The Rest, Only Noise
Chapter 508: The autumn wind sweeps the leaves in March
The Lakers' victory over the Knicks was more than just a game.
Throughout February, the Knicks lost the game.
In March, the Knicks were on the upswing.
Like any team that is ready for the playoffs, they put up an extraordinary performance.
The first one to stand in the way was the Pacers, a team that failed to acquire Reggie Miller, its future and its 17-year history will be changed.
Now, the Pacers also need a savior to save them from the quagmire.
In front of the Knicks, they didn't even have the strength to fight back, and they were shattered in an instant.
The second blocker is the Philadelphia 76ers, another team in need of a rot.
Oddly enough, they didn't choose to rot.
After Dr. J retired, the situation for this team was already very embarrassing.
There is basically no competitiveness, but the player strength is good.
The players they got from the Knicks have been upgraded and evolved one after another.
Currently, Gerald Wilkins is averaging 20 points per game and is the No. 1 offensive player in the 76ers, Green is averaging 16 points and 8 rebounds per game, and his presence in the interior is greater than the sometimes healthy and sometimes unhealthy Sam Bowe. Wayne, Mario Eli and Tony Campbell have turned into bench gangsters, plus veteran Maurice Cheeks, who have a chance to compete for playoff tickets as long as they don't want to mess up.
It's clear that the 76ers are reluctant to play bad, and they're now seventh in the Eastern Conference.
The game was dubbed "New York Knicks vs Philadelphia Knicks" by The New York Times.
The Knicks played great team basketball in Philadelphia. Louie played a 12-player rotation, with 8 players in double figures on the team. All 12 players on the field scored, rebounded, and scored assists.
Billy Cunningham's successor, Jim Linam, thought the game was difficult to replicate.
"We lost to a special team on a special night," Linam said bitterly. "I don't even remember leader Lu calling a timeout."
Interestingly, Linam refers to Louie as "leader dew" (leader road) rather than the usual "little dew" (small road).
This led to the birth of another nickname for Louis.
The nickname little dew comes from Bob Ryan of the Boston Globe.
After all, when Louis was in charge of the coach for the first time, he was only 23 years old. In any case, he was too young.
Therefore, Ryan deliberately used "little" to address Louis.
Five years later, Louis is still young, but the word youth is no longer a factor that others despise him, but a factor that makes people awe-inspiring.
He has done so much at such a young age, and his energy is not comparable to those of the old fritters who only became number one at the age of 40 or 50.
Being young makes him energetic and very daring to act.
This is something that many executives and coaches don't have.
Also from this day on, little Lu gradually became another level of existence - everyone began to call him leader Lu.
This didn't change for Louis, he didn't like these two nicknames, they didn't sound domineering enough.
But what can he do? The nicknames are all called by others, and he can't get it himself. Like O'Neal, he gave himself a lot of cool nicknames, but in the end, he didn't have his nickname "Shaq". .
After that, the Nets and Bulls lined up to deliver.
Both are Wilson performances.
Against the Nets, Wilson got off work with 38 points in three quarters.
In another fight with the Bulls, Wilson's performance was even better than the previous game, scoring his second 50 of the season, and, with a career-high 59 points, abruptly increased his scoring average to 26 points, leading his team to four consecutive games. win.
In this kind of game, there is no room for the coach to play, and Louis can blow it up.
"This year's benj is already a player at a different level." Louie bragged a bit, "He has already stood in the dimension of Larry Bird, Magician, and mj."
Louie made Wilson embarrassed, and he shyly responded by pulling his hips.
The next game can be regarded as a test of whether he can stand on Bird's dimension.
In the rematch with the Lakers, Wilson faced the season's MVP favorite Magician.
The result of the Lakers' turbulent lineup and the massive loss of the main force is that the Magician has gained a lot of shot rights that he could not have imagined before.
With the addition of magicians, the efficiency has not declined. Currently, he is averaging 29 points, 9 rebounds and 13 assists per game. He is very close to the first average of triple-doubles per game after Big O, but he has not yet learned to let his teammates help him to grab rebounds by himself. 's unique life.
Most likely, he will never learn it in his life.
Wilson didn't play well tonight, and the Lakers sent Pippen to guard him.
Rookie Pippen is already an excellent defender with size, speed and length to match Benj.
But this time, Louis did not give the magician another chance to break out.
The defensive intensity was improved, and the inside line played an advantage. Miller, Ellis, Hornacek and other shooters killed three-pointers in the fourth quarter. Determined the direction of the game.
