The Rest, Only Noise: Chapter 918 selfless heart
,!
The Knicks were united up and down, and the game ushered in a turning point.
The Hornets took only one quarter of the game from leading to falling behind.
In the fourth quarter, the silent assassin Dale Ellis hit consecutive three-pointers.
It was as if he had been possessed by some indescribable evil spirit, and he shot in as he wished.
Louie thought about how he faced Bird in the 1988 Eastern Conference Finals.
This kind of touch comes with an unstoppable scoring momentum, which is rare, but as long as it comes, magical things will happen.
It's a pity that Ellis' teammates are too young. They don't know how rare such a shooter is, let alone passing the ball to Ellis is their only chance to win the game.
Young people are always like this, thinking that the world is in their own hands.
In the first three minutes of the fourth quarter, Ellis hit 4 consecutive three-pointers.
With that momentum, Louis wouldn't be surprised if he hit 10 three-pointers in a single quarter.
But suddenly, Ellis' teammates stopped passing the ball. They figured Ellis had done enough -- the 3-point rain from Ellis helped the Hornets close to two points -- and they wanted to take advantage of the remaining opportunities.
The young man took Ellis aside as a matter of course.
Big Mom wants to play singles, Lai Si wants to shoot three-pointers...
They each want something.
Head coach Alan Bristow called a timeout to get them to pass the ball to Ellis.
The tactics are very simple. Big Mom only needs to come to a high position to make an off-ball screen for Ellis. It doesn't need to be of high quality, just hang people up a little bit.
Just for this matter, the aunt can do 10 points but only 1 point of effort.
Since Bennett's "walking pick and roll.gif", Louis has not seen such a loose pick and roll by an NBA player for a long time.
Is this a pick and roll? This is clearly walking over to tell Ellis, "Don't let Mom want to shoot, stand at the bottom corner to open up space for Xiaoye."
Now Louie knows why Thomas only stayed for one season before realizing that it was better to start from scratch than to start from scratch.
The Hornets and the stunned young people have proved with practical actions what it means to be insufficient and resourceful.
Ellis gave up his running position and let the young man perform.
Bristol lost control of them.
Although it has not yet reached the stage of "who the **** are you", the trend of adopting a son and becoming a father is already very clear.
In this way, Ellis did not get another chance to make a call until the end of the game.
Bristol's indulgence of the young has had disastrous consequences.
The Hornets, who had a chance to beat the Knicks, ended up being led by the young people and were defeated by the Knicks by 17 points.
The Hornets fans who are eager to see the youth storm only see the youth sandstorm tonight.
"From being down by 2 points to being down by 17 points, it took only nine minutes. What happened in the last nine minutes of this game?"
Dale Ellis reluctantly walked up to Louie and said bluntly that he missed playing in New York.
"Coach, I didn't have a good day in Charlotte," Ellis said.
Alice's words made Louis feel tight.
Ellis made great contributions to the Knicks' first championship in the 1980s, but was selected by the Hornets in the expansion draft
The Knicks lost the best two on the team for no gain.
The outside world couldn't understand, but Louis knew exactly what he was doing.
Although Ellis is good, he has many uncontrollable off-court factors, and there is a great **** like Miller to fill in, so there is no need to worry about it.
Although Ellis played as a substitute in the last season of the Knicks, this state cannot last long. It is rare for the team to give up their peak period and decide to be a substitute.
In addition, the Knicks and Miller and Hornacek need to be cultivated. After Ellis left, his time was just right for these two.
As it turns out, Ellis' departure has boosted the progress of Hornacek and Miller, both of whom were instrumental in the Knicks' dynastic dominance.
Ellis felt this way today, and Louis had nothing to say except to comfort him.
The truth is very realistic and cruel.
The Knicks at this stage no longer need Dell Ellis.
After talking with Ellis, Louis walked to the sidelines.
The NBC reporter naturally wanted to ask Kemp about the contract renewal.
Louie had no intention of hiding.
"Sean wasn't clear enough on the court, so I told him to go back to the locker room to calm down."
