The Rest, Only Noise

Chapter 473: Stevens is everywhere

???

The defensive strength of the Pistons is surprising, especially after Dantley goes down, there are not too many weaknesses in the defensive matchup alone.

Dumars, Jordan's worst defender. That's probably far more valuable than Kobe's own testimony that Tracy McGrady is his greatest rival.

Because Dumars and Jordan fought multiple times in the playoffs, McGrady's conversation with Kobe was only in the regular season.

Craig Illo, the background of the eternal gods, he is like a white version of Danny Green, one of the best 3ds of our time.

Then, Worthy, Parish, Malone, and Rick Mahone sitting off the court, these people have a common feature, that is, their single defense and help defense are not too big problems.

If necessary, they can switch defenses.

With their size and physicality, they can switch infinitely in any era.

They are extremely disciplined from rim protection to rotation, and are one of the few teams that can protect both the rim and the 3-point line.

After a few minutes, Miller's trash talk set them on fire, and the wood was on fire.

Some penalties brought by home field advantage, as well as Malone's abuse of the board, Worthy's dislocation and strong eating allowed the Pistons to stabilize the situation and start an 11-5 start.

A Stockton pass was disrupted, and after a turnover, Louie made a quick decision and requested a timeout.

"Rudy, do you have any ideas?" Louis asked with a smile.

Tomjanovich thought for a moment and said: "The Pistons are different from the opponents we have met before. Other opponents will always avoid switching because it will lead to dislocation, but the Pistons don't care about dislocation... Maybe, we can use this to deal with them."

"That's right." Louis smiled, "I mean exactly that."

Louis said to the players: "Actually, you all performed well, but based on the changes in the situation on the field, I decided to make some personnel adjustments."

"John, Kevin, you two come down."

Louie then looked at Rodman and Brad Rohos.

"Dennis, 'Larry Bird,' you two come on."

Louie calls him Larry Bird because of Rojos's passion for taking long shots. This is of course a joke, and Rohos’s style of play is also not tolerated by the mainstream media. When Louis chose him, in addition to preparing a Bonner-style mascot for the team, he also had a little thought.

If they encounter a team like the Pistons in the playoffs or the finals in the future, they can switch defenses infinitely without losing money, and they can also use their size to blow them up, limiting the operation of the n.uc system. Teams, it is bound to use 4out or 5out Lineup to name the defense weak points of the military training opponent.

The most critical point of this tactic is Wilson.

"From now on, you take the ball, let Reggie run the weak-side dynamic offense, you just play the pick-and-roll with Brad, and if they switch, you use size and speed to break the defense. If they pinch, put the ball Pass it on to our Larry Bird," Louie said at last, jokingly.

Wilson nodded. "Yes, coach."

Rohos was nervous. He didn't expect that a deviant space-type insider would actually get a chance in the first game of his career.

Moreover, his opponent is Moses Malone and Robert Parish and other famous stars inside.

The Knicks are changing, and so are the Pistons.

They swapped out Parish for Rick Mahon, making the inside duo a true butcher.

Looking at the Pistons who were determined to carry out the rough man lineup to the end, Louie was a little worried about Wilson's ability to call.

First, the Pistons attacked and were blocked by Ewing.

His defensive prowess feels better than it was last year.

Basically, all the Pistons' offenses close to the restricted area will be affected, and all the offenses that come into the paint area have a high probability of being blocked or disturbed.

One of the biggest hidden dangers of this Pistons lineup is here, and it is also the reason why they are not destined to challenge the Celtics.

Their team-building ideas were influenced by the times, and they took a different path from the very beginning.

Sampson is no match for one person, which is the consensus of the industry.

The Pistons' approach is a "wheel war", so they pile up the frontcourt, trying to eliminate Sampson's influence with numbers.

As a result, in the semifinals, Sampson blew the inside line alone.

What's wrong with this road? The mistake is just thinking about hitting hard. If their inside can shoot from the outside, they can subtly solve Sampson's inside threat. At least, on the defensive end is able to take him out of the box.

However, the Pistons lineup, at first glance, is actually full of dead hob meat.

Wilson held the ball at the top of the arc, Ewing screened on the weak side, Miller was ready to run, Rohos's pick-and-roll quality was not high, and Louis asked him that he was successful if he hung up a little.

Wilson broke through from the left, Worthy's defense was dragged by Rohos, but Malone chose to shrink the defense and let Wilson shoot.

This is tantamount to giving him a chance to score.

Wilson shot decisively.

