The Rest, Only Noise: Chapter 370 Great and Profound 10/135
At 3 minutes and 58 seconds, the Knicks have the ball.
Stockton dribbled the ball, always poised and scolded Fang Qiu, and he was rarely nervous.
They really wanted to win this game, for the coach, for Oakley, for themselves, for an inexplicable excitement.
All Antoine Kyle can do is attack, which is why Louis replaced him.
So Stockton didn't hesitate, watching him, passing the ball.
Kyle is good at back play and can hit mid-range from any position.
He was facing Bill Walton when the ball flew into his hands.
If the Knicks continue to play the full court, K.C. Jones may let Bird play power forward because Walton can't keep up with the intensity of the Knicks in the third quarter.
Kyle takes the ball, and he's grateful for Louie, another player to be scooped from the depths of his home team's bench.
Compared to the Pistons, the Knicks are not a strong team, but here, he can deliver his value.
Kyle shrugged and turned to the left for a jumper.
Everyone is looking at the ball, shuh!
3:41, 112 to 106
"Come on, come on, my boys!"
Louis muttered.
"Good job, keep them off!"
A.C. Green broke his heart and got up emotionally and shouted loudly.
"Defend that white man!" Bol yelled, pointing at Bird.
At this time, it was Tony Campbell who was on defense. He was not Bird's opponent. As the Knicks' scoring champion, he was the Celtics' key target.
In fact, he knows his own weight. The number of scoring champions in the team is his own, but the team complains that he plays too many singles at most, and there is no other way to say it.
At the moment his teammates only need him to guard Bird a ball, so difficult, so unattainable.
He stretched his hand forward as Bird jumped, and hit Larry Legend's arm hard.
Snapped!
It was so powerful that Bird couldn't throw the ball.
"Beep!"
"You **** ￥%...#%..." Bird angrily stepped forward and pushed him away.
Campbell stepped back and raised his hand expressionlessly.
This is his sixth personal foul, tonight, he had 16 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists.
"Coach, I'm resting." Alex Stevens put down his towel and walked over to Louis to apply.
Louie nodded and said: "Okay, replace Tony, from now on, you will guard Larry Bird!"
With 3 minutes and 26 seconds left in the game, Bird went to the free throw line.
"You think this can stun me?" Bird arrogantly used his left hand to free throws.
The challenge the Knicks brought tonight, like the Lakers in last year's Finals, pushed the Celtics to a dead end.
It stands to reason that in a regular season, if you lose, you will lose, you don't have to work hard.
But the opposing emotions of the two sides, the feeling of hatred for each other, was accumulated after three quarters of the game.
The Knicks want to win no matter what, the Celtics don't want to lose no matter what.
Bird decided to dominate the game in superstar fashion.
The two left-hand free throws were all hit.
108 to 112
Stockton raised his hand to signal the most certain airside play.
However, the Celtics already know this tactic well, and they won't let any Knicks players cut inside to their heart's content.
The Celtics' defense is full of aggression.
The Knicks' airside tactic failed, and the ball came to Ewing.
He couldn't handle it from beyond the three-point line, and saw Kyle grab the ball from the middle elbow.
In the final seconds, Ewing passed the ball.
Kyle swung a shot to the left, swung a shot to the right, and the third action was to turn to the left and feint, and this time, the first inside line of the league was shaken up.
His false and real tentative steps swayed Sampson behind him along the time difference, but there was still a difficulty in front of him, and that was Wharton.
In the end, Kyle's fallback jumper hit the board, causing his teammates to scream frantically.
114 to 108
3 minutes 02 seconds
In a fit of rage, Bird cut out a three-pointer from the top of the arc to catch the ball. It seemed stable and ruthless, but the arc was a little less interesting and missed.
This time, it scared the hearts of many Knicks players.
However, Sampson won over Ewing in the process of being stuck and grabbed the offensive rebound.
He's going to turn left!
