The Rest, Only Noise

Within a few rounds, the changes made by the Blazers were fully revealed.

Riley previously let the starter control the intensity in order to smooth the offense, which is a reasonable idea. But it's just too reasonable, and the playoffs are often an unreasonable place.

The more reasonable you are, the more difficult it is to adapt to the difficulties your opponent points out to you.

So they changed their play tonight.

Since the Knicks like the intensity, they will accompany the Knicks to the end.

The Blazers' five-star array spontaneously exerted pressure.

As a result, they found that in high-intensity games, although their offense would be affected, it was obviously stronger than the Knicks.

In order to break Louie's front, Riley chose to let Sabonis get the ball high.

This arrangement, at the expense of Isiah Thomas' ball rights, also opened a new door for the Blazers.

Ewing's ability to blow Sabonis in the first game has something to do with his comfort zone.

Having Sabonis take the ball in the high post is unfamiliar territory for many.

Even Sabonis himself is familiar with this new position.

The Lithuanian is well aware that if he can't play to his satisfaction with Riley's possession, it will be difficult to get the ball later.

For his tactical status, Sabonis had to fight no matter what.

As a result, his performance took Riley by surprise.

Facing Ewing from a high position, he feinted first, then dribbled the ball, and made an emergency stop shot.

From the description, this action looks like a striker's offensive action, but Sabonis does it without any sense of violation.

2 to 0

"Beautiful cast!"

Jordan yelled like a chicken blood: "Defend them!"

The Knicks' tactics hit Wilson.

Coincidentally, it was Nance who was defending him.

Wilson is confident, but no one can hit even the best chance.

Nance's defense was swayed by him. Except for the end, Wilson's performance can be scored full marks.

Only the final ending is deviated.

The shot came out of the basket, Barkley protected the backcourt rebound, and Jordan quickly got down.

Kemp's back defense was quick, but Jordan was equally unafraid of returning to defense.

Even if he was facing Camp, he forcibly ran into it with the fighting spirit of only advancing and never retreating. He had a fierce confrontation with Camp, and then temporarily searched for the center of gravity and hit the board.

The referee seemed to like the ball very much. After Jordan succeeded, he did not forget to mention a body hair that Louis could not understand.

The whistleblower was the referee named Dan Clifford. Although this man was also called Clifford, he was a black man. Naturally, he had nothing to do with Joe Clifford, who was hypersensitive to all "laugh-to-life" behaviors. .

"You tell me what a foul this is!"

Louie roared at him like a tiger guarding its cubs.

Clifford turned a deaf ear.

On the Knicks side, the problems encountered are more serious than Louis imagined.

Wilson didn't feel good at the start, Kemp was exhausted on the defensive end, and the ball could not be given to Miller. Stockton's attacking ability was once again put on the table by the opponent's strategy.

Back in the late 1980s, the Knicks' timeless offensive system was identified by Don Nelson, who was still coaching the Bucks at the time.

Tactics can transcend the times, but how many players can transcend the times?

Nelson sees through one point: as the team's only pure point guard, Stockton is a barometer of the offensive end for the Knicks. If he has a problem, the Knicks' offensive firepower will be greatly reduced.

The Knicks' pick-and-roll system is modern, so limiting them requires a modern approach.

Riley thought of infinite switching.

Nelson directly drew salary from the bottom, and saw through the technical limitations of "Even if Stockton gets a space through pick-and-roll, he can't shoot quickly and score".

Now, these two methods against the Knicks have appeared in the finals, and Stockton's response to Riley did not "disappoint" them.

Whether it's being switched out of position or being given space to shoot, Stockton's technical characteristics and his consistent style of play prevent him from being a game-breaker.

Sabonis' performance at the high post cheered the Portlanders.

He can both shoot and compliment the ball, and he can take a shot or two in one-on-one situations.

He looks like an unathletic version of Sampson.

Except for the Celtics in 1988, the Knicks have never faced an opponent like this.

Not that they haven't seen Sampson's type of player, but, aside from the Celtics, there hasn't been a second team that leaves them defenseless.

Last year's Trail Blazers made it to Game 7 with Jordan and Barkley's individual abilities, but that was limited to individual abilities.

The Blazers' unsophisticated offense today was built on logical play.

This is the scariest place.

In any competitive team sports, once a team abandons the team and chooses individual abilities to fight for victory or defeat, it means that they have reached a dead end, and there is no other way.

The Blazers, as long as they are properly matched, even if they only play tactics, it is difficult to resist the offense.

Opening 21-14, seven minutes later, the Blazers led by seven points.

The Knicks requested a timeout.

Louie has to call the timeout because this lineup alone isn't enough to play against Portland, even if it's their dynasty lineup.

"John, come down and rest."

Stockton sat down. He knew that he had a problem with his game, but he couldn't solve it. It was reasonable to be replaced~www.novelmt.com~ Whenever Louis uses the concept of transcendence to deal with contemporary coaches , tends to produce great results, but once they meet an opponent like Riley, they learn his philosophy in turn.

The timeless concept will soon be caught up, and then they will treat the Knicks with a modern concept.

The ideas of the coaches have kept up, but what about the execution ability of the players?

That's why Stockton was repeatedly dropped by Louis at crucial moments.

For the Knicks, his value is irreplaceable, but in this situation, if Louie wants to break the game, he has to change the ball carrier.

Moreover, it is necessary to change the ball carrier who has the role of threatening the opponent's strategy.

This is the value of Muhammad Raouf.

When Louis's eyes fell on Raouf, he took the initiative to stand up.

"You have to take advantage of Patrick's pick-and-roll, and if you need to pass the ball, try to pass to both corners, and Benj and Reggie will be ready."

Raouf's tandem ability can't compare to Stockton's, so Louis is concise when he sets up his tactics.

He couldn't implement complex tactics, and he didn't need to be too complicated to play the Blazers anyway, so he could just do it as simple as possible.
