the rest, only noise

Chapter 513
The Knicks' record ranked second in the East, which allowed them to meet one of their enemies, the Chicago Bulls, in the first round of the playoffs.

They were the most active team at the trade deadline this year.

In order to strengthen the team, Klaus sent away many young people in the team. There was no need to worry so much, but the Bulls' first-round pick this year is in the hands of the Knicks.

Jerry Krause didn't want to work for Louie anyway, it was a matter of principle.

However, even after strengthening, the Bulls only finished seventh in the Eastern Conference, and Dennis Johnson and Joe Barry Carroll are both players in decline.

They are likely to experience a significant decline next season. At that time, how Barkley supports the situation alone will become a point of concern.

On the eve of the playoffs, the Knicks practiced as usual.

Although the Bulls are a strong team, they are not a worryingly strong team, especially not a team that the Knicks need to seriously think about how to play against.

This idea is not out of arrogance, but a conclusion drawn after a rational analysis of the gap between the two sides.

The time came to April 1988, 4, which was the game day of Game 29 in the first round of the playoffs.

Louie noticed the team's slack, but did nothing to correct it.

Perhaps, with this attitude of belittling their opponents, they will lose.If he really loses, he can use the problem to play.

The Bulls aren't going to lie flat and let the Knicks take over the game.

At the home court of the Knicks, the Bulls raised the intensity of the game to a new level.

The consequence of increasing the intensity of the game is to make the Knicks follow suit.

Neither team was ready to play a game of this intensity, and as a result, the offensive efficiency of both sides avalanche.

It was a game that was televised across the United States, and it was an ugly game.

In the end, the total score of the two sides added up to less than 160 points.

At this point in the game, some people think it's iron-blooded and passionate, while some people feel constipated and suffocated, and the chickens are pecking at each other.

The offensive efficiency of the two teams is their respective lows in the playoffs this season, even if the regular season is included, it is the lowest.

The effective field goal percentage of the two teams is also the lowest in the season.

The Knicks like to shoot three-pointers, and they shot 14% of their three-pointers, and the cry of the rim can be clearly heard.

Even the shooting percentage at the rim and the mid-range are very low, while the turnover rate is very high.

These data directly reflect the issue of competition intensity.

Only high-intensity games will make people feel uncomfortable, and high-intensity games often cause many confrontational mistakes.

Although the Bulls have made many efforts to win, the Knicks are still the better side.

In the end, the Knicks also relied on their familiarity with hand-to-hand combat to win the game toughly.

79 is better than 77
The most outstanding player in the Bulls team was not the head star Barkley, but Joe Barry Carroll, who "doesn't care about anything". The fierce confrontation seemed to make him open his sleepy eyes.

This is a game where neither side has found the touch, the shooting percentage is terrible, and the true shooting percentage is also a mess.But Louis believes that the key is that the two sides did not let go. The intensity of the game was indeed high. The two sides defended fiercely, but it was not a tight defensive game.The Knicks had a strangely poor opening touch. The Bulls' high-intensity confrontation was fueled by the fire, and they successfully integrated themselves into the opponent's division.

Therefore, this is an iron game jointly shaped by defensive intensity, suffocating atmosphere, leader status and randomness. In this kind of game, the center naturally becomes the ruler.The respective MVPs of the two sides are Ewing and Carroll. The former has 11 frontcourt rebounds, 14 backcourt rebounds and 5 big blocks, while the latter has 7 frontcourt rebounds and 8 backcourt rebounds.

"Even though we won, I don't like what the game is showing," Louie shook his head to the reporters. "I just don't like it."

When Ewing was interviewed, he said some very controversial things.

"Our tactics are too focused on the outside." Ewing's tone was very flat, but what he said was enough to detonate the headlines. "Tonight's inside advantage is great, but I have only a handful of balls."

He himself sent a rebuttal, and the reporter naturally wanted it.

Josh Fickel, an emerging reporter for the New York Weekly News, asked: "Patrick, if I understand you correctly, are you unhappy with the ball tonight?"

Ewing had already noticed Louis' face with a knife hidden in his smile, and a fierce light appeared in his eyes.

"I didn't say that." He changed his words on the spot.

Fickel caught his preface: "But you said that the Knicks' tactics tonight are too focused on the outside, and you have a great advantage inside, and the number of catches is only a handful. You said that, right?"

"Our tactics have always focused on the outside, and everyone who is familiar with the Knicks knows that this is not a problem." Louie interjected.

Let Ewing go on talking, there will be big problems.

