The Rest, Only Noise

Some players belong to college basketball.

Some coaches are also only suitable for college basketball.

Rick Pitino is one of those coaches, with his culling system, with obvious disciplinary issues. But this disciplinary problem isn't caused by laxity or by player inaction.

As if a director screwed up the co-stars of Akibu Yoshizawa and Yuma Asami, you can't blame these two superstars for not being good at their jobs because their business prowess has been tested for a long time.

Only bad scripting and inept oversight can screw it all up.

In fact, Pitino's culling system is the answer to the Knicks. However, he lacks control over the details of switching defenses, often giving Porter on Wilson, Porter on Rodman, and even Porter on John Selley. .

If you put a guard out of position to defend against Wilson and Rodman, who have overwhelming athleticism and size, let alone switch to insiders like Bowie and Salley, isn't that a **** monkey, baboon?

And a coaching method like Pitino that focuses on defense and requires all players to slaughter the offensive team, the training of the offense is always bad.

Fortunately, the Blazers have Jordan and Drexler.

It is indeed due to these two people that although the Trail Blazers' positional defense was penetrated, the offensive end maintained a back-and-forth momentum.

Drexler, in particular, proved his ability last season. This season, his ball possession has greatly increased, and he is no longer a secondary character who smokes in the corner and has no ashtrays.

Relying on these two people, the Blazers were only 4 points behind in the first quarter.

In the second quarter, the Blazers replaced Jordan to rest, let Drexler play the point guard, and played five flanks with Anthony Mason, Clifford Robinson, Jerome Curcy and Blue Edwards SF. They were the norm last season.

In this lineup, Robinson and Mason are insiders.

But Robinson's main position is the 3, and Mason is the swingman at the 3 or 4, which means that Pitino plays a five-up front.

This scene seems familiar.

"If the Knicks play five small forwards, we know what's going to happen," Marv Albert said.

Louie knew Pitino wanted to take the Knicks to justify his strategy.

This five front line is obviously to play the whole court pressing.

Just looking at the lineup can really startle people, but Mason's combat power is still very general at the moment, Robinson and Edwards are just rookies, and only Cauchy and Drexler have mature combat power.

Looking at it this way, isn't it better?

Pitino's culling system is dominated by a 2-2-1 full court press.

This kind of pressing method, in college, can bully other teams with uneven quality of personnel with strong physical and combat ability, in the NBA, unless the five players on the court have top athletic ability. Otherwise, it is difficult to achieve the same effect.

Louie couldn't be forewarned, he couldn't guess that Pitino was going to give him eye drops.

According to the normal rotation, his eyes fell on the two rookies with eagerness written on their faces.

"Not counting the preseason, today is your real debut. I allow each of you to make three mistakes. If you make more than three mistakes, you will be handed towels off the court, understand?"

Camp and West both nodded vigorously.

Louis immediately set the Knicks lineup for the second quarter: Ainge, Doug West, Stevens, Rodman, Kemp.

Kevin McHale, who didn't start in the first quarter, still didn't start in the second quarter.

McHale sat firmly off the court, and he didn't worry about his minutes.

Before Kemp came on the court, Willis Reed came to him and put his hands on his shoulders: "A rookie has to be a rookie, start with defense, start with all the things that everyone hates, don't think about it. Show off!"

Camp pursed his lips and nodded vigorously.

"Don't listen to Willis' nonsense. If you have a chance, even if you dunk, I just want to see you dunk. You can just fly, Willis, I'll take care of it." Louis gave Kemp a completely different instruction.

Kemp knew who the coach was, and he knew who to listen to.

"Yes, coach, my coach!"

Stupid Camp didn't know that Louie was disgusting. Hearing him shout like that, half of Louie's love for him has disappeared.

Zhao Yuanzheng saw that Louis' face was wrong, and immediately hid away.

When Louie saw the Blazers lineup, he knew Pitino was going to be tough.

Unsurprisingly, Cauchy and Robinson were the frontrunners.

Drexler and Edwards at the back of the midfield.

Mason, as a short power forward, is actually the only guarantee in the backcourt.

The Knicks are also at risk. The only reliable ball handler on the court is Ainge. Stevens may be the one to help. The backup options are Kemp and West.

