the rest, only noise

Chapter 357 He Wasn't Fighting Alone

The Lakers are having an unfortunate night.

The night included something they hated, Michael Cooper with a suspected fracture/cramp/sprained ankle, and no way to continue playing anyway.

When the Lakers' team doctor carried him off the field on a stretcher with a heavy face, Jack Nicholson looked horrified: "Come on, don't do this!"

Even if they don't know the ball very well, they know how important Cooper is to the Lakers.

Without him, the team's defense is finished.

This is one of the reasons why the Lakers are weak against the Celtics.

For the three monsters of the Celtics, you don’t say all of them are restricted, at least one must be restricted to affect the other, and the remaining one can do whatever he wants.

However, Cooper can't defend against Bird, Thomas, Sampson, and others, so the Lakers can only play the game as a confrontational battle.

Wilkins has made great progress this year, which is great news for the Lakers, but Kareem is too old.

At present, they have not yet considered the Celtics, and the Knicks are in full swing.

Cooper was injured, and Dale Ellis, who he was marking, went crazy tonight, taking 9 shots from beyond the three-point line and hitting 5 goals.

Except for the Knicks, no second team will let him shoot like this.

Except for Louie, no other coach accepts that someone on the team takes 9 three-pointers a game.

But if he can shoot 9-for-5, why not let him do it?

Ellis's three-pointer was so accurate that Cooper was extremely nervous when defending, so he didn't pay attention to protecting himself. Now he is injured, and the Lakers are behind the Knicks by double digits.

88 is better than 77
With a gap of 11 points, the third quarter is over.

"Give me some strength, Lakers!" Eddie Murphy howled, "Look at the Lakers girls working so hard, why are you here?"

Louie looked at Murphy with a smile on his face: "Eddie, it seems that every time you support the Lakers in front of me, we always perform very well. This is definitely due to you, and I am very grateful."

Murphy blushed and started to speak against Louie with a strange accent.

He has starred in many comedy movies, always playing a black man, pointing the way for the birth of countless black comedy movies for later generations, but every role he plays is no funnier than him now.

Jennifer Beals was amused by the scene.

"Hey, Jennifer, I'm sorry, your Lakers are going to lose again tonight." After Louie finished speaking, he went back to arrange tactics for the fourth quarter.

Jennifer defended her home team while laughing: "It's not certain who will win!"

"Damn it, don't flirt here!" Murphy misunderstood the relationship between Louis and Jennifer. "This is a battlefield, and there is no friendship on the battlefield. He is our enemy!"

"Who is flirting? Things are not what you think at all!"

"I denied it! I have a guilty conscience!" Murphy turned into a moral policeman, "You are indeed the number one undercover agent in the celebrity district. No wonder you never screamed when the Lakers performed well, wow!"

Louie saw the Lakers star fans scrambling, but didn't pay much attention.

He returned to the bench, deciding to implement a plan he had in mind inspired by a bloody Alex Stevens.

"Rudy, at the beginning of the fourth quarter, will the Lakers let Maggie rest for a while?" Louis asked.

Tomjanovich nodded, "It's always been like this."

"it is good!"

Louis came to the team members and took out the roster, lest he call the wrong name.

"Starting the fourth quarter, I have a plan."

Everyone tensed up and looked at Louis.

Louis spoke slowly, Tomjanovich opened his eyes wide, and Phil Jackson adjusted his glasses. At first, they thought they had heard wrong.

Turns out I heard it right.

Look at the names called by Louis again, taste it carefully, and find that it is not impossible.

Maybe there is a real chance?

Everyone's mental journey took a leap with the plan Louis stretched out.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Pat Riley decided to play it safe and let the Magic continue to play.

This was unplanned, and Louis immediately looked at Tomjanovich: "Rudy?"

"I swear in the name of Jesus Christ! This is the first time in 20 games they haven't rested Magic early in the fourth quarter!"

Louis saw that he was frank and didn't look like a fake, so he patted him on the shoulder: "How can I not believe you, Rudy, you are my chief assistant, the person I trust the most, I doubt that anyone can doubt you, just a little question, did you take the wrong statistics or notebook or something like that?"

"No! Absolutely not!"

"Damn, so Pat Riley's first exception in over a month is at our game?"

"seems like it."

"rough!"

"Lu, I've always wondered what 'cao' means."

"You can understand it as 'Fa Ke' in Chinese." Louis walked in front of the players, "Although Maggie took control as soon as the fourth quarter came up, our plan remains the same. Don't forget, he played the entire third quarter and his physical strength may not be that good. Maybe this is our great opportunity!"

Lakers home announcer Keith Eriksson watched the Knicks' fourth-quarter start in confusion: "What the hell is Little Lu doing?"

