The Rest, Only Noise

"I'm so **** proud of him!"

Phil Jackson doesn't see at all where Louie is proud of Sampson, not so much pride as disgust and disgust?

Bird is injured, Thomas is unstable in long shots, but Sampson has no clear shortcomings.

Against the Celtics, the Knicks' youth was a little more restless than usual.

This round of the series, they have been waiting for a year.

Therefore, some people forget how they usually play.

For example, Wilson, his style of play is dominated by his own emotions. After simply running, he is not running according to the established tactics at all.

Bird's defense lost, and Wilson also rushed into the left side of the paint area and hit a jumper.

4 to 5

He made the shot, but not happy because that's not how the Knicks play.

Louie didn't say much, and if Wilson is in good shape, there's no problem with properly singles.

His requirements are mainly on the defensive end.

The Knicks have the ability to avoid the risk of being dislocated and attacked. They have excellent mobility in every position on the court, the defense is fast, and the rotation speed is fast. I am afraid that only the pioneers with overflowing talents from the flanks can match them. comparable.

On the other hand, the Knicks have to face the same troubles. The Celtics can switch defenses indefinitely, or they can partially attack the ball carrier, rotate the weak side quickly, and continue to provide timely assistance in the interior.

It's just that the Celtics are more famous for their inexplicable offense.

The four offensive systems that Louie left behind have dipped into their bones.

Thomas holds the ball and plays with Bird.

In a typical No. 1 system, Bird got the ball high, ignored the Knicks' tight defense, and hit the ball to Laimbeer in the crowd.

Laimbeer scored.

7 to 4

Thomas stepped back when Stockton called the pick-and-roll.

Stockton didn't have the ability to catch the ball in the pick-and-roll and punish opponents with jumpers.

So, the pick-and-roll was frustrated, and he gave the ball to McHale.

Ranbir defended McHale, and the two sides were high one-on-one.

McHale started to pretend he was about to shoot, dribble low, collect the ball, fake it, and shoot again.

The process was brilliant, but underestimated the Celtics' defensive capabilities.

Sampson, like a griffin, flew out to fan the ball out of the corner.

The Knicks have eight seconds left.

Louie saw something different this round. After Bird's athleticism deteriorated, the Celtics increasingly used him at the 4 on the inside guard to take advantage of his size and strength to avoid getting caught by opponents. Athletic striker against.

As a result, Sampson often has to defend the opposing 3.

In this era, most small forwards are not good at long-range shooting, so Sampson's flexibility is not a problem, he is enough to play against 99% of small forwards.

Now the situation has changed. Bird has an injury on his back and cannot go to the restricted area and fight inside. Therefore, the Celtics have to stick to the traditional inside defense.

It doesn't seem like a big deal that the Celtics' matchup returns to normal.

This kind of thinking is not correct. If it often appears in the interior, Sampson's high-level sweeping ability will be much weaker. Being forced to play against a nimble small forward like Wilson would put him in a dilemma of being beaten up every possession and having to be wiped by his teammates.

The accident ensued, and Bird said to Wilson, "You're just a little idiot."

Wilson doesn't like trash-talking, but that doesn't mean he's willing to listen to other people's trash-talking about him. No, it was also difficult for him to accept.

Ever since Wilson joined the Knicks, he's been the culprit of the Celtics.

Every time against the Celtics, it is his ShowTime.

K.C. Jones' assistant, Jimmy Rodgers, had an idea: "Ron is better suited to guard Wilson."

"What about Miller?" K.C asked.

Rodgers affirmed: "He's a rookie. Although it has taken a season to adapt to the three-point line, it is not easy, especially in the playoffs where the competition is very intense."

Rodgers persuaded K.C, and the Celtics switched again.

In the past, Bird would defend the opponent's power forward, but this time, he was relegated to defend the Knicks' No. 2 Reggie Miller.

