Chapter 4 and Six: The Milkman
The tough schedule for the Knicks has just begun.
Two days after the loss to the Blazers, Madison Gardens.
The Knicks have had some special guests at home.
Under normal circumstances, as long as the Knicks are in good condition, there will be no shortage of star fans at home.The problem with them is that before Louie came in, they were not normal most of the time.
Therefore, even if a big guy like Woody Allen came to the scene, he would be considered to be looking for inspiration.
The Knicks were the object of ridicule for him.
Calculating the time, this is the third season that Louis has been in charge of New York. Last season, they won 50 wins, announcing the end of the rebuilding. This season, they are sitting on two widely favored No. [-] picks. They should officially become a strong team.
From the record point of view, it is correct.
At present, the Knicks have lost two games and are firmly in the top four in the Eastern Conference.
Tonight, we will fight against a strong enemy again, and MSG is full of people.
Marv Albert said; "The last time MSG had so many stars was in the early 70s."
In addition to those familiar celebrities to New Yorkers, there is also a slightly unfamiliar face.
Jennifer Rambis, she's here too.
She kept her word, if Louie picked Benj, she would be a Knicks fan.
She is now a front-row season ticket owner for the Knicks.
It's a pity that Louis doesn't plan to let Wilson start today.
As punishment for Wilson's heroics in the final moments of his previous game, he was replaced in the starting lineup tonight by Tyrone Corbin.
"What the hell, you don't let Benj start!"
After the starting lists of both sides were given on the spot, Jennifer asked dissatisfiedly.
Louis was not affected, he looked at Wilson and said, "You shouldn't have any dissatisfaction with this, right?"
"Coach, I know I deserve it." It seems that he has fully realized his mistake.
"The attitude is good, but I won't change my mind just because you admit your mistake and have a good attitude. You have to be a substitute tonight." Louis said, his eyes turned to the court.
Starting Corbin is still risky because he needs to be matched up with Dominique Wilkins.
This year's Wilkins has fully evolved and has become a top ten superstar in the league.
As long as he and Magic are around, the Lakers are a formidable team.
Louie met Pat Riley in midfield, and they were old rivals.
"Little Lu, I'm really amazed how quickly you rebuild New York." Riley said in amazement. "The Knicks were rotten for ten years before you came."
Louis smiled lightly: "Even if you compliment me so much, I won't let these guys show mercy."
"Although you have risen again, you are still not our opponents." Riley said proudly, "The Los Angeles sword has always been pointed at by Boston's green ghost."
Louis still felt sorry for this group of people. The Celtics they faced were too strong.
In the battle of the magic bird, Bird matured earlier than the magician, and now he has more Sampson and Thomas around him, two players who are enough to help him after he reaches the peak.
Because of the existence of these two people, even if Bird is troubled by back injuries in the future, he will have enough time to heal his injuries without having to bear the expectations of the entire team.
Because when he fell from the peak, Sampson and Thomas were just entering the peak.
Tonight, Madison Garden officials also prepared a gift for Lakers starting center Kareem Kareem.
It is a motorcycle.
This is to bid farewell to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who said before the season that this season will be his last.
Louis felt weird. In his impression, didn't Kareem retired in 1989?
Could it be his butterfly effect again?Kareem Abdul-Jabbar retired early?
Regardless, Kareem forced himself to laugh, begrudgingly thanking him as if New Yorkers owed him something.
If it hadn't been reminded by someone at the scene, Louis would have almost forgotten that Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is a New Yorker.
When he was traded from the Bucks to the Lakers, the Knicks had a chance to get him.However, as early as the 70s, the Knicks had already activated their passive talent of making mistakes whenever they had a chance to make big fish in the future: when superstars pressured management to seek trades, the Knicks were never ready for the arrival of such stars.
At that time, apart from money, the Knicks only had some seemingly powerful but useless veterans.
The Bucks don't care about New York's stinky money, so Los Angeles got Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
In front of his father and fellow villagers, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar still had a tense face, as if he was afraid of being seen. Louis could imagine what he was like in other places.
"Don't you think there are a lot of similarities between you and Kareem?" Louie asked Ewing, "Don't you want to be as annoying as him?"
Ewing said with a gloomy face: "His achievements are undeniable."
"Who cares about his achievements? No matter how high an annoying guy's achievements are, it's useless to me!"
Louis used Kareem to educate Ewing, and Kareem ended his speech briefly.
The two sides took a short rest, each sent their starters to the field, and the game was about to begin.
Jump ball, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's experience won the opening ball for the Lakers.
