The Rest, Only Noise: Chapter 568 With Your Blood 13/160

Angie made two free throws, and the Celtics lost Bird. Not only did they lose the team's first core and the leading scorer in the game so far.

Bird has the same effect on his teammates that James has on his teams.

Of course, the Celtics have two superstars, even if Bird is not on the court, they are still a strong team.

However, only when Bird was on the court, they were the king's team that beat the Lakers to rebuild.

Thomas listened to Bird's words.

It hasn't changed since Louie established the power hierarchy within the Celtics in 1984. Bird has the highest authority, followed by Sampson, and he ranks third. No matter who takes it for granted, even he himself is moved by the victories year after year and is willing to be a green leaf for them.

Four years later, Bird was promoted from "Larry Legend" to "GOAT", and Sampson was promoted from "Mr. Only" to a monster who can compete with Chamberlain, Russell, and Abdul-Jabbar for the number one center in history. And he will always be the No. 3 player of the Celtics, and no one knows how strong he is.

Now, he finds Sampson in the pick-and-roll. Give the ball to Sampson first, and Sampson passes the ball to find him.

At the basket, Thomas made a high throw and scored with a rebound.

80 to 87

The Celtics, who chased 4 points in one round, still have room to spare.

Ewing missed Sampson from the back, and the Celtics, who protected the defensive rebound, wanted to play a fast break, but the Knicks pressed hard and blocked Angie's way.

Hornacek's defense is very strong, and his prediction of the line with the ball is also accurate.

In addition, Rodman's double-team pressure.

Angie passed the ball helplessly, Thomas was about to break through the defense, Cooper fouled Thomas with a body, and knocked Thomas to the ground.

"The Knicks' fouls are unlimited, and they don't care about the opponent's life or death!"

Thomas sat on the ground and chewed his gum. The more he did this, the more motivated he became.

He held the ball on the perimeter, slammed it twice, swayed Hornacek's defense, dribbled to the basket, and passed it to Sampson.

Sampson made a fake shot and failed to catch Ewing, but with his beautiful footsteps, he turned around with a shoulder shake, stepped in, and hit the rebound at the basket.

82 to 87

The Celtics, who chased 6 points in a row, gave the fans hope, and then, Cooper made a long pass.

Wilson made a fast attack at full speed and caught the Green Army by surprise. Lambiel, who had a fierce face, elbowed his body violently when he took off.

Wilson took the hit and tossed the ball up.

The referee blew the whistle, and Wilson scored like a fast break, silencing the garden, and then booed louder to question the referee's decision of 2+1, controlling the momentum of the Celtics' counterattack.

Louis felt more and more difficult to breathe. This kind of pressure, which he knew his opponent was going to explode but could not stop, and he could only pray for his players to withstand the pressure, was beyond the control of the coaches.

Superstars start hitting unusual **** and scoring unreasonably in unreasonable ways, what can a coach do?

Louie stared at Thomas intently.

His outburst is unusual.

He is not Bird's kind of explosive who shoots every attack by himself, but strengthens his personal offense while looking for opportunities for his teammates to open up. He's playing the ball the right way, taking the pressure off Sampson and making it feel like Bird is still on the court.

Louis has long known that he is the Celtics' most underrated player.

The rapid change of direction can easily penetrate the defense of the Knicks players. Every time he makes a change of direction, he freezes his ankle.

In the four minutes that Bird was off the court, he scored 6 points and 2 assists in one breath.

All the Celtics' scores are related to him, and the restrictions placed on him by the Murder Press seem to be non-existent.

He completely stopped caring about the people around him, because he knew that if he didn't exert all his strength, it would be impossible to beat the Knicks.

89 to 95

With 6 minutes left in the fourth quarter, Louis requested a timeout.

It was one of only two timeouts left for the Knicks.

Louis replaced McHale, who had no role in offense and obviously couldn't keep up with the defense.

Replacing McHale was John Selley, who partnered with Ewing to give the Knicks two fast-moving 210-level longmen on the court.

"Let Isiah go left, except for Danny Ainge...Remember, I'm allowing any Celtics player to shoot from beyond the free throw line except Danny Ainge. Stick to the paint, if Isiah Ya dare to come in, put him down!"

Louis roared murderously.

"I'd rather see him get to the free-throw line than have him easily get into our hoop for a layup!"

The young Knicks have reason to be proud of themselves. They did something that the Lakers didn't do.

That is to let people see how strong a Thomas who has exploded to his full potential is.

Wilson yelled for the ball.

