Chapter 845: Stronger than the New York Knicks, it can also be defeated

Mid- and long-distance ball-handling is a must-have skill in Louis' eyes.

This trick can work in any era.

In the 2018 playoffs, James relied on unsolved ball-handling jumpers when his teammates were generally not in the state, forcibly smashed a **** path from the weakly competitive East, incarnated as a superstar, and did not deserve that team at all. The Cavaliers in the finals took the Golden State slaughter to the finals.

Louis asked Wilson to fire frequently in the mid-to-long range, in fact, he asked him to challenge Jordan to see whose offensive firepower could remain stable under the current situation.

After Wilson challenged Jordan, the duel between the two escalated in an all-round way.

Relying on jumpers with the ball to increase individual scoring production is applicable to almost all superstars, but superstars with more jumpers are usually less efficient than superstars with more baskets.

Blacksmithing is a label that accompanied Kobe Bryant throughout his career, but if you compare him with the same style of play of his contemporaries, you will find that Kobe is still accurate.

The high proportion of mid-range jumpers must not pay attention to the high efficiency of hitting the basket. This is a fact, and it is also the limitation of jump shots. What is more difficult than ordinary mid-range jumpers is when the ball is in possession. Jump shot on defense.

This kind of attack can ignore the surrounding environment and force the attack when the teammates are not strong. Under normal circumstances, if the hit rate of this attack method can reach about 40%, it is excellent.

But today. The way Wilson and Jordan fought was completely contrary to public perception.

It turned out that in the face of high-intensity defense, the ball-holding jumper can actually control the shooting rate to more than 50%?

Wilson has two advantages, one is his size, his height and wingspan are better than Jordan's, which creates a natural advantage for his ball-handling jumper; the other is advanced concept, playing six seasons under Louis, Wilson's view of the game Already ahead of his contemporaries, he has developed the stunt of the step-back jumper in this small-ball era. At the same time, the improvement of his handling skills has allowed him to calmly find an offensive rhythm when facing Jordan's defense.

And his opponent is even more unreasonable.

Jordan first found a three-pointer at the top of the arc, and then used his explosiveness and agility to repeatedly shake off Wilson's half position and then make a pull-up jumper.

In some rounds, Wilson stuck him to death, or the Knicks teammates stepped forward in time to attack, but Jordan still didn't change his face and calmly made a fallback jumper.

In the second quarter, Wilson scored 16 points by holding the ball, while Jordan scored 18 points with a combination of sudden shots.

"How is it?" Louis asked Zhao Yuanzheng.

According to Louis' request, Zhao Yuanzheng counted the hit rate of Qiao Wei and the two in singles with the ball.

"This is beyond common sense." Zhao Yuanzheng said in surprise, "Benj made a 55% hit rate against mj's defense. I think this is the ultimate offensive performance, but mj seems to be stronger. In the face of benj's defense and the possible pinch attack at any time, he hit a 60% hit rate."

In the first half, the Blazers led the Knicks by 7 points 59-52.

Wilson and Jordan's magnificent confrontation, so that the ratings of the game soared.

"That's what a superstar is worth!"

"We saw everything in basketball in the matchup between mj and benj!"

Tragic masters cannot hear such words.

In retirement, he still refuses to admit defeat and commented on this: "Superstars' offense with the ball is only part of the game. They really play pleasingly to the eye, but this is not everything in basketball. Compared with me and Larry, benj and mj more self."

Collins's mood also eased, and he said in one sentence: "And, even benj and mj, we can see the difference between them. Compared with benj, mj has a stronger sense of self, when faced with challenges, He responded violently like a dogmatic tyrant."

"Yes, mj's offensive ability was demonstrated tonight." Bob Costas asked, "Do you think mj's offensive threat can affect the outcome of this game?"

It has long been proved that no matter how strong an individual is, the tragic master who cannot win the game if the team is not strong enough shook his head and said, "I think it is difficult for a team like the Knicks to be defeated by a strong individual. To win the Blazers, mj must not only show a high level performance, Chuck has to keep up with the intensity of mj."

This is the experience of the tragic master in exchange for eight consecutive kneels in the finals.

If Kareem was younger, if Wilkins wasn't a black hole, if Pippen was a little more offensive, if David Robinson had a killer mentality... If one of those came true, neither would the tragic Uneasy.

In the halftime room, Louie stopped his plan for the second quarter.

If the Knicks had no other player to count on besides Wilson, it would make sense to play, but it wasn't.

So Louis has to play the collective strength.

"In the second half, we're going to give the Portlanders a 'surprise'."

Louie's "surprise" is the urgency of murder.

It's just that when it's set up, Ewing urges to be the leader of the murder rush.

He believed that the murder press under his leadership would have had a different effect.

Moreover, Wilson can just sit back and wait until he hits the Blazers with a murder press team and then comes up with a big attack.

Wilson had no problem, and Louie's biggest concern with the plan was that the last time Ewing was on a murder press team was probably in the '80s.

He hadn't attempted a murder press in years.

But it was also a change, and Louis decided to give it a try.

In the second half, the Knicks' starting lineup consisted of Ainge, Stevens, Rodman, Salley, and Ewing.

Compared with the past, without Wilson and Reggie Williams, the intensity was suddenly reduced a lot.