Magic's hit rate was suppressed to less than 40% by the Knicks' iron-blooded defense. Abdul-Jabbar left the game with six fouls. Gilmour and the Knicks generals relived their teammates' love and undercover. Magic once wanted to relive 8 years ago in the finals. The aftertaste of the jump ball on the 5th position.
different from last time.
Last time he just had to jump the ball, this time he's really going to play center.
In the era of big balls, no matter how comprehensive you are, a 6-foot-8 guard who came to play as a center is courting death.
The Lakers lost, and so did Magic.
His shooting percentage is very low, and although he has a triple-double, his performance as a center is not ideal.
111 to 104
Unlike the last time, there was no smile on the magician's face, and he seemed destined to be unable to compete for the championship at his peak.
Louie reminded kindly: "You can find a way to get more rebounds and fight for a triple-double season."
The magician smiled and asked, "Can this help me beat the Boston gang?"
"Some solace can be given to you and those who support you," Louie said.
The magician stopped smiling and said almost indifferently, "Then it's useless, Coach Lu."
"Irwin, I know you're no worse than Larry. There's no victory or defeat between you. The Lakers are not as good as the Celtics."
That being said, the world will always remember Magic's fourth straight Finals loss to Bird.
"Coach Lu, you are more comforting than the women on 'A Midsummer Night's Dream'." The magician laughed.
Louis believed that the pain that failure brought him was absolutely great. But he's not Bird, he knows how to experience life, so he has a unique way of pastime.
All I can say is, it's a pity.
He has done everything he can to improve his shortcomings, but the more he changes, the less competitive the Lakers are in front of the Celtics.
Is this his fault? Absolutely not.
So, it's a pity.
It's just a pity that Bird and his team are the stronger side.
"Okay, don't make a fuss about it, the mere Celtics, let me knock them down."
Louie said with enthusiasm like a middle-2 youth.
"you?"
The magician looked at the rest of the Knicks with a clear suspicion on his face.
"Do you think we can't do it?" Louie wanted to ask the number one unlucky guy who had been tortured by the Celtics for four years.
"No, I don't have the right to say this, I have never played the Celtics myself..." Magic said modestly, "However, I think you have the potential to challenge Boston, but not this year."
Louie knew what a magician meant, and that was the opinion of the mainstream media, and all the professionals.
The Knicks have the potential to take over the Celtics' weakened league, but not now.
The Knicks belong to the 90s, not the present.
It's still a Celtic world.
Louie didn't think so. How could he wait until the Celtics get old to compete for the championship? If he has this plan, then he doesn't have to train players so seriously, and he doesn't have to stir up the situation on the trading floor.
It took him four years to put together a team that could challenge the Celtics, who were far from their peak, and could not reach their peak.
There are too many young people, overlapping positions, disaffected and ambitious, and of course selfless ones, but such people are a minority.
The reality is that this group can't get into their prime without getting along, so Louie has to win the title before then.
Let some people make sacrifices through champions, and then send away those who are unwilling to sacrifice.
And this year, is the best time, the Celtics are still at the top, they played their best regular season performance since 1986, Bird has a back injury but thanks to Isiah Thomas and Sampson, there is enough Time to rest, the Knicks have seen the strength of the Celtics after the loss of the Eastern Conference finals last season.
The time is right, this is the best chance.
Just to touch the Celtics in their prime and see who's tougher.
Victory over the Lakers, the Knicks are on fire.
Eagles, Jazz, Cavaliers, 76ers, Spurs, Eagles, Mavericks, the winning streak ended in the hands of the Celtics.
The Bostonians used another level of game intensity to make the Knicks who abused vegetables and abuse habits unable to react.
It was their 15th loss of the season.
There are three games left in March ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ against the Cavaliers, Bucks and Olajuwon.
The Knicks took the Cavaliers lightly and suffered another defeat in the Bucks. The game against the Olajuwon Rockets is worth mentioning.
This is Ewing's most aggressive offensive game all season.
Olajuwon is widely seen as better than him, but Ewing himself doesn't see it that way.
He feels that he is stronger than Olajuwon. From the university to the NBA, the achievements of their teams should speak for themselves.
But there are always some people who ignore these achievements and insist that Olajuwon is stronger, then Ewing can only prove it to them.
Exactly, tonight's Olajuwon was short-tempered, complaining about his teammates every 58 seconds (magically, this time was even more than Simmons' career three-pointer highlights), while Ewing had an angry look on his face and scored 39 points and 18 rebounds 7 caps.
