The Rest, Only Noise

Chapter 925 He is not Benj

"John, replace Dennis."

Louie called out John Selly.

Sally stood up.

Judging by his physique, he is really too thin.

Louie used him as a murder-pressing center in the past, and now he's skeptical even as a backup power forward.

Before playing, Sally asked: "Coach, what attitude do we have to take towards this game?"

"A well-regarded regular season, what do you think?" Louie asked.

"Got it," said Sally. "I'll do my best."

Louie is worried about Selly's body, but not his performance.

Sally is a typical smiling tiger.

Within the Knicks, there are three media darlings.

They are Benj, Rodman and Sally.

Needless to say, Wilson is the basketball **** of New York.

Needless to say Rodman, every Knicks game, predicting Rodman's hair color is a fan repertoire.

Wilson was popular for his strength, Rodman was captivated by his equal strength, coupled with various unconventional moves, and his romance with Madonna peaked his fame.

Only Sally, he made his name bit by bit.

From the team's bench to the most out-of-the-box faces of the Knicks, only he knows how much he paid.

Louie's biggest worry about him is also here.

The NBA job isn't the only guy he's begging for, and if he's going to be a media guy, he'll be better off than he is now.

Apparently he has this tendency.

Louie thinks he still has development potential on the court, but he himself seems to have lost his motivation.

After that, the Blazers made two free throws.

Thomas made two free throws, and the Blazers still had the ball.

Mohammad Raouf continued to stimulate Thomas, like a daredevil who didn't know what a red thread was.

Thomas forcibly broke through.

Foul by Raouf.

The Trail Blazers sent the sideline again.

The irritated Thomas is terrible. He still has the ability to tear apart any team's defense with the ball alone. It's just that when the Blazers have too many people who need the ball, he must suppress his desire.

And now, he is full of anger, who dares to ask for the ball at this time?

He's here to hug his thighs, but he's a thigh himself, like Harden in the Nets' days.

What's more, as the only person in this team who has the experience of winning a championship as a core player, he can be said to be the spiritual leader of this team.

The spiritual leader was insulted by some deviant black ***, shouldn't the others support him?

The Trailblazers did just that.

The defense specially designed by Louis for Thomas - double-teaming on the outside, called a pick-and-roll direct switch, is not good in terms of effect.

On several offenses, Thomas either scored or caused a foul, rarely made a forced error, and missed a single shot under high-pressure defense.

He's too mature to pass the ball out whenever he feels uncomfortable being guarded.

Therefore, halfway through the second quarter, Louis called for another time-out.

During the suspension, the first substitutions were made. Stockton replaced Raouf, Kemp replaced Seley, and Miller replaced Reggie Williams.

Then, he saw the change in the other party.

Riley waved, ready to confront the Knicks.

This means that the Blazers will have to resort to a murderous rush comparable to the peak Knicks.

The Blazers copied their homework thoroughly, and their murder press consisted of five athletic, aggressive defensive wings.

They are Jordan, McDaniel, Cauchy, Clifford Robinson and Anthony Mason.

The most amazing thing is that Riley even copied the concept of letting core players lead the way and lead everyone to defend.

At the heart of the Knicks' murder crunch is Wilson.

The Blazers are Jordan.

On the Knicks side, due to Selly's degeneration, Rodman's poor attendance and frequent accidents due to emotional outbursts, they have rarely used murder pressing.

Murder press was originally synonymous with the Knicks, but now it has become the killer of the Blazers.

According to statistics, the Blazers averaged 12 minutes per game with the murder press, and the score per game in the murder press was 17 to 6.

It's a defensive system that can help them build a solid 11-point advantage.

Riley is a face-saving person. He clearly knows that this tactic is copied from the Knicks, but he will not admit it in front of the media.

He'll talk about how their murder press is different from the Knicks from a tactical standpoint.

And the Knicks call their full court press the murder press, and the Blazers call their full court press the Verdun defense.

Even the names are different.

"We have tested the intensity of their full-court pressing in the finals." Louis has long heard the fierce name of Verdun's defense.

He believes that this kind of oppressive full-court pressing may become more powerful due to the improvement of players' tacit understanding and the increase of routines, but the intensity has a limit.

Their intensity is unlikely to exceed the fourth quarter of Game 7 of last season's Finals.

After the start of the game, Jordan and Cauchy's defense brought a lot of trouble to the Knicks.

Cruel indeed.

Every time the Knicks tried to dribble past half court they had to peel off their skin.

Stockton was knocked to the ground several times, but his basic skills in handling and passing were so good that the Blazers couldn't force him to death alone, and two people couldn't stop him from passing the ball.

