The Rest, Only Noise: Chapter 532 unconscious domination
Since 1984, the Lakers have lost to the Celtics in four consecutive finals.
The Celtics won four consecutive championships, with the blood of Los Angeles under their feet, thus achieving Boston's nine-game winning streak against Los Angeles in the Finals.
The tragedies from the Baylor and West eras continued into the late 1980s.
In the past four years, Bird has won three FMVPs and Sampson has won one.
However, if you want to ask the Lakers, or Lakers fans, who they are most afraid of in the Celtics, their answer is definitely not Bird.
But Sampson.
Players like Bird are good at all skills, but the limitations of their physical talents allow them to be "handled" to a certain extent.
Just look at Bird's two juniors, Dirk Nowitzki (too many) and Jokic (2021), both of whom played disgraceful series at their peak, performed badly, and lacked their usual strength .
The same is true for Bird. Although he won three FMVPs, a considerable number of fans believe that the 1987 FMVP should also be given to Sampson.
The ownership of FMVP can no longer be changed, but the Lakers' fear of Sampson is increasing every year.
Kareem Kareem was one of their biggest assets and the key to the Lakers' dominance of the Western Conference in the 80s.
Entering the finals, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar should also be a strong point, just like Tim Duncan in 2013-15. The body structure of this kind of person is different from other people. If you treat him like an old man, he will definitely kick your **** to make you know that "your uncle is your uncle after all".
But in front of Sampson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar has no advantage.
In the 1984 Finals, Sampson swallowed the Lakers penalty area and established himself as the number one center in the arena. In the 1985 Finals, Bird injured his fist with a punch in the bar. It seems that the number one small forward in history will always hurt himself for some brain-dead things. That was also the closest the Lakers came to defeating the Celtics in the four-year battle. As a result, the Lakers were dominated by Sampson in Game 6 with two match points in hand, and collapsed in the tiebreaker. Sampson won the first FMVP of his career.
In the next two years, the Lakers could still reach the finals. Kareem's aging, Wilkins' desire for the ball, and Sampson's upward momentum every year made the finals unfair.
Sampson has become a nightmare for Lakers fans. Hearing his name, children in Los Angeles dare not cry at night.
After 1985, Sampson, who won the FMVP, was not only not complacent at his original level, but became friends with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar because of a chance.
He asked Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for advice on how to delay aging, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar recommended him to practice yoga. This incident made Pat Riley extremely angry.
Since then, Sampson has learned to play with 6-7 power under normal circumstances.
The usual yoga training has improved his body balance and flexibility, which miraculously allowed him to escape the curse of the 2.2-meter inside line that will not last long. He has remained healthy and has never suffered a serious injury.
Both static talent and dynamic talent are just part of a player's physical talent.
Physical durability, this intangible talent invisible to the naked eye, is the most important thing for superstars.
So, you can also look at it this way. Sampson averaged 29+11+5+3 blocks per game with only six or seven points in the regular season. Together with Thomas, the Celtics had the league's first record and locked This year's regular season MVP.
This is the No. 1 center, unmatched.
McHale hit him head-on and taunted him. The Knicks' pocket formation made Sampson miss the pass, and the process of chasing Miller woke him up.
Watching Sampson's gradually changing state, Louis was uneasy.
"Kevin will be blown away by him, right?!" Tomjanovich seemed to foresee the future.
Louie said pessimistically: "It's not Kevin we should be worried about."
Don't look at McHale's carelessness on weekdays, he also knows the seriousness of the problem, and he knows how strong Sampson is.
So the Knicks serve again, and he no longer asks for a position. He knew that Sampson must really want to defend him, and he couldn't give the opponent a chance.
McHale made a pick-and-roll, Ewing followed, Hornacek moved with the ball, and Thomas really chose to go around and defend instead of squeezing the pick-and-roll.
Hornacek remembered Louis' order, and a momentary gap had appeared.
Hornacek stopped his shot decisively, and a long shot one step inside the three-point line flew out of his palm.
"Shua!"
"That's right, just shoot like this!" Louie screamed, "Isiah, my guard is not like you, there is no difference between shooting so big and giving points!"
Thomas ignored Louis.
The Celtics' offense shifted to the inside again.
Sampson fiercely seized the low post, and Ewing, who defended alone from behind, struggled.
He wanted to push Sampson out of where he was, but didn't have enough strength.
The teammate passed the ball in, and Sampson did what McHale singled him out just now—hitting his elbow on Ewing while hitting his back, followed up with a small movement of shaking his shoulders, and then turned left and turned back.
Ewing's body was frozen in place by Sampson.
"Shua!"
This time, the Knicks' defense was too late to keep up.
Sampson moves too fast!
"Will Patrick bear the trouble Kevin caused?" Zhao Yuanzheng smiled wryly.
Louis has no dissatisfaction with this matter: "Who made him a center forward?"
Seconds later, Hornacek called for the pick-and-roll again.
