the rest, only noise

Chapter 688 Why are you so disdainful! ! !
On February 1990, 2, the tension at Madison Square Garden was palpable.The visiting Chicago Bulls are full of enthusiasm and eager for a victory. This will be the last time they face the Knicks this season.

The Knicks now firmly occupy the No. [-] position in the Eastern Conference, but this is a long and difficult season. Although there will inevitably be changes in the follow-up, the Knicks are a little frustrated and tired of the burden of defending the championship, but every time they play the Bulls, they are full of energy.

The grievances between the Knicks and the Bulls can be traced back to the 1986 draft.

The aftermath of the “death of prejudice” still wreaks havoc in Chicago today.

Barkley is in a bind, and while they have a dodgy general manager, Chicago isn't an attractive city for free agents.Even if Jerry Krause tried his best to strengthen, but under Louie's obstruction, last summer, they were almost fruitless.

Of course, it cannot be said that there is no gain.

They acquired young prospect Dan Marley from the Minnesota Timberwolves.

The Knicks-born white wing is loved by Louie, can shoot and defend, and has a tough style. He should have fought in the murder tight team for several years to lay the foundation that can help him get ahead in professional basketball, and then decide his own future.

But the expansion draft changed his career.

Marly came to a team that could give him more playing time, he was satisfied, but he didn't know what was lost for it.

A few days ago, Marley and the Bulls lost at home by 41 points.

Today, to MSG, the Knicks also do not want to lose at home.

Barkley came to the Knicks coaching staff emotionally and said loudly: "I will use the best game to end the losing streak against you."

Louie quipped, "Chuck, I want you to act better than your mouth, your ass, and your appetite."

After the game started, the Bulls' lineup was obviously problematic.

Point guard John Paxson, Louie's old underling;
Shooting guard Dan Marley, a Knicks debut sophomore;

Barkley, a quasi-super giant whose peak period was constantly wasted due to being on a bad team;
Ken Bannister, some people will be familiar, because this guy played under Louie.Bannister was a member of the Knicks during Louie's first year with the Knicks.He is a rough insider who was led to the right path by Louis and is now a good inside backup, but he started in the Bulls.

This shows how bad the Bulls' starters have become.

The starting center is Jack Haley (PF/C), a first-round pick in 1987. He suffered from tendonitis for a long time. He missed more games than he played.

Can't blame him for that either.

Before the standard rookie contract was officially introduced, the size of the rookie contract mainly depends on the team name, home location and draft position.

Naturally, small ball markets sign less, while big ball markets sign more.

Harry belongs to the former, but unfortunately his health is not healthy. He has long been questioned and ridiculed. He is known for cheering his teammates enthusiastically from the bench.

This is the starting lineup of the Bulls, and it is also a gift from Louie to them.

They have three starter-caliber players, a backup, and a premium glass that no one wants.

Louie showed respect for his opponents by starting the game with Rodman, Doug West, Stevens, Wilson, and John Sely.

As long as Rodman, Stevens and Saley play at the same time, commentators can be sure that the Knicks are going to press the whole court.

Because only when the Knicks want to press the opponent full court will they play three people who are completely cumbersome on the offensive end.

They can't attack well, but they are quite brave in defense.

John Paxson is an unstoppable shooting guard who can handle the ball, but can he handle it in a murderous press?
This question doesn't even make sense.

Because the Knicks' murder press was tested on Isiah Thomas, Tragedy, Jordan, and more.

They're not afraid of you being able to dribble, they're not afraid of you being able to fight, they're not afraid of anything.

But Barkley obviously came to the game with anger.

He and Bannister called themselves the "Brothers of Bulk" because they were often the strongest players on the court.He didn't care about the Knicks' full-court press, he only wanted to create conflict.

This coincides with Rodman.

Rodman hadn't been punched by Sir Charles yet, and he didn't know how powerful the latter was.

One side is a tough guy, and the other side is a disaster star who likes to fight fire. Put the two together, and a fierce collision is inevitable.

Nix's murder press enrages Bannister.

