The Rest, Only Noise

On February 3, 1990, the tension at Madison Square Garden was palpable. The visiting Chicago Bulls are enthusiastic and eager for a victory. This will be the last time they will face the Knicks this season.

The Knicks are now firmly occupying the No. 1 position in the East, but this is a long and difficult season. Although there will inevitably be variables in the future, the Knicks are a little frustrated and exhausted by the burden of defending the championship, but every time they play the Bulls, their essence is strong. Full of energy.

The feud between the Knicks and the Bulls dates back to the 1986 draft.

The aftermath of the "Death of Prejudice" continues to wreak havoc in Chicago today.

Barkley is in trouble, and while they have a crafty general manager, Chicago isn't an attractive city for free agency. Even if Jerry Krause made every effort to strengthen, but under the obstruction of Louie, last summer, they almost failed.

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

They acquired young potential wing Dan Marley from the Minnesota Timberwolves.

The white Knicks wing, beloved by Louie, capable of shooting, defending, and tough, should have spent years in the murder press to lay the foundations that would help him get ahead in pro basketball, and then decide your own future.

However, the expansion draft changed his career.

Marley came to a team that could give him more minutes, and he was happy, but he didn't know what to lose.

Marley and the Bulls lost 41 points at home a few days ago.

Today, to MSG, the Knicks are also reluctant to lose at home.

Barkley came to the Knicks coaching staff emotionally and said loudly: "I'm going to end the losing streak against you with the best game."

Louie quipped, "Chuck, I hope you're better than your mouth, ass, and appetite."

After the game, the Bulls' lineup was clearly problematic.

Point guard John Paxson, Louie's old man;

Shooting guard Dan Marley, the Knicks debuted sophomore;

Barkley, a quasi-super-giant who was constantly wasting his prime due to being in a bad team;

Ken Bannister, some people will feel familiar because this guy played under Louie. Bannister was part of Louie's first year with the Knicks. He's a rough big man who was steered in the right direction by Louie, and is a decent post back now, but he's a starter for the Bulls.

It can be seen that the Bulls' starter has been rotten to what extent.

The starting center is Jack Haley (PF/C), a first-round pick in 1987. He suffered from tendinitis for a long time. He missed more games than he played. He was booed by home fans wherever he was because he signed A big rookie contract, but neither attendance nor performance is worthy.

Can't blame him for that either.

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

Small markets naturally sign less, and big markets sign more.

Harry belongs to the former, unfortunately his health is unhealthy, he has long been questioned and ridiculed, and he has a reputation for cheering his teammates enthusiastically on the bench.

This is the Bulls' starter, and Louis' gift to them.

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

Louie showed respect for his opponents and even started Rodman, Doug West, Stevens, Wilson, and John Salley at the start.

As long as Rodman, Stevens and Salley are on the court at the same time, commentators can be sure that the Knicks are going to have a full court press.

Because only when the Knicks want to press their opponents will they have three people who are completely burdensome on the offensive end.

They are not good at offense, but they are quite brave on defense.

John Paxson is an unstoppable shooting guard who can handle the ball, but can he handle the ball under murder pressure?

This question doesn't even make sense.

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

They're not afraid that you can dribble, they're not afraid that you can fight, they're not afraid of anything.

But Barkley clearly came to the game with anger.

He and Bannister call themselves "Brothers of Bulk" because they tend to be the strongest players on the court. He doesn't care about the Knicks' full-court press, he just wants to create conflict.

This coincides with Rodman.

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

One side is a tough guy, the other side is a disaster star who likes to make fire. Putting the two together, a violent collision is inevitable.

The Knicks' murder press angered Bannister.

The self-regarding blue-collar insider has successfully established himself in the league in the years since he left Louie. Although the time together is short, he is very grateful to Louie.

But gratitude does not have to show weakness, it can also show strength.

He wanted to prove that Louis valued him at first, so Bannister took the initiative to throw punches on the court to create trouble.

Soon, he was subdued.

John Salley was a grinning tiger when he suddenly attacked Bannister, breaking the ball and knocking him to the ground.

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

The Bulls were reluctant, and the two sides launched a large-scale conflict.

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

"Everyone is afraid of New York, I'm not afraid, I don't like them, they're just a bunch of blown-up softballs, they will only find some people who can't fight, and try to touch me?"

Louie doesn't need to use Barkley's words to motivate players, fighting is not their main business. Why would anyone think their game is a fight? They are forcing the opponent to fight, but as long as the opponent does something, 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, when opponents value the fight more than the game itself, it's better to actually fight them.

Young Doug West, unable to stand the opponent's provocation, took the initiative to punch Marley.

The other is the Knicks veteran? So what, West bumped into Marley, threw a punch, then another punch, hitting Thunder Dan on the shoulder, who fell to the ground instantly.

Thus begins the ugly drama.

Marley didn't take revenge right away. He was calm and got the essence of the Knicks. He only picks things up and doesn't fight.

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

Barkley thought his teammates were being bullied and rushed over to knock West over. Ewing stepped in and pushed Barkley away.

But Sir Charles never beeped much, punching Ewing decisively in the eye.

So, the situation escalated completely.

The bench players on both sides quickly stepped forward and pushed each other, and many fell to the floor. As Barkley's body rolled on the floor, Rodman hit him in the back with what referee Jack O'Donnell appeared to be a "surprise punch."

Meanwhile, Bannister stood on the brink of a scuffle and was immediately mobbed by each other as he pulled Ewing and Sally from a pile of clothes. Although he was a member of the Knicks, he has never been a teammate with the two, and the two sides have no friendship.

The melee lasted 8 minutes, and the live broadcast of the game was interrupted. Almost everyone on both sides made a move. It was the Bulls who obviously suffered.

Because not many of them dare to fight, on the other hand, on the Knicks side, they either fight blatantly, or fight in the name of persuasion, or pull sideways in the name of appeasement, or wait for an opportunity to make a black fist... In short, Not a good thing.

"What did these people practice on weekdays?" Louie asked Tomjanovich in confusion. "Why are you so skilled?"

Tomjanovich said innocently: "This matter really has nothing to do with me."

"It's not right..." Zhao Yuanzheng, who realized his blunder, changed his words instantly~www.wuxiahere.com~ Soldiers bristling and bristling, Coach Lu, their performance just shows that this team has been completely defeated. Put your stamp on it. "

"Expedition, 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 have never taught them this, how high is my quality? What? Have you ever fought like this? Instead, it's this group of people, damn, didn't you see it? There was no one who persuaded the fight just now!"

Louie said sadly: "If this is all suspended, what will we do?"

"Quality of a road coach"?

Does this thing exist?

As Louie's 10-year-old partner, Tomjanovich can responsibly say that his style has been set since Louie knocked out Jack Madden in 1983.

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 punchy!

Why are you so rude! !