The Celtics let Harper guard him, and Wilson has proven time and time again that Harper's defense is shaky when he's in the game.

Without any tactics, Wilson retreated.

97 to 89

Thomas found that Hornacek, who was defending him, changed his strategy. He had always been a defensive way to give him space for shooting opportunities, and suddenly became close to force him to break through.

When Thomas came to the basket, the Knicks, who formed a siege, let him know what the best pocket formation in the world is like.

Thomas jumped up. His stature was too short. Facing the four people surrounded by Wilson, Rodman, Ewing, and Saley, he couldn't see his teammates if he didn't jump up.

Under the shadow of these four people, even if the Knicks made an illegal confrontation, it would be difficult for the referee to find out.

They could only see Thomas lose his balance in the air.

Thomas found the teammate who passed the ball, and the ball was given to Lambiel on the outside.

Lambiel made a three-pointer.

Hit!

Lambiel's 3-pointer was part of the Knicks' plan, because it's unrealistic to want the rest of the Celtics to get that wide open without doing anything.

The real core of this plan is to kill Thomas.

No team in this era can win a game with three-pointers alone, not even the Knicks. The Knicks stared at Angie, the most accurate three-pointer of the Celtics, but did not give them any possibility of miracles.

Lambiel made a three-pointer, which is an acceptable accident.

Sometimes, the determination to defend the throne is manifested by individual unyielding egos.

Louie was shaken when Thomas threw the ball out again about a minute later.

This time, the ball went to Sampson.

Still outside the three-point line, another Celtics elder made a three-pointer.

Hit again!

95 to 97

The Celtics caught up to 2 points, and Louis' strategy rarely worked.

"Coach, three-pointers can kill people." Sampson shouted from a distance, "You told me that yourself!"

At the moment when the Knicks' front road became blurred, Ewing took the ball in the low position again. He showed exciting responsibility. He faked to divert Sampson's attention, and suddenly broke through facing the basket, although the action was not as good as the opponent's Sharp, but really hit the Celtics' penalty area.

On the other side, Wilson slid past Harper's defense, ran to the top of the arc and shouted: "Patrick!"

Ewing passed the ball from the inside to the outside. Wilson's performance was not as dazzling as Thomas, but he was by no means a person who was beaten and kept silent.

When he got the ball, he happened to meet Thomas' rotation. A chance to play big and small, he took a contemptuous attitude towards Thomas' defense, like McGrady, and made a three-pointer.

"I can do it!"

Wilson growled.

"I can do it a few more times!"

"Yes, you can do it!" Louie yelled, "You're young, you can do anything, Benj, don't **** lose to him!"

With four minutes left in the game, Wilson took the initiative to guard Thomas.

Thomas veered indifferently, with the determination to humiliate him, went left, turned and gave him a blow with the elbow, then forced his way to the right.

This is the arrogance of a superstar, he can attack as he wants, but he underestimated Wilson's resilience.

Wilson, who didn't rest for a second in the second half, was like a perpetual motion machine, spraying the energy of young people all over his body. He caught up with Thomas, and kicked the opponent's ball out of bounds bloodily from behind him, destroying the The opponent's center of gravity.

The smiling assassin landed on one foot, and in an instant, an indescribable tingling sensation came from his foot.

"NO!!" Johnny Most yelled heartbroken, "We can't add any more casualties!"

Thomas hugged his right foot, but the referee didn't call a foul. In other words, Wilson's movements were completely in line with the rules, and Thomas himself didn't control the center of gravity.

When Bird was carried off the court, everyone felt that the Celtics were not doing well.

When Thomas sprained his foot at such a time, the breath of death enveloped Boston Garden.

How brilliant the Celtic dynasty was at its peak, and how heroic it was when it fell.

Thomas was assisted off the field with 3 minutes and 44 seconds left before the end of the game.

100 to 95

With the Knicks leading by five points, Jones made a desperate switch, putting Ainge at point guard, Harper at the two, Reggie Lewis at the three, Laimbeer and Sampson.

Louis also made substitution adjustments. Stockton replaced Hornacek, and Stevens replaced John Selley. It can be seen from the substitutions that he still wants to use murder to press.

To the world, what Louis did was a pre-announced murder.

He just wants people to clearly see how the Celtic dynasty was strangled.

The Knicks' defense was so good that the Celtics violated the serve and sent the ball in vain.

They returned to the defense in despair. Ainge, Harper, and Lewis were not what Louis cared about. The only remaining threat for the Celtics was the inside, but Lambiel committed five fouls, Sampson committed four fouls and was exhausted.

