the rest, only noise

Chapter 438

Discord within the East star team continues to ferment.

The protagonists involved have all returned to their teams.

New Knicks aid Artis Gilmore is in place.

Gilmour arrived at the Blue Palace with his agent, and Louis met them in his office.

Gilmour's good temper is well known. He came to the Blue Palace this time just to know whether he is a part of New York's future or whether he will be traded.

"At the moment, I don't need to trade you unless you don't want to be a substitute. If you want to play 30 minutes per game, I will trade you." Louis told him bluntly, "I will give you 20 minutes per game at most."

Gilmore said without desire: "I am already at this age, the status of the team is not important to me, I just want a stable home."

"If you can come off the bench and play like you did in San Antonio, then New York is your home."

Ball's ability to protect the basket is much stronger than that of Gilmore, but Gilmore can do more things, not as simple as Ball's pure basket protector.

Gilmour promised to do his best, and Louie still didn't quite believe it.

However, he didn't expect the opponent to play well in the Knicks, as long as he was a qualified substitute.It is enough to support the inside line during the rotation time.

During the NBA period, Gilmour was always slow in the game and lacked vitality, which could make Kareem Abdul-Jabbar look like he had a chicken blood.

So he can play [-]% of his strength, which is considered to have met expectations for the Knicks.

Overall, he should be considered a solid backup center, with no temper, no trouble, and probably the most peaceful of all [-]-footers the NBA has ever seen.

His personality is very introverted, sometimes even too weak, his self-confidence and body are completely inconsistent, just like a very popular funny short film, a thick black fat man is beaten every day in prison, because the villains who have just entered the prison will choose a "strong man" to beat them in order to show their strength.

Fans will want Gilmour to show more dominance, and contemporaries will always find confidence in him.

Once, Gilmour finally couldn't bear to chase a thug and ran all over the field. Finally, he forced the opponent into a corner.But this is not a good time to clear his name of weakness, because he doesn't know how to fight.

As a result, he was KO'd by the opponent with a right swing.

The man who beat him was Maurice Lucas, who made a name for himself in this fight and laid the groundwork for his later fight against Darryl Dawkins in the 1977 Finals.

Gilmore may be a big man born in the wrong era. In a league with faster speed and rhythm and more shooters, it is difficult to find an insider who can compete with him.In that game, he can dominate the game like a big man on the field.

In this era, he's just an average star center who puts out 20 points and 12 rebounds per game, fills the paint, and shoots 60 percent from the field.

April 2

The Knicks ushered in their first game after the All-Star break.

They challenged the Cavaliers at Ridgefield Coliseum.

This is a grievance game.

The current Cavaliers are 8 wins and 39 losses, and together with the Spurs in the West, they are called the league's crouching dragon and phoenix.

But the Spurs have cleared the space, and there are draft picks, and the future can be expected.

Although the Cavaliers are still in their own hands in the first round, the Knicks have the right to exchange first-round picks with them.

Watching Benjamin Wilson, Cavaliers fans went into a rage.

This man should have worked for them!
Wearing a bright, wicked red suit, Louie seemed to be trolling the fans.

The boos never stopped.

Louis didn't know where they got so much resentment.

With Bill Cartwright back this year and no injuries, Louie is really happy for the Cavaliers.

Cartwright proved one thing after his comeback. Even if he is healthy, he can't help the Cavaliers get rid of the existing quagmire.

He is not the savior.

Since he is not the savior, why did the Cavaliers overdraw the future to make that deal? What were they thinking?However, these are not important.One of the biggest differences between fans in the age of print media and fans in the age of social media is that they are easily caught up in the news in newspapers.

They lack channels to distinguish right from wrong, and can only be led by the nose by the media.

In the All-Star Game, Wilson was so angry that he directly attacked the Cavaliers.

In this game, the Knicks coaching staff discovered a characteristic of Wilson in combination with Wilson's previous outbreaks.

He's the type of player who can't stop once he gets hot.

It seems like a lot of people are like that, but he wasn't.

Many players who hit streaks slump after a timeout.