When Ke Xi came up, he wanted to force Ainge to make a mistake. He and Robinson worked together to force the ball out of bounds.

But the ball still belongs to the Knicks.

This defensive intensity and confrontation actually appeared in the opener, showing how much the Blazers wanted to ruin the Knicks' celebration.

"Alex."

Louie reminds Stevens to give Angie some help.

The initial discomfort, after a period of actual combat test, Anji has dealt with it a lot more calmly.

Also, Stevens is a wing who can handle the ball.

The Blazers' full-court pressing is full of pressure, but not strong.

The Knicks repeatedly broke through the Blazers' blockade, and Brent Musberg asked his partner: "Hubby, how do you think Portland's full-court press is different from New York?"

Hubie Brown said sarcastically: "Portland's full-court pressing is like a college student's play, it's a bit of a show, and it's often difficult to distinguish between primary and secondary. Although the scene is lively, it actually doesn't interfere much with the opponent; while New York's full-court press is a little tricky. Pressing...I'm exaggerating, the intensity is American football level, and whenever the Knicks are in a full-court press, the game should be immediately marked 'under 16 must be accompanied by parents' label!"

The Knicks' lineup does not have a reliable offensive player.

To score, you need five people to cooperate.

Rodman is selfless, and Stevens is also selfless. Angie knows that he is the big brother on the court, so he is very loud, and he is extremely demanding on the movement of the two rookies.

As soon as Kemp got in the wrong place, Angie roared: "Damn it's not there!"

Even so, Ainge seized the moment when Rodman and Stevens both screened on the weakside, West ran, and Kemp did a fake pick-and-roll backcut.

He picked up the ball and passed it with both hands.

A beautiful countercut made Kemp throw off Drexler, he caught the ball, and in an instant, he completely exploded.

Except for Wilkins and his high school fake lover, no one was as violent as him.

With the exception of Shaq O'Neal in the NBA, no one can stand up against his body like he does without diminishing his physical upside.

"God, this kid is ruling the exclusion zone like a ReignMan!"

"Wow oh oh oh ~~~" Louie shouted excitedly, "Xiao Xiao, another one! Another one!"

The ball went in against Mason's body, and it was amazing.

Louie has never coached such a powerful player. Compared with him, what a dunk like Bird Benj Ewing is!

What, he said something he shouldn't have said? Tong Yan Wuji, what is there to care about?

Willis Reed didn't know what to say. He told Kemp not to be too pushy. As a result, the kid made a deep impression on the audience when he came up.

"Lu, under your control..." Tomjanovich said helplessly, "It's a bit of a gaffe!"

"What a handsome boy!" Louie shouted triumphantly. "I'm going to design 100 alleys for him! Let Billy do it tonight!"

Donovan, who was not far away, was soft on his feet and was almost intimidated.

"Isn't it bad for you to do this to Billy? He's just turned regular." Tomjanovich had a sympathetic heart.

Louie patted Tomjanovich on the shoulder: "Think about what I did under Coach Fitch. It is the coach's duty to exploit every assistant. Only in this way will they remember that they climbed up step by step. Easy, and then doubling down on your own teaching assistants, it's a great tradition that I want to pass on endlessly from generation to generation."

"You speak so arrogantly~www.readwn.com~ but I hear the creeps..."

It was at this time that Kemp fanned out a big cap while assisting the defense.

Then, following up on the fast break, his speed is terrifying, not as fast as an insider.

He was too excited and tried to dunk Angie's ball, but the ball dunked.

All of a sudden Willis Reed was furious: "Damn high school student, have you **** your brain! #￥@%..."

Louis quickly came over to put out the fire and excused the high school students: "Don't be angry, Willie, at least... Pin Xiao's dunk action is quite stretchy and handsome."

"Coach Lu, you are hurting that kid by pampering him like that!" Reed was serious. "He is still very young, and it is time to learn the rules of the court."

"Yes, yes... Didn't I stop you from scolding him? It was purely my personal feeling just now, please don't mind. You scold him more, and I love him more."

Reed was so angry that he couldn't speak, and Louie was already trying to get Kemp to take the top ten dunks of the year.