"But."

"No but it was an intense game. Patrick played 37 minutes, which is rare. He was exhausted, so he said some words that didn't convey the meaning. I hope you don't mind."

Fickle's expression as if he had caught a prey let Louis know that there would be big news tomorrow.

Although he staged a world-class goal clearance, as a world-class center forward in the media interview room, he believes that he didn't let any bastard who shot in the name of a reporter kick the ball in front of him tonight.
It doesn't matter if he looks like an orangutan, why do he often do things that even an orangutan can't do? Have you seen the documentary "Dynasty"?The orangutan in it is very smart, and the orangutan in the documentary who knows how to form gangs to consolidate his position is brought here, and his performance is definitely much better than Ewing.

Well, if Ewing was placed as the leader of the orangutan chapter in "Dynasty", he would definitely be killed.

He doesn't have that brain!
Louis' resentment towards Ewing rose to the highest level in an instant.

Ewing thought that he would be fine after being saved by Louis later, but the troubles were yet to come.

After the press conference, Louis had a gloomy face.

Entering the corridor from the interview room, Louis walked about 50 meters away from the door of the interview room before stopping and turning to look at Ewing: "Are you not satisfied with your possession of the ball?"

"No." Ewing knew the correct answer.

"No?" Louis sneered, "Then what do you mean by what you said in front of the reporters? I'm so tired from fighting tonight, my brain is short-circuited and I can't even speak human words? You won't be fucked by an orangutan, right?"

"I do not have!"

"Since you are not dissatisfied with the distribution of the ball, and you have not been taken away by the orangutan, then I would like to ask you, what is the purpose of your words?"

Louie's pressing questions put a lot of pressure on Ewing. He himself doesn't care about the possession of the ball, but tonight he feels terrible on the outside.

However, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who was ill, did not know how to express his thoughts in a more tactful way.

So he said that.

"I just think this game gives me a few more shots, and I will end the game earlier." Ewing said with a guilty conscience.

Louis asked frantically, "Then why didn't you say that in front of reporters?"

Ewing's answer only made him madder: "I just thought it would be more appropriate to say that."

"Fucking rough!"

Louis cursed out loud.

Ewing didn't understand the meaning of "CAO", but the frequency of this word in Louie's mouth was comparable to that of "dog bastard", so it was basically not a good word.

"What should we do next?" Ewing knew he was in trouble.

Louis calmed down and looked at him angrily: "What should I do? I want to dig a hole to bury you, and the world will be peaceful from now on."

"Then the Knicks don't have a center." Ewing put all his sense of humor on Louis. "I can't imagine Brad or Song protecting the penalty area. I will definitely not be able to go to heaven because I am worried about you."

Louis looked at him carefully, as if studying a special corpse: "I can't see that you bastard still knows your own weight."

Ewing has become accustomed to being called "bastard" by Louis. In his opinion, the "bastard" in Louis' mouth is like how black people call each other "Nige".

"Well, I don't expect you to say anything human. Tomorrow, during training, I want you to review the mistakes you made in front of the reporters in front of the whole team, and especially apologize to the outside players, because your words will cause them a lot of trouble, and some reporters will use it with ulterior motives to determine that there are conflicts within the team."

"We do have internal conflicts."

"Open your dog eyes and see my expression!" Louis pointed angrily at his face distorted by anger.

Ewing was still in shock: "What are you looking at?"

"Do you see my expression as if I want to discuss conflicts in the team with you?"

"It's not like..."

"Then what will your father say if you let me ruin his father?"

Ewing saw that Louis was not given a chance to reason, so he went straight to the topic: "How to review?"

"I'll give you a manuscript tomorrow, and you'll be done reading it."

"Do you still have to prepare the manuscript in advance?"

"Your father wouldn't think that you would say something like the Japanese to cause trouble for everyone and then just bow and be done? Let me tell you, if this incident affects the team's chemical reaction, even if you kneel on the ground and kowtow, I will not spare you!" Louis said fiercely, "The review must be sincere, and you must be eloquent when reading the manuscript!"

Ewing finally struggled: "Wouldn't it be more sincere if I wrote the review myself?"

"Your speech? Huh."

Louie's face was full of racial sarcasm, and he felt from the bottom of his heart that Ewing could not write any good manuscripts.

Ewing remembered Louis' expression, and that face remained in his mind, making him keep thinking about it until nightfall, when he closed his eyes on the bed, he still had that face.He finally realized that his face was full of discrimination against his IQ and EQ.
