The Rest, Only Noise: Chapter 764 fierce competition

,!

"Isn't this what you want to see the most, Coach Lu?"

Isiah Thomas's sudden words stunned Louis for a few seconds.

1984 seemed like years to Louis, but to Thomas, it seemed like yesterday.

For many years, he has played the role of security, although he often complains, but never leaves. K.C. Jones knew what he wanted and took care of his emotions, never hurting him like Louie did.

Jim Rogers doesn't know a shit.

Chris Ford just copied Louie's system, but would it work to do what 1984 did in 1990?

These people, each in their own way, are good and bad, but none of them are Louis. They don't know exactly what Thomas wants like Louie does.

"Yes, you did as I said." Louis laughed. "You did a good job."

"But what have I got?"

"Four championships?"

Thomas sneered: "Others will only remember that Larry and Ralph led me to win the championship. Fans will only remember that I limped and lost the game in 1988. History will only remember that I lost the game in 1990." Want to leave, I'm not a real Celtic!"

Thomas is a man prone to extremes.

At this time, he was in extreme emotions and could not listen to other people's opinions and opinions.

He said that fans will only remember Bird and Sampson. This may be true, but most of the superstars who are teammates with these two cannot escape the background. But to say fans only remember him limping and losing in 1988 is bullshit.

In fact, in Game 7 of the 1988 Eastern Conference Finals, when Thomas had only one foot to exert strength, but he played like a **** of war, fans re-recognized him. His assessment changed accordingly, but it was too late.

The only legacy Thomas can leave with the Celtics is championships.

If he can't win the championship, his strong self-esteem will not be suppressed, and his huge self-consciousness will swallow his selflessness, as it is now.

"Isaiah," Louie said, looking him straight in the eye, "at least in my eyes, you are a real Celtic. Without you, there would be no Celtics in the 80s." Dynasty, you are no less important than Larry and Ralph."

In Thomas's eyes, Louis never spoke "human words".

Whenever he had the chance, Louie would attack him with the worst words.

Now, he suddenly said such words, which made Thomas panic, not knowing what kind of bad intentions Louis had.

Don't say good things a second time, after Louis finished speaking, he turned and went back.

This game also unfolded in a tense confrontation.

The Celtics in the 1990-91 season had a clear change, that is, they firmly centered on Ralph Sampson, and Bird played when he could, and rested when he couldn't.

Then, Reggie Lewis took over.

He was supposed to support the Celtics in the 1990s with Ron Harper. Unexpectedly, Harper jumped midway. Fortunately, Lewis played, otherwise the Celtics would face the pain of an aging lineup with no successors.

Lambiel is still a good center, but he has completely fallen short of the All-Star level.

Tonight, Ewing, who claims to be the one who will beat Sampson, performed well, but there is still a clear gap compared with Mr. One.

Sampson is 30 years old and has been the No. 1 center forward for six years.

Olajuwon, Ewing, David Robinson, Manning and other new-generation centers with different styles cannot replace him.

With his excellent shooting touch, Ewing scored 32 points and 12 rebounds in front of Sampson.

This data looks good at first glance, if you don't look at Sampson's data...

Sampson played 40 minutes and unstoppably scored 45 points, 19 rebounds and 6 blocks. This game, which should have been unilaterally slaughtered by the Knicks, became suspenseful, and Bird was blown away by Wilson. The facts look less glaring.

117 to 110

The Celtics lost by 7 points.

Wilson scored 36 points, and, bullying Bird's poor hand feel, put up a lot of body, and used athletic talent to suppress the opponent's performance.

"Someone said they were going to blow up Ralph. Obviously, he was bragging. Our insiders are no match for Ralph."

Kevin McHale made fun of Ewing in front of reporters.

Ewing was furious after hearing the hearing, and didn't say a word to McHale for half a month.

Wilson scored 36 points, and the team behind him made a lot of hype for it.

At the same time, this also reminded people in the Knicks team that Ewing said before that he would be the team's scoring leader. It seemed that Wilson scored more easily.

At the end of the month, the Knicks played against the Hornets.

Ewing scored 34 points, the highest in the team.

But he took 26 shots and was severely criticized by Louie.

"If you want to use a large number of shots to prove that you can become the leading scorer, then **** it, I admit that you can do it, but who can't get the data with a large number of shots? You can use the original number of shots if you have the ability. Increase the score output!"

The subsequent game became a battle between Ewing and Wilson.

Under the strict restrictions of Louis, the two of them reached a tacit agreement.

That is, the two have the same chance to make a move and compete fairly.

They set the number of shots for each other at 20, and no one can exceed this number of shots.

Of course, shots that cause fouls on offense don't count.

Even in the face of a strong enemy, they are unwilling to break this tacit agreement.

It's one of the three most outrageous things Louie has seen this year.

