The Rest, Only Noise

A lineup that should have established an advantage, facing the Knicks' lineup with little resistance, not only failed to establish a considerable advantage, but lost the original lead by 4 points.

Here's the question that bothers Pat Riley.

Riley never imagined that the situation in the second quarter was always what Louis had expected.

He asked Billy Donovan to tally the game's long-range percentages -- the Knicks and Lakers' long-range percentages, not just from 3-pointers, but from all 21-footers.

So far, the Knicks are shooting 41.9 percent and the Lakers are 16 percent. Senior fans know that whether it is pure three-point shooting or the long-range shooting rate that Louis makes statistics, it is originally a data that is extremely volatile and has a certain element of luck. There are many games where the strong team loses the weak team. is the result of the randomness of this data.

This is also the reason why the Knicks' second lineup, which has almost no absolute strengths, not only did not fall behind, but also surpassed the score in the face of the Lakers' highly targeted main lineup.

They correctly used pockets to defend the rim, rebounded with all players, double-teamed any Laker who dared to rush to the restricted area and was not called a tragic player, and let any Laker who was not called a tragic player take a long shot.

Since the Knicks' pocket formation is formed by five players, the Lakers who rush in will not be able to make any splash if they don't pass the ball out;

The full rebounds not only relieved Bowie's pressure, but also reduced the threat of the Lakers' twin towers to rebounds;

In addition to the tragic division, the other players of the Lakers have been double-teamed. Because except the tragic master, the projection threat of others is not strong enough.

Because defense is accompanied by a lot of double-teaming, there are bound to be many Lakers players who get big openings.

Pippen, KJ, and Divac took turns trying.

Only Divac made the long shot, and the other two all missed. . With the Lakers' feel so coordinated, if KJ and the tragic can work together, the Knicks will still struggle to cope with them.

And that's the point.

If there is no chemistry between Akibu Yoshizawa and Yuma Asami, then the classic Investigator they co-starred is a **** that can be deleted after fast-forwarding. It was because of the sparks between them that made that work a classic.

That's the problem the Lakers face.

Tragic didn't take into account KJ's feelings, he didn't think it was necessary. KJ felt that he was undervalued, and that the tragic figure was a little too well-deserved for the honor he received.

One is not angry, and the other is not aware of it, there is a scene of a palace fight on the spot.

If it's just a round or two, Riley can't see it yet. However, after so many rounds, there was no cooperation between KJ and the tragic division. At the back, the tragic master spread his hands again and again, expressing puzzlement at KJ's ignoring his own practice.

This is the core of the Knicks to ensure their defense is not overwhelmed.

As for the attack, it is much simpler and cruder.

Louie gave Hornacek, Angie, and Miller enough authority.

He allows all three to shoot as they feel comfortable.

Hornacek developed a skill in the Knicks that he didn't have in Louie's perception, and he picked up the ball and threw 3-pointers in the pick-and-roll.

Although not as exaggerated as Curry, there is also a certain level of accuracy.

Ainge is the most accurate open receiver three-pointer on the Knicks team.

Miller is the tactical core of the second team, and everyone is around him.

These three people threw 12 three-pointers in the first half and hit 5 goals.

This hit rate is neither good nor bad. Fortunately, on the Lakers side, KJ was undercover all the time. Because the tragic master had no chance to touch the ball, he was invisible for half a quarter. Plate tip.

In this case, the score between the two sides remained at 41 to 34.

The Lakers trailed by seven points.

For them, the situation is not good.

Riley urgently replaced KJ, put Tragic at No. 1, and replaced Derek McKay.

Louis also dispatched troops, and there were five waves.

Stockton, Reggie Williams, Wilson, Rodman, Ewing played.

In the first round of switching back to the main force, the Knicks guarded the Lakers to no avail.

The tactics were blocked, no one responded, and the ball was in the hands of the tragic division.

Pat Riley has never seen such a suffocating defense in his years.

Outside, Ewing's single defense tragic division.

With just a few seconds left, the Tragic division had no chance to break through, so he could only force a three-pointer against Ewing's defense.

It was a difficult three-pointer with one step away from the three-point line.

Originally, the strong throw was not suitable for the tragic master's posture and movements, not to mention it was not the usual standard distance.

But great players always know how to create something out of nothing.

The tragic master made a shot in a seemingly desperate shot, but he hit the board.

37 to 41

When Ewing ran to the frontcourt, he noticed the contempt in Louie's eyes.

"Don't look at me like that!"

"Are you guilty?"

"What do I have to be guilty of!" Ewing was not guilty, but he was not strong, "Who will defend that kind of ball is different!"

"Don't make excuses for your failure, it's definitely different to have Dennis defend!"

Again, the Ewing mentality is an integral part of Louie's life.

It's not right, how can this be done? At most, it's about how to deal with Ewing's simulation of being spammed by fans.

