The Rest, Only Noise

The latest website: The second quarter of the Knicks and the Blazers started in a fierce confrontation.

The referee nervously controlled the process of the game, and both sides of the competition did not want to use the sensitive penalty scale to profit.

Clifford Robinson's role may not even be expected by Pat Riley.

As a tall striker, this person has obvious advantages in defense.

He can run, jump, and have long arms. He can help defend any Knicks player, and with Riley's switching system, he can play a role.

Xavier McDaniel's overall offensive and defensive pressure is stronger, and Robinson is more suitable for stitching the Blazers' defense like a sewing machine in the stalemate stage.

During that time period, Wilson was also replaced. .

The Knicks don't have Wilson, but Ewing.

Miller looks like it will take a few more games to get used to the Blazers' defense.

As Dale Ellis' successor, Louie has higher expectations for Miller, but he has never faced the same level of defense as Ellis since he was a firm starter.

Miller's resume in Louie's previous life convinced Louie that his ceiling was higher than Ellis. But now, Louie is not sure whether Miller under this timeline will be able to surpass Ellis in the end.

If Miller made his debut in the Pacers, his growth trajectory would not change. The so-called children from poor families will be in charge early, because the team has no other players to look forward to in the future, so Miller, a sharpshooter with mediocre ball-handling ability, was pushed. Unimaginable potential broke out after going to the core position.

With the Knicks, Miller doesn't need to push himself that far.

It's like tonight, Miller didn't play well. Louie's approach was not to keep him on the court to find a state, but to make a substitution. And after the replacement, the effect is good.

If it is replaced by a weak team with a shortage of personnel, Miller will have to find a way to solve the problem on his own.

Therefore, such small details that are easy to be overlooked will also affect the growth of a player.

In the second quarter, Miller's performance is still not ideal, and he has made 1 of 7 shots since the opening.

Louie is no longer eager to replace it, and Miller's poor performance is caused by the Blazers' defensive strategy. At this time, the Blazers had Jordan match Miller, and Robinson, a spider-man with flying legs, was ready to help defend at any time. With the newly replaced Anthony Mason, his defense was also not to be underestimated.

If Louie is Riley's teacher, Riley is definitely a good student who is keen to take classroom notes.

Riley learned from Louie that "a tough team wins", "defense comes first", "the three-point line can be placed", "the sharpshooter must die", "assistance is worse than switching, switching is worse than rotation, rotation In the end, it is still necessary to double-team", "no layup rule", "selective emptying", "key people should be respected".

Miller is the key person in the eyes of the Blazers.

He's one of the few players in the league who can win games on threes.

While the Knicks have plenty of shooters, Miller is the only one Riley doesn't dare to gamble on.

So they treated Miller's defense to the highest spec.

That's why Miller didn't play well after the start.

As a sharpshooter, being treated by the league's second-best defense, it's normal to underperform.

After Miller's misfire, the Georgetown Twins stood up.

Reggie Williams came off the bench for Wilson, supporting with the ball on the side, sending multiple second passes to Kemp and Ewing.

He also punished the Portlanders with a solid 3-pointer when the Blazers tried to limit Ewing's flanking and left Williams open on the perimeter.

Seeing that the two had an extraordinary tacit understanding, Louis focused their offense around them in the second quarter.

The Knicks mainly play a two-three offensive formation, with Ewing and Williams mainly standing on the weak side and one-on-one with the Blazers.

In the other three positions, Kampra went to the high post, Stockton's arc top, and Miller's strong side bottom corner.

Miller didn't dare to let it go, Stockton could make a three-pointer from the top of the arc, and Kemp was the only player who could let it go, but Ewing didn't need many steps to play the Blazers inside.

He has a clear advantage in his size, smashing the ball to the ground and pushing it forward hard.

Robinson, who was in charge of defending him, fell like a felled tree in front of Ewing.

Ewing lashed out.

"Drink!!"

Ewing's roar is full of male hormones.

He finally knew how cool Sampson felt when he was playing against them.

It's hard for Ewing to feel that way against Sampson or other superstar centers. However, the Blazers' interior is their biggest shortcoming.

As long as Ewing has the ball, whoever comes will die.

It was only Robinson just now, and it was only when Mason defended Ewing that Portland realized what cruelty was.

After years of training by Louis, Ewing's body shape is almost perfect, and he has enough strength in his upper and lower limbs. When encountering a general insider, the gorilla can crush it by relying on its strength.

When confronted with a sturdy forward like Mason, Ewing would not foolishly choose to confront him. He knew that his biggest advantage was his height.

Therefore, before receiving the ball, Ewing first used his physical advantage to squeeze under the basket step by step.

