"There's only one strategy that's necessary for us, and that's to play aggressive defense against MJ, and if he calls the pick-and-roll, delay and then pinch to prevent him from getting a comfortable shot. If he passes, we have to Rely on the follow-up defense rotation and the center's recovery speed to deal with the Blazers' partial play."

During the timeout, Louie made the Blazers' strategy very clear.

For the Blazers, Pat Riley made the change by replacing Bruce Edwards with Terry Porter.

In this way, although there is one less pressing wing in the frontcourt, there are more ball handlers and shooters on the offensive end who can help Jordan share the pressure.

In essence, the Blazers' strategy has not changed, and they still focus on pressing the whole court.

It's just that the first problem they have to deal with is that the positional battle has turned into a situation where Jordan beats the other four by himself.

"It seems that nothing has changed, right?"

Louie just wanted to complain after watching the Blazers' offense after the substitution.

Porter stood at the top of the arc as a fort, and Jordan played alone with the ball. This time, the Knicks' double-team was not formed immediately, and Wilson's defense was passed.

Jordan came to the paint, and the Knicks' two insiders, Ewing and Rodman, appeared from the left and right to clamp him.

Rodman boldly undermined Jordan's center of gravity, an action that the referee was more disgusted with.

Hollins blew the whistle decisively, and Jordan threw the ball in the air with a very uncoordinated posture, hitting the board.

6 to 11

If the penalty is also entered, the two sides are only 4 points apart.

As a result, Jordan's penalty was not able to throw, but it has given the Blazers the opportunity to press the Knicks.

"It's '2243'!" Louie yelled.

After getting the information from Louie, Ewing sent a long pass from the backcourt according to the cracking method set by the Knicks, reached the midfield position smoothly, and was caught by Ainge.

Even though the ball went well through half court, the physical confrontation brought by the Blazers was still worrying.

Louie saw Wilson and McDaniel both fall to the ground.

This kind of physical confrontation has long gone beyond the scope of basketball games and is closer to American football without protective gear.

The mission of the X-Men is to exhaust the core personnel of the Knicks. At present, although he has suffered many losses, he has also completed the mission brilliantly.

The Blazers accurately captured Wilson's combative mentality.

They knew that Wilson wouldn't refuse this kind of hand-to-hand combat on an uncommon scale.

"This kid is too messy! He is a core player, how can he be entangled with the opponent's thugs?" Doug Mo said dissatisfied.

Van Gundy, however, expressed appreciation for Wilson's approach: "Benj has a blue-collar heart."

Louie didn't interfere too much with Wilson's style of play, and if he's used to playing that way, letting him play this way and forcing him to change could have the opposite effect.

The Blazers' defense succeeded in keeping the Knicks' offense passive.

The intensity of the game still exceeded the expectations of the Knicks coaching staff.

The referees seem to have negotiated, to give the greatest support to the physical confrontation of those without the ball, and to tolerate those fouls that would usually be severely punished.

This indulgence of off-ball contact is not good for the Knicks.

Their system has a lot of off-ball tactics. If the opponent can ignore the rules and directly violate the player's body when running off-ball tactics, even if they run out of opportunities, how confident are they that they can throw the ball in?

Angie executes the attack according to Louis' plan.

Louie asked him for more than just a three-pointer.

Although Ainge basically played as a shooter in the Knicks, if the opponent's attention is all on his shot, he can use his shot as a guise to make the opponent's judgment go wrong.

Go to the basket more, which is also Louis' request to Ainge.

In this round, the Knicks' perimeter tactics were locked by the Blazers' iron-blooded defense, and Ainge made an unexpected choice.

First feint with a shot fake, then dribble to the restricted area.

If it wasn't for Ainge's sudden move, Louis would have almost forgotten that when he first entered the league, his selling point was breakthroughs, and his shooting was slowly practiced later.

If one of the two Reggies is not injured, Ainge will never be the starting No. 2.

Getting a start in the Finals was something Ainge never thought of when he came to the Knicks. Now that he has this rare opportunity, he has to find ways to surrender all his energy.

Ainge rushed to the paint to collect the ball and hit Clifford Robinson directly.

The referee acquiesced to this, and Ainge, who failed to cause a foul, hurriedly handed the ball to Ewing, who was off the line.