The other two were the unification of East and West Germany (mainly a shock) and the Nobel Peace Prize for the last Grand Chancellor of the Soviet Union. For the latter, in Louis's view, the Peace Prize is not a fun thing at all, but a sign of the times, a pillar of shame that will be recorded in history, just like Song Huizong and Song Qinzong were granted the titles of Duke of Morality and Marquis of Chonghun.

What's even more outrageous is that these three things happened consecutively within two months.

Louis has been stimulated into a nervous breakdown.

The tacit understanding between Ewing and Wilson was maintained until the game against the Trail Blazers on the eve of Thanksgiving.

As we all know, Drexler can't bear Portland's promotion of Jordan to the sky. As the top ten in the league this season, he wants to go to a team that can let him flex his muscles.

However, the Trail Blazers are a team that doesn't see rabbits or hawks.

They, like the Celtics, know very well that keeping a disgruntled second/third child will not help the championship, but they know even more that if they are not exchanged for equivalent players, there is no hope of shaking the Knicks.

Therefore, strictly speaking, all superstars who want to leave the team but cannot leave the team have to blame the Knicks.

It is they who have brought unimaginable pressure to the teams that want to compete for the championship, causing them to be cautious and cautious about any transactions.

In the game against the Trail Blazers, both Ewing and Wilson shot 20 times.

Wilson was better at making free throws. He scored 41 points with free throws, while Ewing only scored 19 points due to poor hand feel.

Opposite them, the Trail Blazers were injured in Nance, Schmitz and Ewing ran on each other, and Drexler had no choice but to watch Jordan score 61 points and let the Knicks swallow their first defeat of the season.

After the game, Louie lost his temper.

Pointing at Ewing and Wilson and scolding head-on.

"If next time you face a **** game like this, if any of you tell me to control the number of shots tightly to 20 times, I guarantee that I will let you not even take a single shot in the next game, **** it The scoring leader in the team, the scoring leader who can't help the team win is shit!"

The tacit understanding between Wilson and Ewing was broken.

Then a new tacit understanding was formed.

This new tacit understanding is to forget the existence of the tacit understanding when you meet a strong team, and play as you want.

So Louis still can't stop their pursuit of the team's scoring champion.

As long as Ewing scores more points than Wilson, the latter will definitely surpass Ewing in the next game.

But Wilson doesn't value the title. In his view, scoring beyond Ewing is just a basic response.

He doesn't want to fight.

It doesn't matter what they think. Ewing and Wilson's changed game style has affected many people.

Even the Knicks are playing at a different pace than before.

The person who is most dissatisfied with this is Reggie Miller. He is about to usher in a contract year and needs to perform well in order to negotiate a big contract with the team next summer. Still have room to play?

Miller's temper grew increasingly violent, and his relationship with Wilson began to crack.

The solution to this matter lies in Wilson.

Ewing is an insider, an insider under the system. Although he has a high tactical position of dominance, Louis does not appreciate Ewing's coping ability.

In other words, he doesn't think Ewing's coping ability is enough to keep the system flowing. Instead of letting him catch the ball in the high position and pass the ball for assists, it is better to use him as a pick-and-roll machine to create opportunities for teammates.

Therefore, Ewing is not only an obstacle to Miller's performance, but also a boost to help him achieve good performance.

As the core of the Knicks' offense, Wilson has a lot of opportunities to touch the ball every game. If you want Miller to play happily, you only need to pass the ball to Miller's position more.

As long as he is willing to do this, the problem will be solved immediately.

Once he does this, it will affect the competition with Ewing.

After Thanksgiving, in the three games at the end of November, Wilson had two triple-doubles and one quasi-triple-double, all of which were under 15 shots.

Ewing has thus become the Knicks so far the team in scoring.

So far this season ~www.mtlnovel.com~ The Knicks have 14 wins and 1 loss. Ewing averaged 28 points, 13 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 blocks per game.

Wilson, who has an obvious competitive relationship with him, ranks second in the team's scoring list with an average of 26.8 points, 7 rebounds, 7 assists, 2.4 steals and 1.3 blocks per game.

"Being the team's scoring leader has always been my goal." Ewing told the media, "I hope to influence the overall situation on both ends of the offense and defense like Ralph."

"Is this what a contemporary Bill Russell should say?" Louis couldn't help complaining.

But he couldn't stop Ewing, and he averaged only 19 shots per game.

How could he stop such efficiency? At least for now, the competition between Ewing and Wilson is beneficial to the Knicks' record, and it also allows the Knicks to find new motivation in the process of chasing four consecutive championships.

Louie's concern is that such dynamics carry impurities that can divide the team.

They have defeated other teams with such power today. Will this power also disintegrate the Knicks from the outside to the inside one day in the future?

He has no clue about it.
