the rest, only noise

Chapter 541 Forever
The Knicks and the Celtics played a 1-1 start, which exceeded outside expectations.

Many sports reporters, commentators and writers believe that the Celtics will keep their two home games, and the suspense of the series will start with the Knicks' two home games.

This view is based on the strong strength of the Celtics, no one thinks they will lose at home.

Now, the Knicks cost them a game at home.

KC Jones' coaching ability has been questioned, and these are commonplace things.

As long as the Celtics lose, no one will blame the players.It must be the fault of the coaching staff that they lost with such strength.

KC Jones did make some mistakes today.

When the Knicks started the second quarter, he did not replace Bird and stabilized his position.Instead, he chose to believe in Sampson.

I believe that Sampson has no problem at all, but at that time, the Knicks made a murderous press. At this time, it is not a question of believing or not trusting Sampson.Faced with a full-court press, there really isn't much a center player can do, no matter how good his basic dribbling skills are.As long as you are pressed by the opponent, it is difficult to protect the ball. The center of gravity of the inside players is too high.

The reason why KC is in danger is that he replaced another key player, Isiah Thomas, to break the tight press.

In most cases, if Thomas is seen on the court, the Knicks' full-court press will be reserved, so as not to be smashed by him with speed.

But yesterday was not the same thing.

Dick Bavita indulged the Knicks in using defensive moves beyond the general specifications, and the game turned into a Knicks defensive killing show.

Therefore, after the game, the coaches and players of the Celtics all went off to attack Bavita.

Heinsohn claimed that Bavetta had an "I hate Celtic" tattoo on his butt.

Auerbach counted all the moments when Bavita entrapped the Celtics on the spot.

Isiah Thomas complained: "If (the referee) also allows us to touch them at will, our full-court press will be as effective."

Surprisingly, the Knicks, who were at the center of the public opinion, had no one to refute. Instead, the Celtics' deadly rival, the Lakers center Kareem Kareem, who was also playing in the conference finals, was unwilling to leave the court alone, vowing to defend his reputation as a troublemaker.

"Does Baveta hate the Celtics? I don't think so. In the 1974 Finals, he even allowed Dave Cowens to push me hard. If you go back and check the referees of that Finals, you will find that the Bucks lost all the games that Bavita officiated."

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's utterance brought more people who had nothing to do with it to the end.

Wilt "Where there is Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, there must be me" Chamberlain mocked Kareem Abdul-Jabbar eccentrically: "After so many years, Jabbar still can't forget what happened back then. If you think the referees prevented you from winning the championship, you should win those finals without Dick Bavetta. But what did we see? Your team lost five consecutive finals in the finals, and you can't blame Bavita!"

The ancient gods spoke out.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Chamberlain, and then "Big O" Oscar Robertson.

Robertson naturally wanted to speak for Abdul-Jabbar: "Anyone can blame Kareem, but Wilt can't. No matter how much Kareem loses, he will have one more championship than Wilt. Also, I agree with what Kareem said, Dick Bavita is a jerk, but he doesn't hate the Celtics."

Big Dipper, a genius of logic, did not back down because of this. He rebutted "Big O" eloquently: "You only have one championship and dare to refute me. With two titles, why can't I say Karim?"

The outside world has become like this, what do the Knicks think?
Knicks deputy general manager Elgin Baylor, as the Knicks' most active management figure, cannot survive this big rhythm.

He accepted an interview with the "New York Times" and said: "Dick Bavita is indeed an annoying referee, but if someone wants to use him to hate the Celtics to make excuses for the Celtics' Game2 failure, I can't agree."

"The referee is one of the biggest variables in the game. You can't accuse the referee of hating you just because the referee is against you. Because it may just be that the referee's personal style conflicts with you."

Baylor's views can represent the entire Knicks team.

Other than Baylor, no one else on the Knicks has voiced an opinion about the referees.

This is also what Louis meant, don't discuss referees.

Louie would yell at the referee whenever he saw a penalty against the Knicks on the court.

The young referees would be frightened by him and try to find ways to blow a few times indiscriminately. The experienced referees knew that it was him putting pressure on him, and knowing Louis' dissatisfaction, they controlled the scale of the whistle.

But off the court, Louis rarely sprays referees.

Matters on the court should be resolved on the court. If it is mentioned outside the court, it will be a grievance.

So far, Louie has only had a falling out with Jack Madden, who was expelled from the league due to alleged racial discrimination.

Except for Madden, no matter how notorious the referee is, he has disputes with Louis on the court at most, and there is little intersection off the court.

Tonight, judging from the scale, the Knicks are the de facto winners.

They don't need to complain or refute, they just need to seriously prepare for the third game.

Louie noticed that, besides Thomas, no other Celtics player complained about the referees.

Both Bird and Sampson said with gloomy faces that the next two games in New York are the real starting point of the series.

Louis returned home, still unable to relax.

He originally wanted to enjoy family fun with his children, but Lu Wuxia destroyed all the toys like a king of destruction, like a rebellious Beagle dog, so naughty that Louis wanted to be Liu Bei.