Ewing slammed into the Blazers' defense with one step, but was also interfered by Nance and missed.

The rebound almost fell into Robinson's hands. Suddenly, Rodman, who was cutting in from the flank, picked up the ball, fixed his position, took off a second time, and lifted the ball again. Every time the ball is picked up by Rodman, it flies to a position more favorable to him.

For the third time, Rodman took the rebound. At that moment, Wilson already realized how to play this game. He smashed a fierce and powerful elbow according to McDaniel's body, and turned the opponent to the ground on the spot. Running behind Rodman, "Dennis!"

Rodman turned back and passed the ball, Wilson received the ball and made a three-pointer.

14 to 7

Riley frantically yelled at the referee: "He's doing this (doing an elbow swing)! Don't tell me you didn't see it!"

That position happened to be within the field of vision of the deputy referee Jesse Kersey.

Few people know that he has a good relationship with Louis.

When Louis and Lorraine were married, he was the only referee invited.

Kexi shook his head with a smile: "Pat, I didn't see it."

"You fucking..."

"You'd better control your emotions." Kexi kept smiling, "I forgive you this time, but if you don't respect my work so much, I can only take corresponding measures to protect my rights."

Riley's oil head was about to explode with anger, "Your rights? Who the **** will protect our rights? This is our home court, where are our rights?"

Hugh Hollins has taught his colleagues with practical actions, and it is useless to talk with a coach who doesn't care about the referee.

The notorious referee, who has always liked to change the course of the game, came forward for Kersey and gave Riley a technical foul.

Riley's runaway not only did not gain any rights for the Blazers, but also sent the Knicks two free throws.

"Coach Riley really doesn't rub the sand in his eyes." The tragic master felt a lot of emotion when he saw Riley make such a fuss over a penalty.

Costas found the funniest thing in the dispute: "LittleLu actually appeared not far from Coach Riley, just like asking for the wind."

Louie is indeed a "good thing". After Riley was blown T, not only was he not happy, but he also "speaked up righteously" for Riley, "Hugh, this is too much, Jesse didn't give Coach Riley a technical foul."

Hollins gave Louis an angry look, "LittleLu, go back to your position, if you do, I'll give you a technical foul as well!"

"Of course, who doesn't know that you are the referee you can't provoke in the professional basketball circle."

Hugh Hollins could not have imagined that Louis's mouth could be so heartwarming today.

Riley doesn't believe Louie has good intentions, but he can't judge it either.

When the storm subsided, the Knicks did not pay any price, and the Blazers gave the opponent free throws and the ball in vain.

"From now on, we will focus on the '2High' (double-high inside) offense," Louie said. "We have an advantage in the inside, General, take advantage of this advantage and find a way to beat their inside to me! Look! Looking at Patrick's disgusting face, he can't wait!"

Stockton nodded as he listened to Louis say ~www.readwn.com~.

At the free throw line, the Knicks let Wilson, who has been hot since the opening, make a free throw.

This is not only to trust his feel, but also to maintain his feel.

Louie saw obvious scratches on Wilson's hands, which were undoubtedly left in the off-ball confrontation.

McDaniel is not a good character to be with.

However, looking at Wilson like this, Louis is not only not worried, but also confident.

Most of the core players need to be protected from being overwhelmed.

Wilson is an outlier, just like he has a blue-collar heart.

Suddenly, Louie whistled—after Wilson made two free throws.

"I suddenly changed my mind, Benj is so good, let him play the next ball!"

Louie shouted.

"Benjamin!"

Stockton is the only Knicks player who doesn't like to call Wilson "Benj."

He thinks that calling each other by nicknames should be people who are very close, but he and Wilson are just ordinary colleagues.

Wilson ran over to take the ball from Stockton.

Trail Blazers villain Xavier McDaniel accompanies him all the way.

"BenjVSX-Man!"

Wilson dribbled the ball with his left hand and pointed to the top of the arc, "I'll end your defense and shoot from this position."

"You **** dreaming, nigga!" As soon as McDaniel's voice fell, Wilson took his first step forward and drove him to a dead end.

McDaniel lost control of his center of gravity and fell to the ground in an instant.

Wilson dribbled the ball under his crotch to switch the rhythm, and took the ball within half a second.

"Shhh!!"
