The Rest, Only Noise

The negative impact of Dale Ellis's missed fast-break three-pointer was eliminated by himself.

Linking with Hornacek, Corbin, and McHale, he not only ran the most familiar Exhange Riky (high dynamic attack), but also ran an improved version that Louis specially made for Wilson. It's like he's showing Wilson off the court how a perimeter shooter in a real system should affect the game.

The Bucks can still find the Knicks' defensive problems.

After all, aside from McHale and Corbyn, this lineup is not a defensive elite.

Terry Cummings hit McHale, chose a high jumper, also hit.

61 to 64

It was the Knicks' turn to attack again, and Louie asked Wilson to take a serious look at Ellis's movement: "Benj, what did you find from Dell's movement?"

Wilson saw that Ellis, who has always been taciturn, would call his teammates loudly when he moved.

He had already felt this.

But being with him on the court is a different experience than watching it off the court.

Ellis is obviously more engaged than before. He is familiar with his teammates' pick-and-roll style and coordination, which shows that he has always known the tactics of these people.

The reason Ellis works so well in the system is because he knows what to do in the paint.

He can grasp the movement of the inside line, so he can appear in a key position every time.

In this round, he pretended to run from the right corner to the left corner, suddenly stopped, and made a reverse run.

Paul Price, who was chasing his defense, was blocked by Gilmour's pick-and-roll. Ellis received the ball from the right bottom corner and made another three-pointer.

67 to 61

"Like John, he has memorized all our tactics." Louis said in a word, "so every time he attacks, he knows how to move to get out of the opportunity, and he can also use his position to initiate the attack. The right dynamic offense."

Wilson listened carefully to Louie's words.

Does he want to do this too?

At this time, Hick misses Gilmour on horseback.

But the Bucks have offensive rebounds.

Cummings grabbed the offensive rebound and showed his footsteps with McHale inside, but his footsteps could not shake the wingspan of 244CM and were covered.

Fortunately the ball was back in his hands, but the Bucks had seconds left on the offensive.

Cummings reluctantly shot, did not enter.

McHale deserves the honor of a double first.

In fact, Louie feels that McHale is the end of the second defense, and Ewing is more suitable for the first defense than him.

As a result, Ewing was on the second defense and McHale was on the first defense.

Countless people complained about Ewing, although Ewing's notorious "Yankee" sentence made him fall into the second defense seems a bit obvious and retribution, but it can make McHale go into the first defense, it looks like Ewing fell to the second defense's consolation prize.

The league's No. 1 defensive team has to be defended, right?

This award gives people the feeling that it is not objective at all, not fair, and not seeking truth from facts.

Of course, as long as McHale has a good defensive performance, the commentators will mention him being selected for the first defense.

Barry has already started: "Kevin McHale is the best player on this team, and the Knicks' defense this season can be the first in the league, and he has contributed to it"

Russell's philosophy is outdated, but it is still clear who is the core of the defense and who is the core of the offense.

He didn't respond to Barry's words.

The Bucks conceded a goal, Hornacek dribbled the ball over half court, and the Bucks were in a dangerous situation. Facing the Knicks' second lineup, they did not play an advantage, and they also showed a trend of attacking on the offensive end.

Suddenly, they were guarding Hornacek as they were guarding Stockton.

For the pick-and-roll, they opted to bypass the defense.

In Hornacek's mind, Louis's instructions sounded. He pinpointed the vacant defensive position of the Bucks around the defense and collected the ball for a jumper.

It was actually a three-pointer.

The defensive neutral space vacated by grabbing the pick-and-roll was a routine operation of the three-point monsters in the small-ball era, and Hornacek shot with confidence.

"Shh!"

70 to 61

Nelson couldn't sit back and watch the team get blown up by the Knicks' second unit, and angrily requested a timeout.

He cursed the players off the court for not being angry and playing like a softball.

On the Knicks side, Louie was much gentler, and he asked Gilmour: "Is your physical strength okay?"

Gilmour nodded: "Okay."

"Then hold on for a few more minutes." Louie said to Hornacek with a smile, "Honey, from now on you play the second position, Dale plays the third position, Tyrone comes down to rest, and John." Louie looked at St. Stockton, "You come up and play number one."

Since the defense of this lineup is destined to be bad, don't defend.

