the rest, only noise

Chapter 563 The Greatest Crisis of the Celtic Dynasty (8160)

Ewing's impression of Dale Ellis is a person who doesn't like to talk, but only speaks with actions.

I don't know if it was his illusion, but after the start of the Eastern Conference Finals, Ellis talked a lot every day, whether it was on the training ground or on the field, he never avoided his teammates.

Including tonight, he will tell others what tactics to play and what kind of support is needed from his teammates.

After scoring the first goal, the phrase "I feel good tonight" also appeared in Game5 when he saved the team.

Dale Ellis' game has a characteristic.

The stronger the opponent, the better he will perform.

In the Eastern Conference finals, he averaged 20 points per game, second only to Benjamin Wilson in the Knicks, and made more than [-]% of his three-pointers.Not only did he feel good tonight, every game in the Eastern Conference Finals was his show.

The impact of the foot injury has significantly slowed his running.

Therefore, he needs to increase communication with his teammates to get help.

In the middle and late part of the first quarter, the Celtics counterattacked very strongly. The Knicks relied on the space created by Ellis' outside threats to allow Rodman, McHale and even Ewing to steal the basket again and again.

He was a thorn in the side of the Celtics, dangerous despite the injury, and every time he got the ball, he looked like he was going to shoot a [-].

In the 80s, he averaged four three-pointers per game with a [-]% three-point shooting rate in a round of series, which was a godlike performance.

Even in the small ball era, the number of goals and shooting percentage can only be achieved when stars like Curry and Lillard are in good condition.

This round of the series is undoubtedly the highlight of Ellis' career so far.

In the first quarter, 29 to 25.

Ellis hit three three-pointers in a single quarter and only took four shots, and the missed shot was a backcourt buzzer specially passed to him by his teammates.It's as if he is Shintaro Midorima, shooting 100% from the backcourt.

Ellis' feet were trembling. Louis believed that the Celtics would fight against this area with sufficient strength. His foot injury would cause severe pain, and if it was not handled properly, it would aggravate the injury.

"Dell, come down and rest." Louis said softly.

Ellis refused to leave: "Coach...me."

"You're like a draining battery. I know you don't want to sit out the court, but I can't drain your energy in the first half." Louie laughed. "I need you in the second half."

Ellis sat down without a word. At this moment, the body that had receded from the excitement truly gave feedback on the situation under his feet.

As if something was biting his foot, the unbearable pain rushed from the sole of his foot to his forehead.

Louis does not intend to use the murder press at this time.

The intensity of the game in the first quarter was high enough, no matter what, this is the home court of the Celtics.After Game5's violent incident, the referee will favor the Celtics in terms of scale.

The Knicks were still ahead, and Louis decided to focus on stability. It would be best if he could get through the transition safely.

Moreover, Louis looked at Byrd like that, the injury on his body must have had a great impact.

"Protect the rebounds, control the rhythm, whether they want to let the Big Three continue to play, we only play the game in our own way!"

Louis didn't elaborate on the details. First, there was nothing to say. Second, the Celtics were playing against superstars today, and they could win the game by limiting their superstars.

This is easy to say, but difficult to do.

In the second quarter, the Celtics' rotation surprised the Knicks' coaching staff.

The Celtics continued to let Bird play the second quarter when he played the first quarter, which shows a lot of problems.Bird's back was so sore he couldn't sit down off the court.Keeping the pressure of the game, the soaring adrenaline will make Bird forget the pain, and at the same time allow the Celtics to have an all-around creator on the offensive end.

In addition, Sampson, who played the best in the first quarter of the Celtics, is already sitting off the court.

Let Sampson rest, stalemate in the second quarter, and fight for the second half.

The Celtics think the same way as the Knicks.

For the Knicks, Hornacek, Miller, Wilson, John Sely and Oakley form the second team.

Also with reservations, the Knicks' lineup depth is much better than that of the Celtics.

Throughout the Eastern Conference finals, Louie kept at least ten rotations in each game, and the Celtics only had eight rotations. If it wasn't for Bird's aggravated back injury, it might be even less.

In the second quarter, Bird and Reggie Lewis, who had high expectations within the Celtics, had a connection.

Lewis hit Wilson on the back.

It is better to say that it is a back attack than a low post attack. His back only plays a role in positioning the entire offensive end, and does not hit back.

After receiving the ball, Lewis turned over and got up.

"Shh!"

Wilson interferes enough, but some shots just don't work.

"Let me kill you!" Lewis shouted excitedly.

The young man was quickly sanctioned by Wilson.

Wilson deliberately found a screen and misplaced on Lewis, stuck in position and let Hornacek pass.