7 to 11

This is what Louis can see at a glance. The problem with the Pistons lineup. Although the Pistons’ overall defense is the best in the league, they are still highly dependent on the center’s defensive system, and the ability to make mistakes is the bottom of the league. This means that if the opponent can think The way to make their interior uncomfortable, the Pistons' defensive power will be reduced a lot.

Therefore, from the future, the 5-out lineup that was specially created for extreme space and squatting players in the era of defensive three seconds is undoubtedly the most effective way to deal with the Pistons.

That's why they're doomed to beat the Celtics.

The Knicks have only Rohos who can cooperate with Wilson's call.

As for the Celtics, Bird, Sampson, Laimbeer ... a desperate gap in the players named by Thomas.

After a few rounds, Wilson scored 6 points in a row, allowing the Knicks to complete the lead.

12 to 11

The Pistons couldn't defend themselves, and the offense was a mess.

Daly couldn't stand it any longer, and also requested a suspension, seeking to change.

It can be seen that Daly is really good. Even if Louis has a card he doesn't like in his hand, after the timeout, the Pistons still showed a guaranteed performance at both ends of the offense and defense.

Offensively, they replaced Dantley and let him hold the ball in the low post.

Dantley has a historical level of offensive efficiency and a very strong attacking means. Although the defensive end is a pit, he is protected by the Pistons' overall high-quality defense.

Malone and Worthy have far more mobility than other players of their size, as well as top/good defensive smell, which combined with isolation quality and rotation discipline helps them keep their defense.

That is to say, because the Knicks have the restraint ability on the lineup, the Pistons have no way to absolutely kill the Knicks, but the quality of the Pistons team makes it impossible for the Knicks to use the lineup restraint to kill the Pistons with a hammer.

This means two things.

After the Knicks and Pistons' tactical execution and the main force are finished, it is time to compete for the strength of the bench.

The Knicks will have an advantage in any game where depth is required.

Wilson's performance at the point guard position was surprising, and he did a good job.

Last season when he had the ball, he always felt unsteady.

This feeling is not because of a technical flaw, but because it is unstoppable.

The defender gave him a few confrontations at random, and he was like a grass in the wind that was about to be brought down at any time.

Since the strength in the body cannot support such a high-intensity confrontation, his technical advantages are impossible to talk about.

After gaining 10 pounds in the offseason, he still has many problems, but it's not as worrying as it was during his rookie days.

It is not difficult at all to play a cameo point guard and drive the other four teammates to use the n.uc system to initiate a 5out strategy.

Wilson hit a lot of one-on-one mismatched one-on-one shots and three-pointers from screens.

Miller unexpectedly stepped up and contributed a small fight, and it was a wonderful round.

He took Ewing's screen on the perimeter to get an offensive opportunity, feinted to fly Malone, and then dribbled in.

Also known for his catch-and-shoot marksmanship, Miller's ability to handle the ball is better than Klay Thompson's.

Even Brad Rohos, who has not been favored by others, shot a three-pointer on Worthy.

For rookies, shooting confidence is critical.

A quarter down, 32 to 22.

The Pistons trail the Knicks by 10 points.

As long as the Knicks stick to the 5out, the Pistons will have no countermeasures.

Because 5out itself is not a clever strategy, but a luxurious tactic that eats the team configuration very much.

You have to have five players who can do things in the high post or the perimeter~www.novelmt.com~ to play 5out.

If it's one Wilson with four Ben Wallaces, then you're playing at a high position, and people don't necessarily give you a second look.

Therefore, what the Pistons need to do is to stabilize the situation and use Dumars' individual ability and Dantley's offensive ability in the post to break the deadlock.

On the Knicks side, Wilson, Ewing and others were replaced in the second quarter, and another lineup was replaced.

Stockton, Hornacek, Stevens, Oakley, McHale.

Louie foresaw what the Pistons might do.

He knew Daley would keep Dumars on fire and Dantley to play more of the post.

So in the matchup, he used Stevens to guard Dantley, Stockton only guarded Dumars's shot, and let him make a pull-up jumper.

This series of arrangements was very obvious in the next few rounds.

Stevens is underrated by many, including Louie.

He does look too much like k.c. Jones.

In previous years, he was just a mad dog who inspired Louie to create a murder press.

In the 1986 draft, the Knicks introduced Wilson, Rodman and Salley as three flanks, and Stevens' chances were greatly reduced.

He still does his best every game. But much worse than the other three.

In the offseason this year, he trained with Wilson, and his defense improved to a higher level, especially in the three areas of help defense, switching defense and backup defense.

In the first game of this year, he came up against Dantley. He didn't mention his performance in single defense, and he helped Dumars to prevent him from dizziness.

Joe Dumars just feels like Stevens is everywhere on the court.