Even if they have reached a desperate situation, the Celtics' defense is still commendable. No one gave up, and no one showed the mentality of resigning to the outcome as if the victory or defeat has been divided.

A champion remains a champion until he is knocked down.

Louie has never stood on the sidelines and shouted so frequently. As long as the game is not over, as long as they do not win the game, the Celtics have not lost. Since the days of George Mikan, the dynasties that have failed have either gone in five games or been swept, while the teams that have made a dynasty have never lost a Game 6 or 7 series. —They always win key battles.

You can't help but believe in the momentum of the winner;

Nor can you fail to believe how eager those who have won it all are to defend their glory in the face of destruction.

In Louie's view, the Celtics haven't collapsed because they still want to win. They didn't give up without Bird or Thomas.

The Celtics decided to drain their last strength, they successfully defended against the Knicks' offense.

It's their turn to attack, but they no longer rely on the star's individual performance. Sampson picks and rolls for Angie, Angie passes to Harper who goes around the screen, and Harper passes to Lewis who cuts in. This is an extreme offense involving five players on the field .

Their desire, the intensity they still have at this moment, and the murderous look in their eyes have caused many people who have given up hope for them to question-will the Celtics really lose today?

The Celtics' desire for victory moved everyone, but their offense was still unsuccessful.

Determined to prove he was the best defender in the league, Ewing trotted back from the three-point line and horribly deflected the ball at its apex in the 22nd second when Lewis' ball was fully released. Grab it and take it down.

This is what happened with 3 minutes and 22 seconds left in the game.

The Celtics were not discouraged and returned to defense at full speed.

Ewing gave the ball to Stockton, and Stockton passed it to the fast-down Wilson.

With the ball in his hands, Wilson knew exactly what to do, and he had to seize the opportunity as the Celtics' hopes of winning faded. Once they miss, once they are given a chance to breathe, the victory may slip away from their hands.

No matter how regretful he was, he couldn't make the lost opportunity come back. In one unique round, Wilson dribbled the ball into the Celtics' three-man pocket formation by himself, jumped up with all his strength, like a big bird flying in the sky, trying to Lambiel, who was blocking him, was knocked head-on, and then the ball held in the palm of his hand was blasted on the basket with a terrifying force.

Lambiel may have committed his sixth personal foul just now, but the referee didn't blow his whistle.

With 3 minutes and 16 seconds left in the game, it was 102 to 95.

Isiah Thomas couldn't stand by and watch the game go to the Knicks, so he got up and asked to play.

Nobody knows what he said to Jones, but the two of them were seen arguing for a few seconds before Thomas replaced Reggie Lewis.

The people in the garden went wild, and for the first time they expressed their love for Isiah Thomas as much as Bird and Sampson.

Thomas limped on Stockton, drove straight to the left, pulled up, hit an off-balance shot over the opponent's head, and drew his foul.

He limped back toward the crowd, and it was the crowd on the sidelines who held his body and kept him from falling.

Unable to lower his waist, he missed the free throw.

The Knicks' quick counterattack made it difficult for him to return to the defensive position in time.

So Stockton went in for an empty basket, making Thomas' heroic offense ineffective.

104 to 97

Stockton found out that his knee was so sore that he couldn't get down, so he ignored him when he stood on the perimeter, and went to double-team the rest of the Celtics.

Sampson passed the ball as if he had found a life-saving straw.

Thomas, whose body seemed to be full of adrenaline, desperately used his worst offensive method to shoot a three-pointer.

"Shuh!!"

With less than two minutes left in the game, Louis could no longer think about how Thomas did these things. The Celtics played their 100%, and the Knicks also played 100%. Even the audience , are invested 100% emotionally.

Wilson wanted the ball, and Harper's off-ball defense, with the hundredth foul not called, prevented him from receiving it.

Ewing turned around to shoot and was blocked by Sampson's fingertips.

Three do not stick!

"Isaiah!!"

Thomas, who was unable to help on the defensive end, ran in front of everyone during the offense. His teammates sent a long pass. He was knocked over by Rodman who followed up on the layup. The referee was fair. When Wilson was fouled to prevent the ball from receiving the ball without blowing the whistle, Thomas, who was off balance, also didn't get the whistle.

But his layup hit!

102 to 104

At 1 minute and 22 seconds, Thomas, who scored 7 points in a row, got up from the ground. He didn't notice the photographer who was knocked down by him. He just wanted to continue his momentum. Therefore, he was completely unable to use his left foot. , Facing the cheers of the audience, he ran to the backcourt with all his strength like a lame man.