Louie, who watched him grow from Sampson's entry into the league, judged Sampson's offense. What about Ewing? Has he judged it?
The situation was so close that Louie couldn't remind him, Sampson turned left and hooked, blocking the gap between Ewing and Sampson because they caught and wasted limited time.
Thankfully, Ewing still has time.
If it was him at the beginning of the season, he would not be able to grasp this moment.
Sampson's hook was supposed to be foolproof, and Ewing had to do three things to block his ball. Get close to the body, put pressure on him to keep him from getting up completely, and then jump up with all his strength to block Sampson's hook.
Every time, he did it, and Sampson's hook was blocked in front of him.
The ball was about to fly to the outside world, and the Celtics still had a little time, but Stevens' flying save forced the ball back.
2 minutes 40 seconds
The Knicks took another 18 seconds to run tactics, and Ewing's dunk after the empty cut was also blocked by Sampson.
2 minutes 22 seconds
The more this is the case, the more insane, Ewing will find a way to make up for what he lost on the offensive end.
He doesn't look like he's playing a high-intensity game for 30 minutes.
Like a beast, he ran back and forth, attacking in all directions, defeating the Celtics' calculus of attacking the inside.
They have to move the ball out.
When Bird got the ball, he was attacked by three people.
He passed the ball to John Long, and Ewing's rotation was in place.
Then, in the bottom corner, Thomas received a pass.
There was no time, he had to do it.
He, who has never practiced a corner three-pointer, made a key three-pointer.
"Shh!"
"In a moment like this, Isiah Thomas did his job and hit the first corner 3 of the season!"
111 to 114
1 minute 59 seconds
The Knicks didn't give the Celtics the slightest chance to relax.
Twenty seconds after Thomas miraculously scored a three-pointer from the corner, Dale Ellis, with the team's trust, ran a flawless Exchange Ricky tactic that went beyond the left-wing three-point line.
The Celtics' back-up defense is like a desperado. His ball is shot half a second ago, and the interference arrives half a second later.
"Shh!"
Emotions were lifted, and the Garden crowd booed every second of the Knicks possession and screamed at every Celtics goal.
117 to 111
1 minute 39 seconds
You could say that time is on the Knicks' side.
When Bird ran from the backcourt to the frontcourt, he suddenly turned his head and shouted to Louis: "I will kill you personally!"
"Come on, Larry!" Louie yelled, laughing. "Come on!"
Bird first had to solve the problem of how to get rid of Stevens after his physical strength declined.
Stevens picked this moment wisely, making those defensive moves that the refs are sure to call.
Handing over to the players at the last minute is a consensus.
Especially in a game that is bound to become a classic, the referees are all old rivers and lakes, and they don't want to let themselves affect the process of the legendary battle.
Bird, who claimed to slaughter the Knicks, cleverly used Sampson's cover 3 seconds before the attack time ran out and ran out of the left corner three-point line.
Thomas' ball arrived just in time.
In the last second, Ewing's defense could not be said to be untimely. He had already come to Bird. If Bird hadn't adjusted his shooting arc to the highest point, he would have been blocked.
With such a high arc, it feels like it will hit the roof of the garden.
However, it doesn't.
It tumbled until the attack time ran out, the red light on the rim came on, and it landed at the rim.
114 to 117
1 minute 15 seconds
Ewing's dunk brought the Knicks to 119 points.
58 seconds
114 to 119
Suddenly, Stockton made the decision to push the Celtics frontcourt at a moment like this.
It was a bold and unexpected decision for Louis.
He didn't interfere. At this time, there is not much the coach can do, and the players must be given freedom.
It turned out that this was a wrong decision. At this time, the Knicks had no physical strength to stop Isiah Thomas, who was running at full speed.
Thomas ran from the backcourt at a speed that no one could match.
When he catches the ball and hits the frontcourt, throwing everyone at least three positions away, facing the empty basket, he jumps up and dunks with both hands.