Wilson was unaffected.

What Louis saw in him was Thompson's 100% shooting rate soaring 37 points in one quarter, 14 three-pointers in a single game and 60 points in three quarters.

Wilson's offense has the same mechanism. Once that state is turned on, it cannot be stopped.

骑士球迷的哀嚎无法阻止威尔逊32分钟内26投20中狂砍52分8篮板6助攻的生涯新高。

This was his third 50-point game in his rookie season, making him the first rookie since Wilt Chamberlain to hit a single 50-point game three times in his rookie season.

The dazzling performance made McHale's 39 points and 14 rebounds look average.

Everyone in the Knicks was happy, even the newcomer Gilmore scored 6 points, and in the end they built a world of pain where only Cleveland people were sad.

The good times didn't last long. Wilson, who exploded against the Cavaliers, misfired in the subsequent game against the Bucks.

This is a common problem among young people. The Knicks' shooting touch was suppressed, and they were even forced to rely on McHale to single out in the fourth quarter.

Once the Knicks' offense is reduced to needing to rely on McHale to take over, it shows that their situation is very dangerous.

This is the same as letting Duncan take over when the Spurs are desperate.

This is the only way to play when there are no cards to play.

McHale was unable to recover, but the data of 42 points and 19 rebounds in the game was enough to bring him praise.

The Knicks have the best record in the league, and the media are tired of letting Bird continue to be the MVP.

The league needs new faces.

McHale averaged 24 points and 11 rebounds per game on the league's No. [-] team. If he can keep it up, no one can compete with him.

The Knicks then returned home to prepare for the Chicago Bulls.

Another round of "former Raiders", Barkley and McHale both want to prove that they are doing well.

The Bulls also had an enmity with the Knicks due to a major management misoperation.

The aftermath of Len Byas' death hung over Chicago for a long time.

There is no reason to blame Louis for this kind of thing, but the media has the ability to divert conflicts.

The Knicks rebounded strongly and put the Bull on the ground.

The ruthless pocket array killed Barkley's indiscriminate dislocation, and the poor outside shooting made the Bulls miss shots again and again.

McHale's dominant 30 points, 20 rebounds and 5 assists defeated the Bulls and continued to strengthen his MVP lineup.

"New York Post" wrote a special article to describe the phenomenon unique to the Knicks.

They have never been favored since Louie took over the team.Although Louie proved his coaching ability in Boston, a good coach is not necessarily a good team builder.

Without a plate of good ingredients, even a top chef cannot cook delicacies from mountains and seas.

The Knicks have made countless trades over the past few years.

Players come and go, and now, except for McHale and Gilmour, the roster is full of young people.Some of these young people were selected by themselves in the draft, while others were scraps acquired from other teams through trades and some high-ranking picks who did not prove themselves.

A magical thing happened. These players who had never proved themselves in their home team came to the Knicks like a different person.

From Mario Ellie, Tyler Corbin, to Antoine Kyle, Dale Ellis, Stevens and now McHale.

McHale's evolution is the most puzzling.

In terms of age, he has been out of the best rising period.

A veteran who has worked hard in the league for six years, his average per game is only hovering between 17+8/9, not to mention the MVP, he has never been in the All-Star.

How did he become an MVP favorite when he came to New York?

"Perhaps, as Tom Heinsohn said, Little Lu is a 'light chaser', he can see the light in the body of the frustrated, and hold it in the palm of his hand, making these people glow with magical colors?"

No one can say the exact answer, but on one point, everyone agrees.

This is no accident.

Once or twice, you can call it accidental, but every time it happens, can you still call it accidental?

The Knicks' winning streak lasted until February 2, when they were defeated by the Blazers.

Then marched into March with a wave of two-game winning streak.

麦克海尔以场均26分13篮板4助攻2抢断2盖帽的数据力压群雄，当选二月最佳球员。

His explosion has not yet come to an end. In early March, during the World War II Jazz, McHale ruthlessly scored a career-high 58 points and 10 rebounds on Karl Malone's head, making his MVP calls reach their peak.