Don't they know that in this case, even if they reach the finals, they can't be the Blazers' opponents?

Of course they knew, but they just couldn't accept the outcome of failure.

The Knicks were again guarded until the last second, and Rodman found Thomas' mismatch, but his shooting ability couldn't help.

He turned over and shot, but missed the board.

Sampson, who had overdrawn himself like Thomas, stuck Ewing so that he could not move, and then took the advantage of standing up and reaching high to get the rebound.

With 59 seconds left in the game, the Celtics who got the rebound were pressed by the Knicks.

Ainge couldn't catch the ball, Thomas couldn't get away from Stockton's off-ball defense with one foot, Wilson stuck to Lewis, and it was too dangerous for Lambiel to get the ball... Sampson decided to give his all like Thomas did, He dribbles in front of Ewing, changes direction, does his best to avoid an eight-second violation, and barely reaches the frontcourt.

However, how to give the ball to the threatening person is still a problem.

Stockton gave up Thomas, even if this person has scored 7 points in a row, the Knicks still regard him as a non-threatening point.

Sampson passed the ball to Thomas on the left wing, and Wilson spun through.

10 seconds,

7 seconds,

5 seconds,

Thomas, who couldn't get a response, dribbled to the baseline, and Wilson enveloped him like night, forcing him into a negative angle.

Before the offensive clock ran out, Thomas put Wilson on his back, and then unreasonably outside the three-point line, in a way that all basketball logic can't explain clearly, he rolled over and shot a three-pointer.

Wilson's defense made him lose his center of gravity. He fell to the ground again and was unable to get up again. The fans in the front row pushed him up again with their own strength.

What about his shots? It was a perfect hollow ball with no flaws.

"The Celtics overtook the score!" Brent Musberg roared in disbelief. "We probably have to watch 10,000 mediocre games to see one special game. Dear viewers, you now What I saw was the most special of all the special basketball games in the past ten years!"

105 to 104

With 35 seconds left for the Knicks, Louie walked to the technical table and called the Knicks' last timeout tonight.

"Dell, I know it's hard for you to move anymore." Louie called out to Ellis, "but I need you to stand on the field!"

Ellis got up and said, "I can do anything!"

"No, you just need to stand on the court." Louis turned his eyes to Wilson, "Benj, you have the best bait around you, launch the right tactics to confuse the Celtics, find the best time, and kill them !"

At the end of the timeout, Louis stopped Stockton and laid out a plan for the rear.

There was no timeout, 35 seconds left in the game, the Knicks trailed by one point, Louie gave the best advice he could as a coach, and the rest was up to the players.

"Dell's foot injury is worse than Isiah's. He can hardly move. Would it be too risky to do this?" Tomjanovich asked.

Louis snorted softly, his throat was thirsty, and his eye circles were moist.

"At this moment, what do you not need to take risks?" Louis has already decided to give it a go, "Trust them."

Tomjanovich found that Louie's emotions were a little bit out of control, and he tried to make a joke: "Have a cigar, Reid will blow up, remember the first time we won here?"

The two sides returned to the court, the audience stood up, and even Bird returned to the sidelines to cheer for his teammates, and the Knicks delivered the ball smoothly.

The appearance of Dale Ellis revealed a sense of conspiracy, and the Celtics were afraid of him. From the day Louis led the Knicks to defeat the Celtics for the first time, this name has entered the blacklist of the Celtics.

In this round of the Eastern Conference finals, if it weren't for him, perhaps the Knicks would have lost.

Now that he's at it again, it looks like bait, but will they really be able to ignore Ellis?

It took five seconds for the Knicks to play the play, and then, Ewing picked and rolled Wilson, Stockton pulled away to the right, and Rodman went to the left corner where Ellis was.

A lethal-looking off-ball screen sent Ellis running beyond the left three-point line.

The Celtics' defensive center of gravity was disrupted.

Just when they hesitated to defend Ellis or Wilson.

Wilson retreated with a dribble, widening the defensive distance from Harper, and Ellis' running diverted the attention of others.

At the free-throw line, Wilson leapt up with composure and released it softly with his signature shooting motion.

Either rushing to die or rushing to live, Wilson, as Louis wished, decided by himself whether the Knicks survived this season.

That ball flew straight to the center of the basket and fell to the center of the basket with 15 seconds left in the game.

An ethereal "shua"! Perhaps the history of the league will be rewritten.

In the last 15 seconds, Jones also called out the Celtics' last timeout.

Louie replaced Dale Ellis with Michael Cooper, and gave his team a startling instruction.

The Knicks kept the court tight, but didn't stop the Celtics guard from receiving the ball.

