The Rest, Only Noise

Against a team like the Knicks, the Blazers have to do well, similar to their opponents.

Needless to say rebounding, both teams are strong teams in rotation and counterattacks. Only by protecting the rebounding can they play their own strengths.

Back off defense, this is the worst thing the Blazers have done so far.

Four of the seven points the Knicks scored came from the defensive counter.

There's another detail that Louie thinks Pitino won't necessarily notice — switching discipline.

Who was the one who faced Wilson when the Blazers stopped the counterattack?

Terry Potter!

He's a good starting point guard, but if he doesn't find the right man on the counter, Wilson will blow it up that way.

This seems to be Porter's mistake, but the root of the mistake is actually on the Blazers' coaching staff.

If the arrangement of the coaching staff is in place, the players will not be in a hurry.

It is necessary to maintain order when retreating, find the right person, and even if you switch defenses, you can't give too outrageous dislocations.

This is the discipline of shifting defenses. Obviously, Pitino didn't put too much emphasis on this matter to his players. He was only responsible for telling them how to defend. He may also care about the details of the defense, but he will not retreat to Porter. Anti-time dislocation objected to Wilson.

In his opinion, it is enough to be in the upper position.

So, the Blazers players came off the court and heard their head coach yell: "Fall back faster! Don't be obsessed with offensive rebounds, know that the Knicks led the league in fast break points last season! This is Their best offensive style, we have to stop them from that, and the purpose of the offense should be more clear, Michael has an advantage against anyone, and Rick has a matchup advantage in the interior, don't let the space they deliberately let Confused, it is likely to be a trap, we must follow our plan step by step!"

"Dennis, you replace John."

Louis replaced Sally, who was originally a pseudo-starter mainly to confuse opponents.

"The first two minutes, we did a good job, next, we have to pay attention that when we run the system, the Portlanders will respond with their switch defenses, no matter how many pick-and-rolls we do, they will rely on their own athleticism. "Louis draws an ugly center point on the board, high above the free throw line." Rick Schmitz is tall, but he's not Ralph Sampson, any of us with the ball When facing him, the hand should seize the opportunity to blow up his defense with speed; in addition, Drexler is another weakness of the Portlanders on the defensive line, his defense with the ball is very strong, And he's used to using his athleticism to protect the rim, but he's weak off the ball, so we can find a way to create opportunities on him."

The Blazers came back from a suspension, and the offensive end has improved significantly.

Schmitz went high up for Porter's pick-and-roll.

Porter hits the pick-and-roll and breaks through. If the Blazers only have one inside pick-and-roll, the Knicks usually follow the four. This is also the reason why Louie replaced Rodman. He is sensitive enough to defend from the No. 1 position to the No. 5 position.

Porter made a pull-up jumper, and with Rodman's interference, his shot was difficult to find.

"boom!"

But Schmitz, who cut into the restricted area, used his height to cover Bowie, who was better positioned, and put the ball into the basket.

4 to 7

Unlike the Blazers, the Knicks' "2High" strategy is always done by two insiders who come up high.

But because one of them was named Rodman and his shot was notoriously bad, Schmitz had the guts to stay in the paint.

But that would leave his high-ranking teammates passive.

Even if Rodman isn't an offensive threat at all, he can still help.

He gave Stockton a pick-and-roll, and Bowie picked up a chain screen.

Stockton's ball to Wilson in the high post.

At this point, Jordan was dragged by Rodman again, and no one could guard Wilson because Schmitz was still in the paint.

Wilson had an easy shot, 9-4.

"Rick, are you going to spend Thanksgiving at the basket?" Louie scoffed bitterly.

Schmitz's heart was a little messed up.

When Porter played the pick-and-roll with him again, Rodman still guarded Porter. Stockton did not intend to chase Schmitz, he chose to block one side of the ball.

Schmitz caught the ball, but he couldn't get it to the rim due to Bowie's interference.

Nance wanted to hit the rebound, but Rodman came back at the fastest speed and moved the rebound from Linance's position to his own position.

His continuous take-off ability, how to say, anyway, from which angle Louis looks at him, he is a sense of sight of Sakuragi Flower Road.

The Blazers retreated much more decisively than before. Wilson was too confident, and Jordan blocked his one-stop counterattack.

The Trail Blazers also wanted a counterattack after winning the rebound. Jordan confidently passed the top of the arc and hesitantly walked past Miller, who was on defense, and went straight to the basket.

However, his fellow student Sam Bowie had been waiting for this moment.

Jordan's dunk was blocked by Bowie.

"Sam Bowie's performance makes me feel like Patrick Ewing isn't hurt!"

"His defense is amazing!"

There is a power of desire in Bowie.