The atmosphere in the garden was as if someone had shot a bomb inside.
As a guest here, Louie has an illusion similar to tinnitus.
116 to 119
53 seconds
Louie asked for a time-out.
"Patrick, handle the ball," Louie said. "Play SpreadCenter."
Apart from this, Louis didn't say much more.
Let Ewing handle the ball, not let him complete the attack, but let him lead the attack.
Louie intends to train him to play the key ball. In this tactic of SpreadCenter, the center can get the ball in the high post and the low post. In the low post, it is basically a back play. Pay attention to the teammates who steal the back door and pass or attack the center's thoughts. The high position is much more complicated, and Louie is to arrange Ewing to go to the high position to get the ball.
Ewing in the high post can shoot by himself, pass the ball to the shooter and cover, pass the ball to teammates who cut in, lob the ball inside, and hit the ground for players who cut in from the flank. There are a lot of changes, and it all depends on the players themselves.
Sometimes, the process is tortuous and the result is ironic.
The Celtics' defense is so tight that Ewing can't shoot, can't give a hand to a teammate, can't give a shooter, can't hang inside. They blocked so many complicated moves, except for Stevens' empty cut.
Why is the result ironic? Because, when Ewing's flawless pass was sent to Stevens, his rough touch and hand work, even when Sampson couldn't take off and could only bluff, he missed the layup.
The moment the ball rolled out of the hoop, the fans in the garden seemed to have been given a successful CPR.
Bird let out a roar, making K.C put down his plan to call a timeout.
33 seconds, 3 points difference.
The Celtics need a 3-pointer.
"Let them break through, three points can't be given! Three points can't be given!" Louie shouted.
The Celtics' extreme space comes into play at this time.
Thomas held the ball at the top of the arc, and Bird, Sampson, Laimbeer, and Long pulled away.
This is their No. 3 system, the offensive system that Louie set up and tailor-made for Thomas.
However, the Celtics do not need 2 points.
So Thomas asked his teammates to cover. Since the other four except Thomas had one-handed three-pointers, the threat of everyone's pick-and-roll was huge.
Multiple pick-and-rolls at crucial moments, methodical, and the defending champion determined to drag the game into overtime.
Once in overtime, with their experience and form, the Knicks won't be able to compete.
This is as complicated as the movement of NCAA tactics. The players of the Knicks have done it to the extreme. They rotate, switch positions, and make up defenses. They don’t miss a single one for 11 seconds.
However, Sampson received a pass from Thomas, feinted, and fired Ewing.
His goal is not to shoot, but to shake Ewing up and pass the pick-and-roll to Bird next to him. Bird, who received the ball, jumped one meter next to Sampson. Ewing wanted to defend but it was too late.
The wildest storm is coming,
Bird's three-pointer in desperation was thrown from the outside.
"boom!"
"Backboard!!"
"Get the rebound!"
The long rebound that flew out was grabbed by Laimbeer. He knew there was still time, and he saw John Lang's vacancy.
He passed the ball to Long.
The bottom corner, Lang's most accurate point.
His three-pointer flew out, once again making the opponents feel like they were in an ice cave, daring to breathe.
Two opportunities in a row, luck seems to be a little worse than them, and the three-pointer pops out of the basket again.
However, when Ewing came out to make up the defense, Kyle was one of the worst rebounding insiders in the league, and the Celtics played a dominant rebounding performance.
Bird flew to grab the second offensive rebound and dribbled out of the 3-point line himself.
Only 25 seconds left.
They decided to press time to the end.
Louie grabbed Tomjanovich's arm hard. He has won the championship, and he has never been so nervous. The Celtics pass the ball, move the ball, cooperate, and deliberately waste time. They believe in themselves, even if they lose two consecutive games. Record three points, and you are not afraid to shoot the third three points.
