The Rest, Only Noise

Chapter 550: Get up from the fall

It was a strange game, and the Knicks never thought of relying on the referee to do their own offense.

From the first second of the game, they put their purpose on the table.

Defend, fight, bite, chase.

Not to get more points than you, but to control your points less than mine.

It sounds like nonsense, but at a game level, getting more points and letting your opponent get fewer points than you mean two different things.

The Knicks' defense made the Celtics' offense almost misfire across the board.

The first quarter, 23 to 20.

The Knicks led by 3 points. At the beginning of the second quarter, Stevens hit the opponent's shoulder when he helped defend Sampson.

The foul was so obvious that the referee blew the whistle decisively.

Louie turned back and looked at Wilson: "Benj, are you ready?"

The Knicks ace, Benjamin Wilson, didn't play in the first quarter.

For a whole period, his heart was suffering, and Louis's call was like giving life to a dying person.

Wilson clenched his fists and stood up: "Yes, coach!"

In the opening half of the second quarter, the Knicks made a large-scale substitution.

Louie replaced Hornacek, Stevens and Ewing with Stockton, Wilson and Oakley.

The Knicks lineup is Stockton, Ellis, Wilson, McHale, Oakley.

There is no pure center, but the five positions are well balanced.

The Celtics replaced Bird early in the second quarter and faced a lineup of Thomas, Danny Ainge, Harper, Jim Peterson and Sampson.

Sampson hit the free throw line and made two free throws.

22 to 23

Sampson led the Celtics to strengthen their defense. On the Knicks side, the biggest change was Louie's change to the ball handler.

Stockton is usually the ball in the series, and today, his job is just to carry the ball through the half.

After halftime, he gave the ball to Wilson and stood watching the wind.

Wilson held the ball at the top of the arc and called for tactics.

McHale ran a brilliant 2High Rip against the Celtics' twin-tower lineup and was lucky enough to take center Peterson.

Although Peterson is a center, it's difficult to guard McHale with his defensive ability.

McHale turned around falsely to try, then rolled back.

25 to 22

Let Wilson hold the ball and organize, in order to avoid the offensive threat of the ball carrier being ignored by the Celtics. Unlike Stockton, Wilson is a player who will give him a shot and he will take it decisively.

For the Celtics, the counterattack was quick.

Thomas hits Sampson.

Sampson attracted the Knicks to double-team with his own offensive threat, and lobbed the ball to Peterson inside.

Peterson dunked, 24-25.

Once again, the Celtics ran their tactics, giving the Knicks' ball-handler enough space to prevent a pick-and-roll drive. Without any hesitation, Wilson pulled out a shot from within the three-point line.

"boom!"

He seemed to be sitting on the bench for too long, and it felt cool.

But it doesn't matter, Sampson was taken away from the penalty area, Oakley elbowed Peterson and grabbed the offensive rebound and then distributed it to Ellis on the periphery.

"Can't let that person shoot!" Bird, who was sitting off the field, shouted.

Ellis stabilized his center of gravity, and when the defense came, the ball flew out of his hand.

"Shh!"

"Dale~~~ Ellis!!" Marv Albert shouted, "He's always there at a time like this!"

Suddenly, Wilson stayed in the frontcourt.

He was alone, pressing Isiah Thomas.

"You **** seek death!"

Thomas lowered his weight, opened his elbows first, then accelerated.

Wilson's reflexes were terrifyingly strong. He turned sideways in anger, opened his hand, and blocked the accelerating Thomas, forcing the opponent to pass the half in a more conservative way.

Just when Thomas wanted to find someone else to pass the ball and start the offense as soon as possible, McHale came to the perimeter.

His defense strength and wingspan completely blocked Thomas' vision.

With Wilson, forced out his mistakes.

Wilson who got the ball. Like a cheetah rushing towards its prey, he went to the frontcourt with an amazing tomahawk dunk, and played the Celtics pause.

27 to 22

"K.C. Jones is conservative, he doesn't want the Knicks to take off, and this timeout is just in time!

"Billy Cunningham didn't finish his sentence.

"Wait, what is Benjamin doing?"

In front of everyone's eyes, Wilson provoked Larry Bird, who was resting, "How long are you going to sit there?"

Tom Heinsohn's mentality suddenly turned bad, "This young man seems to have forgotten how embarrassed he was against Larry in the past two games!"