Lu Wuyan is in the standard baby form. She cries when she speaks, laughs when she talks about laughing, teases when she talks about it, and sleeps when she says she can't sleep... She definitely has a cute side, but it's a pity that when Louis is at home, it happens to be when she shows her tormenting side.

The kids were so annoying that Louie locked himself in his room to watch Conan the Destroyer in the name of work.

Starring Schwarzenegger, there is a list of supporting roles in which NBA fans are very familiar with "I have all the data" Chamberlain.

Too bad it's a really bad movie.

It was so bad Louie didn't know what else to do to make it worse.

Chamberlain does his best to be menacing in the movie, 99 percent of the time like the actress in the Inspector series, who always makes people's scalp tingle with embarrassment when she confronts gangsters with a bad line skills and says "you're surrounded".

For a group of non-professional amateurs, they can't be asked to do better, but as long as they are bound to be subdued by gangsters, and then perform a series of R-rated clips, it's hard not to shake your head at those blunt acting clips.

But people are like this, she acted, you are not satisfied, but if she didn't act in the scene of being subdued and ravaged, wouldn't those genuine fighters who were full of expectations rush to Fanza angrily and leave the words "RNM refund! Are we worthy of this filming?"
No doubt, that's for sure.

As an actor, Chamberlain sucks, far worse than Jabbar, who was chased and bitten by him.

Abdul-Jabbar's acting career has been vastly underrated, from his role in Bruce Lee's posthumous "Game of Death" to his performance in the second-grossing comedy of the year, "Flying All Over the Sky" in 1980.

Especially in "Flying All over the Sky", Kareem Abdul-Jabbar played a pilot named "Roger Murdoch", and one of the performances conquered everyone.A young passenger recognizes him, "Roger" denies it, and the following dialogue follows.

Kid: I think you're the best, but my dad said you didn't work hard enough on defense.He also said several times that you don't run at all on the field.You don't even try...except in the playoffs.

Karim: Damn it.Listen, boy, I've been hearing this bullshit since UCLA.I give my best every night.Tell your dad to come on and drag Walton and Lanier for 48 minutes!

Before time travel, Louis didn't know about this movie.

Before 1980, Louis thought that Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was a demonized Durant, and then this movie made him discover that this guy has a sense of humor.

Almost impossible to top.

Unless the following conditions are true:

In another timeline, Durant single-core led the Nets to win the championship, and then used lines in the cameo movie to choke on Green's formula: Before I came, you already had a championship.This is a fact; it is also a fact that you have no champion after I leave.

Louie likes to compare Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Durant. They are both sensitive, fragile, eager to win, small-minded, and can't stand wronged people.Kareem Abdul-Jabbar left the Bucks and said that he and Milwaukee had no chemical reaction. Durant escaped from Golden State and played a trumpet to mock his former teammates as cats and dogs. He completely turned the tears in his MVP speech into crocodile tears.

The biggest difference between them is that Durant has not encountered a teammate who can fully tolerate him like a magician, and the league in the 21st century is more snobbish, and many interest groups are involved behind the players, so Durant will say that no one likes to wear Under Armour.

(???)

Durant earned the respect of most fans for his performance in the 2021 Eastern Conference semifinals that nearly turned the tide. Kareem did the same. The greatest moment of his career -- sprained his ankle in Game 1980 of the 40 Finals, limped back to the court when the Lakers trailed, and finally scored 42 points with one foot. All the limelight gone.

As a result, the window for Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to win back fan popularity like Durant in the 2021 Eastern Conference semifinals was closed forever.The league has since entered another era. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar has become like Duncan in the 10s. Although he has a stable performance, it is difficult to be remembered.

Fate can be so unfair, because the league's TV ratings have risen, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's last few seasons have become the time when he is most often seen.

Few people remember that he single-handedly destroyed the Bullets in 1971, hit the skyhook that kept the hope of the season in the double overtime of the 1974 Finals, and limped on one leg to win Tianwangshan for the Lakers in 1980.People now only remember him not being able to rebound, not being able to match up with Moses Malone, getting blown up every time he met Sampson, losing all his hair, and lingering on the court like an alien.

Perhaps this is the fate of the version of "Durant" in the 70s and 80s. They have elusive personalities and the desire to win at all. No matter who their teammates are, the key balls are in their hands.Durant failed to achieve a good story in Golden State, because Curry is not a magician, and he is not Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's role in the Warriors.But he still has a chance to create another legend in Brooklyn, and Kareem has been frozen in people's memory. He will always be that image, bald, goggles, white socks, moving like a zombie, and scoring 38000 points out of 20000 with a skyhook leaning on people.forever.

Louie re-watched "Flying All Over the Sky" again, and the last shot of Kareem was being dragged out of the cockpit of the plane wearing a Lakers jersey and goggles.

He couldn't forget the scene, it was so funny.

It's not that the script itself is funny, but that when Kareem Abdul-Jabbar does this, everyone wants to laugh.

If someone who never made you laugh suddenly does, you absolutely have to laugh.