Mason didn't take card slot battles seriously.

He thought that the real point of victory in this war was how Ewing attacked after catching the ball, so when he was in the card position, in order to save his strength, he would not resist desperately. Because no matter how he resists Ewing, he will end up receiving a pass from his teammate. He's too tall and has enough wingspan that it doesn't make sense to stop him from taking a position.

However, he forgot one thing.

If Ewing's catch was at the rim, or very close to the rim, there would be no suspense in the outcome. Valley

When the ball was in Ewing's hands, he grabbed the ball directly, turned around, and rode Mason's body to score a dunk.

Ewing's buckle has O'Neal's power.

He completely blasted the Blazers inside.

The Blazers are useless unless they double-team Ewing.

If they double-team, Ewing's ball will pass out.

Stockton's three-pointer from the top of the arc, Kemp's high jumper, and even Miller in the bottom corner were all lucky by the leader, washed away the bad luck from the opponent, and scored the second goal of the night.

However, in a few minutes, Ewing dominated the basket and fed back the team, and the Knicks played a 14-5 offensive.

45 to 32

The Blazers trailed by 13 points in the blink of an eye.

Riley requested a suspension.

"These guys aren't that strong." Doug Mo shouted loudly. "A little harder, I think Portland can't hold it anymore. That kind of defensive intensity can't last the whole court."

Louis is not optimistic.

Other teams may not have enough physical strength, but the Blazers, their training intensity is well known in the league, and even Barkley has successfully lost weight, how dare they underestimate their physical strength?

In any case, this team must be treated with the most dangerous standards.

Louie replaces Stockton.

The Knicks don't need to play a sophisticated offense right now.

"Since Patrick has such a big advantage in the interior, what we have to do is to amplify this advantage!" Louie let Vernon Maxwell come on as Stockton's substitute, "Patrick, just now you and Ruth (Reggie) Williams) on the weak side of the 2-3 formation, from the next round, you two are on the strong side with hawk (Maxwell). All positional attacks have to be launched through Patrick, if they dare to pack Clip, pass the ball to the shooter, and I'll see what they can do when our 3-pointers come in like rain."

This is a real problem.

The Blazers' flank reserves are unparalleled in the world, and even the Knicks can't match them.

However, the game of basketball is not won by the flanks.

They've been invincible in the West, but in the East, the Knicks are a detached opponent.

The Blazers have strong flanks and Porter at the back, but Nance is the only one on the inside.

Nance was also a power forward, but was forced into that position because there was no center on the team.

Therefore, when the Blazers meet a team with a super inside line, they have to find a cannon fodder to stand in front, and then launch flank harassment and double-teaming.

Playing the Rockets, this trick worked. Olajuwon made 17 turnovers in two games.

Against the Lakers, this trick also works, because David Robinson is not tough enough, and the Lakers are inaccurate on the outside.

Playing the Celtics, failed, Sampson has averaged 34 points per game so far this season, and currently has 6 single-game 50+ points, one of which was won by the Blazers. But the Blazers won that game because Bird was sidelined.

Playing the Knicks, it stands to reason that double-team tactics are effective for Ewing.

But Ewing started higher than most centers.

After playing for Louis for six or seven years, he has already wiped out the bad habits developed in Georgetown, and he has also learned a lot of skills that he did not have.

There are also habits that he and the entire team have used immensely.

Such as the current fast processing ball.

When Ewing gets the ball, he will make a judgment within a second, whether to attack or pass.

Even if the Blazers double-team fast, his height still allows him to pass the ball high and pass safely to his teammates.

The Blazers' wings didn't have enough time to complete defensive rotations due to the speed and quality of Ewing's passing.

The catcher was Vernon Maxwell.

When he just came on the court, his excitement was beyond words, and he directly pulled up and voted for one.

As soon as the ball went out, he roared like crazy: "gnm this ball must be there!!"

"Shh!"

Louis rubbed his forehead.

"I hope that guy doesn't have so much swearing when he shoots~www.novelmt.com~ Louie just finished talking, Maxwell ran up to Louie like a madman and gave Louie a high five.

"Coach, you can trust me! Always! I'm so **** strong!"

Louie really didn't expect him to get angry when a player said "fuck" in front of him.

Louis attaches great importance to personal authority. Unless he is a low-quality bird like Bird, he will never allow players to be rough in front of him.

Once a player loses a sense of reverence for a coach, that's when the loss of control over the team begins.

But with Vernon Maxwell, Louie really had nothing to do.

This guy also has a nickname, "Mad Max".

Even the nickname is implying to you that this person is a little wrong and cannot be speculated with common sense.