Louie is a person who can afford to let go, is not rigid, and always knows what he wants.

If the team's offense is better, go on offense.

If the offense is bad, play defense.

Hornacek's three-pointer showed that he had a good hand tonight, so he would play the second position and give the Knicks two space points on the outside. Stockton didn't use him to call the pick-and-roll. It's enough to hold the ball directly on the perimeter and let others run the play.

From the time the Knicks switched lineups, the Bucks and they were caught in the rhythm of a back-and-forth.

Moncrief has obvious advantages over Stockton, Hornacek and Ellis.

So, as long as he holds the ball in his sweet spot, there is no difference.

Stockton this round, Ellis that round, both are delicious and juicy, you must try them.

It's just that Nelson gave a death order, and the defense must be fierce and fierce.

The Bucks did it, and the defense was very strong.

Hornacek is Stockton's backup most of the time. When the Knicks rarely play the second position, now he is temporarily playing the second position. All he can do is find a suitable position to make a penalty stand, etc. Teammates feed the ball and then throw open three-pointers.

The real protagonist on the offensive end is Ellis, everyone knows that.

Ellis is obsessed with Moncrief.

Suddenly unable to run, Stockton couldn't take over, Hornacek stood still, and the Knicks' offense seemed to be guarded to death.

However, there is an option on the field.

McHale received the ball high and hit the basket to cause a foul by the Bucks.

Hugh Hollins was angrily scolded by Nelson, "This confrontation is also called a foul? Then what game is there to play?"

Hollins glared back at Nelson with a threatening look in his eyes.

Harris stopped Nelson, who wanted to get angry and PK with the referee. McHale stood on the free throw line and made two free throws, resolving the difficulties faced by the Knicks on the offensive end.

"There's not much time left for the Bucks."

"It's weird that their all-main lineup is on par with the Knicks' second unit?"

"If the opponent dares to use the second team against your main force in regular time, there are only two possibilities. One is that they are in better form as a substitute today, and the other is that they don't pay attention to your main force at all. "

Barry is a solid diode, throwing out both views with no middle ground.

Russell, a player and coach who has won two championships, raised another possibility: "Perhaps, Little is brewing something."

In the past five minutes of the third quarter, it was 74-66.

The Knicks led by 8 points. Moncrief was indeed the best perimeter defender in the first half of the 1980s. He was no longer at the peak and locked Ellis's off-ball movement.

Starting from his matchup with Ellis, Ellis lost all 3 shots.

The Knicks handed over the bottom line of the offense to their insider.

McHale took over a lot of the offense in the low post, plus Gilmour grabbed a few offensive rebounds.

In the first six minutes of the third quarter, the Knicks persevered and led the Bucks by five points, 76-71.

Seeing that the resistance of this lineup has reached its limit, and when it can only be handed over to McHale to take over, Louie asked for a timeout again.

This suspension caused Russell's doubts.

And Nelson's vigilance.

Especially when Rodman, Stevens, and Salley got up from the court at the same time.

This hint is obvious enough!

Murder press?

That's right, it's not even a hint, it's an explicit one.

Unlike the murder press in the first half, this murder press included Wilson and Ewing in addition to Law, St.

That's why Louie benched them to start the second half.

Let them rest for a while, and then come on the court to give the Bucks a fatal blow.

Nelson has predicted that the Knicks will press with murder, but all he can do is change to a lineup with a guard and four wings.

"If the Knicks decide to push the game to the end in the third quarter, then it makes sense to start the second half without Patrick Ewing and Benjamin Wilson."

"Little Lu is accumulating energy for this plan. UU reading www.uukanshu.com"

Barry said in surprise: "He really believes in his players. The average coach would never make such a dangerous decision."

"Maybe this decision is not dangerous for him at all." Russell laughed.

The Murder Press with a core is here.

The Bucks responded the same way they did in the first half, but their murderous crunch this time was far more intense than the last.

The balance of victory and defeat, almost in the first second after the timeout ended, tilted in favor of the Knicks.

There are things the Bucks do well and a lot of things they don't do well.

The worst thing they can do is to be unprepared for the Knicks' murder press.

The thing is, the murder press is no secret to the league.

Now that I have seen how terrible it is, it is a little too late to arrange for manpower to target it.
