the rest, only noise

Chapter 766 He Cares Too Much

Everyone wants to be a starter, but an NBA team with 15 registered players only has five starters.

For every strong team, there is always a hierarchical system that is formed by appointment.

The coach is the authority, the core players have privileges, and everyone else must cooperate with the core players and obey the authority of the coach.

The starter has the most opportunities, and being able to start in the NBA shows that you are one of the dozens of best players in the world.

Starting with the Knicks has a different meaning.

If this opportunity fell in front of Kemp, he would cry with joy.

But when Rodman heard this, there was no fluctuation on his face, he just said suddenly: "I don't agree."

"This is not the time to be unselfish," McHale reminded him.

"I'm not saying I don't want to start." Rodman's lips trembled with emotion, as if someone was threatening his life.

The words were difficult for him, but he had to say them.

"I want to start, but I want the consent of the other starters," Rodman told Louie. "If someone in the starting lineup doesn't want me in the starting lineup, I won't accept this arrangement."

Louis immediately looked at the others.

Mainly Ewing, Wilson, Stockton and Miller.

"Do you have any other comments?"

Wilson, who had a good relationship with Rodman, was the first to say: "I agree to let Dennis enter the starting lineup."

If Rodman is a staunch supporter of Wilson.

That Stockton is Ewing's solid ally.

While Stockton doesn't dislike Wilson, the latter's style of play, in extreme situations, will take over the ball and he'll have nothing to do.

And Ewing will always need his help if he wants to play.

However, Stockton will not consider the struggle between Ewing and Wilson in this matter.

"It didn't hurt us," Stockton said.

Miller added: "I've been saying that Dennis can start."

"Well, you're glad I'm not starting, aren't you?" McHale said angrily.

"I didn't mean that. I mean," Miller forcefully explained, "I listen to the coach, whoever the coach wants to start, I start whoever he wants."

"Tch, you hypocritical bitch, I see through you!" McHale gave him a blank look.

Ewing is the only one who needs to make a statement.

"Pepsi spokesperson, what do you say?" Louis asked.

Ewing wondered how long it would take Louie to let go of his Pepsi endorsement.

He doesn't want Rodman to start, but with everyone backing him, his opinion doesn't matter.Louie just needs his consent.

He knew that even if he disagreed, Louie would do everything possible to get Rodman into the starting lineup.

"I don't think Dennis can play power forward, but if you think he can play, I'm fine with it."

"it is good!"

Louie said loudly.

"The result is already very clear. I will announce it again. Starting from the next game, Dennis will enter the team's starting lineup as the starting No. [-]. I would like to emphasize that although our starting lineup is fixed, I will still adjust it flexibly according to the opponent's style. Any of you may suddenly enter the starting lineup, so be prepared!"

Louis asked everyone to disperse, McHale stretched his waist, and said confidently: "From today onwards, I will be free!"

For McHale, he didn't go from starter to backup.

After losing the starter, he's going to compete with Kemp.

With Kemp's current strength and his growth rate that has improved year after year, McHale is absolutely unable to compete with him.

McHale is ready for a game where he won't get minutes like Alex Stevens.

Rodman's entry into the starting lineup is a landmark event within the Knicks.

It symbolizes the official transition of the Knicks dynasty from the 80s to the 90s.

The existing five-member starting lineup is all direct descendants of the Louis era through draft training and experience.

Although McHale was also traded by Louis, he was already a finished product when he came from Chicago.

His aging and fading out represent the full succession of the Mesozoic generation.

At the same time, Rodman's starting also benefited Ewing on the way to compete for the team's scoring champion.

McHale was there before, and McHale was always in charge of part of the "2 High" series of tactics, the iconic inside line under the N.UCLA system.

Rodman's offensive ability cannot be compared with McHale at all.

The ball left by McHale was naturally absorbed by Ewing.

Starting with McHale off the bench, Ewing's field goal attempts increased from 19 to 22.4 per game.

He broke the tacit understanding with Wilson.

Louie also didn't say anything about his increased shot rights as he maintained his efficiency.

On January 1, the Knicks played against the Celtics again.

For the fourth time this season, Sampson is eager to continue the glory of the previous battle.

But Rodman's defense is not comparable to that of McHale. He tried his best to hit Sampson's lower body. The Knicks applied the Jordan rules prepared for the trapeze to Mr. One.

The fierce defense and physical contact have greatly reduced the number of Sampson's offenses.

Although he was able to find open teammates through his own height, and got a game-high 11 assists, Sampson, who got 11 assists, was like Miryu Sakamichi who was forced to play an innocent girl by the project. Even if she had the acting skills to complete the character setting, it was still a serious waste of talent.