Murder press is the most taboo to let the opponent pass the ball smoothly.

Because if the ball can be passed freely, no amount of athleticism can stop the players of the murder press from bringing the ball to the front.

Full-court pressing is an all-or-nothing tactic in itself.

The opponent must be locked in the backcourt.

Judging from this game, the Blazers' Verdun defense line has not been strong enough to be indestructible.

Once normal defensive intensity is unreliable, they have to fight hard.

Intense confrontation is bound to have a lot of unnecessary actions.

However, the referee's scale is against them.

It can be said that Jack Ness is blowing the whistle. He does not give the Blazers the opportunity to exert their full strength. As long as he feels that the action is too much, he will whistle.

After Wilson sensed the hint, he turned into the King of Porcelain, holding the ball and rushing towards the opponent.

Nice's whistle really matched, and it sounded again and again.

In less than five minutes, the Blazers fouled 13 times and gave the Knicks multiple free throws.

Although most of the Knicks' scoring came from free throws, it also made the Blazers' Verdun defense meaningless.

If referees continue to maintain this defensive scale, no matter how hard they are defensively, it won't work.

The referee didn't give him a chance to play, Riley could only call for a timeout to adjust.

In the remaining minutes of the first half, the two sides faced each other normally.

Without the restraint of the audience pressing, Jordan opened fire and stormed around a point (Miller).

The Blazers' offensive firepower is above the Knicks.

Especially when the 3-point shot is no longer Jordan's weakness, this monster who averaged 40 points per game in the finals against the Knicks, like Mike Kay, who opened nine and didn't die, has become a player on the court. BUG.

At halftime, Jordan led the Blazers into the second half with a seven-point lead.

"Coach Lu, do you think there is a strength gap between you and Portland after this half?"

Louie replied hilariously: "If this game had been over, I would have told you there was a seven-point gap between us and Portland. But it's only the first half, so I'd say, good show. behind."

When entering the player tunnel, Zhao Yuanzheng provided an anti-logical routine for defending Jordan: "Old way, maybe we can put Jordan's right hand."

Louis stopped and touched his forehead to see if he had a fever.

"Expedition, are you okay?"

"Old Lu, I'm fine, I'm serious."

Uh…

Put Jordan's right hand?

It’s like letting Curry go on the outside every day; it’s like Kobe’s red eye, but the Raptors continue to insist that gentlemen fight only one-on-one; like O’Neal hitting Zhou Qi on the back, Li Ran thinks it’s not a big problem, and Zhou Qi can handle it.

Isn't this a joke?

The dominant hand of the top five breakers in NBA history?

"Tell me what you think." Louie fully respects the whimsy of his subordinates, even if it sounds like the protagonist of a horror movie who likes to explore haunted houses - it's boring.

Zhao Yuanzheng said calmly: "The Blazers are now full of stars, and their biggest problem is the need to reasonably distribute the ball in their hands. Obviously, no team can reasonably distribute the ball to MJ, Charles, Isaiah and Lithuanians. Someone has to make a sacrifice."

"Go on."

"Charles is inside and the ball is not in his hands, so MJ is the one who can divide the ball. The stability of the Blazers depends largely on whether he is selfless enough. If he is unwilling to give up a lot of the ball, The Blazers are going to have problems internally - that's why we're going to let him play with his right hand. We're going to make him forget about his teammates~www.readwn.com~We're going to expose his true nature, he's not Larry, he's not Tragic, he's a selfish player."

At first, Louis really didn't take Zhao Yuanzheng's suggestion seriously.

Now he can't help but seriously think about Zhao Yuanzheng's suggestion.

Hearts are complicated, and he believes Jordan was willing to give up something—like a scoring title and some of the ball—to let Thomas and the others fit into the team.

The scoring champion can give up, because no scoring champion in history has ever led a team to a championship. Although Jordan wanted to be the only one, the Knicks' strength made him realize the reality.

Therefore, he is willing to give up the scoring title, but is he willing to give up the ball? Even if he was willing, how many **** would he be willing to give up?

This thing is worth a try.

"Wrong, expedition." Louis laughed excitedly.

Zhao Yuanzheng asked hesitantly, "Wrong?"

"Your plan is right, but your analogy is wrong. The hillbilly may be selfless, but he's an arrogant bastard, is Erwin selfless? I don't think putting him in Mickey's place, he could do better Good. Neither metaphor is appropriate."

"Then what metaphor is appropriate?"

Louie is like a proud parent: "He's not Benj."

For Louie, the analogy was not only fitting, but also satisfied his pride in Wilson growing up so well.