The Celtics remember to eat and play. If Hornacek has the ability to catch the pick-and-roll gap and pull up the shot, he cannot be given a chance.
Jones yells, "Take plan number two!"
Plan No. 2?
Louie hesitated for a moment, and Hornacek's pick-and-roll went into action.
The so-called No. 2 plan is to pinch the ball holder.
If they used this method to guard Stockton, they would be destroyed one by one by his passing.
Hornacek seemed different to Stockton in their eyes.
Hornacek's vision is indeed not as good as Stockton, but the Knicks' offense is not a display.
McHale decisively split the ball horizontally, and Hornacek scored the ball.
McHale dribbled the ball to the Celtics basket as an insider, Lambiel assisted in the defense, and he threw the ball to the basket casually.
Missed, the position was also stuck by Lambir.
If there is no complete offensive plan, McHale will not shoot so casually. From the moment Lambiel came to help defend him, the Celtics' defense was doomed to fail.
Ewing was like a meteor falling from the sky, grabbing the orange ball, and scoring in an instant.
He hung on the rim and roared like a dehumanized beast.
"He said he was like an orangutan when he was playing. This is obviously a vivid compliment. He insisted that I was racially discriminatory. Is this person sick? (Chinese Louis and Zhao Yuanzheng complained.
Ewing, who made the dunk, ran along the baseline and wanted to high-five Louie.
Zhao Yuanzheng watched Louis stretch out his hand to pat Ewing's palm, "Well played, Patrick!"
8 to 14
"Wow, after the timeout, the Knicks' offense really picked up!" Dick Stockton laughed, "The Knicks games I commented on, if not 100, have 50 games. In my impression , every time littlelu requests a pause, it seems to have an effect."
Heinsohn said proudly: "So he will be regarded as the best coach in the league. Reporters may be stupid, but players know who has real talents, because they are the ones who play under command."
Billy Cunningham looked sullen and said nothing.
If the camera is aimed at him at this time, the audience will definitely be scared.
"Billy, what do you think?" Heinsohn was a pure slut. He didn't want Cunningham to play dead to avoid this wave, and then jump out and throw trouble when the Knicks lost power.
"Ah, this matter, that is... I agree with what you said..." Cunningham was forced to express his opinion.
At the same time, Sampson's exquisite weakside fake screen opened to catch a pass from Bird and drove to the basket.
Ewing failed to assist in the defense, and was blocked by Sampson with an overhanded basket, causing his foul.
To make matters worse, Ewing's straight-up defense was regarded as a foul by the referee.
The whistle sounded, and it turned out to be a 2+1.
"I'll blow your **** banana peel!" (Chinese)
Louie was rude on the spot, and the referee who blew the whistle, Nick Systrom asked: "What did you say?"
"You can't brag like that! This is the playoffs, and the game needs intensity!" Isn't this **** a pig farm killer in Louis' impression? Why did he become an "ordinary referee" today and blow the **** home whistle?
Bribed by Auerbach?
Louis didn't have time to think about it, the referee whistled, Ewing fouled, and Sampson got 2+1.
17 to 8
What the Knicks need is a response.
The difference is already 9 points. If the next goal is missed and the Celtics counterattack, the point difference will be in double digits.
Sampson's long arm wrapped around McHale.
Even if McHale wanted to attack the ball, it would be difficult.
He can no longer ask for a seat normally.
Sampson's block prevents McHale from receiving the ball, while maintaining contact, giving confrontation, and using his size to affect the ball.
This is a perfect low-post and half-round forward defense. Louis let Sampson learn and practice bit by bit according to the video.
Even Louis himself didn't expect that it was the foundation laid in those years that allowed Sampson to reach the height he is today.
He is an epoch-making insider, sometimes not like an insider at all, but in the final analysis, he is always an insider, and he can play like an insider.
When Bird couldn't go to the low post to defend the power forward, he returned to the inside position, using the inside method, so that the most stable inside offensive point of the Knicks couldn't even touch the ball.
The Knicks used a high-post dynamic offense, and Bird couldn't keep up with Miller.
Before getting rid of Bird and getting open ~www.mtlnovel.com~ Miller has already been given a lot of attention by the Celtics.
Their physical confrontation was like a man and woman fighting naked on the bed, wishing to entertain every muscle in his body.
After such a struggle, in the Eastern Conference finals, Miller was the first to show discomfort in a championship-level game.
The perfect shooting opportunity, he made a three-point shot.
Miller took a big breath, with deep anxiety and worry on his expression. He is afraid that his teammates will be disappointed, and he is also afraid that he will hinder the team. His competitive psychology and strong personality make him not allow himself to pull his hips on such a big stage.
But he has never met such a strong team in his life.
Compared with the Celtics in the playoffs, the Celtics in the regular season are like playing house.
That kind of pressure and the intensity with which a shooter can truly misfire has subconsciously dominated Miller's touch.