When encountering these brilliant classmates, this power will expand more and more.

He also wants to prove to others that he is worthy of the top five picks.

Even if no one will regard him as a superstar, in his heart, he is a player of the same level as the big dream, the trapeze, the flying pig, Alvin Robertson and Stockton.

This time, Jordan's backstop fell behind as Bowie's block landed him.

Without Jordan, the leader, to block the Knicks' counter-attack forward, the Blazers were flustered. Stockton saw Louie point to the corner, and then found Miller running towards him at top speed.

No verbal communication was required, just a glance, Stockton passed the ball, he gave the advance amount to ensure that the Miller people arrived, and his pass also arrived.

Miller caught the ball, turned around, and made a three-pointer, but the Blazers couldn't prevent it.

The big-hearted shooter with upside potential better than Dale Ellis scrambled the Blazers' coaching staff with a 3-pointer.

12 to 4

It's only been two minutes since the last time the Blazers called a timeout.

This time, do you want to call it a pause?

The worst thing about college coaches is that they can't tolerate flaws, and Pitino thinks he'll be at a huge disadvantage if he continues to play like that.

He wanted to call a timeout, but was dissuaded by assistant coach Ernie Grunfeld: "Rick, I think you should at least give MJ another chance."

Yes, the two waves of attacks just now, although they didn't make it, were just bad luck. Even if a timeout is called, what can be arranged?

Let Schmitz hit all the shots? Or let Jordan be sure to stand firm when he encounters a block, not to fall on the ground and affect the defense?

Pitino resisted the urge to call timeout again.

Jordan dribbled the ball from the backcourt, and his opponent Wilson, as usual, gave him a 3-pointer.

This is the first game of the new season, and no one knows how much Jordan has strengthened in the offseason.

Jordan's response to Wilson's shorting was surprising.

At a forty-five-degree angle on the right wing, when faced with an open three-pointer, Jordan pulled up and shot.

"Yes." Louis thought to himself.

Sure enough, Jordan hit the three-pointer.

Is the first three-pointer of the new season a coincidence or the result after special training?

If the tragic master was forced by Lu Kai to practice an average of 2 goals per game and a 40% three-point shooting rate, it would not be surprising that Jordan was forced to practice three-pointers in advance to help his teammates free up offensive space. ?

The impression of "Jordan is weak in three points" is almost engraved in Louie's blood. Did the other party really strengthen this biggest shortcoming because of his appearance?

Wilson looked over, wondering whether to adjust the defensive strategy.

If you don't let Jordan's 3-pointer, Wilson will have to defend himself.

Personal defense against Jordan? Even in the Hand-checking era, no matter who guards Jordan closely, he will end up in one step.

"Continue to let him shoot, I really don't believe that guy can practice three-pointers in one summer!" Louie said with a lack of confidence.

Tomjanovich asked, "What would happen if Michael actually made a three-pointer?"

"It's nothing," Louie said with a smile, "probably became the 50 years in the past and the next 50 years, no matter which era is the offensive point where the defensive side can't be countered."

Tomjanovich looked at Louis's inexplicable smile.

In the game, the momentum often affects the performance of the players.

This is true of all sports. The more morale the team, the better it is.

Jordan's three-pointer interrupted the Knicks' rhythm. The Knicks' response was obviously a problem that Schmitz couldn't prevent, but they missed the shot.

Jordan grabbed the rebound that popped out of the paint, feinted a shot, and moved past Rodman, who was trying to press him.

He dribbled the ball forward alone, raised his free left hand, and swiped left and right, which meant, "I'll do it myself, don't get in the way!"

Miller came over from a dislocation and spouted trash talk boldly: "I thought you would be disabled after you were injured!"

Jordan snorted and dribbled the ball to a forty-five-degree angle on the right to make an emergency stop~www.readwn.com~ actually made a three-pointer regardless of his opponent.

"Shh!"

"You idiots in New York want to **** me?" Jordan sneered sternly, "It won't be possible in another ten years!"

The problem is big, Jordan probably strengthened the three-pointer during the holiday?

In just two rounds, the 12-4 score went to 12-10 all at once.

Jordan's offense was fast and his perimeter was hot, and Louie wasn't sure if it was an accidental burst or if the 3-pointer had really entered his regular arsenal.

It's easy to check this out.

First, Louie wants to call a timeout.

Even Jordan can't completely master the three-pointer in one summer. His two three-pointers just now were shot at a 45-degree angle on the right side. When he dribbled the ball over, he obviously had the opportunity to take a wider field of vision. The top of the arc, but deliberately went to the right wing.

"Take a three-pointer in one summer? Believe it or not, I don't believe it anyway!" Louis took the tactical board and had already figured out how to target it.