Angie received the ball smoothly, 14 seconds, he just wanted to pass the ball, the result - Stockton knocked him down rudely.

"Beep!"

This is of course a deliberate foul. The Knicks' foul count has long been full. Fouling Angie is tantamount to sending him to the free throw line.

The Knicks are only 1 point ahead of the Celtics. Letting Angie go to free throws is tantamount to giving him the easiest scoring opportunity, and he is the player with the highest free throw percentage on the Celtics court. The seemingly self-destructive choice conveys another meaning.

Louis refused to give the Celtics the chance of the last attack that could determine the survival of the season. He wanted to get the ball back, even if he gave away the lead.

"If the Knicks lose this season, Little Lu's final arrangement will suffer endless criticism." Even if Hubie Brown hates Louis so much, he will give this decision a thumbs up, "But he is a real coach. Might never see a coach make such an impact on a series again!"

Ainge shoots 88 percent from the free-throw line, making it nearly impossible for him to miss.

The result is the same, Ainge hit two free throws.

As he made his first free throw, Louie replaced two players—Dale Ellis and Reggie Miller—for Rodman and Stevens.

· Jones remembered what happened during the last Knicks attack, how Ellis single-handedly drew everyone's attention and gave Wilson an easy chance to kill the game.

"Watch out Wilson, keep man-marking! Only man-marking!"

Yelling at the top of his lungs.

Louis on the opposite side heard the cry, and an imperceptible smile flashed on the corner of his mouth. He knew the game was over, and in 14 seconds, the series would be decided.

When everyone was standing, he sat down instead.

Louie watched Wilson be defended by the Celtics with tight man-to-man defense, and once they did, it would be difficult to defend against the high-post dynamic offense of the Knicks' system. And that's what makes Ellis and Miller scary.

Is Ellis the bait for Louis's serial trap? No, rather than saying that he is the bait, it is better to say that Benjamin Wilson's understated quasi-lore is the bait. That shot would get him the Celtics' attention in those 14 seconds. Ellis' presence faded, and Miller, who was constantly running, looked like he had a chance to execute the final shot.

Time passed quickly, and Wilson's movements heated up the garden.

They knew that this attack would determine the continuation of the dynasty.

The Celtics are the perfect stumbling block for this young Knicks team, big enough and tough enough to be difficult to get over. To challenge such a giant requires not only strength, talent, determination, courage, but also the spirit of self-sacrifice and dedication.

It was something Louie had been preparing for four years since he came to New York.

He needs a group of talented players who have to be selfless and willing to give up something to win. When all of them sacrificed themselves and gave everything to the game, things changed.

Louie painted a wonderful blueprint for them, but it was their opponents who really turned yesterday's Knicks into today's Knicks.

Wilson swerved past Harper, allowing Sampson to help, and Ewing took the opportunity to screen for Miller. When the Celtics mistakenly thought that Miller was the lore, they missed Ellis, who was standing motionless in the bottom corner. Unknowingly, they forgot about Ellis, and the moment Miller received the ball, he made a cross pass to the bottom corner-fear, trembling, fear, sluggishness-all reactions appeared in this round.

This is the most ironic thing in the world. The Celtics gave up their defense against Dell Ellis in the decisive round.

At the last second, Ellis received the ball, left corner, shot, shot, 0.6 seconds, 0.4 seconds, 0.1 seconds, the ball began to land, the game time was zero, the buzzer sounded the final sound, the whole world Every basketball fan in the world looked at the ball. Some saw that it had a straight arc, some thought it would miss the basket, some saw the Knicks rising, and some saw the Celtics weakening.

"Swish!!!!!!!"

"Dale Ellis killed the Celtic dynasty! It's over! It's over! Ladies and gentlemen! There's a new king in the East!"

The Knicks players rushed onto the court emotionally, as if they didn't know that this was just a series for the Eastern Conference championship.

They knew very well ~www.mtlnovel.com~ After this shot, they officially overcame the Celtics and advanced to the finals.

They completed the unfinished business of the Lakers and confirmed their own greatness.

No matter how great the Celtics are, they've always played greater than their opponents.

They realized the hidden energy in themselves, and this belief will stay in their hearts. Years later, people will realize that the New York Knicks were changed forever on the night of May 30, 1988.

Some people never change back to their old self.

Louis, who silently controlled the overall situation off the court, with tears in his eyes, looked at his chief assistant coach: "Rudy, I don't need a cigar."

"I just want to..." He wiped his uncontrollable tears, "I just want to have a sip of Coke."
