the rest, only noise

Chapter 689

Louie took the blame with great reluctance.

If there's a fight at a Knicks game -- which is usually a high-probability event -- anyone who doesn't watch the game assumes the Knicks are on the wrong side.

However, with the conscience of heaven and earth, the one who came to fight was clearly a bull.

It doesn't take much to believe that the Knicks are innocent, even if it's a big deal.

After all, the order of the game must be restored, and Barkley was expelled.As he walked down the aisle, a fan threw something at him.He turned around and responded with a mouthful of saliva.

"If you dare to appear in front of me, I will absolutely beat you into the ICU!" Barkley said loudly.

After that, the two sides returned to normal.

The bulls who made a big fuss did not take advantage. Although the group fight between the two sides lasted for six or seven minutes, no one was injured.

In the words of referee Jack O'Donnell: "This conflict should never have happened."

O'Donnell noticed that Louis' face was not good-looking, and he deeply understood the thoughts of the young coach.

Whoever plays the game happily at home and develops normally, it is not a problem to win the opponent by more than 20 points.As a result, people know that they are losing, but they still want to disgust you. If this happens, the foreign media will not think that the bulls are at fault. After all, it is the gangsters of New York who are fighting with them.

Gangster, do you know the gold content of these two words?

If these bandits don't fight, are they still called bandits?
However, coaches in the industry generally believe that the Knicks don't fight much, they are just used to using physical confrontation beyond the ordinary level to force opponents to change their style of play.

Now, nothing works.

Fortunately, after the game, the two sides did not clash again.

123 is better than 94
Not surprisingly, the Knicks beat the Bulls by 29 points.

Rod Thorn, the league's vice president of operations and commissioner of discipline, said after watching tape Friday morning that it was the worst game in his four years as the NBA's chief discipline commissioner.

Ultimately, Barkley and Bannister were fined $3.

Ewing, Rodman, Sely, Angie, Stevens, Doug West, Kemp. Of the 13 people on the Knicks activation list, 8 were fined $1, and the other participants were also fined $3000.

Ultimately, the conflict resulted in a fine of $17, the most in league history.

In addition, Barkley, Bannister, Rodman, and Ewing were all suspended for one game.

Despite this, Barkley, who has been known as a troublemaker since his debut, expressed that he is not afraid.

"Look, I never regret anything I've done, and I'm making $300 million a year (it's only $260 million), so being fined $3 doesn't mean anything to me."

Before tonight, Barkley had been fined $3.5 by the league this season.

Now he has been fined another US$3, and he will lose another US$3 if he is suspended for one game, which adds up to a loss of nearly 10.

But Sir Charles has no remorse.

The Bulls are currently ranked tenth in the Eastern Conference. Even if they have Barkley, it will be difficult to improve their ranking.

So, for many who were looking forward to a playoff reunion between the Knicks and the Bulls, it was a tough sell.

In the next few days, public opinion really put the Knicks on the fire.

What a slap does not make a sound, what a fly does not bite a seamless egg, what a fight cannot be fought if only one side wants to fight - the last argument comes from the "Boston Globe".

Louis felt unbearable after hearing this, and responded publicly: "For some imbecile reporters who think that 'only one party wants to fight, you can't fight', I hope he can stand up and explain publicly why he thinks so. What is a fight? A fight is the result of one of the parties losing their minds and resorting to violence. No matter where it is, if one party wants to fight, the other party can only choose to run away or fight. Why do some people not blame those who make troubles, but instead give pointers to those who are forced to fight back?"

Unexpectedly, Louis fell into a protracted controversy because of this.

Boston's media is more than happy to attract attention by debating Louie.

In order to maintain the image of the club and players, Louis had to continue to show up.

Meanwhile, the Knicks still have three games to play before the All-Star break.

Against the Magic on February 2, the Knicks easily won. Benjamin Wilson showed his power and scored 5 points, 45 rebounds and 11 assists.

Maybe it was because the game was too strong, and only one day later, they played Magic back to back.

The Knicks are in a tough fight.

This new team is full of energy, in good condition at home, and blessed by the home whistle.