After calming down, Wilson stopped paying attention to Lambiel and went to Lewis purely to educate this rampant young man.

He pushed Lewis back hard, obviously he had created a shot space with the back impact, but he didn't shoot immediately, but chose the second impact.

Wilson now understands why when he first entered the league, those already famous stars wanted to find fault with him.Do they have a grudge?No.But they just can't understand Wilson, just like Wilson can't understand Lewis now.

Wilson brutally blasted Lewis's body away, and the second impact was far stronger than the first. If you play such a back on the field, it is not a game, but a person, and there is a high probability that it will cause a conflict.

Lewis, who was on the ground, watched Wilson pull up and shoot in front of his face, as if he had been insulted.

"I'm not fucking afraid of you!"

The good thing about young people is that they don't have stage fright, and the bad thing is that they don't have stage fright.

Lewis took the initiative to ask for the ball and wanted to hit it back. Byrd misjudged the gap between the two. He thought Lewis should have a backhand against Wilson.

As a result, Wilson, engrossed, appears to be executing a murder press.

In a few seconds, Wilson almost steals Lewis, and the fierce defense threatens Lewis to collect the ball.As soon as he received the ball, the Green Army's offense bogged down and the ball stopped running.

Oakley saw the timing and came out from the basket to double-team.

Lewis has a promising future, but right now he, like Reggie Miller of the Knicks, doesn't belong in the Eastern Conference Finals.

Even if they are promising super rookies.

Because the stepping stone of this round of the series is confrontation ability. Only when the confrontation is up to standard can he have the opportunity to show his talent. Otherwise, just like Lewis, as long as the opponent has strength, he will be at a loss.

Lewis dropped the ball and the other four Celtics came back fast enough.

But Wilson's rotation counterattack is the best in the league-probably not one of them.

Isiah Thomas, who caught up, had an old grudge with Wilson.

Wilson was even more jealous when he saw his enemies, and nothing could stop the sons of two generations of Chicago from confronting each other head-on.

Wilson roared, grabbed the ball with one hand, took a step in the paint, and jumped up with all his strength.Thomas is like a praying man, his courage is commendable and his courage is extraordinary, but now he must be realistic. To prevent Wilson's dunk, he still needs a height of 15 centimeters.

No?Then there is only regret.

Wilson knocked Thomas away in the air, without extra movement, just as clean as Carter dunked Mourning's ball, except for the suspicion of bullying, this is a dunk without any black spots.

Moreover, the effect it can cause is even more terrifying than Wade smashing Varejao.

Thomas' body was completely out of balance. He couldn't control his landing point, and he fell straight to the sidelines and flew over.

This may be the most vicious dunk that Louie has ever seen live.

There was absolutely no need for Thomas to stop Wilson.

He did that to defend the team's rim.

But in this way, it may lead to worse results.

Thomas knocked down the sideline photographer, smashed his head into the camera and bled on the spot.

Just as the fans in the garden booed Wilson, Louis pressed the referee: "Don't tell me that's not a foul, unless you want to say my players don't have cylinders! Hugh, tell me if that's a foul!?"

The referee, Hugh Hollins, failed to withstand Louis' pressure, and even called a defensive foul when Thomas' head was bleeding like a fountain.

When the audience in the garden booed with the anger of "WCNMB", he realized that he had made a huge mistake, which was a foul that must not be blown.

Thomas smashed his head. Although he didn't know the specific situation, the scene was terrifying.

Everyone has a kind of grief and indignation of "he is already like this and you call him a foul, are you a fucking human?"

The only possible exception is the Knicks.

Wilson looked relentlessly at Thomas lying next to a pool of blood, and said coldly: "This is your final end, and my team and I will be the final winners."

Thomas opened his eyes angrily, and an indescribable anger was flickering in the pupils.

The fans in the Garden became more and more crazy, and the behavior of throwing things on the pitch became more and more frequent.

This caused the referee to stop the game, took the microphone and warned the fans that if they did not stop this kind of game-breaking behavior, the referee had the right to call them technical fouls.

Although the fans are one of the components of the game scene, they do not need to accept the disposal of any referee.Therefore, if they are called a technical foul, the home team will be penalized instead.

This regulation has a sense of déjà vu that fans are paying the bill as idols.

The referee successfully deterred the fans, and the littering stopped.

The Celtics encountered a real crisis. Thomas' injury is unknown, and it is not clear whether he will come back. Bird is only half blood, and the Knicks are still ahead.

It can be said that the Celtic dynasty has encountered the biggest crisis since winning the championship in 1984.