The Lakers' starting lineup has not changed, Dennis Johnson, Magic, Wilkins, Kurt Rambis, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
Louie felt like they could last forever with this starter.
The referee didn't give Kareem Abdul-Jabbar much face.
The Lakers cleverly opened up the space, and the shooter ran in and out, leaving the Knicks' inside line unprepared.
The Magic made a through pass to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar from the perimeter.
His position is too deep, although Ewing is against him, but has been unable to prevent him from scoring.
As a result, Abdul-Jabbar's offense was called a three-second violation.
Tonight's referee is a character worthy of special mention, even the plague god Dick Bavita who Louis dare not easily provoke.
How terrible is a person with poor business ability but conscientious and conscientious?Just look at Bavita.
The ghost knows how many good games he has destroyed. Even if he has fallen to the point where everyone shouts and beats, the referee union still defends him, and the NBA likes to let him officiate key games.
Bavita convinced Louis that there are still referees in the league who dare to ignore the aura of stars.
These three seconds are too good to give.
"Patrick, I hope your muscles are not just for show. It's too much to be taken to such a deep position by that old bald man just now. Can you be tougher?" Louis began to put pressure on Ewing.
Ewing looked down at Louis.
The Knicks' offense revolves around McHale's unsolvable low-post offense.
The iconic 2 High Rip tactic caused confusion in the Lakers' defensive position, and McHale cut into the low post on the right to receive the ball.
The man who defended him was Wilkins, which was a man-made dislocation.
McHale was not polite, turned over and made a fadeaway jumper and hit a hollow hit.
Wilkins' inhuman body was helpless under McHale's attack.
2 is better than 0
Pat Riley nodded and praised: "New York is indeed a team full of potential. I have never seen other teams use this method to create opportunities for low post dislocation attacks inside."
Says Lakers assistant Bill Bertka: "They're going to post up like that a dozen times a game."
"Is there a way to stop them?" Riley asked.
"It's difficult." Potka is the assistant coach in charge of the offense. "They use the UCLA system as the core. High pick-and-rolls and screens are the dominant part of the offense. It is almost impossible to predict what kind of routine they will use in the high position. They have too many tactics."
In other words, as long as they run out of tactics, whether the low-post receiver can play a misplaced position depends on the Lakers' defensive quality.
But the Lakers are not a very good defensive team.
In the frontcourt, Dazi Johnson made a mistake in possession of the ball.
Stockton's black tiger touched his ball with a heart-pounding hand and forcibly broke it off.
The Knicks' counterattack immediately started.
Ellis stopped outside the three-point line, and Stockton was more looking for an inside offense. His ball found Tyler Corbin who was about to go down to the paint.
The warmth that the Spurs gave to New York in vain achieved an immediate leap in combat power during the offseason.
He put on weight, moved faster laterally, and improved his defensive skills significantly.
That's why Louis arranged for him to be pressed for murder.
Starting against Wilkins tonight, he is also good against Wilkins off the ball.
It is also very good to score points quickly. He inherited the Knicks' fine tradition of scoring points quickly at the third position. In a trance, Louis saw the figure of Tony Campbell.
He is better than Campbell in defense and not shooting randomly.
He's a Campbell with less bad habits.
Wilkins prides himself on his status as a superstar and likes to mess around when defending.
Bavita never gave extra privileges to superstars. Wilkins was caught by him, and he blew the whistle, giving Corbin a 2+1 chance for nothing.
Louis watched and applauded. He had never appreciated Dick Bavetta so much.
"Tyrone Corbin is the most underrated player in the Knicks." Albert introduced him to the fans in this way. "He calls himself the 'milkman'. He will serve wherever the department needs him. Little Lu wants him to defend, and he will do a good job. Tonight, he started instead of Benj and performed well. Let us all drink delicious milk!"
5 is better than 0
Today's momentum is good, Louis just opened his brows, and the whistle from the penalty area attracted his attention.
Bavita blew the whistle again, this time, it was Ewing's off-ball foul.
Seeing Ewing's innocent reaction, Louis believed that he was really innocent, but he must not try to reason with Baveta.
"Patrick, the referee has his reasons no matter how much he brags about you. Don't complain, reflect on what you did wrong, and don't make trouble for others!" Louie yelled to make Ewing stop complaining.
Bavita is very satisfied with Louie's reaction: "If every head coach is as knowledgeable as Coach Lu, my job will be much easier."
Ewing didn't expect that even Louis would not be on his side.
Aggrieved, he kept muttering: "What the hell is this?"
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who has always been cruel to others, rarely has empathy: "I understand you."
