis was a scout, he concluded that this person would not be able to achieve anything in the NBA, his skills were flawed, and his body was not that healthy. .

As a result, what hinders Leicester's progress is really his health.

Tucker left New York the day the deal was announced.

Leicester barely made it through a half-day medical examination, and he met Louis in Debusschere's office.

Seeing his uncomfortable walking posture, Louis knew that this man wouldn't be able to fight for too long.

"We're a team looking to break through and improve, so you don't have to be nervous, Ronnie," Debusschere graciously reassured.

Louie communicated with him much less.

They just introduced each other, and after a few words of greetings, there was nothing left.

The lineup has changed continuously, and the Knicks' locker room atmosphere is not as active as before.

The rotating trades made players feel that no matter how well they played, anyone could be sent away.

Louie had no plans to reassure people, just talking to Stockton and Ellis separately, and he assured them that he was part of the team's long-term plan.

Others played a three-game losing streak with worry.

The night of the Knicks' three-game losing streak was the last day of 1984.

Louis, who was in it, did not realize how special 1984 was about to become history.

Not to mention other industries in the world, as far as basketball is concerned, this is the first year that the NBA has implemented the salary cap, and has successfully brought back some teams that were on the verge of bankruptcy;

The development of cable TV, the professional performance of NBA in last season's labor-management negotiations, won the appreciation of cbs, so, multi-pronged approach, the 1983-84 NBA season became the focus of TV media, live one after another , Bird and Magic, who coincided with the meeting, took the two teams with the most storylines in the league to the finals and pushed professional basketball to the peak.

Next, the 1984 generation entered the alliance;

Then, on the last day of the year, in a corner of the world that Louis did not know, in a dilapidated old house on the outskirts of Akron, Ohio, 16-year-old Gloria gave birth to a son who was later named: LeBron Raymond James.

On January 1, 1985, Zhao Yuanzheng returned from a business trip for several months.

He completed 100 scouting reports and had 30 top picks.

These reports were placed in Louie's office, and the training atmosphere at the Blue Palace was a little more tense than before.

The panic within the team caused by the trades of Walker and Tucker continued to affect the Knicks' preparations.

On the second day of Zhao Yuanzheng's return, Bernard King returned from injury.

Seeing him, Louie thought of his $900,000.

"Lao Jin, this is your first day as a freelancer, so you have to be more motivated." Louis encouraged yin and yang strangely.

The King of New York didn't know why Louie called him "Old King," and if it was a way of showing closeness, he would refuse.

To this day, Louis has not figured out what to do with Bernard King.

At first, he wanted to exchange this guy for some equivalent resources, and then he was playing, and found that if there were a few games he wanted to win, this guy was the guarantee.

Kim and himself didn't deal with it, but he didn't bring that emotion to the court.

At the beginning of the season, because I couldn't accept that I had to play a freelance job for a year, I had a few passive games, and then I recovered.

He's the Knicks' most threatening player, and when he's in shape, he can shatter the league's defenses.

If such a person is willing to play as a deputy like Wilkins beside Magic or Thomas beside Bird, he will definitely be a fighter.

But Louis could see that Bernard King wasn't the next generation.

Therefore, how to trade him, who to trade him to, and how to maximize his value are all things that Louis and the coaching staff need to study.

Before determining his future, Louis naturally wants to ease the relationship with him, even if they don't deal with each other, they can't be too stiff on the surface.

Kim himself knew that he couldn't openly sing against Louie, otherwise it would have serious consequences for the team and himself - this was a lesson he bought with a year of free labor, which was a whopping $900,000.

The Knicks didn't play until January 4, 1985, from the last day of 1984.

The opponent they were waiting for was the Boston Celtics, the overlord of the Eastern District.

The Celtics have had some internal problems recently, and Maxwell doesn't want to continue to play as a substitute because he has already practiced a three-pointer in the early 30s.

Louis promised him last season to give him a chance to compete with other starters if his 3-pointer hits.

Bird can't compete. Thomas and Lang are not the same position. Sampson is the first center in the league, so it's normal that he can't compete. Laimbeer, he doesn't think he can't compete in any place.

· Jones is a good person, he can calm the atmosphere, but can not handle the contradictions.

In tonight's game, the Celtics were obviously affected by the atmosphere in the team, and the Knicks actually saw the dawn of victory.

After the first half, the Celtics led by only 4 points.

Bird felt bad, Thomas ended up with a sprained calf at the start, Maxwell and Laimbeer didn't deal with each other, and John Lang was blocked.

What gave the Celtics a halftime lead was Sampson's talent beyond the court.

His evolution is beyond imagination.

This year, he developed a top-of-the-arc three-pointer with a shooting rate of more than 35%. The turn-over jumper and the turn-back after the low post hit become sharper with the improvement of core strength, killing people.

Even more frightening is that Sampson combined his back-to-the-basket offense with his face-to-the-basket offense into an offensive system.

Amid the chaos within the Celtics, Sampson averaged 24 points, 13 rebounds, 4 assists and 4.4 blocks per game, ranking first in a row on the MVP simulation list.

His never-before-seen style of play, and the way he dominated the game, was dubbed "que" by legendary announcer Chick Hearn of the Celtics' nemesis, the Lakers.

The evolution Sampson has achieved today has convinced Louis. The plan he made for the other party was correct.

The first two years off the bench, building up your muscles, then learning how to position yourself, starting with the basket collar, and then doing green leaves next to Bird and Thomas.

These are the foundations that have transformed Sampson, and now he has grown into an unimaginable monster on both offense and defense, which is logical.

In the second half, Dale Ellis's three-pointer gradually broke out.

He was limited to only 9 points by the Celtics in the first half, scored 30 points alone in the second half and 39 points in the whole game.

However, his offensive firepower is fierce and fierce, and his defense is also a big problem.

After coaching him for so many games, Louie finally knows which player Ellis looks like.

Not very good at grabbing rebounds, not very good at cooperating with teammates, great catch and shoot... Isn't this Michael Reid?

He has less ball-handling ability and more selfless heart than Reed.

Louie doesn't blame Ellis for his defense. He has made the most of his strengths. The Knicks lost to the Celtics by 11 points.

Sampson played 37 minutes, from the first second to the end of the game, with an 80+% shooting rate of 44 points, 23 rebounds, 6 assists and 8 blocks, and only 2 turnovers.

When Louis saw his old partner, there was not much helplessness on his face.

"How did that guy become so strong?" Louie felt that Sampson was one level stronger than last season.

The current Sampson is definitely the first center in the league, and the only influence in the league on both offense and defense.

He is the best defender in the league and the top five attackers in the league. This kind of combination of offense and defense is incomparable to Bird and Magic.

"He and Dave (Cowens) trained for a whole summer." He laughed, "This is all made of sweat. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com"

Because of the hard power loss, Louis has nothing to say.

"Tsk tsk...I would have left if I had known." Louis made a little joke and advised, "A player of Ralph's size is very fragile, you should protect him."

Said, "Of course."

The Knicks and Celtics faced off for the third time of the season and ended in failure.

Louis accepted the interview with a lot of thought, and then walked into the player tunnel.

What if the goal was to bring down the Celtics?

First, they have the best pure point guard in active service; they have the league's No. 1; then, they have the league's No. 1 center at 24 years and 5 months...

"What the hell? This is all!!"
