The Rest, Only Noise

Louis took the blame with great reluctance.

If a Knicks game involves a fight—usually a high-probability event—people who don't watch the game assume the Knicks are the one in trouble.

However, the conscience of heaven and earth, it is clear that the bulls who are rushing to fight.

Even if it is broken, it is not much to believe that the Knicks are innocent.

After all, the order of the game is to be restored, and Barkley was ejected. As he walked down the aisle, a fan threw something at him. He turned his head back and spit back.

"If you dare to appear in front of me, I will definitely beat you into the ICU!" Barkley exclaimed. .

After that, both sides returned to normal.

The bulls did not take advantage of the uproar. Although the gang fight between the two sides lasted for six or seven minutes, no one was injured.

In the words of referee Jack O'Donnell: "This conflict should never have happened."

O'Donnell found that Louie's face was not good-looking, and he deeply understood the idea of ​​this young coach.

Anyone who is happily playing the game at home, developing normally, and winning the opponent by more than 20 points is not a problem. As a result, people will disgust you even if they know they are losing. If you do this, the foreign media will not think that the Bulls are at fault. After all, it is the New York gang who are fighting with them.

Gangsters, do you know the gold content of these two words?

Are these bandits still called bandits if they don't fight?

However, coaches in the industry generally believe that the Knicks don't fight very much, they are just used to using beyond the ordinary level of physical confrontation to force opponents to change their style of play.

Now, it doesn't matter what you say.

Fortunately, after the game, the two sides did not clash again.

123 to 94

Not surprisingly, the Knicks beat the Bulls with 29 points.

The league's vice president of operations and disciplinary commissioner, Rod Thorn, said after watching the footage Friday morning that it was his worst game in his four years as the NBA's chief disciplinary commissioner.

Ultimately, Barkley and Bannister were fined $30,000.

Ewing, Rodman, Selly, Ainge, Stevens, Doug West, Kemp... 13 people on the Knicks activation list, 8 people were fined $10,000, others Participants were also fined $3,000.

Ultimately, the conflict resulted in a $170,000 fine, the most in league history.

In addition, Barkley, Bannister, Rodman, Ewing were suspended for one game.

Nonetheless, Barkley, who has been known as a troublemaker since his debut, said he was not afraid.

"Look, I never regret what I've done, I'm making $3 million a year (it's only $2.6 million), so being fined $30,000 isn't worth it to me."

Before tonight, Barkley had been fined $35,000 by the league this season.

Now being fined $30,000, and being suspended for another game will cost you another $30,000, which adds up to a loss of nearly 100,000.

But Sir Charles had no remorse.

The Bulls are currently ranked 10th in the Eastern Conference, and even if they have Barkley, they will have difficulties to improve their rankings.

So for many looking forward to a playoff reunion between the Knicks and the Bulls, it's going to be tough.

After a few days, public opinion really put the Knicks on fire.

What a slap doesn't make a slap, what a fly doesn't bite a seamless egg, what only one side wants to fight can't fight - the last argument comes from the "Boston Globe".

After listening to this, Louie felt unbearable and publicly replied: "For some imbecile reporters who think 'only one party wants to fight can't fight', I hope he can stand up and explain publicly why he thinks so. What is a fight? ?Fights are the result of one party losing their minds and resorting to violence. No matter where, if one party wants to fight, the other party can only choose to run away or fight. Why do some people not blame those who are provoking the trouble, but instead The person who forced the counter-attack pointed at me?"

Unexpectedly, Louis fell into a protracted debate because of this.

The Boston press was more than happy to draw attention by arguing with Louie.

In order to maintain the image of the club and the players, Louis had to continue to come forward.

Meanwhile, the Knicks have three more games to play before the All-Star break.

On February 5th against the Magic, the Knicks easily won, Benjamin Wilson made a big show, scored 45 points, 11 rebounds and 8 assists.

Perhaps this game was too powerful, and it was only one day later that they played magic back to back.

The Knicks are in a tough fight.

This new army is full of energy, is in good shape at home, and has the blessing of home whistle.