The NBC reporter asked: "Is Sean's lack of clarity related to the failure of the contract renewal?"
"I don't know, maybe, maybe not."
Louie did not disclose too much information to reporters.
He went back to the locker room, took a look at Kemp, and wanted to scold him, but he never had the habit of scolding players at the end of the game.
The only time he "had a meeting" directly in the locker room after a game was in the 1983 Eastern Conference semifinals.
At the time, he was the acting coach of the Celtics. Although he led the team to win two games, he was defeated by the Bucks in the sixth game.
In order to stand up, Louis scolded the whole team severely.
That was the only time after that, no matter how dissatisfied Louie was with the loss, he didn't explode in the locker room.
Same today.
"I want you to remember that we are here today, never because of someone's strength. In terms of strength, Patrick is not the league's number one center, and Benj is not the league's number one small forward—we are not the league's number one player in every position." No. 1 player. The Knicks are able to win five consecutive championships because we are invincible as a collective. I cherish every night of coaching you, and I hope we can win more championships together. If anyone dares to destroy The basis of our winning, whoever it is, I will take him out of this team."
"This is my first and only warning."
Louie looked at Kemp like death.
Louis' tone was almost threatening, and no one dared to joke about it with him.
The locker room seemed to suddenly have no oxygen, and it was difficult for everyone to breathe.
It wasn't until Louis walked out of the locker room that Ewing scolded Kemp.
"Aren't you **** out of your mind? Look at what you **** did tonight!"
Willis Reid said coldly: "I don't think he is stupid, he just has no brains!"
Reed joins in, forms a double with Ewing, and attacks Kemp.
Kemp originally thought that Louie's threat was terrifying enough, but he didn't expect the criticism from Ewing and Reid to be even more terrifying.
The characteristic of these two people is that they talk without leaving room, and they don't care about his face at all.
Wilson didn't join in.
Kemp is Ewing's man, and Ewing's off-court leadership surpasses him.
Ewing enjoyed posing as a leader like this and teaching others.
Times writer Dave Anderson once commented vividly: "The Knicks have two leaders, one leading off the field and one leading on the field."
Wilson was the one leading the field.
He consciously gave up to Ewing for off-court matters. It's not that he can't do it, but that he really regards Ewing as the leader of the team.
That's what leaders should do.
Wilson quietly left the locker room and caught up with Louie.
"Benj? Is something wrong?" Louie asked.
Wilson said: "Shawn's contract renewal negotiations are progressing slowly, is it related to me?"
"It's not convenient for me to tell you about this." Louis smiled.
Even if Louie doesn't say it, Wilson has his own sources.
His agent advised him to use Louie's connection to drive down Kemp's contract extension.
Wolf's suggestion was strongly opposed by Wilson.
"Coach Road will take care of it." These were Wilson's original words at the time.
When Ewing renewed his contract last season, Wolff also strongly expressed his dissatisfaction. It was still Wilson who suppressed him and told him not to overreact.
Now that Kemp's contract renewal has been delayed, Wilson can guess why.
"Coach, the salary cap changes every year. This year's maximum salary will be just a normal maximum salary in another year or two."
There was a radiance of selflessness about Wilson.
He is the greatest treasure of New York basketball~www.mtlnovel.com~Because he puts the team first, he can accept many things that others cannot accept.
"Coach, don't affect internal harmony for me, give Sean the price he wants, we have a longer-term goal, we can't get stuck here."
If every player is as sensible as benj, Louie will be the happiest person in the world.
"You look more like Sean's manager than that **** named Dutt." Louis snorted softly, "You don't need to worry about this matter, I have my own discretion."
It is because benj is so sensible that Louis wants to fight for him.
Before Wilson signed his third contract, no one except Ewing could make more than him in annual salary.
This is Louie's bottom line.
Benj can give up the so-called fame and fortune for the sake of the overall situation, and Louis must also fight to the end for his attitude of putting the overall situation first.
"Let's go, the reporter is waiting for me."
Louis said without looking back.