Ewing took the initiative to stay in the frontcourt to press, while Sely stayed in the backcourt to prevent the Trail Blazers from stealing a long pass.

The Blazers' lineup has not changed, using the Flying Pigs as the core to face the Knicks' murderous press head-on.

Louie's worries became reality half a minute later.

Ewing has not trained with the members of the murder pressing team for a long time, and the tacit understanding and chemistry have long been gone. He only makes up for the deficiencies with defensive skills and experience, as well as the fighting ability left over from Georgetown University.

Also, he can't lead his teammates like Wilson.

Ewing on the court is a relatively silent player who doesn't like to talk trash, let alone communicate, which is a big drawback for a murder press that requires close cooperation.

Ewing did not cooperate well with his teammates, Sely's defensive intensity dropped significantly, and Ainge's entanglement ability was ruthlessly crushed by Jordan when his teammates were unable to help.

Rodman and Stevens couldn't hold up to the intensity of the murder rush.

And, when the Blazers finished the offense, Riley gave the order, letting the players on the court counterattack with full-court pressing.

In addition to the obvious flaws in this lineup as a murder press, the offensive end is even weaker.

Ewing can be a threat only if he gets the ball in the frontcourt;

Angie can still pass the test as a point guard, but as long as the Blazers' full-court pressing increases in intensity, an old comrade like him can't stand it;

Stevens can handle the ball, but he can't be expected to get through this difficulty;

Rodman and Salley have no effect on the offensive end without teammates restraining them.

"Patrick screwed up." Louie sighed.

Zhao Yuanzheng understands the difficulties of Louis. The self-esteem of the star needs to be taken care of. Ewing wants to enter the murder pressing because Wilson has repeatedly led this lineup to establish a victory for the Knicks.

He wanted to play like Wilson, but he got it wrong. The media promoted the murder press, not because of its effects, but because the leader was named Wilson.

The media liked Wilson, not him.

It's just like how Louie had trouble fully enlightening Isaiah Thomas during the Celtics' days, it's easy to correct one person's mistakes, but nearly impossible to correct a third party's behavior.

Thomas was despised because of his skin color, and Ewing was entirely his own.

Even so, Louie still has to give him this chance. If he can really lead the murder press to deal a heavy blow to the Blazers, it is naturally the best.

Now in this situation, Louis can only ask for a suspension.

In the first three minutes of the second half, the Knicks were 7 points behind, but now they are 15 points behind.

The situation is critical and the time has come for a change to be made.

Louie replaced Ainge, Stevens and Selly. Put on Stockton, Miller, Wilson.

He did not criticize Ewing, the decision was made by everyone, and the consequences should be shared by the team.

"Now, we should lower our stance and aim to recover 1 point in each round." Louis said to everyone, "Start with the most basic high-position dynamic attack, maintain a strong defense and a stable attack, there is still a lot of time, Enough for us to change the situation."

Before the timeout ended, Ewing had something to say.

Louis didn't give him a chance to speak: "I don't want to hear your useless nonsense. If you want to apologize, take action. I just want to see what you do, not what you say."

After that, the Knicks played a high level of offense and defense, chasing 11 points in 6 minutes, reducing the difference to 4 points.

Miller gave up his outside shot and made a bold cut into the Blazers' paint, which sent the Portlanders in disarray.

When the situation was good, Barkley hit the basket with a one-on-three violence and hit Miller in the groin, knocking him down on the spot.

This time, the Knicks' offensive and rhythm were interrupted, and Miller was withdrawn from the game.

Louie gave up Ainge and Maxwell, because if they played, they would become a cash machine for the Blazers on the defensive end~www.novelmt.com~ The advantage of putting them on the court is that they can increase the shooting point from the outside, but Louie Now it's more about defense.

So he let Stevens replace Miller.

This is like the choice made by Yunas when the national basketball team played against Spain in the 2008 Olympic Games. Put on Yao Hao to ensure the defense, or continue to use Wang Zhizhi to maintain the offense.

Judging from the results, Yunas made a wrong bet.

And Louis's focus is also more on defense than offense, because the Blazers' confrontation intensity is too high, the shooter's feel cannot be guaranteed, and at the same time, he will be heavily hit by the opponent when defending. Stevens will not have this problem, at least he can bring quality defense.

In the end, Miller's departure became the turning point of the game. With Jordan and Barkley working together, the Knicks' iron net composed of four All-Defensive team players could not stop their offense.

Ewing has repeatedly missed opportunities for one-on-one in the restricted area, and his mentality has problems after participating in the failure of the murder press.

At the end of the third quarter, the Knicks trailed by 9 points, and 3 minutes into the fourth quarter, the gap became 14 points.

The Blazers started to dominate the game with double c inside and outside. Louis did not give up and continued to request a timeout, using all means to save the situation.

The game's ratings broke the NBA's single-game viewership record, with 33 million Americans watching the game.

And most of those 33 million Americans tuned in to watch the Finals over the past few years.

They know how the Knicks dominated the league and played the Lakers in their hands.

The Knicks look set to rule until the millennium after the tragic retirement unexpectedly.

But tonight, the Blazers gave them a feeling that was stronger than ever—stronger than the New York Knicks and beatable.
