The Rest, Only Noise

"John Stockton, Spot Webb, Mario Elie, Tyler Corbin, Manute Pohl, Gerald Wilkins, Alex Stevens , Tony Campbell, A.C. Green."

At the end of the third quarter, Tom Heinsohn pronounced the names of these people.

"New York has no more top-10 picks than Patrick Ewing, Charles Oakley, Antoine Kyle and Dale Ellis, who are young, mostly first- and second-year players. , only Dale and Antoine are third graders."

Heinsohn asked a question.

"Why? Some of these people are undrafted, and some are players who are very late in the draft. They were not favored by scouts before the draft, and some were 'garbage' abandoned by their parent teams. Why did they come to LittleLu? turned into a beast?"

Heinsohn's partner Dick Stockton asked: "Tommy, do you know why?"

"I don't understand, but I'm shocked," Heinsohn said bitterly. "LittleLu's loss from Boston is far greater than we thought."

"Everyone has the sun, the key is how to make it shine."

"LittleLu does what 99% of the coaches can't do, he's an amazing light hunter."

The background of Heinsohn's evaluation of Louie was not when the Knicks won the game at the end of the game, but when the Knicks led the Celtics by 18 points 101-83 at the end of the third quarter.

In the third quarter, the Knicks boldly pressed the Celtics to death.

Louie caught the Celtics' stalemate in the game and liked to play short rotations. Except for Bol (poor physical strength, poor running) and Kyle (not good at defense), the Knicks activated 10 people on the roster, in three times. Duan Li took turns on the field, and the shocking audience pressure lasted for a whole quarter.

The team lost 17 fouls in a single quarter.

Especially in the last four minutes, the Celtics can only rely on free throws, the shooting rate is terrible, only 4 points.

The game entered the fourth quarter, and the Celtics, who didn't want to give up, didn't want to end their 39-game winning streak at home, and didn't want the Knicks to end their losing streak against themselves, replaced all the main players and had to fight to the death.

The Knicks also made five-up and five-down substitution adjustments.

In the fourth quarter, they will no longer press the whole court. The five people who are responsible for the end of the whole court pressing in the third quarter, only Ellis is the main force. He is the main reason why the Knicks can pull the score in the last four minutes. , his three-pointers are almost all hit.

In the fourth quarter, Louis returned to Stockton, Tyrone Corbin, Tony Campbell, Ewing, and Bol.

"Don't watch the score, don't watch the timer, just play every second that's left."

Louis ordered.

The players came on, and Louis saw Antoine Kyle's anxious face. After the second half started, he had not played, and his physical strength had long since recovered.

"Antoine, be patient, hold back your desire and strength, I will need you later!"

Finally he saw Stevens buried in the towel, holding the paper cup tightly in his hand.

In the third quarter, the Knicks rotated ten people, and only one person was always present.

It was Stevens, and Louie couldn't replace him at all. His size, candy defense, and inexhaustible stamina cost him more in those 12 minutes than it would take to play an entire game normally.

In these 12 minutes, Stevens made 1 of 7 shots, scored 2 points, 6 rebounds, 1 assist and 3 steals and 1 block.

This is something that cannot be represented by data.

On the field, Sampson returned after a four-minute break.

Besides him, there are Thomas and Byrd.

The Celtics' Big Three had a rest in the third quarter, but Thomas and Bird both played the last eight minutes and then continued in the fourth quarter.

The way K.C employs has certain risks for the players themselves.

However, the strength of the Celtics was also reflected in the fourth quarter when the two sides played normal positional warfare.

The Knicks still have enough defensive strength, but they are still hard to resist in the face of the three big Celtics being pressed.

Bird came up and asked the ball to hit Campbell, very active, and intentionally made more fouls.

Campbell has already committed four fouls. As the main force of the Knicks, he leads the team in scoring (the only one averaging 20 points per game), and hitting him can effectively attack the Knicks' scoring ability.

Campbell was swayed, Bird rubbed shoulders, shot and rebounded, Andone.

"Tony, be tough if you want to foul, don't be intimidated by that hillbilly!" Louie shouted.

Bird stared.

"What are you looking at, you still want to beat us by 40 points at your **** level? Even the Lakers are not as good!" Louie's sarcasm worked.