Obviously, he didn't deal with it very well, and the excuse for his poor defense was actually the "mistakes that all men in the world make" like Fang Shilong's crooked theory.

Unlike the Knicks' defense, their offense has always been dynamic.

Louie doesn't like deadly attacks.

After Stockton scored, the Lakers chose to bypass the screen.

This is the primary way most teams defend Stockton because of his ability to jump up and score without getting space.

Stockton's response to this defense was to increase his penetration.

How great the tragic division is on offense, and how downhill on defense. The consequence of his breakthrough by Stockton was not only that one line collapsed, but also brought a lot of defensive pressure to Robinson inside.

The admiral had to help.

Stockton then threw the ball into the sky.

Ewing, who was abandoned on the side by the general, jumped up and scored an alley-oop dunk.

In this situation, what can the Lakers do?

No, unless someone can defend Stockton in place of Tragic division, otherwise, there is no solution.

But Riley didn't dare to let the tragic man guard against Wilson or Williams. It was too dangerous. If these two meet the tragic master, they can play with or without the ball.

It was also in the tragic figure that Riley saw a reality clearly.

No matter how great the tragic master on the offensive end is, if he is a personal weakness on the defensive end, it will bring negative effects far beyond expectations to the team.

When the opponent is a team of the Knicks' level, the holes on the table become more dazzling than usual when they are deliberately aimed.

43 to 37

Billy Cunningham directly criticized the tragic: "Elvin Johnson has not figured out one thing. That is his defense is significantly affecting the Lakers' fault tolerance rate in front of the Knicks. If your core players are in the eyes of the opponent. There's a loophole for special care, and that's it."

When it was the Lakers’ turn to attack, Louie yelled and asked the players to rotate.

For the tragic division, it is still not double-teamed.

Tragic noticed this, and even if the Knicks players didn't want to double-team him, they would react subconsciously when they saw him swing past Stockton and break in.

Tragic division's ball, passed to the weak side of McKay.

McKay was defended by Rodman, and the ball went to the outside.

Pippen was prevented from taking a step forward by Wilson and had to pass back to McKay.

McKay also didn't dare to challenge Rodman's defense. He was a pragmatic player who returned the ball to the tragic player with only 5 seconds left in the attack time.

Terrible defense, suffocating defense.

The tragic master chose a difficult breakthrough, turned around, crushed Stockton's body, and forced a layup to be knocked to the ground by Rodman, who came over to help him.

It was a foul, of course, and the Knicks had no objection.

It's certainly not cost-effective to let the Tragic figure foul at the last second, but Rodman prefers it to him.

The tragic lay on the ground in pain.

How is this different from the failures that faced the Celtics back then?

"I feel pity for him." Tomjanovich shook his head.

Since 1982, this proud man, who is obviously favored by God, has no longer had a relationship with the champion.

For most people, every day, the sun rises as usual. But the tragic has not felt this way for a long time. When he opened his eyes, he saw a gray world, and it was hard to believe that the morning light came for him.

Because his world has long been occupied by the dark tones associated with tragedy.

He stood up and took a deep breath.

No matter how pessimistic he was, he couldn't show a hint of cowardice at such a time.

Once he falls on his knees in front of the demon, he loses completely.

Louis saw the tragic determination.

He walked to the free throw line, his body intertwined with painful realities and unrealistic illusions, and the Knicks' extreme pressure still lingers.

However, when he received the ball from the referee, Louis saw that his face was still full of hope, as if the warm sun could illuminate a bright road and illuminate the direction for the Purple and Gold Army.

"咻咻~~~!!"

Louis whistled to the players from a distance.

The five people on the field looked at him.

Louis didn't say anything, just stretched out the four fingers of his right hand.

That means that the Knicks' defensive intensity needs to be improved by another level on the basis of the previous one.

Destroying the tragic was not Louie's goal, destroying the Lakers was what he wanted to do. If the tragic master becomes a hindrance to this matter ~www.novelmt.com~ will be defeated together with him.

Louis respects the tragic master. In this already completely different era, the tragic master's style of play is too different from the person in Louis' impression.

He has grown from a perfect core as of 1991 to an impeccable ball-handling core even 30 years later in 2021.

He was the best offensive core of all time, but when he faced the Celtics and Knicks, he was never going to win.

It's not that he's not strong enough, it's that his team isn't strong enough.

Each time, he did his best to stay optimistic and look forward to the next time.

How can such a spirit not be admired? But it is precisely because he is positive and optimistic that Louis can't help but feel sorry for him when he thinks of the catastrophe he was destined to do.

From the failure from 1983 to the present, to the impending catastrophe, what can better explain the name of the tragic master? So, here's his coronation, the Celtics did what they were supposed to do, and now it's the Knicks' turn, not one less.