The Knicks fought for a long time, but failed to establish a victory.

In the last minute of the game, Wilson sprained his calf. Fortunately, Miller's three-pointers were magically assisted, and he made consecutive shots to win the game.

After this campaign, the Knicks have 38 wins and 8 losses, which is not as good as the Lakers in the West, but they rank first in the East without any suspense.

In the east this year, there is not much specific change compared to a few years ago.

Mainly the rise of the Miami Heat.

Miami has a fierce momentum and is currently ranked third in the Eastern Conference, only 3 wins away from the Pistons.

There is still nearly half of the regular season schedule. In theory, they not only have the opportunity to surpass the Pistons, but they can even wrestle with the Knicks.

Before the All-Star weekend, the Knicks' opponent is the Heat.

This year's All-Star Game, the Heat have three selected.

Newcomers Hank Geithers and Maurice Cheeks were selected for the main match, and another old rookie, Petrovic, participated in the three-point contest.

In this game, Louis did not let Wilson play because of a sprained calf in the last game.

The holiday was approaching, and without Wilson, the human-shaped stimulant, the Knicks did not show any anger in front of the Heat.

At the beginning, Louis wanted to save, but the Heat made more and more three-pointers, and the Knicks' chasing momentum was constantly interrupted.

Knicks players are like their last lesson before the holidays.

Not many can concentrate.

Louis didn't get angry about it, he understood the pressure on these people.

Since Wilson was selected in 1986, the Knicks have been a championship team. They have been the first echelon for four consecutive years and have won two consecutive championships. How many teams are unsustainable after winning the first championship?The list is longer than you might imagine⑴.

Therefore, in the second half, Louie made frequent substitutions.

While he can't keep players motivated tonight, he can bring in guys who want to win.

The result is still effective, they dragged the game to the fourth quarter, if it is not the last minute Geisers grabbed offensive rebounds to complete the tip-up, maybe this game will be won by the Knicks with the advantage of the depth of the lineup.

Gaithers looks like a Stoudemire in full spirit. If there is no heart trouble, Louis believes that he will occupy the top ten or even the top five seats in the league all the year round after entering the peak period.

It's hard to judge him now.

Although the Heat found the best doctor for him and used the best medicine to control his condition, who can guarantee that he will not suddenly encounter trouble?

Until the all-clear is lifted, any predictions for Gaithers will be subject to an X or a question mark.

When Louis returned home that night, he received a message from Lewis Shafier.

"Coach Lu, I really didn't expect us to beat you guys. I'm so excited, but I won't be proud! Hohohoho~~~!"

Louie didn't know what to say. Strictly speaking, he was the one who created this team. Among the top eight members of the Heat's current core lineup, six of them are directly related to him.

He doesn't feel bad about losing to such a team.

For him, it's like he lost to himself, the big one lost to the small one, there's nothing to be sad about.

Shafier's joy is understandable. With the Heat's current record and rising momentum, his contract will definitely be renewed, and it is very likely to be a long-term contract.

In this way, even if he has gained a firm foothold in this circle, shouldn't he leave a message to express his joy and add a bit of embarrassment?

In the end, he called Louis to express his thanks in a personal way and hoped that the two parties could have more cooperation in the future.

"If you have to call every time you win us, we will never have any cooperation again."

"Come on, Coach Lu, am I not too happy? Besides, the better Miami develops, the more it can prove your talent? I think a competitive Heat is helpful to New York."

"What help?"

"If you're invincible in the East, the players will get proud and slack off and lose a lot of games like tonight that they shouldn't have."

Louie had to agree with Shafier, but he was still upset. Now that he wins a ball, he will repeat the moment of "Ho Ho Ho, now I have a submachine gun"⑵. If he enters the second round of the playoffs in the future, why don't he use the prostate brake to celebrate while sliding down the slide?

⑴ 67费城、71雄鹿、75勇士、77开拓者、79超音速、81湖人，只坚持一年的总亚军就不列了。

⑵In the plot of the first part of "Die Hard", the male protagonist kills the first villain and gets a submachine gun and then sends a message to the group of bad guys, "Ho Ho Ho, now I have a submachine gun."