His speed is definitely not as fast as Miller, so how to give Miller a physical confrontation and how the rest of the Celtics rotate after defensive problems are the most important issues they need to think about now. Valley

7 seconds, 6 seconds, 5 seconds, Miller ran out of opportunities.

Stockton passes the ball.

A moment before Miller's shot, Isaiah Thomas appeared. His height affected his defensive intensity, but it did not affect Miller's shooting after he jumped out of a one-meter height.

"boom!"

"I didn't expect you to even touch the ball, you're softer than I thought!" Harper laughed.

Wilson stopped the Celtics with a foul and responded, "Let Larry guard me!"

Louie noticed their on-court communication, and the Celtics knew how to upset their opponents.

Re-serving to the frontcourt, Bird suddenly turned sideways against Wilson's body.

After the teammate's ball came, the others pulled away to the weak side, giving Bird a chance to single against Wilson.

Louie watched them face off, and Wilson was inferior to Bird in two things.

Height and weight, which in turn represent strength and shot points.

Bird's tentative passing moves distract Wilson, dropping the ball to the ground, dribbling with his left hand, and using his body forward force to swing his elbow with his right hand when driving to the left. The skills are clearly presented in front of everyone at this moment.

The audience in the garden was not surprised, and even the two notorious referees condoned Bird's extra moves.

Bird's right elbow drove Wilson, made an emergency stop, and pulled the ball up.

Wilson probably didn't even know what he was doing when he heard the referee whistle blowing him for a foul on Bird's cylinder.

He didn't jump and watched Bird throw the ball.

"Shh!"

AndOne!

"Did everyone say we can't deal with you, and you really think that's the truth?" Bird said grimly, "You better get out of my face, or I can't help but get the **** on your head. 50 points!"

"Keep calm, Benj!"

Louie felt like he was making a pointless effort.

Keeping Wilson calm is like keeping Garnett calm.

They both have personalities on fire. Wilson knows how to restrain himself better than Garnett, but if he can't vent the anger in his heart, it will spontaneously ignite.

Before Stockton called for tactics, Wilson raised his hand for the ball.

Louie can't stop him because he's the only player with the Knicks' perimeter franchise.

He was used as an ace by Louie and could play singles with the ball when necessary.

Stockton can only pass the ball over if he thinks it's a "time of necessity".

The person who defended him was Harper~www.readwn.com~ The Celtics continued to let Harper guard him. This time, Wilson did not hesitate, dribbled the ball decisively, and tore up Harper's defense, but the Celtics had already Prepare.

Bird, who was supposed to switch to Miller, suddenly appeared next to Wilson to flank.

During the regular season, Wilson had 5 assists per game.

But his assist numbers, like Kevin Durant and Kawhi Leonard, look a lot, but a lot of them are due to his own offensive threat, or the team's play system. Wilson's assists are due to the maturity of the Knicks' system, and he also has a selfless heart, not how good his offense is.

Therefore, the Celtics chose to double-team him, which seemed to be a bold strategy, but in fact it was accurate and fell into a pain point.

Wilson, who has lost his mind, has no idea of ​​passing the ball when he knows that Miller falls into the open position, and thinks that Bird's double-team will not have any impact.

He was completely wrong.

Bird is now a single defender with 10,000 stabs, but when defending, his experience and defensive position are as valuable as anyone else.

He doesn't need blocks or steals, he just needs to be in the right position, at the right time, to have a serious impact on his opponent.

Wilson forcibly missed in the face of a double team, Sampson scored the rebound, gave the ball to Bird, and Bird led Harper to the fast break.

12 to 4

Louis came to the technical station with a sullen face and said, "I'm going to pause."

Stockton dribbled over halftime, the referee whistled, and the game entered the Knicks' timeout.

"As I said, the Celtics are different from the teams the Knicks have faced before," Billy 1 Cunningham said happily. "LittleLu has nothing to do!"

Tom Heinsohn, who always stood by the Celtics without a brain, laughed: "I dare not say that."