They have reasons to believe in themselves, this team, after a lot of hard work, has three of the best four players in the league, and as long as they don't want to, they won't lose to any team.
They didn't want to lose to Louie's team because they respected Louie but were angry that Louie dumped them to New York, and every time they played against the Knicks, they had to play their best.
That's it, when the attack time runs out to the last few seconds.
Bird threw an elbow and hit Stevens in the face, completely getting rid of him, how can the enemy tonight expect the referee to call him an offensive foul? He caught the ball from his teammates, turned to shoot, and immediately saw a face full of madness with a nosebleed.
At that moment, he adjusted his shooting gesture, and the moment he shot, the force increased.
The attack time reached 0 seconds, Bird's three-pointer leaped over everyone's heads, hit the rebound, and bounced into the basket!
"@!#%@%#@￥…"
"Oh la la la la la la ~~~~ in!!"
Only one second left, or, to be more precise, less than one second.
Because the current timer can not display small digits.
"Rudy, give me that thing."
"That thing?"
Louis sullenly said, "You know what it is."
After all, he walked to the technical table and applied for the Knicks' last timeout of the night.
Louie was sweating like he was in a sauna.
His players all came down, and the fans near them were booing loudly, trying to interfere with Louie's lore shot.
Louie put the tactical board on the ground, "There is no time, we must take risks!"
"Next, we have to play this tactic. Although we have never practiced it, since we are the Knicks, we should play this tactic. This is the crystallization of wisdom left by the great legends of the Knicks team history. It couldn't be more appropriate to end this game."
Louis quickly drew a tactic and told how to play.
On this particular night, they were numb and not shocked by anything.
"As I said, I'm eager to beat Celtic. I'm sure you'll do it, and I hope you don't just play with anger, but in awe of our opponents, who deserve our respect. Now, you've managed to turn the garden into a It's purgatory. I think you know very well that if we go to overtime, we will lose for sure, and this game has to end in regular time."
"I've seen anger in you, I've seen wisdom in your games, I've seen desire in all four quarters, in those countless possessions, I've never been more proud of you. Now, Boston has us Trapped in the center of the storm, if you want to be like them, great and profound beings, if you want, do it for all to see."
On the final offense of the game, Louie replaced Ewing, Stockton, Ellis, Mario Eli and Tyrone Corbin.
It was Corbin who was in charge of passing the ball.
But fans were confused when the Knicks' four receivers huddled together.
"Starburst tactics!?"
Tom Heinsohn called out.
"Rudy!" Louie shouted.
Tomjanovich reluctantly took out a Cuban cigar that had been cut, and also took out the lighter that came with the humidor.
"Do you have to do this?"
"I have to!"
"God, what did I see, LittleLu was standing on the sidelines, ready to light a cigar!"
Boo! Boo! The boos from all sides swept in.
Louie doesn't care if he humiliates the Celtics and Greens supporters~www.mtlnovel.com~ He wants to show New York's will to win.
When Tomjanovich lit Louie's cigar with a lighter, the Knicks' star burst spread out in four directions at the moment the referee's whistle blew.
Patrick Ewing pretended to run to his shooting sweet spot, suddenly reversed his direction like a dribbling on a football field, swayed Sampson aside, ran full speed to the Celtics' hoop, shouted Said: "I'm here!"
San Antonio's No. 2 giveaway, Tyrone Corbin threw the ball into the Celtics' box.
Ewing jumped up, King Kong from Jamaica, the highest-level work of Georgetown De La Hoya's paranoid, grabbing teammates' cannonballs from the touchline with unyielding will. He roared with all his might, with all the emotion and power, and scored the final goal of the game in the most incredible way!
Celtics players clasped their heads, the audience in the Garden howled angrily, the commentator was muffled by the boos of the court, and when Ewing landed, his teammates fell to the ground, and everyone rushed over.
With a cigar in his hand, Louis raised his head and looked at the flag of glory above, spitting out a circle of white mist.