The Knicks struggled for a long time, but were not able to establish a victory.

In the last minute, Wilson sprained his calf. Fortunately, Miller's three-pointer was assisted by a god, and he made consecutive shots before winning the game.

After this campaign, the Knicks won 38 wins and 8 losses, and their record was not as good as the Lakers in the West, but they ranked first in the East without any suspense.

The eastern part of this year has not changed much compared to a few years ago.

Mainly the rise of the Miami Heat.

Miami's momentum is fierce, and it is currently ranked third in the East, only 3 games away from the Pistons.

With nearly half of the regular season schedule, in theory, they not only have the opportunity to surpass the Pistons, but even wrestle with the Knicks.

Before the arrival of the All-Star weekend, the Knicks opponent is the Heat.

This year's All-Star Game, the Heat have three selected.

Newcomers Hank Gaithers and Maurice Cheeks were selected for the main game, and another veteran, Petrovic, participated in the three-point contest.

In this game, Louie didn't let Wilson play because he sprained his calf in the last game.

With the holiday approaching, and without Wilson, a humanoid stimulant, the Knicks did not show any anger in front of the Heat.

At first, Louis wanted to save, but the Heat made more and more three-pointers, and the Knicks' momentum of chasing points was constantly interrupted.

The Knicks' players are like one last lesson before a vacation.

Not many can concentrate.

Louie didn't get angry about it, he understood the pressure on this group of people.

Since the election of Wilson in 1986, the Knicks have been a championship team. They have been the first echelon for four consecutive years and have won two consecutive championships. How many teams can't continue after winning the first championship? The list is longer than you might think①.

Therefore, in the second half, Louis made frequent substitutions.

While he can't keep his players motivated tonight, he can put someone on the court who wants to win.

The result was still valid. They dragged the game to the fourth quarter. If it wasn't for Gaithers grabbing offensive rebounds at the last minute to complete the tip-off, perhaps the Knicks would have won the game back with the advantage of the depth of the lineup.

Gaithers looks like a full-fledged Stoudemire. If there is no heart problem, Louie believes that he will occupy the top ten or even the top five seats in the league year-round after entering his prime.

It's hard to judge him now.

Although the Heat found the best doctor for him and controlled his condition with the best medicine, who can guarantee that he will not suddenly run into trouble?

Until the alarm goes off, any predictions about Gaithers must be marked with an X or a question mark.

That night, Louis came home and received a message from Lewis Shafir.

"Coach Lu, I didn't expect us to beat you guys. I'm so excited, but I won't be proud... oh hoo hoo hoo~~~!"

Louie didn’t know what to say. Strictly speaking, he created this team. Six of the top eight players in the Heat’s current core lineup are directly related to him.

He wasn't sad to lose to such a team.

For him, it was like losing to himself, big to small, nothing to be sad about.

Shafir's joy is understandable. With the Heat's current record and upward momentum, his contract will definitely be renewed, and, most likely, a long-term contract.

In this way, even if he has a firm foothold in this circle, can't he leave a message to express his joy and sneer?

Finally, he called Louie to express his thanks in a personal way~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and hope that the two sides can have more cooperation in the future.

"If you have to call us every time you win, we will never have any more cooperation."

"Don't, Coach Lu, am I not too happy? Besides, the better Miami develops, the more it can prove your talent? I think a competitive Heat will be helpful to New York. "

"What help?"

"If you're invincible in the East, the players will be proud and slack and lose a lot of games like tonight that they shouldn't."

Louis had to agree with Shafir's words, but he was still unhappy. After winning a game, he would re-enact the "Hohohoho, now I have a submachine gun" moment (2), if he gets into the second round of the playoffs in the future , you can't celebrate with the prostate brake when you slide down the slide?

(1) 67 Philadelphia, 71 Bucks, 75 Warriors, 77 Blazers, 79 SuperSonics, 81 Lakers, the total runner-up who only persisted for one year is not listed.

(2) In the plot of the first part of "Die Hard", the male protagonist kills the first bad guy to get the submachine gun and sends a letter to the bad guy group "Hohohoho, now I have a submachine gun".