The Knicks' starters are: Stockton, Gerald Wilkins, Tyrone Corbin, Stevens, Oakley.

There are only two regular starters, and the other three are regular rotation players.

"It's a bit risky to do this." Zhao Yuanzheng said worriedly, "Once the control is not good, the magician's score will be like a bag."

Sharif watched the game speechlessly and did not speak.

We all know that Louie is an adventurous person.

The Knicks, who won the jump ball in the first quarter, have the right to kick off the fourth quarter.

Stockton happily called the pick-and-roll, passed the Magician's defense, and the Lakers had no one to defend.

When Cooper was injured, they even weakened their basic defense.

Stockton made a layup.

90 is better than 77
"Calm" Chamberlain found out that Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was resting, "Calm, we can't go on like this, the Lakers need to be more serious."

When Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is not on the court, Chamberlain is a bit of a celebrity.

Surprisingly, the Knicks did not retreat!
"The audience is pressing?!!!"

"Oh my god! All five Knicks players stay in the frontcourt!"

"Are New Yorkers crazy?"

The Lakers didn't have any expectations. Magic wanted to get the ball, but Stevens circled the front defense like a mad dog. His wingspan became the biggest advantage preventing the Lakers from serving to Magic.

Even if the magician wants to push back with some extreme moves, as long as he doesn't fall down, Stevens will come up immediately.

Desperate, crazy, and clingy defense were Louis' initial impressions of him.

Stevens has to thank this era.

Contemporary rules allow players to hand-check at any position. If it is dangerous to hold the ball, not holding the ball is not only hand-checking, you are even the rough hand-checking referee.

So Louie would later advise Stevens to be gentle with rule-setting officials.

It is not an exaggeration for those people to say that they are his parents.

Lakers starter Wilkins took a risky pass.

The warm Tyrone Corbin, who was given away for nothing by the Spurs, grabbed the position with a quick pace and intercepted the ball.

In the blink of an eye, he made a layup.

92 is better than 77
"Strike!" Louie applauded.

Just as Pat Riley was about to call a timeout, the magician quickly ran up the court: "Long pass! Throw a long pass!"

The magician is worthy of being a magician, he immediately realized how to prevent this.

The only thing he didn't expect was that Stevens would be so annoying and follow him every step of the way. Magician's teammate threw a long pass. Even if he couldn't threaten the ball, he would foul the way to destroy Magician's receiving the ball.

An option appeared that could easily make Louie suffer from PTSD.

On the sideline, the Lakers will serve the sideline.

At this moment, Kurt Rambis, who was in charge of serving, was not fighting alone. All the heroic souls who had buried their fame in this position traveled through time and space to attach to his body.

"Kurt Rambis Serves!"

this moment.
"It was broken!"

He is not fighting alone!
The great insider of the Lakers, he inherited the glorious tradition of always serving an own goal at critical moments.

"How dare you make a mistake in beating your mother!" Louis's brain circuit instantly went to the career masterpiece of Zhou Qi, a naturalized foreign aid from Poland in the 2019 World Cup.

Louie didn't know whether to be happy or what, and Stevens rushed forward like crazy.

Such a passionate player, any baker will take care of him.

Stockton backhanded a long pass for a dunk.

94 is better than 77
A scene that made many Lakers fans tremble happened.

The Lakers trailed the Knicks by a large margin in the forum. Not long after the fourth quarter started, the Lakers actually called a timeout.

Because if the timeout is not called, this game may really be explained.

With a gap of 17 points, how can they limit the Knicks' scoring and chase points without a big defensive lock on the flank?This is really a big problem.

Back from the timeout, the Lakers were dumbfounded again.

Louis actually put away the full-court press that worked well, and changed a lineup.

Ewing, Ball, Stevens, Campbell, Stockton.

"Which song is Little Lu singing?"

Pat Riley was so angry that he smashed the water glass in his hand. He had already planned how to break the Knicks' full-court press, but now, well, they don't press!

"At first, I thought that people in the circle said that there was a scheming young coach in New York who was the direct disciple of that old ghost Auerbach. I didn't believe it at first, but now I have to believe it even if I don't believe it. This kid is really insidious and cunning!"

There is a way of boasting in the world, called scolding and boasting.

"The Knicks' full-court press tactic was not premeditated, but a temporary plan. They haven't practiced it specifically, so there must be many flaws. Therefore, as long as the Lakers calm down, they will definitely be able to break through, but this kid." Chamberlain, who will stand firmly on the Lakers' side as long as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is not around, laughed angrily, "He just accepted it when he saw it, and he won't give you a chance to break it at all!"

As long as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is not involved, Chamberlain's analysis is grounded.

The Lakers fans in front of the TV became angry just by hearing him say that.