This self-esteemed blue-collar insider successfully gained a foothold in the league during the years he left Louis. Although the time he spent with him was very short, he was very grateful to Louis.

But gratitude doesn't have to show weakness, it can also show strength.

He wanted to prove that it was reasonable for Louis to value him in the first place, so Bannister took the initiative to throw punches on the court to cause trouble.

Soon, he was subdued.

John Selley was the laughing tiger, and he suddenly attacked Bannister, destroying the opponent's ball and knocking him to the ground.

This scene did not escape the eyes of the referee, and he was called a foul.

The Bulls refused to give up, and the two sides started a large-scale conflict.

But this time, it was just laying the groundwork for a more intense explosion in the second half.

"Everyone is afraid of New York. I'm not afraid. I don't like them. They're just a group of soft bastards who are blown up. They will only find some people who can't fight. If they have the ability to touch me?"

Louie doesn't need to use Barkley's words to motivate players. Fighting is not their main business.Why do some people think their games are fights?They force their opponents to fight, but as soon as the opponent makes a move, they immediately pretend to be innocent.

Active fighting is the lowest level.

"I don't think that's going to happen."

Reporters asked Louie if he was worried about an escalation in the second half.

Louie's answer reassured many people, and he did not bring Barkley's words to the players, which would increase the smell of gunpowder in the second half.

But sometimes, if the opponent values ​​the fight more than the game itself, it's better to actually fight them.

The young Doug West couldn't stand the opponent's provocation, so he took the initiative to punch Marley.

Is the opponent an old Knicks player?So what, West bumped into Marly, threw a punch, followed by another punch, hitting Lei Tingdan on the shoulder, and the latter fell to the ground instantly.

So begins the ugly drama.

Marley didn't retaliate immediately, he was very calm, he got the essence of the Knicks, he only picks things up and doesn't fight.

He overacted and didn't notify his teammates in advance.

Barkley thought his teammate was being bullied and rushed over to knock West down. Ewing stepped in and pushed Barkley away.

But Sir Charles never beeped too much, and punched Ewing decisively in the eyes.

Then, the situation completely escalated.

Bench players from both sides rushed forward and shoved each other, many of them fell to the floor.As Barkley's body rolled around on the floor, Rodman hit him in the back with what referee Jack O'Donnell described as a "surprise punch."

Meanwhile, Bannister stood on the edge of the melee and was immediately mobbed when he pulled Ewing and Salley out of a pile of clothes.Although he was a member of the Knicks, he was never teammates with these two, and the two sides had no friendship.

The scuffle lasted 8 minutes, and the live broadcast of the game was interrupted. Almost everyone on both sides fought, and the Bulls obviously suffered.

Because they didn’t dare to fight much. On the Knicks’ side, they either fought blatantly, fought in the name of persuading a fight, or sidelined the fight in the name of appeasement, or waited for an opportunity to throw black punches. In short, there is no good thing.

"What do these people practice on weekdays?" Louis asked Tomjanovich in puzzlement, "Why are they so proficient?"

"It really has nothing to do with me," Tomjanovich said innocently.

"This is a misbehavior." Zhao Yuanzheng, who realized his slip of the tongue, changed his words instantly, "A raging soldier, a raging nest, Coach Lu, their performance just shows that this team has been completely branded by you."

"Yuan Zheng, you are talking nonsense. I have been in New York for six years, and of course I will become my shape." Louis said dissatisfiedly, "But I haven't taught them this, how high is my quality? When did I fight like this? On the contrary, this group of people, damn it, didn't you see it? No one tried to persuade them to fight just now!"

Louis said sadly: "If all of them are suspended, what should we do?"

"Quality of Coach Road"?
Does this thing exist?

As an old partner who has been with Louis for 10 years, Tomjanovich can responsibly say that since Louis KO Jack Madden in 1983, his style has been determined.

Since then, whether it is the Celtics or the Knicks, although the people are different, the number of ways is still the same.

Moreover, the taste is really too strong!
Why are you so scumbag! ! !
