The Rest, Only Noise

After only a short while, Louie replaced McHale for Rodman.

The presence or absence of Rodman can be seen as an indicator of the strength of the Knicks' defense.

If the Knicks wanted to increase their defensive intensity, they would definitely have Rodman on the floor.

On the offensive end, the Lakers finally took advantage of Tragic's ball-handling threat to call a pick-and-roll to form a dislocation, and David Robinson faced Rodman inside. Although Rodman is equally suffocating on the defensive end, he has no physical advantage in the interior against a seven-foot center.

Robinson was just about to use his physical advantage to hit hard when Ewing behind him was like a gorilla clinging to a branch and wandering in the jungle, flying over and slamming his ball to the ground.

The tragic player was lucky to pick up the rebound, but was instantly attacked by the Knicks.

The physical confrontation and defensive intensity they brought reminded the tragic division of their finals with the Celtics.

The Knicks' defense is far stronger than the Celtics that year.

Because the Celtics' defensive intensity was deliberately increased to match the offensive intensity, the intensity brought by the Knicks was not deliberately.

This is their normal intensity in the Finals, and how strong they are in the game against the Celtics depends on how far the Lakers can push them.

Great as a tragic man, he was so attacked at the moment, he couldn't even pick up the ball and was cut by Wilson.

After that, the counterattack is completed within a few seconds.

"We rarely see the forum silent. For a long time, the Lakers have dominated here. But when it comes to the finals, it's different. The Lakers will have a lot of trouble, so it's rare, but it's not the same. It never happened."

"When Ralph Sampson ruled Kareem, we saw the Forum go down; we saw the forum go down when Elvin Johnson was lost in the 1984 Finals; the Lakers lost here time and time again. , Lakers fans lost their voices again and again, and for them, it was like an annual experience."

Following closely, David Robinson gave Stockton a big hat first.

Later, he returned to the basket and rewarded Ewing, who was on the second offense, a hot pot.

When there is such a never-ending sweeping machine in the interior, seeing him keep assisting, rotating, and filling positions makes his teammates feel very at ease, but makes his opponents tremble and walk on thin ice all the time. However, the problem for the Lakers is that the interior Robinson and Pippen on the perimeter are enough for most teams, but on the Knicks side, there are three or four guys who can make the same defense.

If necessary, Louie can have all five of their guys on the floor defend like Robinson.

Robinson's second shot didn't stop the Knicks' offense.

The ball is still in their hands.

The Knicks used the Jamaican pick-and-roll to mobilize Robinson's defense, hitting the ball from the outside to the inside.

Robinson, who was transferred to the outside, could not affect Rodman who was cut in, and the defensive threat of the Tragic division was 0.

Rodman dunks on Stockton's pass.

After that, the Knicks taught the Lakers a lesson with their defense.

The Lakers didn't understand until today how the Knicks could beat the Celtics.

The tragic division has a hard shot after attracting a double team.

Pippen broke through from the outside, swayed past Wilson with a fake move, and wanted to play the iceman's fingertips to pick the basket, but Rodman, like a mad beast, rushed towards Pippen with all his strength and waved him to the ground. .

"Beep!"

Referee Darrell Garretson blew the whistle and warned Rodman: "If you keep defending like this, I'll definitely kick you out!"

Rodman ignored Garrelson's words and looked at Louis.

Louie put his hand on his chest and pressed down, signaling Rodman to stay calm.

Pat Riley gradually understands where the Knicks are.

While the world knows the Knicks are strong defensively, do those who claim they are strong defensively feel the same way as the Celtics do?

No, the Celtics are the only victims.

Against other opponents, the Knicks often don't need to use their full strength to defend.

From this point of view, the Lakers are proud enough that they are the second team to enjoy the full defensive treatment of the Knicks.

The last time someone enjoyed this kind of treatment was the Trail Blazers in the final game of the 1988 Finals.

But the Knicks didn't have the defensive intensity in that game because it was necessary, but Louie wanted to impress Jordan, and he wanted to slaughter Jordan's team.

This is a well-founded but unnecessary confrontation.

Like what happened to the Lakers tonight, it belongs to the same defensive package as the Celtics.

Rodman's violent foul on Pippen made the latter lose his sense of the game.

Pippen never imagined this kind of foul in a basketball game, and he missed two free throws in horror.

The Knicks protected the defensive rebound, Wilson made a fast break, and Stockton made a long pass.