Bodega's penalty was obviously too strong, and it bounced out, but Sampson squeezed Bol's body, took off the board directly, and then violently turned sideways. Strong dunks allowed the Celtics to chase 4 points in a round.

87 to 101

"They still have the power to chase points!" Tomjanovich said in shock.

"It's normal. They have all gone down to rest. Moreover, implementing a full-court press and being exhausted by a full-court press are two different things." Louis knew that the Celtics were going to counterattack in the fourth quarter.

"Then what?"

"It's easy." Louie's answer made Tomjanovich uneasy. "Trust these guys."

"Uh this..."

The Knicks' offense was far more patient than the Celtics. Stockton held the ball on the right, Thomas clapped his hands, and spat out trash talk to make him single.

Ewing ran to the top of the arc again. He has completely become the core insider required by the system, and has developed the habit of not falling into the low position, but using the top and high positions as a resident game.

Georgetown's Ewing, compared with him now, is simply two types of insiders.

Ewing goes to the top of the arc, but doesn't give Stockton a pick-and-roll.

Stockton passed the ball to Ewing at the top of the arc, and he wanted to cut inside, making the Celtics think the Knicks were going to run the empty side tactics.

As a result, just as Stockton took a step inside the three-point line, Thomas quickly retreated, and the space he gave up was occupied by Tyrone Corbin, who ran from the right.

Corbin ran the pick-and-roll in front of Thomas, and Stockton quickly retreated from the 3-point line.

Ewing passed the ball and Stockton made a three-pointer.

This is not what he is good at, but now, there is no better chance.

"Shh!"

The three-point shot that wasn't in the rhythm Stockton was used to, the flanking pick-and-roll created by HornsPinFan's tactics in the system, and the inside and back run.

In terms of tough positions, the Celtics are more than ten times stronger than the Knicks.

Light-run tactics, if there is no personal offensive threat, the Celtics will choose to shrink the defense.

After all, the Knicks lineup has no lethal three-point threat.

So, by the time they started looking for someone to man Stockton and let everyone else take the long shot, the Knicks' advantage was eroded to just 12 points in four minutes.

Louie traded in for Dale Ellis, but his 3-pointer seemed to go into the third quarter.

The Celtics brought him more confrontation than anyone else.

Ellis was knocked all over the place and missed all three-pointers, but as long as he stood on the court, the Celtics dared not let him shoot.

So, even if he doesn't shoot, his presence can be a threat.

Ewing's one-on-one pick-and-roll, pick-and-roll, catch-and-shoot jumper and straight down, arranged for 8 of the Knicks' next 10 points.

He was even better than Sampson in this section.

The Celtics' pursuit of points is basically dominated by the Big Three. At the same time, the three-point threat of John Long and Laimbeer also created the best stage for them.

Basically, they're scoring every possession.

With only four minutes left in the game, Ewing missed a shot and was picked up by the Celtics for the rebound. Sampson strode forward and launched a counterattack and dunked hard.

110 to 116

The Knicks' lead is only 6 points left. If they don't score any more, they will have no difficulty in chasing and tying the Celtics with full firepower.

At this most critical time, defense is not Louis's first consideration.

His eyes fell on Antoine Kyle.

"Antoine, I want to hand over the next few rounds of offense to you." Louis asked, "Are you sure?"

Kyle responded loudly: "I will definitely throw in all of them!"

For the Knicks ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ the game has come to a point of life and death.

The third quarter was the stage where they got off the ground, and that was what they bought with the vitality of 10 players, and it was impossible to last for the entire second half.

The fourth quarter was when the Celtics fought back. The Knicks' overall attacking ability was completely incomparable to the Celtics. Therefore, Louis needed to constantly change the offensive point.

Kyle was the last attempt and the last attempt.

All the cards in his hand have been played, and there is nothing left.

With 3 minutes and 58 seconds left in the game, the Knicks lead by 6 points.

Louie looked at the timer again and said to Tomjanovich, "Rudy, we're going to win."

At the end of the third quarter, the Knicks, leading by 18 points, convinced Tomjanovich that they could beat the Celtics.

But now, the 18-point deficit has aroused the blood of the Boston Big Three. They launched a violent counterattack and caught up to only 6 points.

With less than 4 minutes left in the game, can you really win?

"if..."

"No ifs!" Louis interrupted staunchly. "We'll win!"