The Knicks are not afraid of Sampson getting 11 assists, they are afraid that Sampson will play 64+29+9 again.

After two straight victories against the Knicks, Celtics coach Chris Ford claimed the team had found the secret to beating the Knicks.

"The Celtic recipe is failing faster than the Iraqis can be driven out of Kuwait."

Sampson still had a good performance. With both Bird and Thomas misfired, the Celtics lost 26 points.

After defeating the Celtics, within the Knicks, the competition for the team's scoring title kicked off again.

Since Ewing's shot attempts have risen to 22.4, his scoring numbers have also risen to 30.8 points.

Wilson didn't follow suit with increasing his shot attempts.

If the outside line wants to score, there is always a way than the inside line.

Wilson made smart choices.

As the core of the Knicks' offense, he doesn't intend to concede defeat in scoring, and he doesn't want to affect others because of his competition with Ewing.

So he can only make changes when the number of shots remains the same.

His changes have two points, increasing the number of three-point shots, and making opponents foul as much as possible.

By precisely setting his shot area, Wilson learned a set of magic ball theory without a teacher.Under unnecessary circumstances, he no longer shoots long-distance long two-pointers, dribbles a lot of breakthroughs, makes fouls, and uses the superiority of the N.UCLA system to shoot more open three-pointers. The enthusiasm for fast breaks has increased by several levels compared to before.

1月19日-2月4日的10场比赛里，威尔逊场均34分，其中有一场比赛，创造了单节30分的神级表现。

There is no doubt that his offensive ability is stronger than Ewing.

With only 19.2 shots per game, the scoring average came to 28.5 points per game.

The lead gained by Ewing's extra shots was almost nonexistent.

The competition came to an end in the final battle before the All-Star weekend.

The opponent in that game is still the Celtics.

This is the fifth meeting between the Knicks and the Celtics this season and the last in the regular season.

Both sides don't take the upcoming All-Star weekend seriously, relax before finishing the game, and play with all their strength like enemies.

In the opening game, Bird gave the Knicks a bad start with 16 points in a single quarter.

Wilson woke up immediately, with 14 points and 5 assists in the second quarter. In the third quarter, he misfired Bird on the defensive end and fired from the outside.

Every time Wilson scored, he glared at Bird.

His anger, his fighting spirit, and his fighting spirit were so strong that Louis, who was standing on the sidelines, felt the same way.

Louis put himself in the shoes of his opponent, who would want to compete with such a person?
For others, it's just a game, but for him, every game is a war.

When he meets Byrd, he will be even more extreme.

He hasn't forgotten the spittle that the other party spit on his face to this day.

That incident has been cited as a shame by him so far. Whenever he meets Byrd, he will do his best to fight.

In the fourth quarter, Bird obviously couldn't keep up with his rhythm.

After all, he is 35 years old, his body is full of injuries, he can no longer play the third position with pure speed, and his skills have reached the peak, but in addition to skills, basketball also has confrontation and rhythm.

Tonight, Bird was blown away by Wilson.

Wilson wasn't satisfied. He wanted to dominate Bird, from the second half to the last second.

He cared a little too much.

When he used the low center of gravity to play with Bird, knocked him to the ground, and when he hit the penalty area with the ball and dunked Lambir, he stepped on his teammate's foot (Ewing) and fell down immediately.

"Benj, me"

Ewing didn't expect that Wilson's foot would step on him. Although it was an accident, self-blame was inevitable.

The Knicks team doctor quickly stepped forward.

Wilson's expression was distorted in pain, and he couldn't help but cry out.

"Does it hurt?" the team doctor tried.

"It doesn't hurt."

"Then why are you crying?"

"It just doesn't hurt."

The team doctor smiled: "It doesn't look serious, but if it hurts, you still have to go to the hospital for an examination."

The team doctor had Wilson put on a stretcher.

Wilson never said a word to Ewing, maybe because he didn't care, or maybe he didn't say anything on purpose.

Ewing knew that Wilson's retirement from injury was an opportunity for him to improve his statistics, but he couldn't be happy.

"You little bastard, you know how to be brave all day long!" Louis scolded Wilson on the stretcher.

Wilson closed his eyes and gave himself a thumbs up.

For the last time against the Celtics in the season, Wilson scored a season-high 54 points against Bird. Although he was injured, he felt that he was awesome.

"Crap, you bastard!" Louis looked at the dazed Ewing unhappily, "What nonsense are you thinking about, you have to wait until you bury Boston in a daze, this game, you come to the end!"