Aguirre's defensive recovery was fast enough. Stockton didn't expect this guy to be able to defend so well, so he deliberately sped up the pass to Wilson, leading the ball and letting him get inside the 3-point line. ball.

Wilson, who got the ball, attracted the Lakers' defense, but passed the ball out at the last minute.

"Shh!"

Miller followed up with a three-pointer.

25 to 15

The difference is 10 points.

Riley was forced to call a timeout.

"Now that we're 10 points ahead, let's show the fans in Los Angeles what a real defense is?"

Louis asked as usual.

"Benj, Dennis, are you tired?"

What Louie said was to use a murder press. Wilson and Rodman had both been on the court for a while, so he asked them if they were tired.

Rodman said confidently: "Where is this going?"

"Okay! Since you are not tired, there are less than 5 minutes left in the first quarter. I hope you can lead the murder pressing team to pull the difference to more than 15 points."

Coincidentally, the Lakers replaced the tragic division at this time to rest and replaced Kevin Johnson with Pippen.

A lightning defender like KJ is a deadly threat to the press.

But the Knicks already have a whole set of fast-paced plans against small guards, KJ will be a problem, and Louie would like to see him become a problem because the jealousy in his heart is already burning. In the absence of the tragic player, if he can still play brilliantly, it will definitely add chips to his future fight for power within the Lakers.

However, Louie won't miss an opportunity to lay a victory just to provoke his opponent.

So he won't take special care of KJ, and the five players involved in the murder press still have to treat the Lakers with the highest level of intensity.

Wilson, Rodman, Stevens, Seley, Reggie Williams appeared.

Against KJ, Louie's matchup was Williams defending him.

Williams is the fastest player in the Murder Press group in lateral movement and footwork, faster than Wilson, although not as good as KJ, but by the standard of the striker, he is quick enough to be the best person to defend KJ.

In addition, if KJ is forced to the bottom corner, they will flank; if KJ stops the ball, three people will flank; if KJ is likely to be one-stop, the adjacent players must foul decisively and other packages are all arranged.

KJ is worthy of being KJ. His change of direction creates space for a breakthrough, and then quickens his pace, rushes to the frontcourt, and points the ball to Robinson.

The latter dunked an empty basket.

The forum cheers were mixed with boos, because KJ's speech in New York caused a wave of very bad public opinion to the Lakers, but now he is the most important player for the Lakers.

Louie doesn't instruct the players on defense, they adjust themselves according to the situation.

For someone who murders a pressing group, being so easily broken by KJ to score a teammate is slapping them in the face.

It's an offense, it's an insult, it's a blow to the ego of everyone in the murder press.

The Knicks' positional battle was scored 2 points by Wilson's pull-up jumper.

When it came to the Knicks' defensive round again, Williams was still passed by, but KJ couldn't accelerate the accelerator in a straight line like before.

Because this time, it was more like Williams deliberately guided him to a certain position, and then double-teamed by Wilson to form a front and back attack.

The height disadvantage caused KJ to be unable to find a teammate at the far end after being forced to stop by a tough defense, and he had to wait for someone to respond.

No one came over for a long time, and he could only jump up and pass the ball reluctantly.

Alex Stevens found his chance and made a save to intercept the ball.

The suffocation of the murderous press gradually showed, no matter how fast the ball carrier was, he couldn't make it through the half court alone.

Riley couldn't help roaring at Pippen and others: "Go to the front court and help KJ!"

After the Knicks stole the ball, Wilson assisted Williams to score in the frontcourt.

The difference is 12 points.

The Lakers' frontcourt staff increased~www.novelmt.com~ Correspondingly, the Knicks' staff also increased.

And, because Pippen came to the frontcourt, Rodman also followed suit.

Letting DPOY participate in the frontcourt pressing is an extremely unfavorable situation for the Lakers.

The game became frantic, and KJ was furious with the Knicks' defense, and soon clashed with Williams, who was guarding him.

After the conflict, he was angrily dribbling along the sideline by three people.

As a result, he successfully passed the ball out, and the Lakers played more and scored less.

This kind of goal is acceptable to the Knicks. KJ creates chances under difficult defense. His performance is still very good. Although it can't save the shaky situation, it is enough to prove its strength.

Even "Voice of the Lakers" Chick Hearn said: "Maybe the Lakers should rethink the positioning of KJ."
