The Rest, Only Noise

The Trailblazer's Verdun line was designed to mimic the Knicks' murderous rush, but its purpose and effect were quite different from its original.

Murder pressing is just like its name, as long as you use it, you don't want to leave your opponent alive.

You can feel its strength just by looking at the name.

The Verdun line of defense is not the same, Riley is learning to improve. He regards all changes in the game as coaching opportunities, and he hopes to be able to grasp the opportunity as accurately as Louis.

Therefore, he would stand on the sidelines and remotely control the Verdun line of defense.

When the Verdun defense couldn't overwhelm the Knicks with normal intensity, Riley called for a timeout.

At that time, the Blazers had only one piece of good news: Jordan felt hot in the second quarter and had made two 3-pointers.

Tonight's Jordan reminded Louie of the Jordan who set the record for halftime three-point shooting against the Blazers in Game 1 of the 1992 Finals in his previous life.

If that's the case, it's even more impossible to let him vote.

Facing the players, Louis arranged in detail; "I don't want Mitch to get the opportunity to shoot open shots again. If he is positioned beyond the three-point line, no matter what position he is in, our defense must keep up with it as soon as possible. He holds the ball and directly activates the 'law'. Our principle is to stop Mickey from scoring at any cost, and secondly, when dealing with Portland's perimeter players, try to use rotation to interfere. If they want to shoot, let them shoot, and the interference is in place. , don't let them dribble to the basket."

On the Blazers side, Riley asked Jordan directly: "Mj, do you trust your teammates?"

Jordan replied without hesitation: "They are the best teammates!"

"Then trust them!"

"How do you believe it?" Jordan asked.

Riley said calmly: "You just need to shoot your threes, leave the breakthrough to your teammates, and you just wait for them to get the ball into your hands."

Riley did not let Thomas, Barkley, Sabonis, and Nance play the four main players.

Still Jordan with four backups.

But in the lineup, Riley has made some adjustments.

Mason was substituted because he wasn't aggressive enough defensively, and Riley wasn't confident enough to overwhelm the Knicks by relying solely on defensive intensity.

Replacing Mason does not mean that the Blazers will give up the Verdun defense.

Riley replaced Alvin Robertson.

He took the ball, Jordan went back to the 2, Cauchy went to the 3, McDaniel rotated the 4, and Clifford Robinson naturally came to the 5.

Riley's rotation was brilliant, as he managed to turn the Blazers' Verdun defense from four players who could switch indefinitely to five.

The only problem is the tacit understanding of Robertson and his teammates.

But now that we have reached the finals, no matter how many personal thoughts there are, they can be put down.

For Robertson, he's not sure if this year is the only chance of his life, and he has to fight.

The Knicks' lineup also changed, and Louis replaced Yu Tiancan, who was exhausted.

This kind of rhythm on the field is really not suitable for a big center. Yu Tiancan played 5 minutes in the second quarter and made no other contributions except picking up 3 rebounds.

He seemed to be on the outside, transformed into a robot that kept running back and forth.

Come back in the second quarter, 37 to 34, the two sides are only 3 points away.

Riley's insistence on using the Verdun line of defense was something that Louis could have expected, but turning Jordan into a full-time shooter and handing over all the offensive planning of this lineup to Robertson was something that Louis did not expect.

Riley was kicked out of this lineup because Robertson was unable to fit into the Verdun defense.

Now that he's back, what does it mean?

Riley went to the doctor in a hurry? But now the Blazers are in the lead, and it's not the Blazers' turn to be seriously ill.

Pause back, Blazers possession.

Robertson had the ball from the backcourt, and Stockton didn't want to make it too easy for him, so he took the initiative to lead the defense.

Good idea, just a little rash.

It doesn't matter if the opponent is someone else, Robertson's physicality crushes Stockton.

Stockton's strength prevails, but that alone is not enough.

Jordan and Robertson run forward together.

The trapeze could respond at any time, and Stockton seemed to be afraid of that. As a result, after halftime, Robertson didn't give Jordan the ball.

Until Jordan was in position, Miller's defensive footsteps kept up, but he subconsciously regarded Jordan as a loophole without three points and chose to enlarge the space by half a meter.

This deadly defensive habit has been built up over the years.

Before this year, Jordan's three-pointer wasn't worth taking seriously.

Even if Louie highlighted it during the timeout, Miller still had leeway on defense.

Robertson deftly throws the ball to Jordan.

Miller lowered his center of gravity and prepared to prevent breakthroughs. As a result, Jordan did not plan to break through him at all, tossing the ball, shooting?

Miller was in a trance, the ball in Jordan's hand had already flown out.

"Shh!"

"In the second quarter, Michael made 3 of 3 outside shots!"

"His perimeter shot is as decisive as if he had lost something at that position."

Louie looked livid, and roared at Miller: "Reggie, if you give Mickey a little more **** space to shoot, just get off me and stop hitting!"