"Coach, that guy is going." Wilson was referring to Bird.

When Louis saw Bird stand up and listen to K.C's orders, Wilson's judgment was right.

Louis snorted lightly and faced his teammates, "Get up wherever you fall."

Everyone's face was gloomy, just looking at Louis.

"If I say, I'm going to press them all over again, do you have the guts to execute the plan?"

Louie believes that many will recall how their murder crunch was cracked by the Celtics at Game3.

"Coach, just say what you want us to do!" Wilson said.

"Okay..." Louie changed the lineup, "Benj, Honey, Alex, Michael (Cooper), Oak, I want to see the most violent full court press, don't care about your foul count, I There is only one principle. The Celtics can score from the free throw line, they can; the Celtics can score from free throws in any way, **** it!”

The repercussions of the Knicks' evolution caused a riot in the garden.

"LittleLu is going to use full court press again?" Cunningham laughed in surprise. "Did he forget what happened at Game 3?"

Heinsohn's sense of Louis has been greatly reduced, but he does not think that Louis is a person who remembers what to eat and not to beat.

"Perhaps it was because he remembered it that he did it."

The Celtics let Sampson rest, and Thomas, Ainge, Bird, Reggie Lewis, and Ron Harper formed an anti-audience pressing five.

K.C. Jones is worthy of being an old friend of Louie, and he knows how much Louie's revenge is.

The lineup of the Green Army is very targeted. Four of the five people on the court can dribble the ball. In turn, only two people on the Knicks side can dribble the ball.

The gap between the ball handlers can have a profound impact on the efficiency of breaking a full court press.

Louis knew that this would be the case, but he still had to carry it out.

"It's going to be a war of attrition," Tomjanovich said worriedly. "Will it work?"

"Perhaps that's the purpose of Coach Lu."

Zhao Yuanzheng glanced at Louis, who had not communicated with others.

"Coach Lu believes that the failure of Game3 is just an accident. Once the two sides form a tug of war, the Celtics will be the unfavorable party."

The referee blew the whistle to restart the game.

From the first second, Bird decided to give Wilson a look.

When he leaned against Wilson with his body, the ball came out to him. Wilson, who was behind him, suddenly and violently hit his lumbar spine, causing him to lose his center of gravity.

Before the referee could blow the whistle, Bird stood up and pushed Wilson away: "I'm going to kill you little bastard!"

Wilson's reaction wasn't as agitated as it was at Game 3. He looked at Bird indifferently, didn't escalate the conflict, and the referee called him a foul.

"Does it count as Larry pushing people?" Louie asked.

It really doesn't count, this is the most difficult point for the referee to deal with when there is a conflict. Those who challenge things should be punished, but what about those who respond to challenges? Strom's habit is to punish the one who takes the initiative.

"It's okay, coach."

Wilson clapped his hands to mobilize the emotions of his teammates.

"Keep defending! Just like the coach said, let them make free throws, okay! They want to score in other ways?" Wilson looked at Bird in front of him. "Fuck it!"

Wilson has reduced the number of collisions that may be called fouls, UU reading www.uukanshu. com increased the confrontation and used his energy, physicality and athleticism to make it difficult for Bird to stay in a certain position to catch the ball.

The Knicks-Celtics game turned into a horribly raw hand-to-hand fight.

Bird gets stuck first, and Wilson will do his best to grab it and use any part of his body to hold him back.

Others are running, grabbing positions, Stevens has played the role of a panacea, and Cooper still has the power of the first defense.

Celtics ball, sent to Ainge.

The next second, Angie was pinched by Stevens and Cooper.

All he needs to do is pass the ball to Thomas to get the Celtics defense, but he's already in a situation where he just needs to get the ball out.

It wasn't Thomas who caught the ball, it was Lewis.

Lewis was too nervous, his brain was empty, he forgot to return the ball to Thomas, and dribbled the ball through half court.

Hornacek, who appeared before him, let him

Reminds me of Thomas.

By the time he really wants to get the ball out, it's too late.

The basketball was cut off by the Knicks on its way to Thomas' palm.

That's why the Knicks' full-court press has been dubbed murder.

They are indeed defending with the mentality of slaughtering their opponents.

The Celtics' pass was interrupted and quickly hit the frontcourt, and Wilson gave the ball to Hornacek at the top of the arc.

Hornacek attempted his third 3-pointer of the night.

This time, there is!