Miller knew that he had made a mistake and was madly sprayed by Louis on the spot, and he did not complain.

In addition to admitting mistakes, but also correcting mistakes.

Real men should take responsibility for themselves.

Miller is completely unafraid of Jordan, but the Knicks also need to break through the Verdun defense if they want to push the ball into the frontcourt.

Originally the person who faced Stockton was Jordan, and now it has been replaced by Robertson.

In Robertson's prime, averaging three steals per game was as simple as drinking water.

Due to a poor personal life and irregular training, Robertson is also a 84-level player, and Robertson has fallen from his prime, but his one-on-one defense is still reliable.

It can even be said that one-on-one defense is the only defensive skill he can match with his peak now.

Stockton suffered a big loss in front of him, and if he didn't pay attention, the ball was broken.

Robertson intercepted Stockton's pass and scored a fast-break layup.

42 to 34

"General, I'm by your side!"

Reggie Williams shouted.

What he meant was, if Stockton wasn't feeling well, pass the ball to him.

But Stockton didn't feel bad just now, Robertson's stealing technique was too weird.

After that, Stockton honestly chose the top hip method to advance slowly.

It took the Knicks 7 seconds to get the ball ugly up front.

Falling into a positional battle, the Blazers' Verdun defense line was just as good, making the Knicks unable to perform their tactics and had to find players to play singles.

Reggie Williams took the ball and confronted Cauchy.

Williams and Ke Xi happen to be the bench gangsters in the two teams. Although they are not starters, they are very important players on the bench.

Williams is even more star-like, changing direction in front of the body, shaking quickly, and his explosive power is amazing to shake Cauchy's defense two positions away, and make a pull-up jumper.

36 to 42

Williams scored beautifully, but Louie was not happy.

The attack of this lineup has an upper limit. Raouf, Wilson, Ewing, and Kemp are not there. The attack can only be instigated by Stockton.

If Stockton is defended against misfires, there won't be any useful play.

Singles like this look interesting, but they don't last long.

The problems the Knicks encountered were a series of problems.

The Blazers let Jordan play off-ball shooters, which is tantamount to handing over the control of the game to the role players.

Whether players other than Jordan can take their chances will determine Riley's tactical trends and the direction of the entire game.

Jerome Curcy was not inferior to Reggie Williams, and Jordan gave him the ball after being double-teamed.

Cauchy's hands are not soft, and he easily hit a three-pointer.

Cauchy gave his teammates a proof. After him, the Blazers would shoot decisively as long as there was an open space.

Clifford Robinson, the big center, was the most responsive man, and his three-point threat from the corner surprised the Knicks.

Aware of the ferocious offensive of the enemy, Louis had to make arrangements on the spot, allowing the players to rotate quickly and not giving vacancies, which was the key.

Robinson missed the corner 3-pointer, Rodman's sweeping area was amazing, and Cauchy also struggled to get open on the perimeter because Reggie Williams' defensive attention was always on the line.

But if they are just open shooters, they will be sorry for the stage that Jordan's full-time off-ball shooters have vacated for them.

In the past, the Blazers had always been driven by core players to drive role players. This time, Cauchy decided to turn over to be the masters and take the initiative to handle the ball~www.novelmt.com~ In addition to Cauchy, Robertson can also play the ball, and Robinson also has a hand With a high position, even McDaniel, a rough man, can launch a ball-handling attack on the bottom line.

All of a sudden, the Blazers were all ball handlers, and everyone could hit the ball. This is the most basic, simple, primitive, and most damaging tactic on the basketball court.

A tight and neat line of defense can withstand up to two shocks.

No matter how good the defense is, if the opponent's three people take turns holding the ball, it will become a mess.

The teammates violently destroyed the Knicks' defense, but Jordan was the only one who was quiet on the perimeter.

I saw that the Blazers completed three sudden points in the positional battle. This third time, it was the ball passed to Jordan.

The trapeze tossed the ball and shook Stockton, who was turning around.

Take one step and make an emergency stop and jump on the left side.

The basketball crossed Jordan's fingertips and fell straight into the heart of the basket. This was Jordan's fourth three-pointer in the second quarter.

Jordan in positional warfare is quiet. He silently showcases his training results over the past year, letting the world know that his three-pointer ability is not what it used to be.

Then, on the defensive end, the energy hidden in Jordan's body will burst out.

The ball is in the hands of Reggie Williams, and the Knicks have to get past Jerome Curcy first if they want to break through the Verdun defense.

However, Jordan suddenly appeared, flashing like a phantom from the flank.

When Williams reacted, the ball was already in Jordan's hands.

The Knicks tried to foul Jordan, but it didn't work at all. Instead, they gave 2+1 for nothing.

Jordan exploded like a rocket, heading straight for the hoop, and a graceful dunk by the Statue of Liberty moved discerning New York fans.
